1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,160
Tell me about your vision.

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,280
Well, what I really think is going

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,080
to be the revolution in medicine,

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,180
and therefore the revolution in health,

5
00:00:11,180 --> 00:00:14,960
is the use of infrared light.

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,760
And that's what I'm going to really be talking about today,

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,600
is how infrared light can make you healthier.

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:23,180
That's awesome.

9
00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:24,960
Tell me more about that.

10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,520
Well, certain wavelengths of infrared light

11
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,040
have the ability, if they can get through your scalp

12
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,280
and skull, to activate the mitochondria, which

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,440
are the little energy organelles and cells.

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,000
And that turns on brain healing.

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,760
But there's another aspect that I'm going to focus on today,

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,140
and that is certain wavelengths of infrared light

17
00:00:48,140 --> 00:00:53,080
increase the ability of your brain to clear toxins.

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,920
Now, this becomes really important.

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,520
So let me tell you a little bit about the system that

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,960
clears toxins from the brain first.

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,200
So we've been studying the brain for hundreds and hundreds

22
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,080
and hundreds of years.

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,840
And until eight years ago, we did not

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,060
know that the brain had its own lymphatic system.

25
00:01:13,060 --> 00:01:17,640
That is, not to move blood, but to move liquid

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,520
and to move toxins.

27
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,120
And with the discovery of that lymphatic system

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,280
and the study that's gone on in the last eight years,

29
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,920
we now understand that that system is what clears things

30
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,160
like amyloid and tau and those other nasty proteins that

31
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,400
cause disease.

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,880
That's awesome.

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,800
I used to do, I mean, I think I still do sometimes,

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,240
I do red light therapy.

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,400
And that's all infrared.

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,680
But I wasn't aware there's multiple versions

37
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,160
of this red light therapy.

38
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,800
Absolutely.

39
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,760
Big spectrum of light.

40
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,260
Yeah.

41
00:01:56,260 --> 00:01:59,280
So where did this vision of you coming in and talking

42
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:05,160
about infrared and researching in that area come from?

43
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,680
Well, I started working with infrared light

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:15,640
as a treatment for traumatic brain injury back in 2012.

45
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:21,360
And at that time, there were lots of animal studies.

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,680
But no one had grown it up so it worked on humans.

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,320
They had things that worked on mice,

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,440
but they didn't work on humans because our scalp and skull

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,880
is a whole lot thicker than that of a mouse.

50
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,840
So we worked on that.

51
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,840
We went in the laboratory and figured out

52
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,160
how exactly, how much energy you need,

53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,760
how do you have to pulse it, what wavelengths

54
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,600
to be able to get into the human brain.

55
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,400
And we started treating patients.

56
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,600
And they started getting better.

57
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:54,480
That's awesome.

58
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,560
So I think I'm assuming on this side,

59
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,360
but I'm assuming you have case studies

60
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,880
and people who have actually gotten better

61
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,040
from using infrared.

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,320
And you have a list of all those referrals, correct?

63
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,920
Yeah, we published our first study in 2015

64
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:11,920
on traumatic brain injury in 2017.

65
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:15,560
We published a larger series of patients

66
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,400
who were treated for depression.

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,640
Right now, Harvard and I are working together

68
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:22,680
on a research grant to look specifically

69
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,520
at traumatic brain injury.

70
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,960
That's awesome.

71
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:33,960
So what is your goal for being on the show, then, Doctor?

72
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,080
Well, I'll be honest.

73
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,320
There's two goals.

74
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,200
Let's talk about the first goal.

75
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,800
The first goal is to really get people thinking

76
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,120
about infrared light differently.

77
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,480
And you're a great example.

78
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,240
Well, I've got this infrared sauna, or this infrared bed,

79
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,200
or this infrared pad that I can put on myself.

80
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,920
And usually, those are working in the wavelengths

81
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,320
that help with inflammation.

82
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,800
And so it has great anti-inflammatory properties.

83
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,720
But those wavelengths don't do anything for the brain.

84
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,560
And they can't get through your skin to reach the brain.

85
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,360
You have to have enough energy to get through the scalp

86
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,680
and into the brain.

87
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,960
And I think that one of the things

88
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:26,480
that we had to start thinking about is how to be healthier.

89
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,200
And part of that is going to be understanding

90
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,880
how to clear the toxins from our brain.

