Ok I'll do it! I've resumed my regular sessions - so I'll give it another week or two before I get the camera out and film an update. But here is a sneak peak - my back is better (not great, but much better) and tooth pain has pretty much disappeared (but because the pain was in a new spot, I've booked a dentist visit in for next week just in case there is work needed).
@@LightTherapyInsiders Hi Alex, love your channel! One of the things I’ve noticed though is you always talk about how powerful a panel is. Often making it seem that the more powerful it is the better it is. Research has shown that this is not true. I know you have talked with Andrew from GembaRed and he also agrees that the new panels are too powerful and are not using the optimum lens angle. I can’t help but wonder how many people are overdosing and not receiving the true benefits of red light therapy. Just wanted to pass on my thoughts, thanks again for all you do. Best, Lori
@@loriwysocki4203 Hey, I missed this comment until now. Yeah it's something I'm looking it and will be covering in future topics. When I first started in this space the panels were quite under-powered compared to todays panels. So when new products were released I was always impressed by the new power readings. Now though I think we've got to a point (maybe even beyond) where there is more than enough power in them. I'm working through the science on dosing etc and plan on coming out with some content on this topic :) Also - my follow up video is now live - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html - I'd love to hear your professional views on this update :)
I have the 2nd generation Joov panel. After 2.5 years it stopped working which is incredibly disappointing. They told me I could ship it back at my expense and they would look at it and tell me how much it costs for the repair. I spent $1400 on it. I went ahead and ordered the MitoPro 1500 based on your recommendation and I can’t wait to get. I will never purchase a Joov product which in my opinion is a lot of marketing and hype at a premium price. I literally cannot live without a panel. The improvements it has made to my skin, joints, pain and overall health is well worth every penny. Thanks for all your videos and all that you do!
Hey, I'm so pleased to hear you're enjoying the benefits of RLT. It truly is a game changer. Though I'm sorry to hear about your experiences with Joovv. I don't understand their pricing model, it really is outrageous IMO. But yeah I'd say a lot of it goes to their marketing budget.
So I have been using panels for 7 weeks and a light torch and light Pad (wrap) for over 6 months. What stands out the most is the pain relief from the torch is much faster for smaller areas. The initial focus was tennis elbow. At mid 50's I battled it many times and it would normally take weeks using an elbow wrap and reduced activity to eliminate the pain. The key was to not overuse it. (Alex has explained the diaphasic effect) Once pain gone (only took days to feel better and a few weeks to be completely gone) I would use once or twice a week for maintenance after that. The one thing that concerns me with your experience is pain coming back after not using it. Not sure I would get a panel if that was the case. If used the way you and others have explained, exciting the mitochondria would be part of a healing process that would last long term. Like my Tennis elbow pain is gone. Not using the Torch anymore but using the panels which don't really target if even touch the elbow at 6-12" unless I stand sideways. Maybe the systemic still helps? After a lot of research, I purchased the Mitored panels. Three to cover whole body for myself and 6' tall kids. It has only been 7 weeks but I can say the improvement in sleep was immediate. By doing everyday I started noticing detoxing (face T zone lite up) So I backed off to 3-4 days a week. Didn't notice much in skin improvement (face) until i used some moisturizer afterwards. These panels are very powerful and the face starts heat up fast. I have been experimenting with different distances so not much to report on yet. If closer, the red light gets deeper so I started at 6" for 7 minutes and then back up to 18 for another 5. Trying the best of both worlds that short time and short distance gets deep and longer time less power for more overall systemic. Do that for front then back - 3 times a week. Alternating days I try 5 minutes on my sides. Which I think would hit some organs a little more and I seem to detox more on those days. Providing in case this helps others in their journey but to also mention I have experienced long term solutions using different forms of redlight. Thanks for your informative research. Looking forward to hear your follow up.
This is such an awesome comment! Thank you!! And this is how RLT should be used - experiment, take note of changes, make adjustments, think about what could be happening etc. So well done. I do often think that maybe the 'optimal' RLT approach is what you have discovered - high powered, very targeted treatment for acute injuries (ie, your torch with the elbow). And more of a general treatment for the body. Being sure not to over do it on the dosage but also the frequency. I did recently write this comment which covers some of your points as well so I will leave it here: Though I do have some thoughts on this which I will cover in my follow up video. Pretty much when I look at my two main pain points - my back and my teeth - both of them are not 'wounds' or issues that can simply heal. The back is a structural/movement issue - which requires either surgery or ongoing mobility/movement work. The light seems to help with the pain - especially when my back was aggrevated. The tooth - well there are two issues here. One is the sensitive/receding gums - again this is something that can't 'heal' or 'regrow' on it's own. I have to either use a chemical laden paste to help with the pain, get surgery (though my case isn't bad enough for that) or just live with it. The light helps eliminate the pain so I can eat and drink normally, and don't need to use the pastes etc. The other tooth pain is unusual - as it's a new issue. I was wondering if it needs a filling - so I booked a dental visit for next week. But do you know whats funny, it's been two weeks now since I've been back using RLT and that pain has pretty much disappeared. So now I'm super curious to see what the dentist says. because if there is a hole there - then maybe i wouldn't' know about it because the RLT masked it. And if there is no hole or no issues there - then maybe there was a problem but RLT has helped repair it?? IDK. Stay tuned though I'll post a follow up video in a few weeks time :)
Well it’s taken almost 4 years of watching this channel. Finally bit the bullet after reading so many of your blogs and watching more of your videos than I would like to confess to. The order for bio max 900 is complete and as I’m in Melbourne the 1 to 5 days delivery sounds a tad over optimistic. Super excited no matter how long it takes 😂. Thanks for all Alex 🙏🏼🙌🏼😊
Wow 4 years watching my channel! That's awesome. I reckon you would be one of a handful of people who have followed my work for so long so thank you so much for your support. Has the BioMax arrived? 5 days does sound pretty quick but hopefully it's there already. How are you finding it? I hope life in Melbourne is treating you well and you aren't having any of those crazy heat waves. I used to travel to Melbourne for a few summer music festivals - the heat there sometimes was outrageous! 🥵
So I always thought RLT would heal the cells but it sounds like it's just masking pain? I know that consistency is the key to success but crazy how quickly it all comes back.
Yes it is a good point. Though I do have some thoughts on this which I will cover in my follow up video.

