WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 Welcome to Where Science Meets Self -Care with 00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.559 Ida Fanelli. With over 30 years in beauty and 00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:09.080 wellness and a background in medical science, 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.960 Ida blends clinical knowledge with holistic care. 00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.199 Each week, she and her guests share insights 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:19.679 to help you achieve healthier skin, balanced 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:23.920 energy, and empowered self -care. Now, here's 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:33.030 your host, Ida Finelli. Most people turn to light 00:00:33.030 --> 00:00:36.049 therapy for cosmetic benefits, reducing wrinkles, 00:00:36.250 --> 00:00:39.270 boosting collagen, and achieving that youthful 00:00:39.270 --> 00:00:42.530 glow. While I fully support these incredible 00:00:42.530 --> 00:00:46.329 anti -aging effects, many are missing a more 00:00:46.329 --> 00:00:49.969 profound truth. If something is anti -aging, 00:00:50.130 --> 00:00:53.770 it accelerates cell regeneration. You can harness 00:00:53.770 --> 00:00:56.689 red light therapy's mechanism for powerful healing 00:00:56.689 --> 00:01:01.520 and injury recovery. Today I want to share some 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.980 first -hand experiences demonstrating the life 00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:07.680 -changing potential of red light therapy and 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.459 near -infrared light therapy. A biker's unexpected 00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:17.719 crash. It was a smoky day in June 2023. Due to 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.739 the strong winds, intense forest fires were in 00:01:21.739 --> 00:01:26.420 cities near our areas. My 65 -year -old husband 00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:29.180 still felt the need to bike ride in these circumstances. 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.900 He was riding fast and his eyes were irritated 00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:36.980 from the debris in the air. Before he knew it, 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.500 he hit a guardrail. He utterly skinned his left 00:01:41.500 --> 00:01:46.159 leg shin and surrounding calf. Leg injuries take 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.640 longer to heal because blood flow is furthest 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.319 from the heart. An individual's age and health 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.840 also impact how quickly they recover. Injuries 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.900 or surgeries occurring in the daytime heal better 00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:03.060 than at night because our circadian rhythm allows 00:02:03.060 --> 00:02:05.840 skin cells to patch up surgical incisions more 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.240 efficiently. He had this factor to his advantage 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.319 as well. I didn't take any pictures because writing 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.419 an article about it was not on my mind at the 00:02:16.419 --> 00:02:21.389 time. The size was at least 6 inches long and 00:02:21.389 --> 00:02:25.729 5 inches wide spreading into the calf area. He 00:02:25.729 --> 00:02:29.990 had a subdermal hematoma. The swelling and bruising 00:02:29.990 --> 00:02:35.169 were extreme. The front of his shin was as deep 00:02:35.169 --> 00:02:38.930 as the back calf and his ankle was very swollen 00:02:38.930 --> 00:02:43.289 from the incident. The injury was so significant 00:02:43.289 --> 00:02:45.949 that he had trouble standing on his feet for 00:02:45.949 --> 00:02:50.810 over an hour. There is a misconception that when 00:02:50.810 --> 00:02:53.949 you injure yourself, a scar will form. However, 00:02:54.169 --> 00:02:56.889 if you treat the injury properly when it's in 00:02:56.889 --> 00:02:59.569 the active stage of healing, deformed tissue 00:02:59.569 --> 00:03:03.530 will not develop. The power of red light therapy. 00:03:04.509 --> 00:03:08.090 My red light near -infrared LED light was instrumental 00:03:08.090 --> 00:03:12.870 in its healing. I used it on him every day. Each 00:03:12.870 --> 00:03:15.789 day, the scab came off after removing the dressings. 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.840 the open move shrank and fresh healthy skin formed 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.319 we used the red light treatments at night after 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.120 a shower the unit i have requires ten minutes 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.539 of youth space two feet away after four days 00:03:32.539 --> 00:03:35.620 he went to urgent care and the doctor examined 00:03:35.620 --> 00:03:39.139 and x -rayed him i was worried about an infection 00:03:39.139 --> 00:03:43.340 since it was such a large open wound They found 00:03:43.340 --> 00:03:45.819 no broken bones and said it was not infected 00:03:45.819 --> 00:03:50.340 even though it was constantly weeping. They gave 00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:53.180 him no antibiotics. They said it was healing 00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:56.759 well. They gave him sufficient supplies and told 00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:02.000 him to change the dressings. We continued with 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.479 the red light treatments and after a while he 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.860 began to do the treatments himself because he 00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:08.819 was delighted with their ease and effectiveness. 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:16.100 His skin was very irritated. He used a lotion 00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:19.279 I made of various healthy oils, butters, aloe 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:22.399 vera, and essential oils on the healed areas. 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.779 Therapeutic red light includes wavelengths between 00:04:27.779 --> 00:04:34.879 630 nanometers and 670 nanometers. Therapeutic 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.379 near infrared light includes wavelengths between 00:04:37.379 --> 00:04:43.149 700 and 900 nanometers. It works by stimulating 00:04:43.149 --> 00:04:45.889 fibroblasts, the building blocks of collagen, 00:04:46.050 --> 00:04:49.209 which promote tissue repair and increase circulation. 