Red LED lights healing properties....

Makes your hair grow too - just ask Warnie.

Should speed up the growth of carcinoma cells quite nicely.

Speaking of which, I also saw an ad on TV this morning for breast cancer testing using electrical impedance. The hand held scanning "paddle" looked like a cheap instrument case from jaycar with a handle from the local hardware bolted onto it. Decidedly dodgy.

Not much info on their site:

It may be legit or it may be another firepower.....

yeah, but it doesn't reduce obsessive texting :)

So it's not a complete scam.

Yeah, I had a quick look too and it seems there is a sound basis for it. It just had a backyard look to it, but I guess everything starts somewere.

So what we now need is a communal effort to be able to knock together a professional looking one and we're in business.

"Of course I'll be gentle, nothing like that breastscan mob" {:-).

I'm always wary of those who state there is 'research' behind their claims, without actually linking to any research at all.

Heck, even wikipedia knows how to do it, it can't be that hard.

Don't know about red LEDs, but infra-red lamps are used for various skin complaints.

Maybe soome basis in factre the LEDs, or maybe somebody has just linked the word 'red'.

I'm pretty sure they're used for their heating effect, rather than any direct effect that the photons have.

Sylvia.

Not to dismiss all the doubts but red lasers have been used for decades by physiotherapists to speed healing and reduce inflammation, and also used from approximately the same time to heal diabetic ulcers.

I suspect they might be heat producing led's so the colour is incidental

Possibly. But UV defintiely used for sceriasis (sp ?).

UV high-power LEDs anybody ?

geoff

no, there is no use of infra-red lasers, even though these were originally cheaper and more widely available.