I'm a dentist .. what was the outcome of this? My educated guess would be (if u didn't have a cavity ), that it's helping with a reffered type pain? Please answer ! I'm very intrigued
Regarding your teeth problem, you MUST try Black seed oil. I have been using it for over a year it has resolved my teeth sensitivity and bleeding gums and helps a lot with microcavities. Using a teaspoon is enough, When finished with oil pulling don't spit it out but swallow the oil it has incredible benefits.
I guess you could say the same for people who have failed stem cell injections. If you don't fix the underlying structural imbalances, and work on correcting biomechanics, even if you use regenerative practices, the joint will again wear out. Same with inflammation. If you don't address diet, sleep and contact with nature, inflammation will not go away permanently.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I have 1st gen Red Light Rising Half Panel and due to the small size I'm kinda fallen off the red light bandwagon, as I'd prefer to get full body benefits instead. I think I'll doo what you suggested and give it another go, at least 5 times per week for a month or two and then stop to see what happens.
Hey, yes great idea. The other way is you hit a different body part each day and rotate through them. Or if you have any acute issues (burns, wounds, injured joints etc) then you focus on treating them :)
This video is making me rethink using red light therapy. It sounds like the red light just numbs body pain but doesn't actually fix it. This might not be good if the underlying problem goes unnoticed or untreated. I just might stop my red light therapy now. I'll think about it. Very helpful video

I would love to see a follow up! I just ordered a small red light before investing in a larger panel. Would love to see if it's healing or masking pain. Thanks for all the updates and reviews!
Why would we want to become "addicted" to any therapy that is being sought for self-inflicted things like, improper form in exercises or over exposure to the sun? I am glad this angle was explored, and will try my best to not become reliant on it for improper form, as I often hurt myself by over working my arms. I need to find a good trainer who will work into a routine for me all the proper form.
I've been doing Canadian Air Force exercises for 50 years. If I stop, for any period of time, I get the same result. Back pain, muscle stiffness, low stamina, shortness of breath. I assumed this is why I began my regimen in the first place. I thought it quite reasonable that my body went back to the lack of stimulation. Your findings may have nothing to do with RT, maybe just your body crying out for some TLC. (?) Nice job on your videos. Thanks, Clearwater, Fl.
Thanks for sharing Alex, I totally believe in light therapy! It's SO good for us, can't wait to get my first one, I've been watching your vids to decide on a small one to start off with! Follow up video would be great!
Ok sure. I'll do a follow up - also stay tuned as I have 4 videos coming out looking at the tabletop videos in more detail (first one should be out in 24-48 hours)
Great video Alex. Yes, please do the follow up which will make this video even more valuable. I am so impressed that you answered virtually every comment. What dedication in helping others.
Hey, yeah every monday I sit down (well stand up actually) and go through all my YT comments. It used to only take 30-60 mins... but now it is taking up a big chunk of my Monday! But I know it's valuable for the viewers. I have just finished my follow up video - it's with the editor now and will be out next week. There are some interesting revelations in that video so be sure to sub and stay tuned!
That was kind of sad to hear. It didn't CURE your back, it just kept the pain away. I wonder if DMSO or Methylene Blue would CURE or just stop the pain? Who knows?
Thanks for the experiment. I was hoping however that the photobiomodulation treatments would permanently solve the problem (like the tooth sensitivity you had). The fact that the pain returned suggests the pbm doesn't solve the root cause. Maybe it's just an anesthetic?

I'd rather have the RLT for more cell energy, improved attitude, reduced pain to do better workouts, better oxygenation of everything including the brain, improved health, better skin, etc. Maybe his strength and endurance improvements using RLT put more stress on the muscles and joints and THAT is what he is feeling. As a lifetime weight lifter since age 12 (I'm 68 now),, I gave up the very heavy dead lifts 600+lbs, squats 550+lbs and bench presses 375+lbs 20 years ago because I began to see changes in joint and ligament pain that was worse if I continued at those levels. I'm in this for the long term health benefits, not trying to prove how strong I can get. Unlike some of my weight lifting and running friends that had several injuries, I DON'T need knee replacement surgery, hip replacement, back surgery, shoulder surgery, etc. I think the benefits of RLT far out weigh any negatives, and that includes pain relief because life is a pain. And yes Alex, a follow up would be very good.
Hey. Yeah there could be some truth to what you said. I know that the back issue is a mechanical issue (some imbalances through the hip etc) and something I've been dealing with for 10 years now. Likewise with the tooth pain - one of the issues is from a high receding gum on one tooth. I'm not sure what caused this but dentists have told me there is nothing I can do about it so I have to deal with the pain - they recommend using a sensitive chemical laden tooth paste. The RLT is a much more 'safer' option. But yes a 600lb deadlift (what i was doing last year) at 35 years old is starting to take it's toll!! I will be doing a follow up video in a few weeks :)
This video seems to indicate that RLT is just a temporary solution (or covers up symptoms such as pain) and does not really resolve root cause to prevent re-occurrence. That's fine if accurate (so people can get temporary relief anyways) but it's disappointing that there is limited or no long term healing with RLT for chronic conditions. Perhaps some conditions achieve more long term healing such as scars, improves immune system, possibly speed up healing etc.. but chronic conditions would not achieve long term benefit from what I can tell. A video on which conditions are improved/masked temporarily versus which conditions have longer term benefit would be welcomed. Still a good tool to have IR in your health arsenal but it's not a silver bullet. Thanks for the videos, transparency and education as usual.
Hey. Yes it is an interesting result. I will make a clarification in my follow up video that the main 'pain points' I have (my lower back and teeth) are issues that probably need surgery to remedy. So the RLT is great at helping to manage these issues without surgery. Here is a comment I posted that may help explain this in more detail (until my follow up video is out) Yes it is a good point. Though I do have some thoughts on this which I will cover in my follow up video.

