the unit i have is a Q1000. you can go to this site:
http://www.solitonlasers.com/
there are some articles there on the laser. my unit is a bit
pricey but it is a professional model with a wide range of
capability.
it works very simply. high frequency laser is used for cutting
as in industry or with eye surgery. however, low frequencies
stimulate the body cells to produce ATP, a cellular element that
is needed for healing. so, in essence, LLL is stimulating the
bodies own healing responses. i consider it a grosser form of
homeopathy in this sense. different frequencies are used for
different levels or qualities of dis-ease. for example, my unit
has 5 different sets of frequencies, or programs. they are structural,
head/heart, organs, chakras, & lymph system. so with these 5
sets of frequencies i can work on every level of the body. there are
other frequency programs that can be purchased, some of them very
specific such as particular cancers, add, autism, etc.
i know the soft tissue in my knee was a disgusting state of mush and
i was not able to walk for over a year. my dentist introduced me
to this unit which at first i refused, but i was so desperate at the
time i agreed at last. it was terrific. i used it for about half-
dozen different structural conditions with great success so i invested
in a unit. i began to see improvement in my knee withing a couple of weeks.
i have treated several other people with it (let it pay
for itself) with a wide range of conditions. one of the most dramatic
were brain seizures in a 13 yr old dog and my cat when she was about
16-17 yrs old. vets usually put them down at that stage, but my cat
rallied round in 24 hrs and began such a rapid healing: it was
astounding. i took 3 days before starting her on a homeopathic rx so
it was very clear that the laser was doing its trick. the dog responded
very quickly, too. within the hour that i was there he began to exhibit
changes in behavior and energy.
so read up on it and you can post me if you have any more questions.
if you should decide to purchase one, let me get it for you.
i know this is off topic, so you may want to post me privately.
