Greetings!
It is that time of the year again. Time to get focused and committed to YOU! When it comes to your health it takes an ongoing focus until once your health is achieved, and then a strong base of healthy habits to to maintain that feel good feeling, day in and day out.

Take the time right now to support yourself by writing down 3 Health Goals, the 3 that are most important for you to achieve this year. Either send them to me via email (drdale@silcom.com) or bring them in for me to review with you and together we will figure out a plan for you to achieve those goals. With your commitment + my guidance we will watch you become healthier and healthier!

A very wise person once taught me one of the most important life lessons, "take care of yourself so you can take care of others, be good to yourself so you can be good to others."
Warning! The Latest Cold and Flu Season Update.
We are now into the 5th month of our local Cold and Flu Season. The last few months we have had quite a few new infections starting up. Patients that came down with a new infection since Thanksgiving appear to have either come across the strongest strain of bugs and/or the combination of Holiday Celebrations + Adapted Bugs has put them at greater risk for getting hit hard. In the last 2 weeks I have seen some of the worst infections of this year. When they are at their worst, they create a strong head congestion and usually sinus infection symptoms also.

Our protocols, when used properly and quickly are most often getting the job done. Speed of response with the right supplements is a key component of not getting laid up for weeks. However, some patients need additional support over and above our usual protocol so please see the next article for tips.

The key to this kind of success is to be prepared!  That means having the products from Dr. Dale's Immune Protocols on hand to start taking at the first sign of an infection.   This is the most important step you can take to minimize the chances of any infection really setting you back.

If you want to maximize your resistance to getting sick, follow my Infection Prevention Protocol that is also on our Immune Refrigerator Page.

Here is my Immune Refrigerator Page so it's easy to know what to do right away. Please be sure to open the attachment, print it out and place it on your refrigerator.

Warning! Very Important: Do not stop your Cold or Flu protocol prematurely.
Oftentimes when you get on top of an infection right away, you can feel like you are all better within a few days. However, even though you have no symptoms, the bugs are still hanging around; it's just that your immune system is winning the battle. Stopping your protocol too soon can allow the infection to come back with a vengeance and often the second round is harder than the first to get on top of. So, continue your protocol for at least 2 weeks of being symptom free before stopping it.
Cold vs Flu: What's the Difference?
Common Cold
(Rhinovirus)
The Flu
(Influenza Type A virus)
Having a cold or the flu is a familiar event for many of us. A cold usually comes on slowly, starting with a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and a sore throat. The flu often comes on quickly with extreme tiredness, fever, body aches, and a cough. The symptoms are similar and difficult to tell apart. The symptoms of the flu are typically more severe than those of a cold.

What causes a Cold or Flu?
The flu and the common cold are respiratory illnesses caused by different viruses. There are hundreds of cold viruses that can cause a cold any time of year. There are fewer flu viruses. The main types are influenza A and B. Although the flu is most common during flu season, which mostly lasts from October to mid-May, it can happen any time of year. Unfortunately, the flu and a cold cannot always be reliably told apart by either the symptoms or the time of year.

What are the typical Cold symptoms?
Cold symptoms commonly begin with a sore throat, which usually goes away after a day or two. Nasal symptoms, runny nose, and congestion follow, along with a cough by the fourth and fifth days. Fever is uncommon in adults with a cold, but a slight fever is possible. Children are more likely to have a fever with a cold.

With cold symptoms, the nose teems with watery nasal secretions for the first few days. Later, these become thicker and darker. Dark mucus is natural and does not necessarily mean you have developed a bacterial infection, such as a sinus infection.

During the first three days that you have cold symptoms, you are contagious. This means you can pass the cold to others, so be cautious to not spread your germs.

What are the typical Flu symptoms?
Flu symptoms are usually more severe than cold symptoms and come on quickly. Symptoms of flu include sore throat, fever, headache, muscle aches and soreness, congestion, and cough. Swine flu in particular is also associated with nausea and vomiting.

One of the most common complication of the flu is pneumonia, particularly in the young, elderly, or people with lung or heart problems. If you notice shortness of breath, let your doctor know. Another common sign of pneumonia is fever that comes back after having been gone for a day or two.

Just like cold viruses, flu viruses enter your body through the mucous membranes of the nose, eyes, or mouth. So, be cautious when around others who are sick to protect yourself from the germs they are spreading.