00:04:50.389 --> 00:04:53.329 Collagen, a crucial protein in connective tissue, 00:04:53.610 --> 00:04:57.670 provides skin with structure and strength. Red 00:04:57.670 --> 00:05:00.230 light therapy also prevents the formation of 00:05:00.230 --> 00:05:02.769 misaligned collagen fibers, which typically lead 00:05:02.769 --> 00:05:06.629 to scarring. Therapeutic near infrared light 00:05:06.629 --> 00:05:10.449 penetrates deeper into tissues and enhances healing. 00:05:11.370 --> 00:05:14.529 by reducing inflammation, improving circulation, 00:05:14.910 --> 00:05:19.050 and accelerating cellular repair. Many people 00:05:19.050 --> 00:05:21.910 do not understand that red light, which is visible 00:05:21.910 --> 00:05:25.930 light, does not contain UV rays. Ultraviolet 00:05:25.930 --> 00:05:29.449 light is on the opposite side of the light spectrum. 00:05:29.589 --> 00:05:32.550 It has wavelengths of 100 to 400 nanometers. 00:05:33.370 --> 00:05:37.209 Red light penetrates the skin and underlying 00:05:37.209 --> 00:05:42.220 tissues without causing any DNA damage. Addressing 00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:46.120 stubborn swelling and slow healing. After two 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.379 weeks, I started wrapping areas around the open 00:05:49.379 --> 00:05:53.540 wound castor oil packs to reduce stubborn swelling 00:05:53.540 --> 00:05:57.639 in the impact areas. The center of the injury 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.980 directly over the shin would not develop a scab. 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.540 The shin is hard to heal because the bone prevents 00:06:04.540 --> 00:06:10.019 sufficient blood flow. I applied castor oil, 00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:12.980 a lymphatic stimulant, on the swollen portion 00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:16.079 of the injury, which softened the rigidness and 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.759 enhanced the development of the scab. After 17 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.360 days, he stopped dressing the bandages and could 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:29.199 resume complete work. After four weeks, he began 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.399 running again. It takes some time for the lymphatic 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.750 system to reduce the swelling. Exercise in the 00:06:35.750 --> 00:06:38.509 body's natural healing processes will allow this 00:06:38.509 --> 00:06:42.050 to happen. The after picture shows him as having 00:06:42.050 --> 00:06:44.709 no typical scarring. It's a bit red because he 00:06:44.709 --> 00:06:47.709 stopped wearing bandages when the scab was small 00:06:47.709 --> 00:06:54.790 enough. And the sun discolored it. You can see 00:06:54.790 --> 00:06:57.850 a previous scab from years ago on the outer side 00:06:57.850 --> 00:06:59.930 of the leg before I knew about light therapy. 00:07:00.769 --> 00:07:03.589 Thankfully, I don't have a before picture. That 00:07:03.589 --> 00:07:07.550 was too grotesque to post. A few months later, 00:07:07.569 --> 00:07:10.009 he had one session with a massage therapist who 00:07:10.009 --> 00:07:12.410 treated and helped him with red light and ultrasound. 00:07:13.129 --> 00:07:17.370 The laser is much stronger than the LED. During 00:07:17.370 --> 00:07:19.649 the treatment, she helped him with some stiffness 00:07:19.649 --> 00:07:23.930 in his leg. I use the red light to help kitchen 00:07:23.930 --> 00:07:27.589 nicks and cuts. Bandages are sometimes not necessary. 00:07:29.129 --> 00:07:33.040 Red light therapy for skin conditions. and circulation 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:37.500 issues. Beyond injuries, I've personally benefited 00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:41.019 from red light therapy. I have low blood pressure, 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.379 which causes me to have poor circulation and 00:07:44.379 --> 00:07:47.959 cold hands and feet. Not a good thing to have 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:52.240 when you're an esthetician. For the past year, 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:54.959 I have been having an intermittent problem with 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:59.120 what my doctor diagnosed as eczema on my toes. 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.839 I attribute it to my feet having poor circulation 00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:07.699 since they are far away from the heart. And this 00:08:07.699 --> 00:08:10.439 winter's frigid temperatures and the fact that 00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:15.540 I'm getting older. People's feet get ugly when 00:08:15.540 --> 00:08:18.339 they get older. I see that a lot in my business. 00:08:19.540 --> 00:08:23.800 I tried the corticosteroid cream my doctor suggested 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:29.040 out of desperation. It didn't help me much. Then 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:34.600 I decided to try light therapy. The red near 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:39.700 -infrared light eliminated my issue and helped 00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:42.500 me keep my eczema at bay as long as I used it 00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:45.860 daily. I have a picture displayed of the before 00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:49.460 and after. Notice how the redness has disappeared. 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.620 The eye -opening research on red light and vision. 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.620 Recent studies suggest that red light therapy 00:08:58.620 --> 00:09:01.620 may support eye health by enhancing mitochondrial 00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:05.289 function in the retina. The retina contains more 00:09:05.289 --> 00:09:07.710 mitochondria than any other area in the body, 00:09:07.789 --> 00:09:11.070 making it highly responsive to specific wavelengths 00:09:11.070 --> 00:09:15.809 of red light, typically around 670 nanometers. 