Thank you for putting your life at risk and doing this dangerous experiment for the sake of science. 😅 But seriously, thank you for the information. For some reason the information on withdrawal effects seems more valuable than information on benefits of RLT. It kinda solidifies the empirical evidence.
I would love to know how you use the red light therapy for sensitive teeth? Do you expose your teeth? Or do you think you’re getting benefits to your teeth when standing at the panel even with your mouth closed? Thank you so much for all your wealth of information!
Alex you probably addressed this in another video, you are not wearing protective eyewear and are looking at the panel, is the IR light on when you do that. ETA: I found your answer in another video
Alex can you please do a shout out when you know the panels are all with the new switch (450 blue light/platinum) im wanting to buy. By the way, stop getting sunburned.
Hey. Yes. I checked in with Mark yesterday - He said 'soon'. I said how soon - and he said around Mid March. But I will confirm when I know for sure. Sunburn - yes I need to be more careful!
Alex, this was a good study. I would like to ask you what I think is an important question. Do you think/ do you know if using RLT has ONLY provided pain relief, somehow suppressed the pain receptors while under that the underlying issues are still there and getting worse? I know we have pain receptors to tell us when we need to attend to the parts of the body, but if we use RLT and do not get the normal danger signaling and we keep going, not addressing the core issue of the problems, then would you determine that RLT is not really a healing modality, but just a pain suppressor? How can we really know? and... it sounds like once you use these panels you must use them for the rest of your life, actual healing does not occur? I'm curious what you think. Thank you
Hey. If you check out my answers to other questions, you will see my detailed response to your question. But in a nutshell - the issues I have require surgery to fix. So I don't expect RLT to cure them.
Thanks Alex. Can you provide any links to the questions and answers as I scanned here and did not see anything similar so you might mean in other video posts, which could be like looking for a needle in a haystack. I do appreciate your guidance as this decision should not be a knee-jerk response, it should be thoughtfully processed.

Do you clench? Your hygiene might be A+ but if you clench it’s like you working out your muscles. Your teeth and gums will feel sore. Basically you are flexing jaw muscles for extended period of time. Are you stressed? People who grind you see it on their teeth but people who clench it will show up as soreness. Maybe the IRT was easing your stress and helped you stop clenching? Just a thought. Cheers
Clench - i don't know? Is this something one would do during the day? I don't think I do. I know my dentist has said there are signs of grinding. I'm not sure what caused the high gum points, my sister has the same issue but a lot worse.
@@LightTherapyInsiders it could be brushing too hard. Try using your non dominant hand to brush unless you have an electric brush. Gum recession can also be caused by clenching or grinding as well. The stress from the pressure may contribute to it. Grinding usually happens at night but clenching can happen during sleep and during the day. I’m am no dentist just have worked in all specialties chair side. You can bring it up to your dentist and ask for professional advise. We have a patients that wear a mouth guard day and night. That might be overkill for you just try to be conscious and keep your jaw relaxed. I practice keeping my tongue to the roof my mouth and relax my jaw. It helps.
Hi Alex, what particular light box would you recommend or clients highly recommend for severe anxiety. I understand that different light boxes have different features etc and are better quality etc....just wanting to go straight for the jugular here & get the ultimate results. Thanks for your expertise & dedication...Much Gratitude 🙏
Hey, I'm not doctor and I also don't know anything about anxiety. What I can say though is 1) check this video out - ua-cam.com/video/sm8F5xe59Iw/v-deo.html and 2) make a post in our FB group - facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders as other's may be able to provide some recommendations based on their experiences.

