Americans should consider “lasers,”Science-fiction death rays may come to your mind. Lasers, such as those in the industrial setting, can be used for cutting metal. However, most lasers prove to be much more benign. Lasers that are less intense can be used to direct attention, scan bar codes at supermarkets, and even heal.

Low-level lasers do not harm cells. They can actually do the reverse. The QLaser laser therapy device for osteoarthritis of the hands was approved by the Food and Drug Administration. “Regardless of how long they are used, they will not create cell damage,”In his book, Dr. Larry Lytle says, “Universal Healer.” “Low-level laser therapy works at the cellular level to restore the cells to health. In fact, low level laser instruments are sometimes referred to as ‘healing lights!'”

Lytle’s Q10- and Q1000 lasers have been classified by the FDA as Class 1 lasers. They are described as “non-significant risk devices,”They do not produce enough optical radiation to cause eye damage during normal use. The Q10 and Q1000 lasers are so safe that patients can see into them without causing damage to their eyes. However, it is generally agreed that prolonged exposure to any laser can cause eye injury.

Sanford R. Simon is a professor of biochemistry, pathology at Stonybrook Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, Department of Pathology. He tested the Q10, Q1000 and Q10 predecessors in 2000. “These [the study’s] results strongly suggest that the lasers are truly safe for human use, and cannot damage human cells.”

These low-level laser therapy devices can be used to treat arthritis at home. The therapy stimulates cells to release pain-killing endorphins. It also promotes faster healing, decreases inflammation, relaxes muscle spasms and enhances the immune system.