00:09:16.970 --> 00:09:19.950 Research has focused on the cones responsible 00:09:19.950 --> 00:09:23.809 for color vision rather than the rods, which 00:09:23.809 --> 00:09:28.570 assist in low light vision. A study published 00:09:28.570 --> 00:09:33.080 in the journals of Gerontology 2020 found that 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.320 a brief exposure to deep red light improved color 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:42.379 vision in participants over 40 by increasing 00:09:42.379 --> 00:09:46.460 mitochondrial activity in the retina. Other research 00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:50.240 supports the potential for red light therapy 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.879 to slow age -related decline to vision. However, 00:09:55.100 --> 00:09:59.159 it is essential to use a device with 600 nanometers 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:03.629 designed explicitly for eye health. Not all red 00:10:03.629 --> 00:10:07.529 light sources are safe for the eyes and improper 00:10:07.529 --> 00:10:12.289 exposure could be harmful. Look for products 00:10:12.289 --> 00:10:15.029 that have been clinically tested and verified 00:10:15.029 --> 00:10:21.210 for ocular safety. In July 2021, sand fleas attacked 00:10:21.210 --> 00:10:25.330 me and the constant itching on my lower legs 00:10:25.330 --> 00:10:29.009 and arms prevented me from resting. The next 00:10:29.009 --> 00:10:31.960 day, the sand fleas bites had developed a red 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:36.720 halo, I was worried about cellulitis. A couple 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:40.960 of days later, there was swelling, and the skin 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:45.379 became rough on the areas where they bit. It 00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:49.419 felt scorched. A week later, I went to the doctor. 00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:54.059 He prescribed an antibiotic for me. I returned 00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:57.559 a few days later to see the blood testing results. 00:10:58.220 --> 00:11:00.460 and he ensured that I had an allergic reaction 00:11:00.460 --> 00:11:05.240 and recommended that I take prednisone. Sand 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:08.240 fleas have an enzyme in their saliva that causes 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.440 an allergic reaction and promotes our body to 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:16.100 produce histamine to combat it. Antihistamines 00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:19.379 are also options for sand flea bites. I avoid 00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:21.759 these types of things because of their side effects. 00:11:22.179 --> 00:11:25.600 The pain had decreased, so I never used prednisone. 00:11:26.409 --> 00:11:29.250 I'll explain more about prednisone later in this 00:11:29.250 --> 00:11:33.149 video. One function of the skin is to release 00:11:33.149 --> 00:11:37.590 toxins. That itchy feeling you're getting in 00:11:37.590 --> 00:11:41.169 the body is trying to eliminate toxins from the 00:11:41.169 --> 00:11:44.590 cells. So my symptoms subsided after a while 00:11:44.590 --> 00:11:48.129 because my body was doing its job. I did try 00:11:48.129 --> 00:11:50.750 some natural remedies, but unfortunately that 00:11:50.750 --> 00:11:55.039 didn't help. I received my RedNear for a light 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.720 approximately 10 days after the start of my allergic 00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.720 reaction. It helped eliminate the itchiness immediately 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:06.360 after one use because it hastened the cells rebuilding 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:10.440 themselves and reducing inflammation. I continue 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.159 to use it to speed up the healing of the sand 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.700 flea bites. I don't have any scars from the incident 00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:20.509 now because I exfoliated regularly and used the 00:12:20.509 --> 00:12:24.129 red light to speed up the healing. Full disclosure, 00:12:24.509 --> 00:12:27.929 I had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic years 00:12:27.929 --> 00:12:33.929 later and the red light did not help it. And 00:12:33.929 --> 00:12:36.909 now we'll take time for a commercial. Welcome 00:12:36.909 --> 00:12:41.649 back. Hair growth or hair loss, how red light 00:12:41.649 --> 00:12:48.230 affects both. The design and intent of a device 00:12:48.230 --> 00:12:50.830 plays a crucial role in determining whether red 00:12:50.830 --> 00:12:53.250 light stimulates hair growth or reduces hair. 00:12:53.769 --> 00:12:56.269 This is why it's essential to understand how 00:12:56.269 --> 00:13:00.970 different technologies work. Hair reduction versus 00:13:00.970 --> 00:13:06.769 hair growth. Hair reduction. Intense pulse light, 00:13:06.990 --> 00:13:10.129 which is what I do, devices use red light to 00:13:10.129 --> 00:13:13.149 target hair follicles and reduce growth over 00:13:13.149 --> 00:13:17.360 time. This method is commonly used for long -term 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:26.179 hair reduction and removal. Hair growth. Red 00:13:26.179 --> 00:13:31.259 light therapy, LLLT, works differently. It stimulates 00:13:31.259 --> 00:13:33.940 blood circulation in the scalp and reawakens 00:13:33.940 --> 00:13:36.779 dormant hair follicles, promoting hair regrowth. 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.419 Many FDA approved laser caps and combs use this 00:13:41.419 --> 00:13:44.259 technology to combat thinning hair and hair loss. 00:13:45.259 --> 00:13:48.139 Understanding the differences between IPL and 00:13:48.139 --> 00:13:51.620 LLLT can help you choose the right device based 00:13:51.620 --> 00:13:55.019 on your hair goals. If you want to reduce hair, 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:58.460 IPL is the way to go. Red laser light therapy 00:13:58.460 --> 00:14:01.159 is your best bet if you're aiming to regrow hair. 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:05.299 I'll share some recommended products in the descriptions 00:14:05.299 --> 00:14:10.919 below. Oral care with red light. Years ago, I 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.500 had a bit of gingivitis in the upper right side 00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:17.059 of my gums. I thought about how red LED light 00:14:17.059 --> 00:14:20.240 helps rebuild skin and how NRI light is beneficial 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:25.940 for muscle, tendons, and bones. With my mouth 00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:29.019 open, I tried to use a more considerable red 00:14:29.019 --> 00:14:31.740 light on my facial area. It didn't work very 00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:35.679 well. I needed to use something inside my mouth. 