Dear Pat,
Yes, you can use the same laser you use to check your CS with. You can hold the tip as close to the skin as you like....however, any closer tha 1/4 of an inch will, in all probability, induce a little discomfort in a few minutes....if actually touching the skin surface------in the case of the laser. With the LED array you can keep it in contact with the skin until the heat induced makes it too uncomfortable....if you so desire. In any event, with the exception of allowing the laser to shine directly into an eye.....there is little to consider any kind of health threat.
Moving, or holding in one place, is at your option. Depending on the area (size) of the immediate pain field, one will, usually, get the best result from starting in the center of the insult and working outward---slowly, in gradually increasing circles. A useful time versus area ratio is about 5 minutes duration per one square inch.....within the INTENSE discomfort (pain) region. Slow movement across the target zone, is fine. If using an LED array the ENTIRE light field (square inches) may be considered as the effective treatment area.
A typical laser pointer will, easily penetrate 1/2 inch of lean tissue (more, if fatty tissue). Any LED less than 3500 mcd power level-----will penetrate lesser depths....but will, still, be helpful.
Sincerely, Brooks.
p.s. There is NO DANGER of the laser pointer "burning a hole" in your skin.....the power level is too small for such effect. LED flashlights are, rarely, suitable for use as the power level in lumens is too low----and the portion of the color spectrum is incorrect.

Do you mean to use a laser light like one we might use to check the CS? Just an ordinary red one? How close would you hold it to the skin? Do you move it back and forth over the area or just pick the most painful point and hold it there for several minutes? I would have thought it would burn a hole through the skin.



Pat

Subject: CS>Adjunctive Protocol for DMSO (TOPICAL) Applications



Disclaimer: Please understand that ALL information posted by me...or any staff member----is for RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY and in NO WAY constitutes medical advice or prescription.

Although this comment addresses, mostly, various posts relating to DMSO uses during the immediate several days past, I believe this information to be worthy of consideration.

Several years ago we discovered that the application of laser light, or high-power LED light....furnished an excellent "multiplying effect" for topical applications of DMSO. The primary influence came from a simple, but powerful, increase in local-area circulation. We were able to decrease swelling presentations and attendant pain,

sometimes by 100%.....via the simple expedient of furnishing exposure of the afflicted area to this form of light. Even the cheapest Laser pointer yielded measurable, rapid, response.

The most effective results came when the coherent light source was concentrated directly

at the center of the pain field. While extended exposures (15 to 20 minutes) did yield the greatest relief.....even 5 minutes exposure measurably accelerated the pain mitigation

generated. While this combination protocol has been, previously, discussed on the list....it has been some time and many newer members may not be aware of the value---and----safety.....of this simple modifier.

Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.

p.s. One interesting finding, during our general investigations, was that either low Level Laser or high-power (3500 mcd and up) LED sources, when aimed directly on areas presenting infections presenting in the upper throat (especially those fulminating and/or marked by pustule presences).....responded in a majority of cases, with RAPID, sometimes SPECTACULAR IMPROVEMENT-----without support from ANY OTHER protocol. However, when used in conjunction with 20% DMSO (BY VOLUME) AND 80% (BY VOLUME) 10 to 15 ppm Colloidal Silver,

we were able to negate the effects of VERY CHALLENGING MRSA insults.....in 90% of our test evaluations.

The DMSO x CS solution was applied via a simple spray bottle and followed, immediately, with exposure to the concentrated light source.

Be advised: 20% solutions of DMSO sprayed on the epithelial tissues in the upper throat may---in some cases---cause an involuntary gag-reflex to manifest. While not dangerous, this condition is, sometimes, upsetting to susceptible individuals. If the experimental subject suffers from this hyper-sensitivity type gag-reflex.....just lower the DMSO component to 10%....for an acceptable resolution. For applications addressing EXTERNAL

areas of the body, light sensitivities do not, normally, present the exposure-time

considerations.....as do those involving the interior surfaces (epithelial) of the body.

CAUTION: Do note that extended exposure to non-filtered, high-energy light in this part if the spectrum can result in discomforting form of surface-tissue blistering. Therefore, exposure beyond 5 minutes at a single session is not recommended for researchers. --
