LifeWave Patches

Martha Lucas — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 23:28:57 +0000

What Dr. Martha has to say about Lifewave patch therapies:

It’s an interesting way that the circle of a career can go. I started Chinese medicine because of being introduced to light therapy in the form of Colorpuncture. And now, 25 years in (and still loving my “job” helping people and being fascinated by my medicine) I am back to doing light therapy aka Photobiomodulation or phototherapy which involves treating the body with light. In THIS case, the Lifewave patch’s non-transdermal design is treating your body with your own heat generated light – like you see with night vision goggles. They are harnessing your own body’s light energy to heal.

When I first heard about Lifewave, I was skeptical and waited for a long time before even doing my research on them. But, I was impressed when I took the time to read their studies. So I jumped in for personal (and family use) first, then started to introduce my patients to them.

By the way, those patch users who are being guided by a Chinese medicine practitioner are very lucky. Why? Because I can guide you about where to put the patches according to your diagnosis and using your body’s meridians and acupuncture points for the best results. You and I would set up a time to get on Zoom or in my office to get you started!

My personal experience:

As I said, in the beginning, I was (of course) skeptical. The company makes some pretty big claims and uses an affiliate program for people to buy the patches. For example, they claim 5 second pain relief with the IceWave patch. It turns out that I have experienced that with my own eyes on patients! NOT a cure by any means, but some pain relief – an assist while the body heals. It offers some pain-free time which can give a person time to breathe and relax.

Speaking of pain: on my first day of using the patches I wrote down all of my “conditions” or symptoms so I would remember since we have a tendency to forget what helped or what we did/changed when we do well. It turns out that daily pain was one of my “conditions”. After 6 weeks of using the X39 AND X49 (which I call my bone patch) I have had more than a week with no day time pain and no night time pain. This despite the fact that I’ve been increasing both my running time and distance. Why would that be important? Because, according to testing and prior pain, I have some bone on bone on my left knee and some bone spurs in my right knee. Yes, there has been talk of knee replacement BUT my doctor (whom I love), when I asked “should I quit running?” – his answer was “No. Arthritis is going to keep on going whether you quit or not. If you quit, arthritis wins. Our job is to keep you doing what you love doing on your God-given parts for as long as possible.” ….. I loved hearing that because I can do a lot for myself: acupuncture, herbs, Gua Sha, injection therapy — ALL totally natural, total support of my body and then I added the Lifewave X 39 (stem cell proliferation) and X 49 patches. I had been doing all the other stuff before the patches and now (and I’m afraid to say it out loud because I might jinx myself) but I am virtually pain free.

Stiffness was another of my daily complaints: I wrote “pretty stiff when I get up from sitting in a chair for a while” and that is gone also. I can’t give one other individual thing credit.

Bad taste in mouth (sinus inflammation): this has also resolved without any particular sinus treatment more than my usual rinses. This, to me, just like with the pain relief, is evidence of inflammation reduction. Due to my stem cells working better? Could be …..

Cravings – I started to experiment with the SP6 Appetite Control patch 3 weeks ago to just see if it would help me not crave sugar so much. Well, I’ve had a week of a super low sugar intake without feeling any cravings or side effects – except good ones! Sugar can add to things like weight gain and arthritis pain and other inflammatory conditions. So I’m happy about that too. Remember, I exercise and watch my food intake too!!!! Everything is an assist to a healthy body and weight. They say that the patch (according to studies) stabilizes hormones and your metabolism and produces a highly significant improvement of the physiologic functional state of the liver, pancreas, kidneys, thyroid, intestines, and hypothalamus.

Surgical patient/family member: I also, had a person who had back surgery about eight months ago use the X 39 patch. I told him to put it on his surgical scar. He told me a few days later, unsolicited, that his back felt like it was “knitting”, like it did closely after the surgery. I responded “Yes! That’s exactly what I want your body to do – heal more, faster, better!” Now, since I have had so much pain relief from the combination of the X 39 and X 49 (what I call my “bone” patch), I am having him put the X 39 (stem cell proliferation patch) on the front and he’s adding the X 49 on or near his surgical scar on his back. We’ll see.

THE SCIENCE based on studies that measure results in urine and blood samples from study participants

+ these are non-transdermal patches made with organic materials and crystals that reflect very specific wavelengths of light from heat in your body.

+ the photo crystals elevate copper peptides in your body – that is the key to their healing effects.

+ the X39 patch increases the expression of the human copper-binding peptide GHK and the P63 protein which regulate stem cell proliferation (chart below).