00:14:36.490 --> 00:14:39.750 I searched the internet and found that light 00:14:39.750 --> 00:14:43.889 therapy devices exist for dental care. I purchased 00:14:43.889 --> 00:14:46.610 and used the device every day for two to three 00:14:46.610 --> 00:14:51.690 weeks. It cured my gingivitis. My husband had 00:14:51.690 --> 00:14:54.230 the same problem. He waited six months before 00:14:54.230 --> 00:14:58.389 ordering his. It healed his gingivitis as well. 00:14:58.830 --> 00:15:02.629 Our gums are pink and healthy. Most people use 00:15:02.629 --> 00:15:05.700 these devices to whiten their teeth. I used it 00:15:05.700 --> 00:15:09.120 to help heal my gingivitis. I've also read that 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.659 some dentists use red laser light to speed up 00:15:11.659 --> 00:15:15.139 teeth movement when necessary. It decreases the 00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:18.559 length of time braces are required. Professional 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.840 oral devices exist to help with teeth whitening 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:25.440 and cavity prevention. Red light therapy for 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:29.429 pets, healing and pain relief. Many veterinarians 00:15:29.429 --> 00:15:32.950 and pet owners use red light LED panels, low 00:15:32.950 --> 00:15:37.269 -level laser therapy, LLLT, or near -infrared 00:15:37.269 --> 00:15:41.990 NIR light. This non -invasive treatment can help 00:15:41.990 --> 00:15:45.669 speed up or support the healing and reduce inflammation 00:15:45.669 --> 00:15:50.309 and improve overall wellness in dogs, cats, and 00:15:50.309 --> 00:15:54.509 horses, and even smaller animals. Wound healing 00:15:54.509 --> 00:15:58.370 and injury recovery. It stimulates cell regeneration, 00:15:58.610 --> 00:16:01.509 helping cuts, bruises and post-surgical wounds 00:16:01.509 --> 00:16:05.250 heal faster. Joint pain and arthritis relief. 00:16:05.649 --> 00:16:08.830 Reduces inflammation and improves mobility in 00:16:08.830 --> 00:16:12.470 pets with arthritis, hip dysplasia or joint discomfort. 00:16:13.149 --> 00:16:17.440 Muscle recovery. Circulation. Increases blood 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:21.039 flow, promoting faster muscle healing after exercise 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.840 or injury. Skin conditions, infections and allergies. 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:29.120 It helps with hot spots, dermatitis, ear infections 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:32.860 or other skin irritations by reducing redness 00:16:32.860 --> 00:16:37.100 and promoting repair. Nerve and spinal issues 00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:41.509 assist in conditions like inter... vertebral 00:16:41.509 --> 00:16:46.730 disc disease in dogs by supporting nerve regeneration. 00:16:47.629 --> 00:16:51.389 I recommend using a device that fits your dog's 00:16:51.389 --> 00:16:53.950 size, otherwise it might not be his favorite 00:16:53.950 --> 00:16:57.990 thing to do. I also recommend following the manufacturer's 00:16:57.990 --> 00:17:02.029 instructions. Support cancer patients with red 00:17:02.029 --> 00:17:05.759 light therapy. I recently obtained a client who 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:09.299 was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. A friend 00:17:09.299 --> 00:17:11.480 had referred her because she was afraid to go 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.680 to a busy salon with her condition. They had 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.140 given her prednisone as part of her treatment. 00:17:18.059 --> 00:17:20.960 Prednisone, as we know, is a corticosteroid, 00:17:21.099 --> 00:17:24.880 which decreases the immune system. Yes, that's 00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:27.500 how they do it. By reducing the immune system, 00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:31.490 they decrease cancer's growth. Another side effect 00:17:31.490 --> 00:17:34.630 of corticosteroids is that they thin the skin 00:17:34.630 --> 00:17:38.710 and decrease inflammation. Her skin was bruising 00:17:38.710 --> 00:17:43.410 easily and healing slowly. Prednisone also replaces 00:17:43.410 --> 00:17:48.190 cortisol. The short -term uses of prednisone 00:17:48.190 --> 00:17:52.970 causes reversible skin atrophy. Long -term use 00:17:52.970 --> 00:17:56.410 results in stretch marks, which cause permanent 00:17:56.410 --> 00:18:01.509 damage to the skin. On top of that, her chemotherapy 00:18:01.509 --> 00:18:04.490 worked by blocking the cancer's growth factors. 00:18:04.730 --> 00:18:08.269 The human body makes many chemical growth factors 00:18:08.269 --> 00:18:12.289 that control cell growth. Cancer therapy slows 00:18:12.289 --> 00:18:15.789 down the growth of fast-growing cells. It damages 00:18:15.789 --> 00:18:19.750 fingernails, toenails, skin and hair. During 00:18:19.750 --> 00:18:24.619 our session, I used a red light on her. The next 00:18:24.619 --> 00:18:27.019 time I saw her, she confirmed that the red light 00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:30.299 had helped her skin improve and that a naturopath 00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:32.640 had also told her that she could use red light. 00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:40.059 This led me to investigate the issue further, 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.420 which opened up a new window of information for 00:18:43.420 --> 00:18:46.609 me to share with you. My knowledge of the chemistry 00:18:46.609 --> 00:18:49.750 of our bodies, interest in energy work, and experience 00:18:49.750 --> 00:18:53.250 with IPL made it easy for me to understand this 00:18:53.250 --> 00:18:57.309 concept. I hope you can too. The science behind 00:18:57.309 --> 00:19:02.029 red light's biofield influence. Our body's chemistry 00:19:02.029 --> 00:19:05.269 is made of mainly positive and negatively charged 00:19:05.269 --> 00:19:08.609 ions, constantly converting to different forms. 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.319 For instance, a nerve impulse requires consistent 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.240 movement of electrolytes in and out of the cell 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:19.799 to take place properly. Quantum physics explains 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.559 that interactions between elements generate an 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.220 electromagnetic field around the human body. 00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:31.700 The nervous system and the mitochondria are mainly 00:19:31.700 --> 00:19:36.000 responsible for this electrical activity, creating 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.150 an energy field where responsible for cellular 00:19:39.150 --> 00:19:43.089 communication, regeneration, and overall health. 