Light therapy can:
Increase vascularity (circulation) by increasing the formation of newcapillaries, which are additional blood vessels that replace damaged ones.New capillaries speed up the healing process by carrying more oxygen as wellas more nutrients needed for healing and they can also carry more wasteproducts away.
Stimulate the production of collagen Collagen is the most common proteinfound in the body. Collagen is the essential protein used to repair damagedtissue and to replace old tissue. It is the substance that holds cellstogether and has a high degree of elasticity.

By increasing collagenproduction less scar tissue is formed at the damaged site.Stimulates the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ATP is the majorcarrier of energy to all cells.

Increases in ATP allow cells to acceptnutrients faster and get rid of waste products faster by increasing theenergy level in the cell. All food turns into ATP before it is utilized bythe cells. ATP provides the chemical energy that drives the chemicalreaction of the cell.Increase lymphatic system activity Edema, which is the swelling or naturalsplinting process of the body, has two basic components.

The first is aliquid part which can be evacuated by the blood system and the second iscomprised of the proteins which have to be evacuated by the lymphaticsystem. Research has shown that the lymph vessel diameter and the flow ofthe lymph system can be doubled with the use of light therapy. The venousdiameter and the arterial diameters can also be increased. This means thatboth parts of edema (liquid and protein) can be evacuated at a much fasterrate to relieve swelling.Increase RNA and DNA synthesis This helps damaged cells to be replaced morepromptly.

Reduce the excitability of nervous tissue The photons of light energy enterthe body as negative ions. This calls upon the body to send positive ionslike calcium among others to go to the area being treated. These ions assistin firing the nerves thereby relieving pain.Stimulate fibroblastic activity which aids in the repair process Fibroblastsare present in connective tissue and are capable of forming collagen fibers.

Increase phagocytosis, which is the process of scavenging for and ingestingdead or degenerated cells by phagocyte cells for the purpose of clean up.This is an important part of the infection fighting process. Destruction ofthe infection and clean up must occur before the healing process can takeplace. Induce a thermal like effect in the tissue the light raises the temperatureof the cells although there is no heat produced from the diodes themselves.

(The BioPack cluster will be warm to the touch because of the electronicsneeded to power the 30 diodes.)Stimulates tissue granulation and connective tissue projections, which arepart of the healing process of wounds, ulcers or inflamed tissue.Stimulate acetylcholine release Acetylcholine causes cardiac inhibition,vasodilation, gastrointestinal peristalsis and other parasympatheticeffects.
