Excerpted from Color and Crystals, Second Revised Edition by Joy Gardner (not yet published):

Low level hand-held lasers have been used throughout the world for over thirty years. . . .Over 2000 clinical studies in Russia, Israel, Korea, the U.S. and other countries have shown that low level laser therapy (LLLT) is effective to heal a wide variety of ailments.

These remarkable broad spectrum results can occur because of the amazing light technology in which photons (light packets) harmlessly stimulate the cells to initiate bio-chemical reactions which allow the cells to perform optimally. They can re-energize damaged cell membranes to allow transport of essential nutrients across cell walls, since nutrients will not cross the depolarized membrane of an injured or sick cell wall. This then allows healthy new cells to grow more rapidly. . . .

With the laser, pain is rapidly reduced by stimulating cells to produce their own endorphins, which are a natural pain-killer. Pain normally results from trauma, inflammation, and cellular disruption or malfunction. Healing and pain relief come with cellular normalization. . . reducing inflammation by as much as 75%. . . . blood vessels experience improved dilation.