00:19:43.589 --> 00:19:49.390 Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. Photons 00:19:49.390 --> 00:19:52.950 are particles of light's wavelength. Lights act 00:19:52.950 --> 00:19:57.170 as a wave or a particle and travel in waves that 00:19:57.170 --> 00:20:00.589 interact with biological tissues at a quantum 00:20:00.589 --> 00:20:04.140 level. The medical profession is now looking 00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:06.799 at the physics side of things. This biofield, 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:10.819 influenced by cellular electrical activity, is 00:20:10.819 --> 00:20:15.400 vital for overall health and healing. LED and 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.140 low-level light therapy, LLLT, help restore 00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:23.240 balance to the body's natural energy fields, 00:20:23.539 --> 00:20:28.240 enhancing healing and immune response. I'll explain 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:31.119 this concept further after we take time for a 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:38.019 commercial. Welcome back. Quantum physics and 00:20:38.019 --> 00:20:41.160 the role of energy in healing. The human body 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.700 operates at the quantum level, where electromagnetic 00:20:44.700 --> 00:20:48.119 fields, wavelengths, and energy frequencies dictate 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.210 biological processes. The human body is fundamentally 00:20:52.210 --> 00:20:55.089 composed of energy with biological functions 00:20:55.089 --> 00:20:58.089 occurring at the quantum level. Quantum physics 00:20:58.089 --> 00:21:01.329 suggests that all matter, including human cells, 00:21:01.490 --> 00:21:04.170 vibrate at specific frequencies, influencing 00:21:04.170 --> 00:21:07.450 communication between molecules, proteins, and 00:21:07.450 --> 00:21:11.029 enzymes. This understanding supports the idea 00:21:11.029 --> 00:21:15.309 that LED and LLLT influences these bioenergetic 00:21:15.309 --> 00:21:19.490 frequencies. promoting healing, cellular function, 00:21:19.630 --> 00:21:23.789 and immune responses. The human body is receptive 00:21:23.789 --> 00:21:29.069 to all light. Still, because it emits NIR light 00:21:29.069 --> 00:21:32.490 in its electromagnetic field, it's very receptive 00:21:32.490 --> 00:21:37.269 to invisible near infrared light, which is a 00:21:37.269 --> 00:21:40.309 therapeutic light which can penetrate deep into 00:21:40.309 --> 00:21:45.529 the tissues, deeper than visible red light. Near 00:21:45.529 --> 00:21:49.869 infrared, and red light therapy work by interacting 00:21:49.869 --> 00:21:53.750 with this bioelectric magnetic field, restoring 00:21:53.750 --> 00:21:57.569 energy balance at a cellular level. The process 00:21:57.569 --> 00:22:01.049 of photobiomodulation, PBM, allows the power 00:22:01.049 --> 00:22:04.369 generators of your cells called mitochondria, 00:22:04.430 --> 00:22:08.029 which are the most critical generators of cellular 00:22:08.029 --> 00:22:12.269 energy, to enhance the mitochondrial respiration 00:22:12.269 --> 00:22:15.269 when it absorbs red and near-infrared light. 00:22:15.819 --> 00:22:19.240 which allows it to increase the adenosine triphosphate, 00:22:19.299 --> 00:22:24.319 aka ATP, energy production from the mitochondria. 00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:27.940 This reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, 00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:32.240 promotes healing, optimizes energy production, 00:22:32.579 --> 00:22:35.940 reduces pain, and enhances the immune system's 00:22:35.940 --> 00:22:40.119 ability to combat abnormal cell growth and antibiotic 00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:44.779 resistance. Some medical community members are 00:22:44.779 --> 00:22:47.740 switching from chemical -based treatments to 00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:51.859 physics -based treatments, including and or switching 00:22:51.859 --> 00:22:55.559 to red light therapy for cancer patients. It 00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:58.759 improves wound healing from chemotherapy and 00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:02.319 radiation, which attacks normal cell growth to 00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.599 decrease cancerous growth. Surgical procedures 00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:09.019 and radiation therapy often lead to slow healing 00:23:09.019 --> 00:23:13.359 wounds. Cancer -related pain can result from 00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:16.759 inflammation, nerve damage, or tumor pressure. 00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:21.779 RLT releases nitric oxide, which expands the 00:23:21.779 --> 00:23:25.579 blood vessels, relieves and addresses pain, and 00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:29.259 stimulates endorphins. Fatigue is one of the 00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:33.259 most debilitating symptoms cancer patients experience. 00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:40.299 RLT helps increase energy levels and reduce exhaustion 00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:44.059 and muscle weakness by boosting mitochondrial 00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:50.119 function and ATP production. Sleep disturbances 00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:54.420 are common in cancer patients due to pain, anxiety, 00:23:54.720 --> 00:24:01.980 and medication side effects. RLT improves circadian 00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:05.259 rhythm regulation, reduces stress, and promotes 00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:10.680 relaxation. Lymphedema is when the lymphatic vessels 00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:14.160 are damaged and a particular area becomes swollen 00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:19.119 or develops edema. Red light therapy stimulates 00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:24.519 lymphangiogenesis. The process of forming new 00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:27.299 lymphatic vessels, which is crucial for fluid 00:24:27.299 --> 00:24:32.500 balance and immune function. RLT increases lymphatic 00:24:32.500 --> 00:24:36.339 flow, reducing swelling and fluid accumulation 00:24:36.339 --> 00:24:41.799 in cancer patients experiencing lymphedema, especially 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:46.109 breast cancer patients. And here's how light 00:24:46.109 --> 00:24:49.690 manages the side effects of traditional cancer 00:24:49.690 --> 00:24:54.809 treatments for oral mucositis. Red light therapy 00:24:54.809 --> 00:24:58.269 treats oral mucositis, a painful inflammatory 00:24:58.269 --> 00:25:01.769 condition that causes severe mouth sores in patients 00:25:01.769 --> 00:25:06.559 undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. Studies 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:11.079 have shown that LLLT speedily