Reverse Aging, Heal Acne, and Cure Illness

With the Power of Red Light

🔴 Thread 🔴

In 1666 Isaac Newton discovered that sunlight could be split into different wavelengths of light that behave uniquely.

Since then light has been studied extensively. and its qualities, and how we can harness different wavelengths of light to improve human health

In 1935 we finally understood what a critical piece Vitamin D is to overall health and that skin exposure to a certain wavelength of ultraviolet light is responsible for stimulating Vitamin D production.

This opened the door further for the study of light's effect on health.

In 1993 NASA made a monumental finding in experiments involving the rapid growth of plants that were exposed to red light.

Researchers involved in this experiment also experienced unexpected healing of skin wounds due to their exposure to the red light.

Much like:

Sleep
Nutrition
Movement
Respiration

Light is one of the primary conditions for the life of any biological organism.

Different wavelengths of light play important roles in regulating biological function.

From synchronizing our circadian rhythm to stimulating cellular energy production in the form of ATP, the entire spectrum affects our health.

Let's talk about Red Light Therapy [RLT] also known as Photobiomodulation.

Red light consists of visible wavelengths of light from 600nm-700nm in length on the electromagnetic spectrum

With infrared light ranging from 700nm-1400nm.

One of the core benefits seen from RLT is increased cellular energy via stimulated Adenosine Triphosphate [ATP] production.

ATP is the energy your mitochondria use to power your cells

When you increase the available energy for cellular use there are a host of systemic benefits.

Studied benefits include:

- Improved sight
- Wound healing
- Stimulated recovery
- Improved skin health
- Promoted hair growth
- Reduced inflammation
- Enhanced performance
- Increased energy levels
- Reduce oxidative stress
- Cognitive & emotional benefits

The list goes on...

A big player in aging, skin health, inflammation, and chronic disease is oxidative stress [OS].

OS is caused by an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body.

Antioxidants neutralize these highly reactive and destructive free radicals.

While diet plays a major role in managing oxidative stress and the impact of free radicals

Treatment with RLT increases energy production, leading to cell proliferation and an overall increase in cellular health body-wide.

By reducing oxidative stress and improving blood flow to inflamed tissue RLT can help skin regenerate and heal faster, reducing inflammation and improving bodily balance.

"Significant improvements on NIR-LED treated scars were seen in all measures."

"The remarkable range of medical benefits provided by PBM, has led some to suggest that it may be “too good to be true”. However one of the most general benefits of PBM that has recently emerged, is its pronounced anti-inflammatory effects"

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

This ability to significantly decrease inflammation in the body aids in rapid healing and recovery throughout the organism.

This is one reason why RLT is a favorite recovery modality of athletes – undergoing intense effort causes the breakdown of muscle tissue and bodywide inflammation.

Stimulated ATP production leads to reduced inflammation and enhanced recovery.

A recent study found that deep red light exposure to the retina improved vision in a human study - but only if applied in the morning, not in the afternoon.

Amazingly, the effects of a single 3-minute session lasted a week.

During Sunrise, the low angle that sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere causes blue light to diffuse while red light remains intact and more penetrating.

This means that sunrise is optimal for red light absorption.

In classic holistic fashion, I encourage you to make viewing sunrise a ritual part of your lifestyle.

Not only will it benefit you on a cellular and energetic level, but I'm also confident that it will benefit you on an emotional, mental, and spiritual level.

Connecting with nature is more important than ever.

We are a part of nature, intimately connected, and we benefit greatly from living in alignment with this Truth.

Nature can and will heal our ailments if only we'll let go of the things that are making us sick.

The sun will always be my preferred source of this healing light.

Although, recent advancements in light technology have allowed us to isolate specific wavelengths of red and NIR light and fit the healing power of the sun into devices that fit into the palm of your hand.

If you have the means I highly recommend investing in one of these Red Light Therapy devices.

Having red light wavelengths at your fingertips is an absolute game-changer on a cellular level.
