Red light therapy improved vision / eyesight in 95-97% of people in 2 weeks, an astounding study demonstrates.

(🧵1/7)Image
This study was published in 2008, looking at people with age related macular degeneration.

This is the most common cause of vision loss with age and can cause blurry vision and just having worse overall eyesight.

The macula is a central region in the retina, the part of the eye that helps facilitate vision.

They used a laser of red light applied to the back of the eye.

◈ Wavelength: 780 nm (near-infrared)
◈ Laser type: Semiconductor diode, continuous emission
◈ Power output: 7.5 mW
◈ Frequency modulation: 292 Hz
◈ Spot diameter: 3 mm (collimated beam)
◈ Irradiation time: 40 seconds per eye
◈ Energy density (fluence): 0.3 J/cm² per session
◈ Total dose: 1.2 J/cm² (4 sessions, 2 × per week × 2 weeks)
◈ Application site: Transconjunctival (through the sclera, not through eyelid)
◈ Distance from eye: ~1 cm from ocular surface
◈ Beam target: Toward macular region with eye turned inward (adduction)
◈ Power reaching retina (estimated): ≈ 1–2 mW after tissue attenuation
◈ Thermal profile: Sub-thermal (non-heating, purely photobiomodulatory)

You DO NOT want to stare into a red light. If one was to use this with a normal non laser device, closing the eyes and allowing the red light to penetrate through would be a better option.

After just 2 weeks (2 treatments per week) - red light improved nearly EVERYONE'S vision.

Not one person's declined, and out of 146 eyeballs, only 4 stagnated.

The rest improved. measured by standard visual acuity testing.

(4/7) Image
The same was true for people with cataracts.

Out of 182 eyes, only 10 showed no improvement.

The rest improved.

Red light also improves color perception / blindness.

Each line in the diagram connects colored caps that the patient placed in order of perceived hue.

Crossed, disordered lines mean the patient’s color perception was distorted before treatment.

After, they were able to accurately perform the test, meaning their color perception was fixed.

How exactly does this work?

Macular degeneration typically involves a few key steps:

➜ Oxidative degradation of lipids in the retinal pigment epithelial cells (lipofuscin)
➜ Accumulation of old photoreceptors (proteins that help convert light into vision)
➜ Slowed phagocytosis (clearing of old photoreceptors)
➜ Eventual cell death

Red light stimulates the metabolism within these cells, which helps by:

➜ Increasing phagocytic clearance and renewal of photoreceptors
➜ Improving cell survival / antioxidant status

This is a suitable device to use. If this is to be used the eyes should be shut, about 6-12 inches away and only for very brief periods (maybe 1 min 2-3x a week).

High CORTISOL? Here are 7 KEY DIET PRINCIPLES to keeping it in check (🧵1/8).

#1 Minerals

Magnesium + potassium lower cortisol by ~40%. [study]

These are our two primary calming minerals, helping cells relax properly, especially those in the:

➠ Brain (hypothalamus)
➠ Pituitary
➠ Adrenals

which limits the excessive production of cortisol.Image
Salt is very important here, too.

An extra teaspoon of salt dramatically reduces stress.

Sufficient salt:

• Cuts adrenaline in half
• Cuts noradrenaline in half
• Lowers cortisol
• Lowers aldosterone
• Lowers angiotensin II

While typically dietary recommendations are to eat 2300 mg sodium, more than double that decreases these stress hormones.

Just make sure you get a good quality salt and plenty of other minerals as well.Image
#2 Carbs

A lack of glucose (carbohydrate) drives the stress response.

The brain’s hypothalamus has cells that increase CRH in response to low glucose levels, which activates:

1. HPA axis (cortisol)
2. Sympathetic nervous system (adrenaline)

Both of which stimulate the hormone glucagon as well.

These hormones stimulate our body’s creation of glucose.

This is why eating carbohydrate or sugar acutely lowers the stress cascade,

and restriction of carbs promotes it.Image

Big pharma & doctors have been pushing statins on anyone with high cholesterol for decades.

But high cholesterol is a symptom, and you can lower it NATURALLY.

Here are 7 root causes to focus on (🧵1/8):Image
1. Bile acids

These are the major metabolite of all cholesterol produced in the body - they're excreted into the gut to aid in digestion.

◇ Taurine
◇ Glycine

Are needed to synthesize these.

Fiber prevents the re-absorption of bile, meaning more is created from cholesterol and thus cholesterol gets utilized.Image
2. Hormones

Cholesterol is the precursor to ALL steroid hormones.

To help this conversion, you need:

➢ Sufficient thyroid hormone
➢ Vitamin A
➢ Zinc

Specific hormones require specific optimization - so ensuring your levels of all are in check is key, and ensures your cholesterol is getting used properly.Image

Sugar can literally IMPROVE diabetes & insulin resistance.

Countless studies have shown this, despite what the mainstream media will tell you.

BUT there's one caveat you need to know.

Let's get into the science:Image
100 grams of fructose improves insulin resistance.

Fructose is half of what constitutes table sugar (sucrose), and what distinguishes it from starch.

On a 20% fructose diet, diabetics had:

⦿ LOWER morning blood sugar
⦿ REDUCED HbA1c

in comparison to a high starch diet. Image
Sugar lowers blood sugar with a meal.

Here, using a small (7.5g) amount of fructose improved the amount of glucose that could be metabolized,

while also reducing insulin response.

The classic signs of improved insulin sensitivity. Image

We DID NOT eat less prior to obesity.

We didn't even eat "healthy" by modern standards.

In fact, we ate lots of calories, fat, sugar and carbs.

This is what we used to REALLY eat, back when everyone was skinny (based on historical evidence):

(🧵1/11)Image
United states calorie supply:

1909 = ~3500 calories.

1989 = ~3500 calories.

Yet, obesity increased by about 10 FOLD.

What exactly were we eating? Well... Image
We ate TONS of calories prior to the obesity epidemic.

Let's take a look at the 1939 USDA book of agriculture.

The more money people spent, the more calories were consumed.

On the low end: around 2,000.

On the high end: over 4,000, even close to 5,000 a day.

This is for a 154 pound man who was "moderately active."

This would be more active than a man today for sure, but the richest people would also be the least active of the day, yet no detectable obesity crisis.Image

Nattokinase shrinks arterial plaques in nearly 80% of people, a landmark recent study has shown.

(🧵1/7) Image
Natto is a food commonly consumed in Japan made from fermented soybeans.

The soybeans have the bacteria Bacillus subtilis var natto added,

The bacteria eats the soybeans and it produces the enzyme nattokinase.

What nattokinase does is it breaks down fibrin - the primary protein that holds together blood clots.

These blood clots are what result from plaques in the arteries, leading to the blockage of blood flow and eventually heart attack.

(2/7)Image
This study took over 1,000 people with evidence of mild heart disease or who were at risk.

People were given 10,800 FU of nattokinase per day.

This is equivalent to roughly 100-200 mg of nattokinase per day.

You can't get fat just by eating more calories.

Scientists have been trying to do that for decades - and it doesn't work.

Here's what they've discovered, and what it tells us about what really makes us fat (🧵1/13):Image
A recent massive review looked at all of these experiments - known as overfeeding studies.

They take people, see how much food they're eating at a stable weight, and then stuff their faces with more food to see what happens.

Often this involves giving people thousands of calories more, for months.Image
They showed a few key things.

First, that the amount of food consumed over maintenance does cause fat gain, but FAR less than predicted.

For example, eating 50,000 calories in excess would be predicted to make you gain over 14 pounds of fat (3500 calories / pound).

In reality - it was shown to lead to about HALF of that (<7 lb).Image