reduces pain and 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.220 inflammation in mucosal tissues enhancing tissue 00:25:15.220 --> 00:25:19.259 repair and making it easier for patients to eat 00:25:19.259 --> 00:25:22.460 drink and speak comfortably. The American Society 00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:29.119 of Clinical Oncology ASCO Has recognized LLLT 00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:33.160 as a standard supportive care treatment for oral 00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:38.480 mucositis in cancer patients. Enhancing skin 00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:42.480 health and wound healing. Beyond cancer treatments, 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:45.660 red and near -infrared light therapy are widely 00:25:45.660 --> 00:25:48.680 used for skin and health regeneration, which 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:51.279 is particularly beneficial for cancer patients 00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:55.240 recovering from surgery, radiation, or photodynamic 00:25:55.240 --> 00:26:01.660 therapy. PDT, cancer patients with acne, acne 00:26:01.660 --> 00:26:05.680 scars, eczema, and psoriasis, their conditions 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:08.940 worsen after cancer treatment. And red light 00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:13.539 therapy improves these conditions. LLLT helps 00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:18.140 to minimize sun -induced skin damage and radiation 00:26:18.140 --> 00:26:22.759 burns. Patients recovering from skin cancer surgeries 00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.980 experience faster wound healing and reduced scarring 00:26:26.980 --> 00:26:32.539 with LLLT. Red light therapy is safe for people 00:26:32.539 --> 00:26:36.160 with diabetes, allowing them to avoid amputations. 00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:39.960 Surgery incisions, wounds, and third -degree 00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:43.400 burn patients benefited from improved healing. 00:26:43.950 --> 00:26:46.730 Patients with previous scars found that their 00:26:46.730 --> 00:26:50.869 healed wounds became more tender with repeated 00:26:50.869 --> 00:26:55.130 use. These patients experienced much less pain 00:26:55.130 --> 00:26:58.250 and avoided the side effects of prescription 00:26:58.250 --> 00:27:02.869 medication and invasive procedures. Red light 00:27:02.869 --> 00:27:07.630 therapy, also known as low -level laser therapy, 00:27:08.430 --> 00:27:11.210 is a safe non -invasive treatment that combines 00:27:11.210 --> 00:27:14.210 specific wavelengths of red light and near infrared 00:27:14.210 --> 00:27:17.529 light to stimulate cellular function, promote 00:27:17.529 --> 00:27:20.990 tissue repair and modulate the immune system 00:27:20.990 --> 00:27:25.549 research suggests that llt may serve as a complementary 00:27:25.549 --> 00:27:29.470 therapy for skin cancer, improving treatments 00:27:29.470 --> 00:27:32.410 outcome,s alleviating side effects and enhancing 00:27:32.410 --> 00:27:36.309 skin health We'll explore this concept further 00:27:36.309 --> 00:27:43.230 after we take time for a commercial. Welcome 00:27:43.230 --> 00:27:47.529 back. Applications of photodynamic red light 00:27:47.529 --> 00:27:51.849 therapy, LLLT, in cancer care. A supportive treatment 00:27:51.849 --> 00:27:56.089 for chemotherapy and skin cancer. Near infrared. 00:27:56.890 --> 00:28:00.329 RLT photoimmunotherapy is a promising experimental 00:28:00.329 --> 00:28:03.910 cancer treatment that uses an antibody photoabsorber 00:28:03.910 --> 00:28:07.849 conjugate to target cancer cells. When near infrared 00:28:07.849 --> 00:28:10.730 light is applied, the skin cancer cells swell 00:28:10.730 --> 00:28:15.829 and burst, destroying them. Clinical trials are 00:28:15.829 --> 00:28:18.309 currently testing this for inoperable tumors. 00:28:19.230 --> 00:28:23.069 RLT enhances the effectiveness of photosensitizing 00:28:23.069 --> 00:28:27.319 agents that kill abnormal cancer cells upon light 00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:33.099 activation this process limits damage to surrounding 00:28:33.099 --> 00:28:36.759 healthy tissues and minimizes scarring research 00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:39.720 suggests that red light may serve as a complementary 00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:43.859 therapy for melanoma by inhibiting tumor growth 00:28:43.859 --> 00:28:48.700 and enhancing anti -tumor immune activity pbm 00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:51.880 does not damage tissues with heat because it 00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:56.160 is non -thermal but instead Modifies cellular 00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:01.579 activity. Triggering apoptosis. Programs cell 00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:05.299 death. Processing cancer cells while leaving 00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:10.079 healthy cells unaffected. Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy, 00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:13.900 which incorporates antibody photoabsorber drugs 00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:17.799 to reduce cancer cells, shows positive results 00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:20.799 in clinical trials for patients with inoperable 00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:25.000 tumors. The FDA has approved photodynamic therapy 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:28.240 for various cancers when combined with light 00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:32.700 -sensitive drug photosensitizers with specific 00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:35.640 wavelengths of light to destroy cancer cells. 