Definitely do a follow up from this, very curious. QUESTION: The gap between the four biomax 900 panels is there worry of a loss of RLT to the body where those gaps are? Would you tilt the panels inward slightly?
I have in the past yes - I opened my mouth and let all the light shine in :) But I had some issues on the side as well - so I turned my head so it was square to the panel and shined the light onto my cheek. It also worked well.
@@LightTherapyInsiders I still don't get what red light does, other than help the skin, which is not important to me. If it increases release of stem cells, OK. It it helps the inner organs, OK. I use a hand-held red light device, and it did not help with the pain in my left arm near elbow. I think I hurt a tendon. I do not see an improvement. It does make me feel better if shined in my closed eyes. The brightness kind of makes me feel like I am in bright sunshine, but not convinced it has any benefits other than making me feel a bit more optimistic.
I believe in red light therapy 100%. I’ve been using mine for about five days now and I see a difference in my sleep my back pain my skin my mood my hormones within just five days. My question is I have the box size one it’s maybe 12 or 13“ x 10“ I don’t even really know it’s one that’s bigger than my face. It hangs on the back of my door. I have to place it upper part of my body and then do my lower part of my body, then turn around and use upper back and then lower portion. Is it better just to get the full body one rather than this one the price difference is only $400 so I’m not sure if I should invest into a bigger one or just keep this one and just keep doing what I’m doing
Hey, if you're seeing benefits I would keep doing what you're doing!! If you do want to enjoy the benefits of RLT across more areas of the body, and are happy spending the $ then yeah I would get a larger panel. but again - if you're seeing great results with what you have then you may be fine as is :)
Alex, what panel/device would you recommend for shoulders? I'm about to undergo shoulder surgery and would like to incorporate red light into my rehab.
Get a wide panel. Somethign like a BioMax 900. Or two of them. See my quad setup here - ua-cam.com/video/GiFXlGhPlZc/v-deo.html Alternatively - get a body panel and put it on it's side - so you get full shoulder to shoulder coverage. OR you could get a handheld device - ua-cam.com/video/Kg8vU9_It0Q/v-deo.html and use that to 'spot treat'. The shoulders, but it will take more time. They cost less though
Bought the BIOMAX Series 900 about 4 weeks ago. I cant say I have seen much progress with energy and inflammation issues. Anyone have a comment on how ling it took before you could notice any progress?
This is different for everyone. I have seen members in my Facebook group state as little as two weeks and others as much as 3 months. facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders
Thanks Alex! Watched your videos and bought Mito Pro 300 over buying the OmniLux Face Red Light Mask as I can use the panel on other parts of the body. A question on whether it’s ok to leave the room light on when using the panel or it gives best results with no room light on? Thanks!
That's not so good bro. But if it increases ATP mitochondria invitro cells, of which there are 150 trillion , then I wouldn't expect overall health benifits declining to the point where you would feel so bad. Depends on the issue, if it's an injury then yeah , but the red light will have long term effects.
Hi Alex have you or others ever heard anyone get positive results with RLT and prostrate inflammation? or other prostrate issues like benign enlarged prostrate? or reducing frequency issues?
@Jennifer Rodriguez that's awesome! Maybw I'll start. 54 and getting some definite face wrinkles and my neck too. Glad to hear something actually helps. :)
Hey. Yes it is an interesting result. I will make a clarification in my follow up video that the main 'pain points' I have (my lower back and teeth) are issues that probably need surgery to remedy. So the RLT is great at helping to manage these issues without surgery. Here is a comment I posted that may help explain this in more detail (until my follow up video is out) Yes it is a good point. Though I do have some thoughts on this which I will cover in my follow up video. Pretty much when I look at my two main pain points - my back and my teeth - both of them are not 'wounds' or issues that can simply heal. The back is a structural/movement issue - which requires either surgery or ongoing mobility/movement work. The light seems to help with the pain - especially when my back was aggrevated. The tooth - well there are two issues here. One is the sensitive/receding gums - again this is something that can't 'heal' or 'regrow' on it's own. I have to either use a chemical laden paste to help with the pain, get surgery (though my case isn't bad enough for that) or just live with it. The light helps eliminate the pain so I can eat and drink normally, and don't need to use the pastes etc. The other tooth pain is unusual - as it's a new issue. I was wondering if it needs a filling - so I booked a dental visit for next week. But do you know whats funny, it's been two weeks now since I've been back using RLT and that pain has pretty much disappeared. So now I'm super curious to see what the dentist says. because if there is a hole there - then maybe i wouldn't' know about it because the RLT masked it. And if there is no hole or no issues there - then maybe there was a problem but RLT has helped repair it?? IDK. Stay tuned though I'll post a follow up video in a few weeks time :)
Hey, thats a good question - I'll have to do a video on it. In the meantime check this out - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html - I hope you find it interesting :) But any panel with a decent amount of red and NIR light should help with pain.
You can't attribute everything that's come on to just red light therapy. You also haven't been exercising your muscles as much as they were used to. I did red light therapy for many years then moved to somewhere where it wasn't available. I did notice changes but nothing as significant as yours and I have fibromyalgia.
Yes this is a good point and I need to mention that in my follow up video. I stopped training over the holidays - so this is a big variable. I also stopped doing my mobility work - so this could have contributed to the back pain as well.
@@LightTherapyInsiders thank I did watch it and that video makes my opinion even firmer. I believe any intense stimulation from outside manipulation or substance changes us. We adopt to anything good or bad. And then we mutate.