91
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,680
I mean, not just recreational toxins,

92
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,200
like I enjoy my wine, and it's a toxin.

93
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,680
But also the toxins that accumulate just

94
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,400
from aging, and just from use, and just

95
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,280
from a rough game of touch football,

96
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:54,800
or people whose professions are to get their brain bonked

97
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,600
around, like football players and soldiers.

98
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,520
But also just your entrepreneur, your hard-driven businessman

99
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,960
or businesswoman who is working long hours and not sleeping

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,200
enough, they will develop a kind of cumulative,

101
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,160
accumulation of toxins.

102
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,400
Because here's the thing about that system that

103
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,280
clears toxins from the brain.

104
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:21,440
It's called the glymphatic system, by the way.

105
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,040
It works best in stage four sleep.

106
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,640
That is a deep sleep.

107
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,520
It's four times more effective in deep sleep

108
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,400
than it is when you're awake.

109
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,480
So if you're not getting good sleep, like you're depressed,

110
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,320
you have a concussion or a brain injury,

111
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,640
you have too much deadlines, you have PTSD, you have anxiety,

112
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,640
all these, you have the beginnings

113
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,080
of mild cognitive impairment, the beginnings of dementia,

114
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,640
your sleep gets worse.

115
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,160
And therefore, you're not clearing these toxins.

116
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,920
But even in a healthy person, if you're not

117
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:03,360
getting enough stage four sleep, you're not clearing the toxins.

118
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,160
So what do you do?

119
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,400
What do you do?

120
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,800
Certain wavelengths of infrared light actually

121
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,240
increase the clearance of toxins from the brain.

122
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:21,040
So by treating the brain with these certain wavelengths,

123
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,400
you will triple the amount of toxins

124
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,800
you're clearing from your brain.

125
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,360
And this was shown in mice who were made Alzheimer's

126
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,560
because they make too much amyloid.

127
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,000
And they showed that they cleared the amyloid much more

128
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,400
effectively when they were treated with that infrared light.

129
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,360
Again, you had to have enough energy

130
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,320
to get through the scalp and the skull and into the brain.

131
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,400
Yeah.

132
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,960
There was a second goal, right?

133
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,920
I'm one guy.

134
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,840
In Denver, with one clinic, treated hundreds of patients.

135
00:06:56,840 --> 00:07:00,400
Every single patient has gotten better.

136
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,480
I'm sure there's someone out there

137
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,360
who would like to be part of that,

138
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,520
who would like to see a clinic on the East Coast

139
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,320
and a clinic on the West Coast and a clinic in Texas

140
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,520
or wherever, Chicago, et cetera.

141
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,400
We need that because there are so many people who are suffering.

142
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,960
Wow.

143
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:23,720
That's awesome.

144
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,800
Every patient got better.

145
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,440
Every single patient has seen benefit that we have treated.

146
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,360
Yes.

147
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,920
That's awesome.

148
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,560
Would you like an example?

149
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,640
Yeah, go ahead.

150
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,000
So let's start with something really intriguing and kind

151
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,920
of hot topic right now.

152
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,960
Long COVID.

153
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,400
You get COVID.

154
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,480
You get over the COVID, but you're still fatigued

155
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,120
and you have trouble breathing and you can't think.

156
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,400
And you have to take time off from work.

157
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,240
You get behind.

158
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,880
That long COVID, we're still figuring out what it is.

159
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,000
The federal government spent millions of dollars on a study

160
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,160
and all they did was, OK, here are the symptoms of long COVID.

161
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,800
We've got no treatment.

162
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,000
We're treating it with infrared light.

163
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,560
And we're seeing complete resolution of the fatigue

164
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,200
and the brain fog and other neurological symptoms

165
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,080
like a tremor.

166
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,440
And we're seeing patients who could walk up a flight of stairs.

167
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,600
They're now back to hiking the 14ers here in Colorado,

168
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,560
the Rocky Mountains.

169
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,720
So that's pretty cool.

170
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,920
It is, yeah.

171
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,240
That's awesome.

172
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,600
That's a lot of times, specifically,

173
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,520
my experience with Western medicine hasn't been well.

174
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,920
They've gone and treated symptoms and stuff

175
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,160
and nothing has healed a lot of places a lot of times.

176
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,720
So if there is something that actually treats and heals you,

177
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,120
I think that's amazing.

