Yes, I will to into the less-is-more aspect in part 2. You can find uk and US sources for the nose lights in here https://www.outthinkingparkinsons.com/articles/red-nose The massager I think I got from Lloyds pharmacy in the uk. Unfortunately, Jolie is no longer making the wristbands.
Oh, would you by chance be able to list the brands of your gizmos, too? Its hard to know where to start when looking for red light doodads that arent pure LED scams.
I am severely injured, and I am currently in purgatory with pain from back fractures. I have had two kyphoplasty surgeries, and I have bone plaster to stabilize my back.
I had to call the Vie Light company to make sure that my red light would not adversely affect the bone plaster. Fortunately, no heat is generated, and I am able to use my red light.
I have a LED red-light/infra red device that hangs on the wall. Last year I started having issues with dry eye. The optometrist gave me drops and a few other items (hot compress) to help. I use the red light daily with my eyes closed - but infra red penetrates the surface and I noticed that afterwards everything red was white. Anyway I mentioned this to my optometrist and he said there's been a lot of research on red light and the eyes. He said to turn off the infra-red and that it would be safe for me to look directly at the red light with my eyes open. So I have tried it (2 minutes a day). As an aside at the same time I started to put castor oil on my eyelids at night and have noticed a big improvement in the dry eye. So not sure which has helped so much, but it sounds safe to use the red light on your eyes.
Thank you Gary. Would you mind sharing the name/brand of the red light devices you use? Also, do you know if a red bulb like TheraBulb's 150 watt bulb which emits NIR - (near infrared) IR (infrared) and "Red Light" would work? (i have one). Very interesting and important to know about the limited use time for best results.
Thanks heaps for specifying that, when it comes to red light therapy, less is more. Very important note!

Cool, another application, thanks for this.

The massager was from Lloyds Pharmacy in the UK,. Unfortunately, Jolie is no longer selling the wristbands.

Are you aware of the research and self-experimentation that is going on about IR and PD? Will that be part of the series?
Yes, I'll mention that. Also see this guest post by Marvin who is working on this: https://www.outthinkingparkinsons.com/articles/armouring
Great! Can't wait... (so to speak)
Also someone sent me this video of trials in Australia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIaJr7PLtxY
Sounds interesting, I would be interested to know as well which actual brand device you used for the nasal therapy.
