Thermal Imaging with the Teletherm infrared camera is an easy, non-contact, and truly non-invasive way to observe and monitor the effects of treatments, health products, pharmaceuticals and exercise.  This technology helps to establish efficacy for various therapies.


SERIES taken before and after ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT on the leg for Baker's Cyst problem (taken at recent Teletherm training class in Tampa). Subject suffered pain with left leg. Major area of inflammation on left leg before acupuncture treatment (first two images in upper left - anterior, posterior, respectively). On posterior view of left leg (top middle image), note region of increased heat, represented in red. Significant asymmetry from back of knee to lower left leg.

Note significant cooling of posterior left leg on image top right after initial treatment, (yellows and greens) and after 1.5 hours on anterior view with some warming back up on posterior view (2nd row right). The female subject was treated again the following morning. Final image on lower right.
                                                                                                                                                    
acupuncture series




Series taken before a MAGNET
is used.
Note absence of fingers on hands below (very cold)
  Animated magnet images. Please wait for them to load completely.
Female subject - 74 years of age. The images to the left are animated in time sequence over a period of five minutes to confirm the consistency of the subject's poor circulatory activity in the hands. Note that there is total cutoff ... the fingers don't appear on the image. This lack of activity was evident over a period of five minutes. No change occurs. (6 images in series)
     
Series below was taken after a MAGNET
is used.
Note that fingers appear on hands (become warmer)
  Magnet images are animated - please wait for them to load completely.

The fingers will show an increase in thermal activity as the sequence progresses.
The same subject immediately after a magnet was taped with bandaid to the vicinity of the elbow as indicated. There is a cool blue/purple zone where the magnet is located initially. This heats up over the time period involved. Note the dramatic change in circulation to the fingers occurring in this series of 13 views taken. The magnet used was the size of a silver dollar.
Special Note: The above examples are from a single test conducted using the magnets on one person, on one day. These pictures illustrate that it would be useful for more extensive testing to be conducted by manufacturers and suppliers, using thermal imaging in a scientific environment. This will provide objective and helpful information about their products.

Another similar test series was conducted for Theramagnets:
See the following link:  http://www.thermology.com/theramag.htm

  Additional Note: Two complete series were conducted on this individual, both AM and PM. A placebo test was conducted using a quarter on the arm instead of the magnet prior to the use of the magnet in the AM series. No change in circulatory activity was evident with the quarter. These images are on file and available for review.


Before and After other types of therapies

Teletherm Image BEFORE wearing orthopedic sandals 
Note poor circulation in the feet (cold blue/purple shades and greens across the arch)
Teletherm Image AFTER wearing orthopedic sandals for only 15 minutes
Note changes to circulation in the feet with increased activity across the arch (warmer red and pink shades)
Aerobics Instructor BEFORE commencing low impact aerobics.
Note extremely poor circulation in hands (absence of fingers ... total thermal cut-off)
Aerobics Instructor AFTER 15 minutes low impact aerobics. Note dramatic change to circulation in the hands.

Before and After use of various Facial Creams