178
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,240
And I think China needs to be promoted.

179
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,640
So that's awesome.

180
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,080
Yeah, yeah.

181
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,560
Western medicine's answer is a pill, right?

182
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:08,360
You're depressed, here, take a pill.

183
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,920
But the chance that you're going to get better from SSRI,

184
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,920
about 17%, that's it.

185
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:20,160
Because in reality, this is going to shock your audience.

186
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:26,440
In reality, serotonin has nothing to do with depression.

187
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,080
Science has proven that.

188
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,480
And I wrote a book about depression.

189
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,320
It's right up there, brighter days ahead.

190
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,840
And we talk about that depression is, in fact,

191
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,840
a degenerative process in the brain.

192
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,360
Synapses are breaking down.

193
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,240
Circuits are breaking down.

194
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,080
Cells are dying.

195
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,640
And the frontal cortex is shrinking in depression.

196
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,960
Now, the good news is you can reverse that.

197
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,240
Neuroplasticity will reverse that.

198
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,000
This is where infrared light for depression has been amazing.

199
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,720
I said the response rate to Prozac was like 17%.

200
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:11,240
In our study, the response rate was 93%.

201
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,040
So almost everybody in the study saw improvement

202
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,120
in their depression.

203
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,440
Not just a little bit, but a lot.

204
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,200
And we followed those patients since 2017.

205
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,400
We did the study in 2015.

206
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,560
So we're now, what, nine years later?

207
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:30,560
A lot of them are still doing great.

208
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:32,480
No meds.

209
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,360
Our patients with traumatic brain injury,

210
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,960
they're still doing great.

211
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:42,440
So this is powerful and long lasting.

212
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,360
Yeah.

213
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,440
That's awesome.

214
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,080
I would love if your team could send us

215
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,760
some of those case studies and those research

216
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:51,360
that you've done.

217
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,920
I think that'd be amazing for us to verify.

218
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,600
And that being said, the second point,

219
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,680
let me ask you a question on the infrared.

220
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:07,160
At what stage does someone, let's say,

221
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,840
the infrared therapy that I do, just inflammation one,

222
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,000
and then the infrared therapy that you do,

223
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,160
which is in the brain one, at what stage

224
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,640
does someone should just focus on this or that or both?

225
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,800
And why would that be?

226
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,360
And how do they decide, hey, is my gym membership

227
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,480
that gives me the infrared therapy or the bed I have,

228
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,200
the lights I have, is that enough or not?

229
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,120
Right.

230
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,680
That's a great question.

231
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,160
So there's sort of two parts to it.

232
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,240
First is the wavelength question.

233
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,120
Because infrared is this big spectrum.

234
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,920
And some of the spectrums will do things to the mitochondria

235
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,760
because the mitochondria contain copper.

236
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,960
And the copper says, OK, this wavelength around 800,

237
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,640
that's going to turn me on.

238
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,840
1160 doesn't do anything to me.

239
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,000
So you have to have the right wavelength.

240
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,760
The second thing is you have to have the right power.

241
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:10,840
So low power LED things, these hoods and these helmets

242
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,160
that you can buy and stick on top of your head,

243
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,040
they penetrate about 0.8 millimeters.

244
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:23,120
That's like seven sheets of paper into the skin.

245
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,880
And that's it.

246
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,560
They don't get through scalp.

247
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:28,120
They don't get through skull.

248
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,440
And my skull is thicker than most.

249
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:35,280
But the average skull is about 7 millimeters thick.

250
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,760
You need enough energy to get through that to actually really

251
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,480
treat the brain.

252
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,600
And so what we do in our clinic with the multi-watt device

253
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,000
is we actually get to the brain and activate the brain

254
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,320
directly.

255
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,920
All these little devices that can stick on your head

256
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,280
with LEDs, and whether it's a hood or a cap or wireframe

257
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,960
thing, they're treating the skin.

258
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,840
They're treating the skin.

259
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,680
And there's an indirect effect from the skin

260
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:11,360
to the brain and the rest of the body.

261
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,440
So I'm not saying it doesn't do anything.

262
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,160
But what it does is very small.

263
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,720
And the moment you stop that treatment on a daily basis,

264
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,600
it goes away.

265
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,240
That's the difference.

266
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,080
That's awesome.

267
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,000
Well, there's the other side of the equation.