Ok I'll do it! I've resumed my regular sessions - so I'll give it another week or two before I get the camera out and film an update. But here is a sneak peak - my back is better (not great, but much better) and tooth pain has pretty much disappeared (but because the pain was in a new spot, I've booked a dentist visit in for next week just in case there is work needed).
Hey Amy - my follow up video is now live - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html - I hope you find it interesting :)
@@LightTherapyInsiders hey,so was it something wrong with your teeth finally?
Hey Alex.
Is MitoPro panel compatible with Australian pwer plugs?
I’m a light therapy practitioner. Great case study-I would love for you to do a follow up in another month.
Sure thing! I'll have something out in a few weeks time :)
@@LightTherapyInsiders Hi Alex, love your channel! One of the things I’ve noticed though is you always talk about how powerful a panel is. Often making it seem that the more powerful it is the better it is. Research has shown that this is not true. I know you have talked with Andrew from GembaRed and he also agrees that the new panels are too powerful and are not using the optimum lens angle. I can’t help but wonder how many people are overdosing and not receiving the true benefits of red light therapy. Just wanted to pass on my thoughts, thanks again for all you do. Best, Lori
@@loriwysocki4203 I’d really like to read research on overdosing, if you could post that?
Hey Lori, my follow up video is now live - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html - I'd love to hear your professional views on this update :)
@@loriwysocki4203 Hey, I missed this comment until now. Yeah it's something I'm looking it and will be covering in future topics. When I first started in this space the panels were quite under-powered compared to todays panels. So when new products were released I was always impressed by the new power readings. Now though I think we've got to a point (maybe even beyond) where there is more than enough power in them.
I'm working through the science on dosing etc and plan on coming out with some content on this topic :)
Also - my follow up video is now live - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html - I'd love to hear your professional views on this update :)
That makes it sound like the red light was only covering up vs healing.
Yeah I have covered this topic in other responses below.
I have the 2nd generation Joov panel. After 2.5 years it stopped working which is incredibly disappointing. They told me I could ship it back at my expense and they would look at it and tell me how much it costs for the repair. I spent $1400 on it. I went ahead and ordered the MitoPro 1500 based on your recommendation and I can’t wait to get. I will never purchase a Joov product which in my opinion is a lot of marketing and hype at a premium price. I literally cannot live without a panel. The improvements it has made to my skin, joints, pain and overall health is well worth every penny. Thanks for all your videos and all that you do!
Hey,
I'm so pleased to hear you're enjoying the benefits of RLT. It truly is a game changer. Though I'm sorry to hear about your experiences with Joovv. I don't understand their pricing model, it really is outrageous IMO. But yeah I'd say a lot of it goes to their marketing budget.
So I have been using panels for 7 weeks and a light torch and light Pad (wrap) for over 6 months. What stands out the most is the pain relief from the torch is much faster for smaller areas. The initial focus was tennis elbow. At mid 50's I battled it many times and it would normally take weeks using an elbow wrap and reduced activity to eliminate the pain. The key was to not overuse it. (Alex has explained the diaphasic effect) Once pain gone (only took days to feel better and a few weeks to be completely gone) I would use once or twice a week for maintenance after that.
The one thing that concerns me with your experience is pain coming back after not using it. Not sure I would get a panel if that was the case. If used the way you and others have explained, exciting the mitochondria would be part of a healing process that would last long term. Like my Tennis elbow pain is gone. Not using the Torch anymore but using the panels which don't really target if even touch the elbow at 6-12" unless I stand sideways. Maybe the systemic still helps?
After a lot of research, I purchased the Mitored panels. Three to cover whole body for myself and 6' tall kids. It has only been 7 weeks but I can say the improvement in sleep was immediate. By doing everyday I started noticing detoxing (face T zone lite up) So I backed off to 3-4 days a week. Didn't notice much in skin improvement (face) until i used some moisturizer afterwards. These panels are very powerful and the face starts heat up fast. I have been experimenting with different distances so not much to report on yet. If closer, the red light gets deeper so I started at 6" for 7 minutes and then back up to 18 for another 5. Trying the best of both worlds that short time and short distance gets deep and longer time less power for more overall systemic. Do that for front then back - 3 times a week. Alternating days I try 5 minutes on my sides. Which I think would hit some organs a little more and I seem to detox more on those days. Providing in case this helps others in their journey but to also mention I have experienced long term solutions using different forms of redlight.
Thanks for your informative research. Looking forward to hear your follow up.
This is such an awesome comment! Thank you!!
And this is how RLT should be used - experiment, take note of changes, make adjustments, think about what could be happening etc. So well done.
I do often think that maybe the 'optimal' RLT approach is what you have discovered - high powered, very targeted treatment for acute injuries (ie, your torch with the elbow). And more of a general treatment for the body. Being sure not to over do it on the dosage but also the frequency.
I did recently write this comment which covers some of your points as well so I will leave it here:

Hi Craig - my follow up video is now live - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html - I hope you find it interesting :)
Well it’s taken almost 4 years of watching this channel. Finally bit the bullet after reading so many of your blogs and watching more of your videos than I would like to confess to. The order for bio max 900 is complete and as I’m in Melbourne the 1 to 5 days delivery sounds a tad over optimistic. Super excited no matter how long it takes 😂. Thanks for all Alex 🙏🏼🙌🏼😊
Wow 4 years watching my channel! That's awesome. I reckon you would be one of a handful of people who have followed my work for so long so thank you so much for your support.
Has the BioMax arrived? 5 days does sound pretty quick but hopefully it's there already. How are you finding it? I hope life in Melbourne is treating you well and you aren't having any of those crazy heat waves. I used to travel to Melbourne for a few summer music festivals - the heat there sometimes was outrageous! 🥵
is it good?
So I always thought RLT would heal the cells but it sounds like it's just masking pain? I know that consistency is the key to success but crazy how quickly it all comes back.
Yes it is a good point. Though I do have some thoughts on this which I will cover in my follow up video.

I'm a dentist .. what was the outcome of this? My educated guess would be (if u didn't have a cavity ), that it's helping with a reffered type pain? Please answer ! I'm very intrigued
Regarding your teeth problem, you MUST try Black seed oil. I have been using it for over a year it has resolved my teeth sensitivity and bleeding gums and helps a lot with microcavities. Using a teaspoon is enough, When finished with oil pulling don't spit it out but swallow the oil it has incredible benefits.
Oh thanks. i did used to take that in the path - it tastes like motor oil (well what i would imagine motor oil to taste like!)
Please do a follow up video in a month from now.
Thank you for all of your very insightful videos. They are very much appreciated.
Will do!

I guess you could say the same for people who have failed stem cell injections. If you don't fix the underlying structural imbalances, and work on correcting biomechanics, even if you use regenerative practices, the joint will again wear out. Same with inflammation. If you don't address diet, sleep and contact with nature, inflammation will not go away permanently.
You're on to it!
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I have 1st gen Red Light Rising Half Panel and due to the small size I'm kinda fallen off the red light bandwagon, as I'd prefer to get full body benefits instead. I think I'll doo what you suggested and give it another go, at least 5 times per week for a month or two and then stop to see what happens.
Hey, yes great idea. The other way is you hit a different body part each day and rotate through them. Or if you have any acute issues (burns, wounds, injured joints etc) then you focus on treating them :)
This video is making me rethink using red light therapy. It sounds like the red light just numbs body pain but doesn't actually fix it. This might not be good if the underlying problem goes unnoticed or untreated. I just might stop my red light therapy now. I'll think about it. Very helpful video

Massage makes me feel better, but my knots typically come back after a few weeks or more. Not sure if that means massage is a bad choice though.

