This invention comprises a method and device especially designed for treating
neuro-immune-endocrine dysfunction by photostimulating pigmented neurons of
the orbital areas of the cerebral cortex with filtered light, so as to achieve
a modulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and/or of the brain-
bone marrow axis (or some other axis). The method of treatment consists of
placing the tips of the lens-holders of the device consecutively at three or
more contiguous sites of each orbtial roof for 2 to 4 minutes per site, twice
weekly, for two months and for further periods as required. Patients are
treated in a recumbent (or seated) position with eyes closed. No light is sent
through the eyes. This treatment is used for essential hypertension, chronic
pharyngitis, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies (especially respiratory),
immunodeficiency arising from any cause, cancer, systemic lupus erythematosus,
eczema, psoriasis, thyroid desease, viral syndromes and other pathologies
involving neuro-immune-endocrine dysfunction. The device is equipped with (at
least) two lens-holders, each with a filter transmitting wavelengths peaking
at 350-400nm and 750-800nm (or with other appropriate specifications), quartz
glass, biconvex lens of 50 dioptres (minimum) and low-powered medical bulb or
other light source. In the hand-held model, the holders are mounted in a
rectangular platic casing containing a printed circuit, pivot for positioning
the holders, an output regulator with a digital display for voltage/mA. The
input is 6V DC (battery model), 220V DC (mains model) and output is 0.5-3V DC
(variable); 50-300 mA. The hospital model is equipped with computerized
circuits comprising craniometric, densitometric, and other programmable
functions.
L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif spécialement conçus pour traiter les dysfonctionnements neuro-immuno-endocriniens au moyen de photostimulation des neurones pigmentés des zones orbitales du cortex cérébral avec de la lumière filtrée, et ce de manière à effectuer une modulation de l'axe hypothalamo-hypophysaire-surrénal et/ou de l'axe cerveau-moelle osseuse (ou de tout autre axe). Le procédé de traitement consiste à placer de manière consécutive les bouts des supports de lentilles du dispositif sur trois ou plusieurs sites contigus de chaque voûte orbitaire, pendant 2 à 4 minutes par site, deux fois par semaine, et ce pendant deux mois, voire plus si nécessaire. Les patients sont traités en position couchée ou assise, les yeux fermés. Aucune lumière n'est envoyée dans les yeux. Ce traitement est utilisé en cas d'hypertension artérielle essentielle, de pharyngite chronique, d'arthrose rhumatoïde, d'allergies (notamment en cas d'allergies respiratoires), d'immunodéficience (quelle qu'en soit la raison) et de lupus érythémateux systémique, d'eczéma, de psoriasis, de maladie de la thyroïde, de syndromes viraux et d'autres pathologies accompagnées de dysfonctionnements neuro-immuno-endocriniens.es dispositif est équipé d'au moins deux supports de lentilles dont chacun est muni de longueurs d'ondes d'émission à filtre culminant à 350-400 nm et à 750-800 nm (ou ayant d'autres spécifications appropriées), de verre de quartz, de lentilles biconvexes de 50 dioptries (au minimum) et d'une ampoule médicale basse intensité ou d'une autre source lumineuse. Dans le mode de réalisation portatif, les supports sont montés dans un boîtier plastique rectangulaire qui contient un circuit imprimé, une charnière servant à positionner les supports et un régulateur de sortie avec un afficheur volts / mA. L'entrée est à 6 V c.c. (modèle à piles), 220 c.a. (modèle secteur), la sortie étant de 0,5-3 V c.c. (variable) et 50-300 mA. Dans le mode de réalisation pour hôpitaux, le dispositif comprend les fonctions de craniométrie, de densitométrie et d'autres fonctions programmables.
