SA doctor's claims he could 'heal' migraines and Alzheimer's disease using lasers were misleading

A South Australian doctor has admitted his claims that "migraine is no longer a mystery" and he could heal conditions like Alzheimer's disease and chronic fatigue using laser therapy were misleading and false advertising, court documents have revealed. Key points: Dr Mark Rogers has been reprimanded and suspended for two months He claimed low-level laser therapy could heal conditions like migraines and chronic fatigue Court documents state the medical community did not support Dr Rogers' claims In his written response to professional misconduct allegations from the Medical Board of Australia, Dr Mark Rogers said his claims about low-level laser therapy were based on his "opinion" and "belief" rather than "hard scientific evidence". Court documents — released by the SA Health Practitioners Tribunal this week — said Dr Rogers promoted LLLT on his website, saying he was "using focused medical technologies to diagnose and heal". In his response, Dr Rogers said the post should have read that LLLT was "a most effective treatment" for Alzheimer's, brain damage and depression.