00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:39.140 The skin cancer it approves treatment for are 00:29:39.140 --> 00:29:46.880 actinic keratosis, basal cell skin cancer, squamous 00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:53.549 cell skin cancer stage 0. Photodynamic therapy 00:29:53.549 --> 00:29:56.990 also relieves symptoms of some cancers such as 00:29:56.990 --> 00:30:01.910 advanced cutaneous T -cell lymphoma, CTCL, which 00:30:01.910 --> 00:30:04.750 spreads beyond the skin and can cause painful 00:30:04.750 --> 00:30:10.450 ulcerated tumors and thickened skin plaque. Barrett's 00:30:10.450 --> 00:30:14.170 esophagus occurs when the lining of the esophagus 00:30:14.170 --> 00:30:16.849 heals abnormally and changes from skin cells 00:30:16.849 --> 00:30:21.849 to cells that look like intestinal cells. esophageal 00:30:21.849 --> 00:30:25.549 cancer when it blocks the throat and small cell 00:30:25.549 --> 00:30:29.609 lung cancer when it blocks the airways, when combined 00:30:29.609 --> 00:30:36.049 with a light-sensitive medicine. Photodynamic 00:30:36.049 --> 00:30:40.009 therapy generates oxygen radicals that kill tumor 00:30:40.009 --> 00:30:44.369 cells. It also damages tumor associated blood 00:30:44.369 --> 00:30:47.819 vessels. by cutting off their nutrient supply 00:30:47.819 --> 00:30:51.799 and activating the immune system to attack remaining 00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:55.940 cancer cells. It's also helpful for peripheral 00:30:55.940 --> 00:31:01.819 neuropathy caused by radiation. Red light therapy 00:31:01.819 --> 00:31:05.099 cannot penetrate deeply into large tumors, limiting 00:31:05.099 --> 00:31:09.500 its effectiveness for internal cancers. Some 00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:12.869 potential side effects include temporary redness, 00:31:13.109 --> 00:31:18.329 swelling, and irritation at the site. Photosensitizers 00:31:18.329 --> 00:31:21.589 used in photodynamic therapy can make skin and 00:31:21.589 --> 00:31:24.349 eyes sensitive to light for weeks after treatment, 00:31:24.569 --> 00:31:32.430 requiring precautions against sun exposure. Ongoing 00:31:32.430 --> 00:31:35.269 research and clinical trials explore the full 00:31:35.269 --> 00:31:39.930 potential of LLLT in oncology. paving the way 00:31:39.930 --> 00:31:43.029 for next-generation energy-based cancer treatments 00:31:43.029 --> 00:31:46.089 that work in harmony with the body's natural 00:31:46.089 --> 00:31:49.630 healing processes to improve cancer patients 00:31:49.630 --> 00:31:54.269 life quality undergoing treatment final thoughts 00:31:54.269 --> 00:31:58.309 a non -invasive energy -based approach to healing 00:31:59.069 --> 00:32:02.069 While red light therapy is not a standalone treatment 00:32:02.069 --> 00:32:05.650 for skin cancer, scientific evidence supports 00:32:05.650 --> 00:32:09.250 it used to enhance the effectiveness of primary 00:32:09.250 --> 00:32:12.970 treatment by leveraging the principles of electromagnetic 00:32:12.970 --> 00:32:18.029 energy and quantum biology. LLT offers a non 00:32:18.029 --> 00:32:21.670 -toxic, non-invasive method to inhibit tumor 00:32:21.670 --> 00:32:25.690 growth and support immune function, reduce cancer 00:32:25.690 --> 00:32:29.220 -related inflammation and pain, support skin 00:32:29.220 --> 00:32:33.460 regeneration and wound healing. Red light therapy 00:32:33.460 --> 00:32:36.980 also known as LED or low-level light therapy 00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:40.339 is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific 00:32:40.339 --> 00:32:43.640 wavelengths of red and near infrared light to 00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:47.299 stimulate cellular function, enhance tissue repair 00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:50.240 and support the body's natural healing processes. 00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:54.700 Red light therapy offers a promising non -invasive 00:32:54.700 --> 00:32:58.089 approach to helping cancer patients. undergoing 00:32:58.089 --> 00:33:01.690 chemotherapy, radiation, and surgical treatments. 00:33:01.789 --> 00:33:05.089 By promoting wound healing, reducing pain and 00:33:05.089 --> 00:33:09.029 inflammation, managing oral mucositis, and supporting 00:33:09.029 --> 00:33:13.250 immune function, RLT enhances overall well -being 00:33:13.250 --> 00:33:18.029 and quality of life. RLT integrates well with 00:33:18.029 --> 00:33:21.029 traditional chemotherapy, radiation, holistic 00:33:21.029 --> 00:33:23.990 cancer care, eye health, and general overall 00:33:23.990 --> 00:33:28.609 issues caused by poor circulation. as seen with 00:33:28.609 --> 00:33:32.970 diabetics. As advancement in research continues 00:33:32.970 --> 00:33:36.430 to produce positive results, RLT may play an 00:33:36.430 --> 00:33:39.490 increasingly significant role in the future of 00:33:39.490 --> 00:33:42.269 diabetic wound healing, cancer treatment, and 00:33:42.269 --> 00:33:46.549 supportive care. For full disclosure, here's 00:33:46.549 --> 00:33:59.049 the red light I used. It has a fan on it. It's 00:33:59.049 --> 00:34:08.610 very powerful. In hindsight, I'd like to share 00:34:08.610 --> 00:34:12.730 another story. I recommended red light therapy 00:34:12.730 --> 00:34:15.469 to a friend who severed some fingers with an 00:34:15.469 --> 00:34:19.269 electrical tool. They didn't use it until six 00:34:19.269 --> 00:34:22.710 or seven months after the injury. They purchased 00:34:22.710 --> 00:34:25.090 a cheaper one that didn't cover as much surface 00:34:25.090 --> 00:34:28.530 area. They used it regularly and received pain 00:34:28.530 --> 00:34:32.329 relief benefits. A nurse who works with accident 00:34:32.329 --> 00:34:34.789 patients informed me the pain never goes away. 00:34:35.849 --> 00:34:39.610 They were using it to help reattach a finger 00:34:39.610 --> 00:34:43.610 bone. He had three operations and gave up using 00:34:43.610 --> 00:34:47.769 it. The bone didn't reattach. I only wonder if 00:34:47.769 --> 00:34:50.269 he had used a better quality device if he would 00:34:50.269 --> 00:34:55.719 have. reattach the bone. We'll never know. How 00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:58.079 to get started with red and near infrared light 00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:01.619 therapy. Choosing the right device is crucial 00:35:01.619 --> 00:35:04.099 if you're looking to integrate red and near infrared 00:35:04.099 --> 00:35:07.880 light therapy into your routine. Many people 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.800 invest in light therapy just for their face, 00:35:11.039 --> 00:35:14.500 but that's a waste of money. Instead, opt for 00:35:14.500 --> 00:35:17.440 a versatile device that you can use across your 00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:22.969 entire body for maximum results. Choosing the 00:35:22.969 --> 00:35:25.849 right device when selecting a red near -infrared 00:35:25.849 --> 00:35:29.670 light therapy device. Considering the following 00:35:29.670 --> 00:35:32.510 key factors. Some of these can be used for pets. 00:35:33.949 --> 00:35:37.789 Full body usability. Avoid limiting yourself 00:35:37.789 --> 00:35:42.389 to a face mask. A larger panel or handheld device 00:35:42.389 --> 00:35:45.789 offers better value and more comprehensive benefits. 00:35:46.889 --> 00:35:49.989 Heat and cooling features. Some red near -infrared 00:35:49.989 --> 00:35:52.909 light devices generate significant heat and may 00:35:52.909 --> 00:35:57.170 require built -in fans. More heat often means 00:35:57.170 --> 00:36:00.530 greater intensity and better results, but it 00:36:00.530 --> 00:36:05.590 requires proper handling. For example, the Rubilux 00:36:05.590 --> 00:36:09.429 NRM light is an affordable bulb -shaped option 00:36:09.429 --> 00:36:12.849 that produces notable heat. Keep it at a distance 00:36:12.849 --> 00:36:15.750 since it doesn't have a fan to prevent overheating. 