On friday I was retold a story about a guy who "healed" his wound with the use of the laser from a laser level, after being told about laser-treatment at the hospital.
Now this I call BS, but I see that there's more and more advertising on laser-treatment for skin, eyes, pain, inflammation, wrinkles, as accupuncture etc. Some of this done by doctors and physiotherapists, but a lot is done by people with no health-related education.
I know that laser-surgery is real, but I think that a lot of the other stuff is just myth-based, catering to the crowd who's willing to do anything to get rid of wrinkles or is into alternative medicine. Am I wrong in believing this?
I checked the net and found WALT and LaserWorld, but I find it difficult to separate the "I want to believe"-crowd from the medical science-crowd.
Anyone who can give me a short rundown so that I have something to say the next time someone tells me a "healed by lasers"-story?