268
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,360
You mentioned two goals for being on the show.

269
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,280
One of the goals was if more people would open the franchises

270
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,440
that you have in maybe a franchise, maybe a clinic,

271
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,480
maybe just a branch.

272
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,720
Can a normal person afford treatments at your clinic?

273
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,440
And the second question is, if someone

274
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,320
wants to get in and do open a clinic,

275
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,720
what's the process about it?

276
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,320
To answer the second question first, just reach out to me

277
00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:58,800
directly.

278
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,840
The patients that we're treating,

279
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,240
it's a cash operation because insurances,

280
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,080
they'll get around to accepting this in about 20 years.

281
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,760
Right now, this is innovative.

282
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,720
So it's much like stem cell clinics.

283
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,640
If you go to a stem cell clinic and you

284
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,280
get a stem cell injection for x amount of dollars

285
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,040
and you don't have to have hip surgery, that's a win.

286
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,240
So in our clinic, we come in, patients get treated,

287
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,800
and they get rid of their ADHD medication

288
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,400
or they get rid of their antidepressant or take

289
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,680
one antidepressant at a much lower dose

290
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,080
than they did before.

291
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,320
Or they don't have all the brain injury problems.

292
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,960
We had a geophysicist, and she got hit by a car

293
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,600
while riding her bike.

294
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,120
Geophysicist, so she's working with complex math.

295
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,400
She couldn't do two plus two.

296
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,040
She couldn't add two plus two.

297
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,680
Now she's back to working her very complicated job

298
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,920
doing complex math.

299
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,840
All of her symptoms went away.

300
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:17,360
What about schizophrenia or things like,

301
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,160
I can't remember the exact words,

302
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,440
but like schizophrenia and things like that.

303
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,520
Do you guys treat that as well?

304
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,680
Unfortunately, schizophrenia is a little bit

305
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,720
different situation.

306
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,120
It's really driven.

307
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,000
There are genes that are involved in schizophrenia,

308
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,840
and it's not a degenerative mechanism

309
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,760
that we're necessarily able to undo.

310
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:42,040
So there's very little in the entire world

311
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,560
of looking at treating patients with infrared light.

312
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,520
There's very, very little success

313
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,560
in the area of schizophrenia, just to be honest.

314
00:15:50,560 --> 00:16:01,440
So what's the broad category that infrared treats?

315
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,120
Yeah, good.

316
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,680
It's more of a laundry list.

317
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,840
So traumatic brain injury and concussion,

318
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,000
which is an injury.

319
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,160
That's a physical injury.

320
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,440
Alzheimer's and mild cognitive impairment.

321
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,040
Parkinson's disease.

322
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,440
I have patients who have been steady on their meds

323
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,840
for seven years instead of every few months

324
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,280
you have to increase the dose of Parkinson's.

325
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,880
Depression, anxiety, PTSD.

326
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,000
And then we're finding long COVID.

327
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,280
And interestingly, out of our long COVID patients,

328
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:46,400
several of them have ADHD, but they don't need their ADHD meds

329
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,680
anymore.

330
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,360
They can concentrate just fine after this treatment.

331
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,480
So an emerging area is ADHD.

332
00:16:54,480 --> 00:17:02,640
And can you imagine that from a health standpoint in America?

333
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,360
One out of six kids is on ADHD meds.

334
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:12,160
Every morning, mom has to give their kid a stimulant medication.

335
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,720
Nobody wants to do that.

336
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:16,600
You're right.

337
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,240
We could get rid of that.

338
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,560
So that's why I get excited about this.

339
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,000
The potential is huge for us to help a whole lot of people

340
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,760
get away from this Western medicine model of dumping

341
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,160
chemicals into people and do something that really

342
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,840
is working with the brain's own natural mechanisms,

343
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,640
clearing toxins, neuroplasticity.

344
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,040
Thank you for being here today.

345
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,520
I'm really happy that you tuned in to Vision Pros Live.

346
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,160
I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions

347
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,440
as these episodes continue to move forward.

348
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,120
This is going to get more and more fun.

349
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:52,000
We'll have more and more engagement as well.

350
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,080
We'll invite people to participate in the show.

351
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,440
And thank you for giving us your time and attention.

352
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,160
Have an excellent time building out your vision

353
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,320
and becoming a Vision Pro yourself.