Regenerating Your Cells!
Celluma: The Best Low-Level Light Therapy There Is?
Cleared by the FDA for pain management and skin care, Celluma uses light energy to improve cellular health by  accelerating the repair and replenishment of compromised tissue cells. Celluma devices are FDA-cleared to treat the following conditions:

  • Wrinkles
  • Inflammatory Acne Vulgaris
  • Muscle & Joint Pain
  • Arthritic Pain
  • Muscle Tissue Tension
  • Diminished Blood Circulation
  • Muscle & Joint Stiffness
  • Muscle Spasm

Celluma can say FDA cleared on their devices as they have double blind studies for each of these conditions showing Celluma's effectiveness.

Celluma is also CE Marked in the European Union as a Class IIa Medical Device for Dermal Wound Healing and is the only device of its kind to achieve such status.

With more and more LED devices being marketed, I thought it was time to write up a quick review on how Celluma compares to some of the other brands available. I trust after reading below you’ll understand why Celluma outshines the competition.

Why Choose Celluma?
As the manufacturer of Celluma, a Class II medical device, BioPhotas is registered and regulated by the FDA, ISO, and many other regulatory agencies. Celluma is also medically CE-Marked as a Class IIa device in Europe, and is the first device of its kind to receive this status. There are well-understood and proven parameters that affect the efficacy of a light therapy device, and no other device on the market meets these parameters like Celluma. 

Celluma vs. Masks
There really is no comparison between Celluma and any mask device, including the Deesse Mask. 
  • Masks are extremely limited in how and where they can be used. 
  • Most patients do not like the feeling of masks on their face, and masks leave temporary marks. 
  • Additionally, the Deesse mask has no medical credentials, it is not FDA cleared to treat anything and it's not medically CE marked to treat skin wounds. This means it has no industry standard credentials, and has not been reviewed by the FDA, TUV, UL, CE, ISO or any other agency that regulates the manufacture of medical devices for safety and efficacy. 

Celluma vs. LED devices on eBay, Amazon and many more outlets
  • Most LED devices sold on eBay, Amazon and many more outlets are Chinese or Korean imports with no industry standard credentials, meaning they have not been reviewed by any agency that regulates the manufacture of medical devices for safety and efficacy.  
  • One serious red flag is that they are available under different names all over the Internet, with the price ranging from approx. $150-$320. 
  • In addition, they may purport to use green and yellow, or amber wavelengths, which have no basis for treating skin conditions in scientific research. 

Celluma vs. Lightstim
Lightstim panels were advanced for their time but are outdated technology by today’s standards.
  • It takes three Lightstim Panels to do what one Celluma can do, and at a fraction of the cost of just one LightStim panel. 
  • Celluma uses three powerful wavelengths simultaneously in each of its three programs to upregulate a variety of compromised cells at different tissue depths. This is why Celluma is effective for so many different types of conditions. No other LED panel has this capability. 
  • Additionally, Celluma is flexible. This patented design feature allows the device to be placed close to the skin which GREATLY enhances the ability of the under-functioning cells to absorb the light energy. This gives faster and better results and is key to Celluma’s effectiveness and excellent outcomes. 

Celluma V Joovv
Cell absorption rates are determined by duration of treatment, meaning that cells need to absorb a certain amount of energy in order to effect a positive change at the cellular level. Moreover, cells can only absorb a certain amount of energy at any given moment. So, if the treatment time is too short then results will likely fall short of expectations. 
  • The Joovv devices appear to produce irradiance outside the recommended efficacy, power and safety parameters for low-level light therapy devices. 
  • Joovv devices have not been reviewed by the FDA for efficacy or safety. (Joovv’s website states that Joovv devices are FDA registered, this does not mean the same thing as FDA-cleared or FDA-approved.)
  • The recommended treatment time for the Joovv device is only 8-10 minutes. 
  • In addition, you’re instructed to stand approximately 6” away from the device.
  • Joovv, being a flat device, will not be able to very effectively treat cells. 

With all the research I have done in this arena, Celluma is not only the most researched device, it is very well designed to enhance effectiveness. Additionally, it is by far the best value of the devices on the market. I just analyzed a product this week that cost more than 4x's as much and was not nearly as well designed and had less LED's.