Hey Becky - my follow up video is now live - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html - I hope you find it interesting :)
Why would we want to become "addicted" to any therapy that is being sought for self-inflicted things like, improper form in exercises or over exposure to the sun? I am glad this angle was explored, and will try my best to not become reliant on it for improper form, as I often hurt myself by over working my arms. I need to find a good trainer who will work into a routine for me all the proper form.
I've been doing Canadian Air Force exercises for 50 years. If I stop, for any period of time, I get the same result. Back pain, muscle stiffness, low stamina, shortness of breath. I assumed this is why I began my regimen in the first place. I thought it quite reasonable that my body went back to the lack of stimulation. Your findings may have nothing to do with RT, maybe just your body crying out for some TLC. (?)
Nice job on your videos.
Thanks, Clearwater, Fl.
Hey, yes great insight. Maybe I need to do this experiment again!
Thanks for sharing Alex, I totally believe in light therapy! It's SO good for us, can't wait to get my first one, I've been watching your vids to decide on a small one to start off with! Follow up video would be great!

Red light therapy is a non-negotiable undertaking for me every morning as it enhances oxygen utilization & generates ATP too.
Yup, so many benefits. Not just the acute spot treatment benefits (it's just for most that is the more obvious, easy to quantify benefit)
That was kind of sad to hear. It didn't CURE your back, it just kept the pain away. I wonder if DMSO or Methylene Blue would CURE or just stop the pain? Who knows?
Maybe. I think I need to address the fundamental root cause of the pain.
There is no CURE for mechanically fuking up your body unless it's minor and reversible.
I ordered a pretty pricy small red light device. I can't wait to try it out.
Oh how interesting! It’s good to hear that you are noticing changes. Yes please on the follow up! :)
I'll get on to it!
Hi Jennifer - my follow up video is now live - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html - I hope you find it interesting :)
Thanks for the experiment. I was hoping however that the photobiomodulation treatments would permanently solve the problem (like the tooth sensitivity you had). The fact that the pain returned suggests the pbm doesn't solve the root cause. Maybe it's just an anesthetic?

I'd rather have the RLT for more cell energy, improved attitude, reduced pain to do better workouts, better oxygenation of everything including the brain, improved health, better skin, etc. Maybe his strength and endurance improvements using RLT put more stress on the muscles and joints and THAT is what he is feeling. As a lifetime weight lifter since age 12 (I'm 68 now),, I gave up the very heavy dead lifts 600+lbs, squats 550+lbs and bench presses 375+lbs 20 years ago because I began to see changes in joint and ligament pain that was worse if I continued at those levels. I'm in this for the long term health benefits, not trying to prove how strong I can get. Unlike some of my weight lifting and running friends that had several injuries, I DON'T need knee replacement surgery, hip replacement, back surgery, shoulder surgery, etc. I think the benefits of RLT far out weigh any negatives, and that includes pain relief because life is a pain. And yes Alex, a follow up would be very good.
Hey. Yeah there could be some truth to what you said. I know that the back issue is a mechanical issue (some imbalances through the hip etc) and something I've been dealing with for 10 years now. Likewise with the tooth pain - one of the issues is from a high receding gum on one tooth. I'm not sure what caused this but dentists have told me there is nothing I can do about it so I have to deal with the pain - they recommend using a sensitive chemical laden tooth paste. The RLT is a much more 'safer' option.
But yes a 600lb deadlift (what i was doing last year) at 35 years old is starting to take it's toll!!
I will be doing a follow up video in a few weeks :)

thank you for putting your health in peril to do a testimonial for red light therapy.
🙂 Your welcome
This video seems to indicate that RLT is just a temporary solution (or covers up symptoms such as pain) and does not really resolve root cause to prevent re-occurrence. That's fine if accurate (so people can get temporary relief anyways) but it's disappointing that there is limited or no long term healing with RLT for chronic conditions. Perhaps some conditions achieve more long term healing such as scars, improves immune system, possibly speed up healing etc.. but chronic conditions would not achieve long term benefit from what I can tell. A video on which conditions are improved/masked temporarily versus which conditions have longer term benefit would be welcomed. Still a good tool to have IR in your health arsenal but it's not a silver bullet. Thanks for the videos, transparency and education as usual.
Hey.
Yes it is an interesting result.
I will make a clarification in my follow up video that the main 'pain points' I have (my lower back and teeth) are issues that probably need surgery to remedy. So the RLT is great at helping to manage these issues without surgery.
Here is a comment I posted that may help explain this in more detail (until my follow up video is out)
Yes it is a good point. Though I do have some thoughts on this which I will cover in my follow up video.

Yeah maybe!
It seems like the red light also enhances your mood and joyfulness
I think so!
Thank you for putting your life at risk and doing this dangerous experiment for the sake of science. 😅
But seriously, thank you for the information. For some reason the information on withdrawal effects seems more valuable than information on benefits of RLT. It kinda solidifies the empirical evidence.
Haha thanks!
I would love to know how you use the red light therapy for sensitive teeth? Do you expose your teeth? Or do you think you’re getting benefits to your teeth when standing at the panel even with your mouth closed? Thank you so much for all your wealth of information!
I think teeth need to be exposed, although research leans towards many wavelengths penetrating deeply.
It’ll be very interesting to see the follow up video!

