Scalar Wave Laser: Supportive Low Level & Cold Laser Science and Clinical Studies
To date there are nearly 4000 Proof Positive Clinical Studies
and Research Paperers that reveal beyond a shadow of a doubt that Low
Level Laser Therapy and Cold Laser Therapy are effective at treating a
wide range of conditions that were previously untreatable, except
through drugs and surgery.
Below is a short summary of what Cold Laser
Equipment is being successfully used for so that you can start to see
the big picture:
