	I Saw the Light Magazine: Professional Beauty Light (especially sunlight) has long been known to promote wound healing. But the effects of light can be more than skin-deep.

	Harnessing the cell’s own ability to repair and prevent neurodegenerative disease Near-IR light treatment modiﬁes cellular function, promotes cell survival, and improves outcomes in laboratory and mouse models of Parkinson’s disease.

	LED Light May Kill Wrinkles Better Than Botox German researchers have formulated a theory that high intensity light from LED lamps could be as effective as the Botulinum toxin in removing facial wrinkles. They say the light removes moisture on sub-surface tissue, restoring it’s elasticity. It would be great if something as simple as light could have these purported restorative effects (as opposed to injecting your face with a toxic substance!)

	Is It Really FDA Approved? "FDA approved": Maybe you saw the words on a company’s Web site or in a commercial promoting a new product or treatment. Some marketers may say their products are "FDA approved," but how can you know for sure?

	'Warp-10' LED Photon Energy Device Accelerates Wound Healing for Soldiers This one is right out of Star Trek. Imagine if little flashes of light could heal what ails you. Well, guess what? They apparently can! It's called the "Warp-10", and this futuristic LED (Light-Emitting Diode) device is already in use with the U.S. military. U.S. Navy nuclear submarine personnel, U.S. Navy SEAL's, and U.S. Army Special Forces have all used the Warp-10 LED device to... dramatically speed the healing of wounds/injuries.

	Red Light May Rejuvenate Wrinkled Skin Sunlight causes wrinkles, among other kinds of skin damage, but a different kind of light - specifically the red glow from LEDs - may help to smooth them out by altering the interactions between water and elastic proteins in the skin.

	Using Light to Reduce Skin Wrinkles? A recent American Chemical Society’s Weekly PressPac briefly describes how two German researchers have discovered that high intensity light can reduce facial wrinkles. This could lead to a potential alternative to Botox and cosmetic surgery for easing facial wrinkles.

	SBIR/STTR Hallmarks of Success Videos: Quantum Devices, Inc. Video news release.

	Fighting Mucositis with LED Lights The Medical College of Wisconsin is testing near-infrared technology to see if it can prevent mucositis (myoo co sigh tiss) by reviving and re-energizing damaged cells. "The cells have been attacked by the treatment of the cancer, and now they're in an energy crisis. if the light is able to help them over that energy crisis so they can heal faster, we can actually heal the mucus membranes."

	Warp 10 Feature Interview on WISC-TV Video news release.

	NASA - Important & Useful Public Information The Phase I effort achieved its objective of ascertaining and demonstrating the efficacy of light therapy using LEDs, alone and in conjunction with hyperbaric oxygen, in the treatment of wounds. Doctors at the Medical College of Wisconsin have examined how LEDs can help heal oral mucositis (severe oral sores caused by chemotherapy and radiation), diabetic skin ulcers, and serious burns. (Preventing oral mucositis improves the patients' ability to eat and drink and may also reduce the risk of infections in patients with compromised immune systems.)

	Using Light To Treat Mucositis and Help Wounds Heal A continuing program of research and development is focusing on the use of controlled illumination by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to treat mucositis and to accelerate healing of wounds. The basic idea is to illuminate the affected area of a patient with light of an intensity, duration, and wavelength (or combination of wavelengths) chosen to produce a therapeutic effect while generating only a minimal amount of heat.

	Power Games, Nature (10/26/06) There’s a fight going on inside all our cells for each breath of air. Nick Lane sheds therapeutic light on the implications for cancer and degenerative diseases.

	Warp 10 Featured Number One in NASA Spinoff Who’s to say that a little light can’t go a long way? Tiny light-emitting diode (LED) chips used to grow plants in space are lighting the way for cancer treatment, wound healing, and chronic pain alleviation on Earth.

	Quantum Devices, Inc. to be Honored as Tibbetts Award Winner Quantum Devices, Inc. of Barneveld, WI has been selected as one of the winners of the 2006 Tibbetts Awards. Ronald W. Ignatius will receive the award on Sept. 26 at the Wyndham Washington, located at 1400 M Street NW, in Washington, D.C.

	EnLightenment – Protocol for the Purchase and Use of Light Therapy Quantum Devices, Inc. (QDI), the award-winning leader and sole innovator of the HEALS™ (High Emissivity Aluminuferous Light-emitting Substrate) lighting technology for NASA and DARPA, has adopted a proactive policy to demystify the use of photon energy in the Aesthetic and Medical markets.
