Reaction of Visible Ray Treatment
The ray irradiation by a carbon ray irradiator does not make side effect like drugs or addiction symptom by continuous uses. Irradiation reactions are positive reaction and negative reaction.
Sweating, temperature increase and blood flush are the positive reactions, and temperature decrease and infection effect reducing are the negative reactions. For example, when the ray is irradiated to the purulent diseases such as gonorrhea, caries and boil, the drainage of a wound significantly increases. It is the sign to cure the affected area promptly, in other words, a negative reaction. Thus a patient feels comfortable for a while. But people, who experience it for the first time, misunderstand the increase of drainage as a bad reaction by the ray irradiation, and sometimes stop the irradiation; however, it is not required to worry.
In case of purulent diseases of the deep suppuration state progresses prior to ray irradiation, patients think that they will suffer from the intolerable pain. In most cases the ray irradiation provides an odynolysis effect, but sometimes pains are temporarily reduced and they appear later. The pain is caused by the acceleration of suppuration, and it declines and is cured if irradiation is repeatedly provided when the patient feel painful.
If a nodule is treated by a cold compress, patients are suffered from pains for a long time until suppuration, but in case of ray irradiation, it is completed drained in a short period. In other words, it has the effect to reduce and relieve pain. In case of purulent diseases of stronger pain, it is good to continue the ray irradiation till the pain is relieved. Sometimes a feverish attack occurs, but it must be a positive reaction. Therefore, if a significantly high fever occurs due to a tubercular disease, the irradiation time has to be adjusted in proportion to the increase or decrease of the temperature by reducing the irradiation time or by the irradiation every other day.
When the ray irradiation begins to treat acampsia, the patient may feel a pain at a spot that has not been painful. Then the patient can think that the symptom got worse due to the treatment, however, it is a significantly good reaction which can be considered that required blood or cells become active since the fundamental improvement has started internally. Thus, the people who have positive reaction can be easily cured and recovered.
The direct irradiation is applied to the affected part or the area of symptom. The direct irradiation is usually performed using concentrators No. 1 ~ No. 3. It is required to promote the improvement of the entire body and the recovery of physical strength by continuing the indirect irradiation simultaneously as well, since the effective result may not be expected by only direct irradiation. In particular, the indirect irradiation is important for chronic diseases and the symptoms of long laps to increase the treatment effect.
Sensitivity may vary depending on the irradiation areas or the physical state even at the same area. And in case of patients whose skin feeling is dull or paralyzed due to disease and symptom or it is difficult for patients to appeal sense (disharmony or unpleasant feeling), it is required to adjust the irradiation distance by an operator.
In principle, the irradiation time should be 5~10 minutes per a single area. The total treatment (ray irradiation) time is to be within 40minutes, and it is acceptable to irradiate for a long time if fatigue and positive reaction are not found. And in case of a number of the irradiation areas according to disease and symptoms, it is considered to provide treatments twice in the morning and evening or to irradiate by multiple therapeutic apparatus.
If possible, a therapeutic apparatus should be held horizontally to the irradiation surface (the skin), and irradiation at a right angle is the principle. In case of tilting the irradiation apparatus, the degree of ray penetration reduces and it is hard to give the effect.
In case of the indirect irradiation (both soles(7), both ankles(1), abdominal muscles(29), both knees(2), waist(6) and abdomen(5)), irradiation is often performed without using a concentrator (with the protection net as it is: ○ mark). In case of the direct irradiation, irradiation is frequently performed using a concentrator for effective treatment by making strong congestion at the affected area (improving blood flow, and promoting metabolism). And it reduces fatigue and the irradiation for a long time is possible by using a concentrator.
