 A NEW APPROACH
TO TREATING PAIN
If you want to have lasting relief from pain and a sustained
increase in quality of life, you don’t just stop the pain signal,
you treat the source of the pain, whilst giving support to the
whole body.

This booklet is an introduction to treating and

healing pain not only by targeting the pain signal
itself, but also by addressing other aspects that
are involved with pain, such as the regeneration
of tissue or organs, the regeneration of nerves,
reducing stress in the body, and other important
areas that seek to address the effects of pain.

SO WHAT IS PAIN ?
Pain is an indicator of something wrong in the
body. It is a message from the body to say that
something needs attention.

“Acute Pain as we encounter it in daily

life informs us about damage that is
happening to the body. Specialized
sensory nerves send signals from ar-
eas of damage in the skin or inside
the body to the brain to inform us
that something is going wrong. In
other words, pain has a clear life-pre-
serving function, since once we be-
come aware of pain and its cause we
can take corrective action to avoid
that which is quite literally destroying
the body.”[1]*

Much of the pain people experience today is

long-term chronic pain, and they rely on drug
treatments that come with side effects and are
very costly. Many feel there is no hope of a way
out – leading to depression and further side
effects.

WAYS OF
TREATING PAIN?
This e-book will introduce you to coMra therapy, a therapy that
provides you with a drug-free alternative to treat pain, and also to
invest in your overall health, so as to achieve a better quality of life.

Treatments for pain include neck pain, back pain, So coMra therapy triggers the increased synthe-

 coMra THERAPY
AND TREATING PAIN?
Here are some examples of how coMra
has been used to treat pain:

SEVERE BRUISING

“I stubbed my toe on the steel leg of

a bed and it was very painful. I used
the Delta immediately and twice a

day for the next few days. The pain
receded immediately and after three
days there was no pain or discom-
fort.” ~ E, Greece

Day 3 Day 6

TENNIS ELBOW
“The pain disappeared during the course of one
treatment.”
Dr.Brom, S t e llenbos c h, South Af ri c a

KNEE PAIN
“I had lots of pain in my knee especially going up
and down the stairs. After three weeks it is good
now. And it is months later I am reporting this and
still it is good.”
Gabo r, Toro nt o, Ca na da

SENSITIVE TEETH
“I had oversensitive teeth that were terribly sus-
ceptible to pain from hot and cold liquids. I can
now drink hot and cold beverages with ease. I am
just amazed at the healing results I got.”
Ro be r t , Edmo nton, Ca na da

 FRACTURED RIBS
“I broke my ribs during the last week
of February, 2012 and the doc-
tor said I could just rest and that it
would take 4-6 weeks during which
time there would be pain. I used the
Day 1 Day 3
Delta Laser and after just one week
of three treatment sessions a day my
ribs started to feel much better and
the bruising decreased significantly.
And after just two weeks all appear-
ance of a bruise left completely.”
Day 7 Day 14
Debbie , U.S .A.

EAR ACHE
“We used the Delta for my son’s ear infection.
During the course of treatments his fever, and
all other symptoms, cleared up. We are eternally
grateful for the Delta treating and alleviating his
sufferings, it’s probably the best thing anyone can
invest in.”
Ju lio, U.S .A.

COLD SORES
“I usually get an outbreak every 2 to 3 months.
After an outbreak, the sores last an average of
7 days. They are big, painful, and itchy. After 2
courses of coMra treatment, I didn’t experience
another outbreak until 6 months later with smaller
and less painful sores that left quicker.”
Ker r y, U.S.A.

JOINT PAIN
“About two months ago I noticed my large toe
was enlarged and hurting. I tried icing it, working
on the calluses, being sure to wear comfortable
shoes when I went walking etc., basically I just put
up with the hurt. I used the Delta and now have
JOY and RELIEF! No more pain or soreness.”
Den ise, Canada

 LOW-LEVEL LASERS
IN PAIN RELIEF
Low-level laser therapy or LLLT was developed in the 1960s,
and research since then has shown that it has been effective in
treating a wide range of conditions.

The selection of a specific frequency or range has

been found to be important in creating a positive
stimulus in the body. LLLT has proved effective in
the management both of acute pain as well as for
chronic pain [5]*. Low-Level Laser Therapy is ac-
tively studied to treat a wide range of other con-
ditions [6]* [7]*:

SPINAL C O RD IN J URY
Research documents that laser can stimulate spi-
nal cord regeneration. It was found that when the
laser was applied to the spine, it significantly im-
proved the average length of axonal re-growth
and increased the total number of axons after spi-
nal cord injury. [4]*

NECK PA IN
In 2009 a report on treating neck pain was
published in The Lancet. It was noted that phar-
macological management has limited evidence of
efficacy and a number of side-effects. The report
concluded that:

“LLLT reduces pain immediately after

treatment and up to 22 weeks after
completion of treatment in patients
with chronic neck pain.”[5]*

The magnetic field enhances the effects of the la-

ser, making the commonly used higher doses of
irradiation in LLLT unnecessary.

The light from the colour LEDs is fully absorbed

by the skin, and provides a healing message to
skin-embedded sensory nerves. The skin possess-
es vital immune and endocrine functions and the
LEDs initiate both local and systemic responses to
disease and pain through chemical messengers. It
has been shown that the sequencing of coloured
light on the body re-balances the autonomic ner-
vous system, and this is vital for distributing the
body’s energies and signals. [9]*

The main role of the ultrasound is to

accelerate the processes of restoring
damaged cellular structures and
tissues. It works on a microscopic
scale to catalyze enzyme reactions.

COMPREHENSIVE
TREATMENTS
In treating many types of acute injuries, such as cuts and sports
injuries, it is often only necessary to treat the injured body
part itself. This is a local approach and it works well for simple
injuries.

If we want to treat more serious injuries, especially

chronic conditions and illnesses, a more compre-
hensive approach is required. When it comes to
serious diseases a wide variety of different met-
abolic processes within our cells, and throughout
the body, become disrupted and impaired. When
treating chronic conditions and ailments, greater
benefits are provided by using a more systemic
approach.

Your body’s overall state of health is not only de-

pendent on the health of all its parts, but also on
how all those parts function and interact with each
other. A systemic approach has far wider health
benefits than when the sole focus of any healing
technology is confined to one area of treatment
alone. Through its actions over different areas
coMra therapy provides support for the regener-
ation of cells and tissue, and assists in normalis-
ing metabolic functions. coMra therapy’s systemic
treatments are designed to target one or more
of the following interconnected metabolic pro-
cesses within the body:

1. Cellular Regeneration
2. The Immune System
3. The Central Nervous System
4. The Blood
5. The Organs

 CHRONIC MIGRAINE
Havva, a 42-year-old female had migraine for
about 20 years. Before starting coMra therapy
she was in a very bad state and was on the point
of being hospitalized for addiction to medication
which she took nearly every other day. She had
1 to 2 attacks a week with very severe pain, each
lasting 1-3 days but also moderate to severe pain
on most other week days. Pain free days were
scarce. The 980nm Delta Laser was used for daily
treatments and at the end of the first two weeks
of daily coMra therapy, Havva started to notice
improvements in her daily pain levels. From the
7th week onward she was essentially pain free.
She stopped taking headache medication and
there was no need to go to hospital for medica-
tion addiction any more. At the end of November,
4 months after she stopped treating herself, she
still was pain free.
