This is pretty amazing. Polarized light was shown to be almost as effective as statins but without the side effects.
Anti-hypercholesterolemic and anti-atherosclerotic effects of polarized-light therapy in rabbits fed a high-cholesterol diet
"To investigate the Polarized Light Therapy PLT's effects on blood lipid profiles and change in vessel walls, HCD was fed to rabbits to induce hypercholesterolemia and ensuing atherosclerosis. Rabbits has been used to study atherosclerosis because their enzyme activity of cholesterol ester transfer proteins (CETP), a causative factor of arteriosclerosis in human, is three times higher than human, so that hypercholesterolemia can be induced in a short period and lesions such as foam cells and fatty streak be easily induced [28].
In the present study, it was demonstrated that PLT substantially attenuated atherosclerosis not only by lowering blood cholesterol and LDL levels, but also by improving blood flow without adverse effects such as hepatotoxicity. Therefore, it is suggested that PLT could be an alternative therapy for the improvement of hypercholesterolemia and prevention of atherosclerosis."
