Guest guest Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Can be quite helpful if it's the kind that penetrates deeply. These can be bought for home use. I'm in the process of finding one that will penetrate deeply. This post looks like advertizing. At least it is for something that might be helpful. In the future It would be nice to see actual scientific reports on cold laser. ann ________________________________ To: Sent: Monday, February 6, 2012 9:54 PM Subject: COLD LASER THERAPY COLD LASER THERAPYÂ * scar tissue * autoimmune diseases * chronic or acute pain * wound healing * arthritis * migraines * disc herniations * minor nerve damage * carpal tunnel syndrome * heavy metal detoxification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have never heard of this; lasers by definition are very hot; to penetrate any distance more than 1/4 " below the surface of the skin would require very energetic radiation which would again have to be hot. Just the application of heat, by itself, is not necessarily curative. This might be fraudulent. Regards. > > Can be quite helpful if it's the kind that penetrates deeply.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 No it is not. Cold laser therapy has been proven. It is FDA approved with a 15 year study to back it up. A recent British meta-analysis of several studied also proved it worth. It's been around for at least 20 years. Sports teams use it for healing players injuries in the the USA. I copied and took both of these medical research reports to my MD who is treating my neck. He was convinced and wrote a prescription for an in home cold laser. I did not keep copies in word so I only have paper copies of the research. I do so like to see scientific research before I buy something. Cold Laser heals. Also far infra-red also heals. I have a heater that is far infra-red. I'm quite convinced that both cold laser and far infra-red both heal human/animal tissue. ann ________________________________ Subject: Re: COLD LASER THERAPY I have never heard of this; lasers by definition are very hot; to penetrate any distance more than 1/4 " below the surface of the skin would require very energetic radiation which would again have to be hot.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 When I was able to work, we used the cold laser therapy in the veterinary practice and they really do help. I used it on my good knee and my arthritic thumb and I could tell the difference....if you have a lot of metal inside of you, they work but they do get too hot. We would charge anywhere from $35.00 to $50.00 per animal depending upon the amount of and where treated. Here is a link I just Googled to help out. http://www.coldlasers.org/therapy/What-is-cold-laser-therapy/ Hugs...Martha Clausen Boise, Idaho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 The Cold Laser being referred to here is an LED laser. I use a Radio Shack red pointer to help heal small cuts and sores. These devices are used in Rehab. places and Complementary Healing places as well. They are really just Red Led light and have been found to be helpful in a number of healing situations. You can find instructions for building your own or buying them on the Internet.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hi, <<<I have never heard of this; lasers by definition are very hot; to penetrate any distance more than 1/4 " below the surface of the skin would require very energetic radiation which would again have to be hot. Just the application of heat, by itself, is not necessarily curative. This might be fraudulent.>>> Lasers are intense, focused light. There are infrared lasers, visible light (red, green, etc.), UV lasers and even laser equivalents in the microwave range of the light/EM continuum. You appear to be thinking only of visible light lasers, such as CO2 lasers that are used to cut steel. The kind that are being used here are IR or far IR. These penetrate the skin for a distance of several millimeters. This allows them to affect superficial nerves, and they have been proven to be effective for most patients with neurogenic pain. Studies have included post-Herpetic neuralgia (pain remaining long term after a shingles attack), general neuralgia, and they have even tried it in RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy). These lasers do not cut skin. They do not produce a burning sensation (hence " cold " ). They have been proven, and more and more physiatrists, podiatrists, chiropractors, physical therapists and other health workers are using them.
