more efficiently utilizing diodes of similar wavelength at any one time. Indeed it has been noted that combining diodes of different wavelengths is contraindicated if effective therapy is to be achieved.

13. Myth: Laser therapy stimulates cancer development or variants of cancer cells.

Indeed, with correct usage of laser light patients with metastases suffering from severe pain, pleural effusions and other complications have responded extremely well with regard to pain reduction in addition to diminishing the extent of other problems associated with malignancies. At the same time more research is essential in order to formulate permanent conclusions in the field of cancer treatment using laser light. This is an area that must be explored.