+ it elevates copper peptides to improve stem cell proliferation resetting genes to a younger, healthier state.

+ its effect on your body’s level of copper peptides increases the energy produced in the mitochondria of cells which also increases stem cell proliferation.

+ glycine and alanine levels show a statistically significant improvement.

+ the extra energy in the mitochondria increases level of GABA in the brain. GABA induces calm and sleep and just getting better sleep quality can change everything.

+ tryptophan increases too (better sleep).

+ improves brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) and (GABA) which are related to both neurodegeneration and neuroregeneration. BDNF and GABA systems are involved in critical CNS functions ranging from neuronal development and survival to learning, memory, and more control of the activity of stem cells.

*The patches aren’t a miracle cure ……. I DO believe in Chinese medicine as a potential cure for issues and the patches have certainly “reduced/cured/made go away” my all over body pain but don’t think of them as a miracle cure.

Just like your body didn’t get to where it is in a day, or you can’t build beautiful biceps in the gym without working out often and consistently, anything that is going to cure or significantly reduce symptoms, takes consistency and some bit of time. I usually ask people to commit to 3 months of patching … most people see results WAY before that but I think that the commitment to treatment is key.

Facial Gua Sha Massage Oil and Tool – beautiful skin at home

Martha Lucas — Sun, 12 Mar 2023 19:48:44 +0000

Dr. Martha’s Facial Gua Sha treatment:

promotes lymphatic drainage so reduces puffiness
increases circulation and improves lymphatic function, resulting in a naturally dewy, glowing complexion.
can be used to prevent and clear acne, decongesting the skin and lessening inflammation.
stimulates blood circulation which increases the amount of oxygen and nutrients that reach the skin and can result in an overall clearer and brighter complexion.
helps stimulate circulation, the technique itself oxygenates and carries nutrients to the skin cells.
contributes to a more lively, plumped up and youthful appearance.

Regular facial Gua Sha treatments can prevent the signs of aging such as sagging, dull and wrinkled skin. The action of gently scraping the Gua Sha tool across the skin aids in serum/moisturizer product penetration, so those juicy phytonutrients go deeper into the layers of skin to feed us even more hydration.

We hold so much tension in our face and neck. Massage with a Gua Sha stone can really get into sticky knotted areas to release held muscular tension, thus allowing muscles to do their supportive jobs properly. You’ll experience a dramatic release of tension with Gua Sha. This can be a great tool for TMJ and headache sufferers. Relaxing our facial muscles regularly also prevents and fades light expression lines.

What it does:

Yes, it can be used as a FACIAL OIL CLEANSER too. Here’s why:

Helianthus annuus seed oil (sunflower) has emollient properties so softens and smooths skin (reduce roughness and flakiness) and provides a protective layer to help prevent moisture loss. That’s because it’s high in oleic acid, linoleic acid, and vitamin E.

Rosehip oil is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A, B-carotene, C, D, & E to help boost collagen and improve skin elasticity and it’s good for all skin types. It is said to address hyper-pigmentation and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It is ideal for facial cupping and gua sha and for cleansing because it helps regenerate skin cells, clean pores, and eliminate blemishes. It is also known to soothe rosacea and dilated capillaries.

Camellia leaves the skin smooth and more resilient. It helps to balance moisture in the skin and is good for all skin types. It is a transdermal carrier of bioactive compounds that help repair skin damage caused by sun and aging. It will help damaged or irritated skin like acne, psoriasis, eczema, and sunburn. It gives your skin a nourished look which is what facial cupping, gua sha, and using an oil cleanser are all about!

Helichrysum targets age spots and fine lines and wrinkles. Used as a cleansing oil or for facial cupping and gua sha, it promotes healthy skin cell regeneration and gives you a youthful, glowing complexion.

Bamboo (infused into the oil) is rich in silica which is an essential nutrient that helps keep your skin stay plump and healthy. It is loaded with antioxidants that help minimize wrinkles, make skin look younger, and protect the skin from outside pollutants. It is moisturizing and helps fade dark spots by reducing melanin production.

We know that these ingredients help treat acne – even the stress or “mask acne” that people (yes, teens) are having right now.

Feel free to contact Dr. Martha to set up a virtual facial gua sha party for you and your friends so she can show you how she does it!

We love our community so donate a part of our income to a local food bank and the Cat Care Society.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:

Parabens
Phthalates
Endangered plants or minerals
Gluten

What else you need to know:

Put a few drops on the face before cupping or gua sha. For cleansing: use on dry skin, gently make circular motions for cleansing. Wipe off with damp cloth.

*All of our products are people tested; they’re bunny safe.
