Renowned Johns Hopkins Doctor, Paul J. Christo, Explores LifeWave Phototherapy Technology
In this Aches and Gains interview, Dr. Paul J. Christo of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine explores how
LifeWave patches are on the forefront of phototherapy technology. LifeWave Ambassador, Suzanne Somers, discusses how she uses
the patches as part of her daily health routine. Founder and CEO, David Schmidt, provides more details on the numerous benefits
they provide--particularly in the area of pain relief--without the use of stimulants, drugs or chemicals.
SAN DIEGO, April 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In his weekly radio program, Aches and Gains®, Dr. Paul J. Christo of the Johns
Hopkins University School of Medicine covers all aspects of pain and pain relief. His extensive research on chronic pain diagnosis
and treatment, combined with his Harvard and Johns Hopkins specialized training, has helped establish him as one of America's
leading pain experts. In fact, U.S. News & World Report named Dr. Christo among the top one percent of doctors in the
nation.
In a two-part segment that aired in late March, Dr. Christo turns his attention to LifeWave, a global health and wellness
company that uses the healing power of light (phototherapy) to alleviate pain and provide a number of other benefits. Dr.
Christo interviews LifeWave Founder and CEO, David Schmidt, and LifeWave Ambassador, Suzanne Somers, about the company's patented
phototherapy patches. A cancer survivor, Somers has gone on to be an outspoken advocate for alternative healing and has authored
numerous best-selling books on the subject. She discusses what role LifeWave patches play in her health routine, and how she
still uses this drug-free solution to alleviate pain and decrease inflammation.
Dr. Christo focuses a good portion of his discussion with Schmidt—the inventor behind the patented technology—on
how one particular patch (IceWave) provides pain relief. According to the LifeWave CEO: "I came up with a way of manufacturing
nano-scale crystals and embedding them into a patch. These patches reflect very specific wavelengths of light that stimulate
the surface of the skin. If someone has knee pain, for instance, they can apply the patches around the area of pain. The body
heat will activate the crystals inside of the patch. Then the patch reflects the light, stimulates the skin and starts to
reduce the inflammation immediately."
LifeWave's phototherapy technology has been tested in extensive clinical research, all of which helps substantiate the
health claims associated with each patch. Importantly, these patches deliver various benefits without the use of drugs, chemicals,
or stimulants. And unlike traditional forms of phototherapy, LifeWave patches are not devices that need to be plugged into
an electrical outlet.
This non-drug, non-addictive approach, which uses natural body heat as a power source, has put LifeWave at the forefront
of phototherapy technology. Particularly in contrast to mainstream pharmaceutical painkillers, which are known to have harmful
side effects, including widespread opioid addiction plaguing many communities in our nation today.
"Even if you are educated, pain can be so isolating and tormenting that many feel they have been robbed of life and,
as a result, are really angry," says Dr. Christo. But he also points to evidence suggesting phototherapy could be a panacea
for pain sufferers. "Lab studies have shown that phototherapy can decrease inflammatory molecules like prostatic glands.
So in general, light therapy might help slow down the amplification of the inflammatory process and reduce pain perception."
