Theralase Further Validates Anti-Cancer Memory Response
Toronto, Ontario – November 12, 2014 Theralase Technologies Inc. (“Theralase”) (TSXV: TLT) (TLTFF: OTCBB) announced today that in new preclinical research, conducted at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, University Health Network (“UHN”), that it has further validated its Photo Dynamic Compound’s (“PDCs”) ability to destroy a primary host tumour and even more importantly render the animal immune to a repeated exposure of the same cancer. In research conducted at UHN in March 2012, mice were injected with 350,000 colon cancer cells (mouse cell line CT26.CL25) to produce cancerous tumours that were allowed to grow to approximately five millimeters in size. These tumours were treated with an injection of one of Theralase’s lead PDCs and then illuminated by Near Infrared (“NIR”) light to activate the PDC. The vast majority of tumours were completely destroyed. These mice were closely monitored for 20 months post treatment, until November 2013, where they remained cancer free. … Read More
Benefits of Light Therapy
Light Therapy can: Increase vascularity (circulation) by increasing the formation of new capillaries, which are additional blood vessels that replace damaged ones. New capillaries speed up the healing process by carrying more oxygen as well as more nutrients needed for healing and they can also carry more waste products away. Stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is the most common protein found in the body. Collagen is the essential protein used to repair damaged tissue and to replace old tissue. It is the substance that holds cells together and has a high degree of elasticity. By increasing collagen production less scar tissue is formed at the damaged site. Stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the major carrier of energy to all cells. Increases in ATP allow cells to accept nutrients faster and get rid of waste products faster by increasing the energy level in the cell. All … Read More

The No Pill Pain Solution – Cold Laser Therapy
Many of us suffer from some sort of ache or pain. Often times chiropractic treatment can help improve symptoms and alleviate pain but some pains need to be addressed with different techniques. Pains such as carpal tunnel syndrome, frozen shoulder, neck pain and back pain are often helped by Cold Laser Therapy/LLLT. Cold laser has been recommended by Dr. Oz as a non-invasive way to treat pain. There are also many new studies on the effectiveness of cold laser especially when treating acute injuries such as sprains and strains. Cold Laser Therapy is FDA approved and has been proven to relieve tingling, muscle weakness and loss of sensation. The idea of Cold Laser Therapy is similar to that of Ultrasound Therapy but most believe it to be less traumatic to the body and the result is a quicker recovery time. Therapeutic lasers work by supplying energy to the body in the form of non-thermal … Read More