Hi Kahlia - my follow up video is now live - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html - I hope you find it interesting :)
@@LightTherapyInsiders thanks!
Alex, this was a good study. I would like to ask you what I think is an important question. Do you think/ do you know if using RLT has ONLY provided pain relief, somehow suppressed the pain receptors while under that the underlying issues are still there and getting worse? I know we have pain receptors to tell us when we need to attend to the parts of the body, but if we use RLT and do not get the normal danger signaling and we keep going, not addressing the core issue of the problems, then would you determine that RLT is not really a healing modality, but just a pain suppressor? How can we really know? and... it sounds like once you use these panels you must use them for the rest of your life, actual healing does not occur? I'm curious what you think. Thank you
Hey. If you check out my answers to other questions, you will see my detailed response to your question. But in a nutshell - the issues I have require surgery to fix. So I don't expect RLT to cure them.
Thanks Alex. Can you provide any links to the questions and answers as I scanned here and did not see anything similar so you might mean in other video posts, which could be like looking for a needle in a haystack. I do appreciate your guidance as this decision should not be a knee-jerk response, it should be thoughtfully processed.
Thx for the video
Alex do you think is RLT masking pain and therefore causing more injury long term?
RLT more of a mask and less of a cure?
Would love to know this too. Is R LT counterproductive in the long term.
Hey. I just posted a response to a similar question so I'll repost it here as it does a good job of sharing my thoughts on this:
Yes it is a good point. Though I do have some thoughts on this which I will cover in my follow up video. Pretty much when I look at my two main pain points - my back and my teeth - both of them are not 'wounds' or issues that can simply heal. The back is a structural/movement issue - which requires either surgery or ongoing mobility/movement work. The light seems to help with the pain - especially when my back was aggravated.
The tooth - well there are two issues here. One is the sensitive/receding gums - again this is something that can't 'heal' or 'regrow' on it's own. I have to either use a chemical laden paste to help with the pain, get surgery (though my case isn't bad enough for that) or just live with it. The light helps eliminate the pain so I can eat and drink normally, and don't need to use the pastes etc.
The other tooth pain is unusual - as it's a new issue. I was wondering if it needs a filling - so I booked a dental visit for next week. But do you know whats funny, it's been two weeks now since I've been back using RLT and that pain has pretty much disappeared. So now I'm super curious to see what the dentist says. because if there is a hole there - then maybe i wouldn't' know about it because the RLT masked it. And if there is no hole or no issues there - then maybe there was a problem but RLT has helped repair it?? IDK. Stay tuned though I'll post a follow up video in a few weeks time :)

Do you clench? Your hygiene might be A+ but if you clench it’s like you working out your muscles. Your teeth and gums will feel sore. Basically you are flexing jaw muscles for extended period of time. Are you stressed? People who grind you see it on their teeth but people who clench it will show up as soreness. Maybe the IRT was easing your stress and helped you stop clenching? Just a thought. Cheers
Clench - i don't know? Is this something one would do during the day? I don't think I do. I know my dentist has said there are signs of grinding. I'm not sure what caused the high gum points, my sister has the same issue but a lot worse.
@@LightTherapyInsiders it could be brushing too hard. Try using your non dominant hand to brush unless you have an electric brush. Gum recession can also be caused by clenching or grinding as well. The stress from the pressure may contribute to it. Grinding usually happens at night but clenching can happen during sleep and during the day. I’m am no dentist just have worked in all specialties chair side. You can bring it up to your dentist and ask for professional advise. We have a patients that wear a mouth guard day and night. That might be overkill for you just try to be conscious and keep your jaw relaxed. I practice keeping my tongue to the roof my mouth and relax my jaw. It helps.
Hi Alex, what particular light box would you recommend or clients highly recommend for severe anxiety. I understand that different light boxes have different features etc and are better quality etc....just wanting to go straight for the jugular here & get the ultimate results.
Thanks for your expertise & dedication...Much Gratitude 🙏
Hey, I'm not doctor and I also don't know anything about anxiety. What I can say though is 1) check this video out - ua-cam.com/video/sm8F5xe59Iw/v-deo.html and 2) make a post in our FB group - facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders as other's may be able to provide some recommendations based on their experiences.
Yes please
It will be out next week :)
Hi Laurelyn - my follow up video is now live - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html - I hope you find it interesting :)
Hmmm. Makes me wonder if the red light is the placebo effect. You may have become psychologically dependent on the light.

Try carnovore
Definitely do a follow up from this, very curious. QUESTION: The gap between the four biomax 900 panels is there worry of a loss of RLT to the body where those gaps are? Would you tilt the panels inward slightly?
I will do!
Check this video out - ua-cam.com/video/g0uZ-prIvPc/v-deo.html - it should help you with your question :)

