The beneficial applications of low level laser therapy - Medical Journalist Report of Innovative Biologics

Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, Nov, 2002 by Morton Walker

The effects of LLLT on cancer cells in vitro have been studied, and it's known that such abnormal cells can be stimulated to grow. In viva, however, small malignant and benign tumors in rats treated with LLLT recede and completely disappear. The situation is the same for bacteria and viruses in culture. The in vitro cultured organisms are stimulated, but the infections of in viva microorganisms disappear more quickly. The lasers for LLLT are harmonizing and not stimulating.

LLLT is used today in nearly every field of medicine and health. It's not yet known how laser light can influence the immune system of oncological patients, but diseases of the lymph system, blood and arteries, do receive benefits from the application of laser light. Although LLLT does not always obtain a 100% therapeutic response, it should be applied for the relief of pain and fast healing of wounds. Among the basic rules in nature is that "light is the source of life." The quantum of light energy is a photon. Every living cell emits photons, known as biophotons. For this reason, LLLT is therapeutic without causing damage to the human body. It is a dependable healing modality.
