    I had psoriasis I think about 5 years ago. It started out with red dry splotchy patches on my chest and it started spreading over the course of the year. I think I was a little low on vitamin D and I started supplementing but it didn't go away until I went to the beach for a couple of days. Hanging out in the ocean and running around getting sunshine seem to be the trick and it totally vanished and hasn't resurrected since! I'm convinced it was hanging out at the beach and maybe a mixture of being in the ocean and sunshine or at least a heavy dose of sunshine.

      There are different forms and causes of arthritis. Sometimes it's just pain from inflammatory factors, sometimes it's due to chronic degeneration of the cartilage between the bones due to injury and wear and tear, sometimes it's due to serious autoimmune disease.

    I've been using near-infrared and red-light therapy for almost a year and it has dramatically reduced my need for pain medicine. I have long COVID, stage 4 breast cancer, thyroid disease, Hashimoto's disease, heart failure, and Parkinson's. Despite all these health issues, I lead a fairly normal life except for my eyesight, which is affected by a film over my eyes, and I can't do any strenuous activity as it can cause cardiac arrest. I also have balance issues, which usually are only a problem when I go outside. One of the most noticeable benefits, of using the near-infrared/red light pad, is I find it is causing brown, scab-like growths to fall off my skin. I've had many of these growths for other 30 years and I'm delighted to be rid of them.

    Bryan Johnson wears that infrared helmet every morning for his hair. I'm like, can't you just go out in the morning and get a minute of infrared from the Sun? Wouldn't that be better, especially since it would positively affect your whole body instead of just the top of your head? It's my understanding the infrared from the Sun also reflects off of green so you could just basically stand outside and it's reflecting off of grass and trees and so on even if you're not directly in the sun. And it penetrates through clothing even but maybe not glass.

      I think the problem with that is he is an 'anti-aging' athlete and the sun comes with UV rays which are photoaging. A full body infrared bath would be better than the helmet. There are also infrared face masks for skin. Interesting stuff.

    if you want to know HOW. "The application of red light (600-810 nm) is absorbed by the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, which is located in the unit IV respiratory chain of the mitochondria." It literally boosts the performance of mitochondria which are the powerhouse of the cell. The leading hypothesis is that the photons dissociate inhibitory nitric oxide from the enzyme.

    • @MictheVegan

      This does take a bit of research. The 'LLLT / Low Level Laser Therapy' helmets and wands with infrared are pretty widely available by credible companies (and some not so credible ones). Also, the narrow band green light is also available even as cheap bulbs on Amazon which is maybe hit or miss but is 520 nm (www.amazon.com/Neporal-Migraine-Spectrum-Non-Drug-Equivalent/dp/B0BYSPBJQT/ref=asc_df_B0BYSPBJQT/).
      Otherwise it is the $300 Allay Lamp by the company that did the study...convenient lol. My guess is there are also some light therapy clinics in certain cities but maybe people need to start more.

    I did research a few years ago on electromagnetic interference and light pollution which might interest you since 1970s it has gone up exponentially. It showed there is biological radiative effects to constant exposure to artificial light. I think the practice of earthing discharges the excess electricity that builds up in our body. Bare foot on the ground, and bare head in the natural sunlight, seems to restore the delicate electrical balance that our brain, heart, nervous system needs. It could contribute to issues with disrupted circadian rhythm, arrhythmia of the heart, nervous system tick disorders like tourette’s and parkinson’s. Scientists found that our body generates its own electromagnetic field, like a bubble around us, just as the earth does. It needs to be in balance like any magnetic charge.

      It's supposed to mimic the brightest daylight, bright white, trending towards blue light. The use of these lights in these types of places is meant to keep their employees awake, alert and productive. It simulates the light of the time of day we would be more active as humans. It can feel like it messes with you because it can disrupt part of the way we regulate our circadian rhythm, our internal clocks, that tell us when to awake, when to rest, depending on the light we are exposed to throughout the day.