00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:19.000 Its red light option doesn't have that worry. 00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:22.519 It's only the near infrared light. This is the 00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:30.260 device I use for my teeth. Eye protection. Always 00:36:30.260 --> 00:36:32.940 wear protective goggles to block out light unless 00:36:32.940 --> 00:36:35.659 the device is specifically designed for eye treatments. 00:36:36.369 --> 00:36:40.369 Skin tone considerations. Not all skin tones 00:36:40.369 --> 00:36:43.389 can safely use red light therapy. Since red light 00:36:43.389 --> 00:36:46.530 penetrates the deepest of all colors, it may 00:36:46.530 --> 00:36:52.429 cause pigmentation issues. Hi, I just thought 00:36:52.429 --> 00:36:54.610 I'd like to give you some tips and tricks on 00:36:54.610 --> 00:36:57.050 how to incorporate red light into your day if 00:36:57.050 --> 00:37:00.829 time is an issue. You can utilize most of these 00:37:00.829 --> 00:37:03.590 things in combination with whatever else you're 00:37:03.590 --> 00:37:07.329 doing in the day. This is the one that I've had 00:37:07.329 --> 00:37:09.849 the longest and it is the strongest because the 00:37:09.849 --> 00:37:12.809 company recommends that it be kept two feet away 00:37:12.809 --> 00:37:17.710 from me. It has 30 NIR bulbs and 30 red light 00:37:17.710 --> 00:37:20.829 bulbs, which I can use independently or together. 00:37:21.250 --> 00:37:26.159 And it does have a fan to keep it cool. So, you 00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:29.159 know, I could place this under a table. And then 00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:31.340 this is another one that I have that is quite 00:37:31.340 --> 00:37:35.000 versatile. They give you a stand, and they also 00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:39.480 give you straps that you can harness in the slots 00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:41.699 at the bottom so you can actually tie it around 00:37:41.699 --> 00:37:45.599 different areas of your body. So the closer that 00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:48.739 you can put a red light to your body means that 00:37:48.739 --> 00:37:51.460 it's not as strong. That's why it has to be close 00:37:51.460 --> 00:37:56.340 to the body, right? this one has an adjustable 00:37:56.340 --> 00:38:00.559 option with seven different colors and you know 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:06.639 you put it on bare skin and um all the lights 00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:08.920 you put on bare skin because it won't they won't 00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:14.099 go through the cloth and you know this one is 00:38:14.099 --> 00:38:17.119 a nice one too because i use this one just before 00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:18.980 i go to sleep you know i just put it underneath 00:38:18.980 --> 00:38:22.239 the blankets and you know, you don't need to 00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:24.400 wear the glosses, and especially if it's further 00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:27.079 away from the body, it's not an issue, and I 00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:30.300 find it helps me to relax because they say red 00:38:30.300 --> 00:38:33.719 light is good to use before you go to sleep because, 00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:39.239 you know, it helps your circadian rhythm. And 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:42.440 this is another one that I have. Both these two 00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:45.960 have timers, and sometimes what I do is I just 00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:48.559 keep this underneath the computer, and I just 00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:54.079 slide the... I slide the keyboard out and I don't 00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:55.980 need to wear glasses. I can still do computer 00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:58.139 work at the same time when I have the light therapy 00:38:58.139 --> 00:39:02.260 on. And as I said, you know, using a blanket 00:39:02.260 --> 00:39:06.039 to cover, you know, I use the blanket to cover 00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:08.159 this stuff if I want to watch TV or something 00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:12.659 like that. And these are the glasses that I have. 00:39:13.710 --> 00:39:15.929 One company gave me these. I don't really know 00:39:15.929 --> 00:39:18.369 why they gave me these glasses because the light 00:39:18.369 --> 00:39:20.730 comes in on the outside. I don't really like 00:39:20.730 --> 00:39:23.309 these and I don't use them very much. And these 00:39:23.309 --> 00:39:28.469 are the Ruby Luxe glasses. They say that these 00:39:28.469 --> 00:39:32.590 prevent all light, but they still allow you to 00:39:32.590 --> 00:39:34.889 view things when you're using them, which is, 00:39:34.929 --> 00:39:37.909 you know, so if you do want to watch TV or something 00:39:37.909 --> 00:39:39.889 like that when you're using them, you still can. 00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:43.400 And these ones block all the light, which are 00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:48.719 my most preferred ones. So there you go. These 00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:51.699 are different ways you can incorporate them into 00:39:51.699 --> 00:39:56.780 your day. Check compatibility before purchasing. 00:39:57.860 --> 00:40:01.909 Staying updated on the latest technology. Light 00:40:01.909 --> 00:40:04.730 therapy technology is constantly evolving with 00:40:04.730 --> 00:40:07.289 new advancements in proving effectiveness and 00:40:07.289 --> 00:40:10.949 safety. If a product truly benefits the skin, 00:40:10.969 --> 00:40:13.429 it should enhance the appearance and accelerate 00:40:13.429 --> 00:40:17.210 healing and overall wellness. Let's shift the 00:40:17.210 --> 00:40:20.469 conversation. Light therapy is more than skin 00:40:20.469 --> 00:40:25.050 deep. I hope you found this guide helpful. Thank 00:40:25.050 --> 00:40:30.699 you for viewing. Illumicel, a company based in 00:40:30.699 --> 00:40:33.599 Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, has demonstrated ex 00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:36.880 vivo that its LED red light therapy can deliver 00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:40.219 light energy much more profoundly than typical. 00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:43.800 These devices help with skin cancer.
