A medical training seminar was held in Las Vegas, where Eileen O'Connor from KickButtsUSA an expert experienced in using cold lasers to help people quit smoking and lose weight, demonstrated to medical doctors exactly how she uses cold lasers as part of a program to help patients stop smoking. The seminar included a live cold laser treatment for a patient who wished to stop smoking, so that the doctors in attendance could observe the treatment process and protocol involved.

New York based O'Connor has been providing doctors and other qualified medical professionals with in person and on line training to help patients stop smoking and lose weight. She can be reached at 973-625-0200.

Those medical doctors attending the seminar were given the opportunity to actually use cold lasers on each other for pain control, reducing inflammation and many performed the stop smoking treatment on each other.

Cold lasers, also known as low level lasers, have been utilized throughout Europe for decades. While new to the United States, decades of world wide cold laser use have produced few, if any, of the widely reported side effects to date.

Several of the doctors in attendance treated themselves, and/or other doctors, for various musculoskeletal conditions. Many doctors who received treatments became believers in the benefits of laser therapy and purchased laser component equipment at the seminar. There were other medical professionals in attendance who were presold on the concept of laser therapy as they had already heard of it or had heard many success stories. Some who received treatments were so impressed by the results, that they purchased cold laser equipment for the first time at this seminar.

Cold laser light has been thought to stimulate tissue and help tissue to heal more rapidly. Many doctors use the comparison of taking a sick plant and putting it out in the sun in describing how they believe laser light helps to heal tissue in the human body. Laser light penetrates the body and is thought to stimulate metabolic process in the body.

When cold lasers are used as part of a stop smoking program, the laser light is thought to stimulate cells similar to the way an acupuncture needle does, however without the needle.

Cold lasers are low powered and are frequently referred to as "low level lasers". Cold lasers do not significantly heat or damage tissue. They are very different than the cutting lasers used in surgery or hair removal.

Laser components used in the demonstrations were provided by http://www.Laser-Therapy.US a leading provider of cold laser or "low level" laser components. Licensed health care professionals can obtain cold laser components from http://www.ColdLaserTherapy.US for a fraction of the cost of name brand equipment.