Did u use red light in open mouth for gums?
I have in the past yes - I opened my mouth and let all the light shine in :) But I had some issues on the side as well - so I turned my head so it was square to the panel and shined the light onto my cheek. It also worked well.
@@LightTherapyInsiders I still don't get what red light does, other than help the skin, which is not important to me. If it increases release of stem cells, OK. It it helps the inner organs, OK. I use a hand-held red light device, and it did not help with the pain in my left arm near elbow. I think I hurt a tendon. I do not see an improvement. It does make me feel better if shined in my closed eyes. The brightness kind of makes me feel like I am in bright sunshine, but not convinced it has any benefits other than making me feel a bit more optimistic.
I believe in red light therapy 100%. I’ve been using mine for about five days now and I see a difference in my sleep my back pain my skin my mood my hormones within just five days. My question is I have the box size one it’s maybe 12 or 13“ x 10“ I don’t even really know it’s one that’s bigger than my face. It hangs on the back of my door. I have to place it upper part of my body and then do my lower part of my body, then turn around and use upper back and then lower portion. Is it better just to get the full body one rather than this one the price difference is only $400 so I’m not sure if I should invest into a bigger one or just keep this one and just keep doing what I’m doing
Hey, if you're seeing benefits I would keep doing what you're doing!!
If you do want to enjoy the benefits of RLT across more areas of the body, and are happy spending the $ then yeah I would get a larger panel. but again - if you're seeing great results with what you have then you may be fine as is :)
Alex, what panel/device would you recommend for shoulders? I'm about to undergo shoulder surgery and would like to incorporate red light into my rehab.
Get a wide panel. Somethign like a BioMax 900. Or two of them. See my quad setup here - ua-cam.com/video/GiFXlGhPlZc/v-deo.html
Alternatively - get a body panel and put it on it's side - so you get full shoulder to shoulder coverage.
OR you could get a handheld device - ua-cam.com/video/Kg8vU9_It0Q/v-deo.html and use that to 'spot treat'. The shoulders, but it will take more time. They cost less though
Bought the BIOMAX Series 900 about 4 weeks ago. I cant say I have seen much progress with energy and inflammation issues. Anyone have a comment on how ling it took before you could notice any progress?
This is different for everyone. I have seen members in my Facebook group state as little as two weeks and others as much as 3 months. facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders
What happened after stopping Red light therapy? Did you meet positive result or more worsen?
Hey, did you watch the video?
@@LightTherapyInsiders you told back pain and other issues came back after stopping red life ght. This makes me little bit confusion
Thanks Alex! Watched your videos and bought Mito Pro 300 over buying the OmniLux Face Red Light Mask as I can use the panel on other parts of the body. A question on whether it’s ok to leave the room light on when using the panel or it gives best results with no room light on? Thanks!
Hey nice work!
Oh you can leave the room light on, it won't make a difference :)
@@LightTherapyInsiders thanks so much Alex!
It sounds like the red light therapy is a temporary healing rather for a permanent healing.
Yeah check out my response to some other questions on this topic.
That's not so good bro. But if it increases ATP mitochondria invitro cells, of which there are 150 trillion , then I wouldn't expect overall health benifits declining to the point where you would feel so bad. Depends on the issue, if it's an injury then yeah , but the red light will have long term effects.
Yeah I have my follow up video coming out next week - there I share some interesting insights
How do you know what kind to get?? I bought one for like 80$ then was told it's fake red light!!
I recommend buying from a company that has been in the business for a bit.
Are these LED ? If they are is it safe as I thought LED were not thanks
Hey, yes LEDs. Why did you think LED's aren't safe?
I want your room of panels !!! Lol
Lol - it's a mess. Cables every where
Hi Alex have you or others ever heard anyone get positive results with RLT and prostrate inflammation? or other prostrate issues like benign enlarged prostrate? or reducing frequency issues?
Hey. A quick search in this database - aferg.co/science - for the term 'Prostate' did find some beneficial outcomes from RLT
I stopped using the red light mask for about 8 weeks and my skin was thin and lacking structure.
Which mask ?
Is that because the mask did that to your face?
@@katdunn7934 No my skin was already aging. Started using red light again and my skin bounced back in about 4 weeks.
@@briechilli4496 the one I have is omnilux. It took me a while to finally make the purchase because it’s pretty pricey.
@Jennifer Rodriguez that's awesome! Maybw I'll start. 54 and getting some definite face wrinkles and my neck too. Glad to hear something actually helps. :)
Does redlight lesson appearance of cellulite
I've heard people say that it does, but I'm not sure what the science shows on this matter so I'll look into it.
This is disturbing news to me because it means we are dependent on our red light therapy and all the benefits are temporary.
Hey.
Yes it is an interesting result.
I will make a clarification in my follow up video that the main 'pain points' I have (my lower back and teeth) are issues that probably need surgery to remedy. So the RLT is great at helping to manage these issues without surgery.
Here is a comment I posted that may help explain this in more detail (until my follow up video is out)
Yes it is a good point. Though I do have some thoughts on this which I will cover in my follow up video. Pretty much when I look at my two main pain points - my back and my teeth - both of them are not 'wounds' or issues that can simply heal. The back is a structural/movement issue - which requires either surgery or ongoing mobility/movement work. The light seems to help with the pain - especially when my back was aggrevated.
The tooth - well there are two issues here. One is the sensitive/receding gums - again this is something that can't 'heal' or 'regrow' on it's own. I have to either use a chemical laden paste to help with the pain, get surgery (though my case isn't bad enough for that) or just live with it.

I'm getting a red light tabletop device, but consider that I can add a panel later. What should I do?
Buy a panel from the same company and make sure it has modular support.
Which panel is best for pain ???
Hey, thats a good question - I'll have to do a video on it. In the meantime check this out - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html - I hope you find it interesting :)
But any panel with a decent amount of red and NIR light should help with pain.
Mohu poprosit... české titulky?
What about emf radiation?
What about it? Did his third leg disappear?
Omg skin cancer is no joke. Get the sunscreen/ upf clothing on
Noted thank you :)
Has a follow-up video been made yet?
Hey.
Yes I just finished filming it :) It's with my editor now and should be out next week. Be sure to subscribe to be notified of it's release :)
Hi Tricia - my follow up video is now live - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html - I hope you find it interesting :)
You can't attribute everything that's come on to just red light therapy. You also haven't been exercising your muscles as much as they were used to. I did red light therapy for many years then moved to somewhere where it wasn't available. I did notice changes but nothing as significant as yours and I have fibromyalgia.
Yes this is a good point and I need to mention that in my follow up video.
I stopped training over the holidays - so this is a big variable. I also stopped doing my mobility work - so this could have contributed to the back pain as well.
Sounds like body is becoming dependent on red light. Maybe even loosing its ability to heal and recover naturally.
Here is my follow up video with a few more insights - ua-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/v-deo.html
@@LightTherapyInsiders thank I did watch it and that video makes my opinion even firmer. I believe any intense stimulation from outside manipulation or substance changes us. We adopt to anything good or bad. And then we mutate.
so whats this guy trying to sell ? not sure i have the patience for creatine abuser dribble
Seriously - why the nastiness? I'm not selling anything - I'm just sharing my experiences.
you just getting old dude 😅
Haha yes... there is that as well :'(
