Combining RL/NIR with PEMF

RL/NIR and PEMF each offer powerful health benefits by themselves, but the combination of the two offers a promising approach to enhanced cellular function, tissue repair, and overall well-being. The effectiveness of these therapies is profoundly affected by the quality of the devices used, and we have ensured that our devices are of the highest quality. Our aim is to do everything in our power to help you heal, take back your vitality, and live the life you were meant to live!

What to expect in our office:

There is a slight learning curve to the use of our machines, but after a couple times you should be able to use them without much assistance. At that point you can schedule a treatment any time our clinic is open and the room is available. Below is a list of instructions:

1. Take a deep breath!! Give yourself permission to check your stress and frustrations at the door and spend a few minutes on YOU!

2. If this is your first time you might want to download the MitoRedLight app for the LR/NIR panel before your visit. The app is how the device gets turned on and it will be less cumbersome for you to be able to turn it on via your own device. (If you don’t want to, that is totally fine. We can turn it on from our devices, but this might be a little more difficult if you are coming in at a time when our staff is less available.)

3. Place a new paper sheet (provided) over the bed.

4. Lock the door and undress at a level that is comfortable for you. Many patients will feel more comfortable leaving their underwear on and that’s totally okay! Keep in mind that greater skin exposure = greater benefit. 

5. Remove hearing aids, jewelry and all external metal.

6. Turn on the PEMF machine. (We will show you how to do this at your initial visit.) The goal is to turn it up to settings when you can feel the pulsations but they aren’t so strong that they are uncomfortable. 

7. Situate yourself on the bed.

8. Pull the light panel in so that it is directly overhead.

9. Start the LR/NIR device.

10. Put on your protective goggles.

11. Relax and heal!

Things to do beforehand for best results:

1. Come well hydrated. As the cellular machinery “turns on”, it can upregulate your detoxification. It is important that you are well hydrated (with water and electrolytes only, not soda or juice or sugary liquids) to help with flushing out toxins. 

2. Take supplements beforehand. There is promising research that certain supplements can work synergistically with light therapies.. We recommend taking these supplements at least 30-60 minutes before your RL/NIR/PEMF treatment. 

   • Ultra Turmeric Plus (available in our clinic): Curcumin, a derivative of turmeric, can absorb the photons in red light and enhance multiple cellular functions, including apoptosis (programmed cell death of unhealthy cells), inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and reduction in pain-inducing chemicals. (Note:  because curcumin isn’t easily absorbed by the gut it is important to use a formulation that is balanced for maximum bioavailability.)

   • Methylene Blue (available in our clinic): This is a supplement that donates electrons to the mitochondria and upregulates ATP production. Methylene blue offers synergistic healing benefits by absorbing the red light photons and enhancing its effects on cells and tissues. 

(For patients only doing PEMF, not RL/NIR therapy). Things to remove from pockets or clothing:

• Keys and key fobs

• Glucose monitors and insulin pumps

• Credit cards and hotel key cards

• Belts with metal buckles

• Mobile devices

• All external metal and electronics

• Concealed weapons
