Disclosed is a laser treatment device which is designed to stimulate hair growth and prevent hair loss by applying LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) to the scalp using laser light of a specified wavelength. The laser treatment device also provides ultra-low frequency mechanical vibrations to the scalp and the combination of light and vibrations is designed to produce synergy. Laser light, which may be blocked by remaining hair, may nonetheless reach the scalp using light-emitting elements attached to the ends of tooth-shaped protrusions. The present laser treatment device is characterised by a bendable applicator having said tooth-shaped protrusions such that it can change shape in accordance with the curvature of the head, which increase the efficiency of light and vibrational energy delivery. The laser treatment device is optimally controlled with a means to measure the light and vibrational energy supplied to the scalp, and the applicator may also be used as a wearable headset, which provide greater simplicity in mounting and removal.

A low level laser therapy (LLLT) system. The laser therapy apparatus comprises a laser head and a detachable battery section. When the laser head is mounted to the battery section the apparatus assumes the shape of a penlight or flashlight and can be used as a handheld laser therapy apparatus. The detached laser heads can be placed and held in apertures of a bandage that is applied to a joint of a patient to be treated for use of the apparatus as a patient worn device.

Low-level laser therapy is applied externally through the skin of the patient to targeted areas of a of a patient's body to treat diabetes or prediabetes. A patient is first diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes, preferably by blood draws that measure insulin, A1C, or glucose levels. A therapeutic amount of laser energy to apply is determined from a patient's biological factors such as body mass index. The therapeutic amount of laser energy is applied one or more times over a two week time period. The patient is then retested for diabetes or prediabetes. If necessary, a new therapeutic amount of laser energy is determined according to any changes in the patient's diabetes or prediabetes diagnosis and any changes in the patient's biological factors. Adjusted treatments with low-level laser energy continue until the diabetes or prediabetes diagnosis is removed.

Treatment using the formulation may be supplemented with one or more therapies including hyperbaric oxidation therapy (HBOT), cranial osteopathic therapy, intravenous (IV) nutrition, electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback, low level laser therapy (LLLT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), adult stem cell treatments, and a ketogenic diet and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil therapy.

An adjustable polarity laser device may treat cancer and other conditions that are responsive to polarized laser energy. The device provides both low-level laser and electrical stimulation of a treatment area, such as a tumor to promote the body's natural defense systems against harmful cells in the treatment area. The device produces low-level laser beams that are polarized with either birefringent or electrically conductive materials disposed in the path of the laser beams. Electrically conductive polarizers are charged by an electric current to impart polarity on the passing laser beams. Treatment methods include applying polarized laser energy to the targeted treatment area. The polarization of each laser beam may be selected and alternated as necessary for the condition being treated. Additionally, photodynamic compounds or photosensitizing agents can be administered to the patient prior to applying polarized laser energy.

A method of increasing bone marrow stem cells in the blood stream, and targeting those stem cells toward specific damaged or diseased organs in the body so that the tissue in these organs might be repaired. The method comprises ingestion of a claimed formulation having effective amounts of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and fucoidan being released into the blood stream over a measured period of time, and during that period, irradiating the ribs, skull, vertebrae, or pelvic bones, as well as the damaged or diseased area with low-level laser therapy. The combination of ingesting the formulation and the low-level laser therapy causes the release of bone marrow pluripotent stem cells, which then transform into the targeted tissue cells, thereby repairing the damaged or diseased tissue.
