Gary - this is an outstanding synthesis of diverse source material. I have a 10-year-old DIY setup which uses a $15 clamp lamp and a $25 incandescent NIR bulb. Pro tip: when folks question me about the benefits of PBM, I reply "it's just sunshine WITHOUT the sunburn!" Reposted to Gab.
I've been using red light for years and find that it helps with pain and increases my feeling of wellbeing tremendously. Another thing that it can really help with is raising testosterone levels. It's easy to use that way and can potentially be much more effective than taking testosterone supplements.
What an amazing collection of resources for red light therapy. I toyed with the theory several years ago and tried to interest some older friends in experimenting with it for cosmetic reasons; wrinkles. But they did not stick to it long enough to produce discernable results.

Now I see topics such as “…use of red and near-infrared light to stimulate healing, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation.” “…efficacy in stimulating wound healing…”, and this gemstone quote from your synopsis, a diamond found on the beach,

“PBM directed to the brain is rapidly gaining interest among neuroscience researchers and the public for safe, reliable, noninvasive means of enhancing brain health and optimizing performance. Research has shown it helpful in treating Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, COVID-related brain fog, and traumatic brain injury. Stimulates cellular growth and regeneration; increase cellular energy, survival and lifespan; improve brain blood flow and oxygenation; decreases oxidative stress and inflammation; protect brain cells against future; enhances whole brain network efficiency.”

Neurogenesis.

Everyone with a brain should be interested in that topic.

“Scientists have long known that our ability to think quickly and recall information, also known as fluid intelligence, peaks around age 20 and then begins a slow decline.” MIT News

Ha, maybe at MIT…
More later, gotta run.
Incredibly comprehensive article. Love your bullet point style too. Thank you 🙏🌹
Thank you!
Excellent information - appreciate this, Gary. Thanks.
