Infra Red LED Light- According to NASA wound healing studies, Infra-Red LED light therapy increases mitochondrial activity 600%. There are also reports that claim that infra-red light has reduced Brain Cancer tumors, especially Glioma (Ted Kennedy’s cancer by 50%. There is a prototype Infrared Helmut designed to treat brain cancer and alzheimer’s. It may be that Infra-red Led light breaks down the amyloid plaque in the body through the increase in mitochondrial activity. Essentially LED light is adding energy back into the cells free of charge without the harmful effects of the sun associated with the ultra-violet spectrum.
Studies are nice, but I like hands on experience since I like to see the results firsthand. There are infrared devices on the market designed for skincare to reduce wrinkles, improve skin tone and promote collagen growth. All of these Infrared laser light or LED machines are way over-priced; they sell from $300 on the low end to $3000 on the high end for the Infrared lasers.
There has been a lot of interest and money in low laser light therapy (LLLT) for healing, but there is no reason to believe that the coherent light from a laser is any better than LEDs, sunlight, or halogen lights. Laser light does not penetrate more deeply and cells do not know the difference: all photons are the same and the benefits are based on the action of each individual photon, not on bulk properties such as all the photons having the same polarity and coherency. The word "laser" has a superior marketing appeal for companies because it sounds interesting and mysterious. It also costs a lot which means patients can't do it on their own. These are the reasons there has been much more research in LLLT for healing than LEDs and halogens: companies and researchers have expected more profit.
I thought finding an LED light source would be relatively easy to find but much to my chagrin; it took me well over two years to locate a LED light that was affordable. The device I have found is a simple; it has 36 LEDs, 18 red (660 nm) and 18 near-infrared (850 nm). The LED array size is 1.8 x 1.8 inches. This is a simple device that's just as good as all the expensive LED devices on the market. Application time for each treatment area is 30 minutes 2 x per day.
Conditions that LED Infra-Red Light therapy may help are:
- sports injuries such as knee, ankle, shoulder, etc
- burns, scrapes, and pain relief from cuts
- ulcers
- macular degeneration
- laser burns to the retina
- fibromyalgia pains
- preventing bruising and inflammation if it's fresh injury
- bunion pain
- diabetic neuropathy
- tendinitis
- myofascial pain
- minimize recent nerve injury
- wound healing, especially in diabetics
- bursitis
- wrinkles
- aging
- acne
- spots
- bone healing
- existing
- bruises and inflammation
- back pains
- rosacea
- psoriasis
- eczema
- dermatitis
- poison ivy
