Invitation

My laser is financed by public funding, and manufactured by the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers. It was evaluated by a double blind vs placebo clinical trial at the university hospital Jules Courmont Lyon-sud, department lead by Professor Bouvier (clinical expert).

 

 

Acupuncture, the beginning of my research  

 

In 1979 I read a book on acupuncture. Very quickly the approach of this medicine seduced me for the reason that it takes into account the whole body and introduces another dimension, at particle level, through the action of needles. I assimilated it to a thermocouple by cold welding.

It also appeared to me that not all the points and meridians have been mapped on the current acupuncture chart. The fact that new points are still being discovered in China from time to time supported  my conviction.

I applied a reasoning which I thought in accordance with the original discovery of the theory of acupuncture points and meridians and established a network of more than 300 new points completing the traditional Chinese acupunctural network.

 

Creation of laserponcture  
 

It appeared to me that the needle should be replaced by a parametred instrument so I could get a better understanding and interpretation of the results I obtained. If we start with two elements, one known and material, i.e. the laser; and another one immaterial, i.e. the network, and we get a positive result, it means that a link between both elements may exist.

The laser must give a very gentle energy, similar to the one induced by a needle into the body. I chose an infrared laser.
Gentleness and non aggression became key words in this method, so the underlying tissues are not damaged.
During the research I conducted along with a friend, we came up with what we considered being the right laser wave length. Later I established a record of the laser penetration properties.

With the laserpuncture method, 10 points are stimulated simultaneously. A session lasts 10 minutes for each laser head, i.e. 100 minutes of light in total.

 

The beginnings of laserponcture  
 

Finally in 1987, I obtained an experimental protocol in rheumatology at the Hopital Universitaire Jules Courmont in Lyon-Sud. During two years, we tested and practiced in the same unit the laserpuncture technique in a double blind trial versus placebo. Results were sufficiently interesting to extend this same technique to other fields. Thus I discovered the medical and personal difficulties that individuals with paraplegia and quadriplegia have to face.

I met a quadriplegic young boy that I followed daily for two years with laserpuncture: the progress he made encouraged me to carry on, and many other paraplegics and quadriplegics joined in.

Results being increasingly convincing, even on complete transection of the spinal cord, others again came to grow the sampling of results.

 

Reactions  
 

I had the opportunity to expose my works to numerous scientists and politicians (ministers, delegates, senators). The daily press published many articles about my works and about the swirl that they produced in the medical and scientific world.

I observed that one could make the nervous impulse jump a definitive lesion of the spinal cord without having repaired the damaged tissue. It is the transportation of energy and the information without the organ: it is a revolution in the world of neurosciences and field of neurology.

In July 1998, The National Agency for the Development of Research subsidized me for the manufacturing of a new laser equipment thus developing the concept of "Laserpunture 2".

More than 500 paraplegics and quadriplegics have benefited from laserpuncture to date.

 

Developments of laserponcture  
 

Many medical teams have trusted me to follow their patients after medical treatment by stem cells or autologous cells injections (China, Russia, Portugal, etc.). SCI individuals from 47 countries undergo laserponcture and know different degrees of recovery.

The results obtained were presented and studied in the media (press and TV) and scientific reviews several times, including in the USA, for example Discovery Channel produced a documentary on laserponcture. Moreover, the technique was the subject of a Ph.D. at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris-Nord and a Master's thesis for the diploma of physiotherapist in Liège, Belgium (aute École de la Province de Liège André Vésale). Below are listed some of the recent developments.

- A medicine thesis written by Dr Cecile Jame-Collet at the Faculte de Medecine Paris-Nord Leonard de Vinci entitled : From Dermatom to Pibu : the Link is laserpuncture - Clinical Application through Paraplegia and Quadriplegia.

- Organisation of an international congress in 2003 in France entitled: Spinal Cord Injury: Conventional and Alternative Approaches, 2003.

- News item on BBC Midlands running June 19th

- News item on Skynews International running every hour, presenting the laserpuncture results. This report was bought by a number of foreign televisions (Israel, Egypt, Australia, Dubai, Malta, etc.).

- Scientific documentary on Discovery Channel running in October 2002.

- Different radios including the Irish RTE.

- Scientific publication in Spinal Cord (Nature) and Paraplegia News (Paralysed Veterans of America, PVA).

- Numerous publications in the foreign daily press.

- Experimental protocol being considered in collaboration with the Duke of Cronwall University in Salisbury, England, UK.
