Abstract: A method of laser irradiation for alleviating the physical symptoms associated with acute or chronic inflammatory conditions, which can include directing a laser beam from a laser unit in a continuous wave operation having a wavelength of approximately 1275 nm and a power output level in the range of from one (1) Watt up to and including 75 Watts on an inflamed area that is to be treated, such that the laser beam penetrates the inflamed area in the range of from 0.1 cm to 30 cm. In addition, the laser beam from the laser unit can be configured to activate intracellular photoreceptors, thereby initiating a cascade of secondary cellular metabolic effects and normalizing cellular activity towards homeostasis.

Abstract: A laser irradiation system, method, and apparatus that can generate optical energy at a specific or a range of wavelengths, power levels, and beam profiles, among others, to treat acute or chronic inflammation, wounds, and autoimmune deficiency conditions without ablating the target tissue or surrounding tissue. In one aspect, the light beam of the laser irradiation system, method, and apparatus can stimulate photoreceptors within a cell, thereby initiating a cascade of secondary cellular metabolic effects and normalizing cellular activity towards homeostasis, among other advantages.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes a hand piece featuring a laser device which is used in the irradiation of damaged cells to stimulate photoreceptors within a cell, initiating a cascade of intracellular metabolic reactions that move the cell toward homeostasis. As the cell approaches homeostasis there occur a number of secondary effects of photo stimulation which contribute to homeostatic cellular metabolism of adjacent cells. Concurrent photo stimulation of the maximal three dimensional volume of cells along with the secondary effects of the cellular metabolic homeostasis achieved in these cells results in a resolution of metabolic deficits within cells far in excess of the effects of direct photo stimulation. The current invention offers an effective method of irradiation of large numbers of cells with safe levels of optical energy to initiate the intracellular cascade toward homeostasis and the production of secondary effects contributing to homeostasis of adjacent or distant cells.
