This is quite fascinating and shocking at the same time. Well done to Glen Jeffrey for doing this research and raising this serious public health question. Thank you for showing this film and research. 15 years ago or so, I developed ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and this would have been around the time that we began to change our lighting at home to LED. Maybe just a coincidence, but I always felt better outside and especially in the summer, and the more time I am in the sun, the better I feel. Last summer I felt that I had recovered from ME/CFS, but as winter approached my health and energy divebombed again. Happily I have just purchased a red light panel, and I now plan to buy a full spectrum bulb for my main room. It will be my own experiment on myself to see if things change over time.
Absolutely phenomenal presentation. It has filled a gap I had in my mind about the *demonstrated* effects of NIR on mitochondrial function. Brilliant stuff.
I come from India. I have a PhD in Physics. I am a Hindu. In Hindu tradition, Sun (Surya) is a main deity. HIS chariot is drawn by seven horses representing seven colors of light. There is a ritual, called Surya-pranam, means saluting (pranam) the Sun (Surya). The practice is to wake up before the rise of the Sun, go outside and face the Sun with eyes closed and folded hands. I never practiced it myself. Now I understand the health benefit of it. I live in London and will try to practice it as much as I can. Hope my diabetes will go down and power level go up.
A wonderful comment. I studied Hinduism many years ago in high school and in my twenties. Many thanks. Bear in mind that skeletal muscle cells (myocytes), when exercising, do not require insulin to drive glucose into the cell. Knowing this, and having the time, type 2 diabetes can be reversed along with change in diet. I have known bodybuilders with type 1 diabetes who have gone into the gym specifically with this in mind. Best wishes from Newport beach, California.
If i may, I'd like to offer a couple of suggestions to eliminate diabetes. must reduce /(eliminate over time): carbs (glucose), milk (lactose) and fruit (fructose) and increase animal fat/proteins via eggs, butter and meats (fatty not lean). Sugar is cause of 99% of all diseases. Fasting is miraculous. once/twice a month 1-3 days as you can handle. I've been on an OMAD for over 2yrs. Off all meds and I feel better than i did at 25...am more than twice that age. Reach out if you'd like. best wishes. I am not sure if due to religious restrictions you are able to follow/consider my suggestions.
Research mega dosing vitamin B1. All diabetics are deficient in vitamin B1. By supplementing my husband is no longer on insulin or any diabetic meds God bless
Phenomenally interesting. I work in the residential building science industry. For so long, the focus has been on energy efficiency, but some of us are recognizing that the built environment needs to be healthy first, then efficient. Thank you sharing your findings.
@@wendyg8536 AFAIK, ordinary window glass at least strongly attenuates (weakens the intensity, amount of radiant energy that gets thru) ultra-violet wavelengths. I don't think ordinary window glass attenuates any of the red -- OR IR (infra-red) wavelengths to any significant degree. Ordinary window glass definitely does not differentially attenuate any visible light wavelengths to a very great degree - tho' some glass for architectural use (such as windowglass) does have a very slight greenish cast to it, when viewed along its EDGE. Point is, i think the 'blockage' (to the degree it does so, which is significant) you've heard about is of the UV wavelengths. You can't get much - if ANY - suntan from even midday sun thru ordinary window glass. (There are special kinds of glass which DO transmit UV wavelengths - but those are laboratory-type (expensive!) materials...)
@@Dreamopticsredlightglasses as i wrote in my reply to another comment for this presentation, there are already LOTS of "Red" light LEDs - even for quite a few wavelengths well into the IR portion of the spectrum (but not down in the longest-wavelength areas of the IR spectrum). And, IR wavelengths (NOT so much those in the VISIBLE part of the "light" spectrum!) are most likely to be the wavelengths that MAY have therapeutic benefits. BUT -- ALL IR LEDs are VASTLY more expensive, and produce FAR less "heat" (which is what IR radiation IS) than the MUCH simpler methods of using ordinary incandescent HEAT LAMPs - and even better, operating those incandescent heat lamps at a voltage at least a few percent below their RATED operating voltage! (The greater the operating voltage reduction, the farther the peak incandescent wavelength is shifted 'downward' (toward LONGER wavelengths) - and therefore the greater % of the heat lamp's energy that will be in the IR, rather than the visible, portions of the spectrum. And any such incandescent heat lamp - even operated at an AC voltage reduced by, say 25% (a bit less than 100V for a 120-VAC rated lamp) will produce multiple TIMES the heat energy of the most powerful IR LED! Perhaps 3-5 TIMES (300-500%) more...
This explains why my husband with Parkinson’s can’t walk as soon as he goes through the front door of a Costco or Wallmart. I kept the lights off as much as possible in the house. Now I’m going on a search for the old bulbs.
Red Light Therapy is also very effective... I have kittens thriving by giving them RLD thru a towel above the birthing box... turning it on/off, up/down according to their mamma cats indications.
Was thinking the same thing about how I felt ill after going into a Sam’s club. Five minutes and I had to get out of there. I knew it was the lighting but didn’t know why.
Not very often do I have my mind blown by a totally new idea, but this is one. And it makes total sense. This is why the Scandinavians like saunas so much. And I was studying the role of the electron transport system of the mitochondria and understanding that coenzyme Q10 was essential, but another video said that CoQ10 was formed naturally in the bloodstream by eating green vegetables and being in the sunshine.
It's true that an electric light can produce infrared, and it's also true that convected heat in the form of steam is not the same as infrared, but the walls of a sauna will be producing infrared light that you will be able to detect by your skin. If, by putting your hand up in front of your face, you are able to protect your face from heat coming in, that heat is radiant heat- and therefore infrared. A thermal imaging camera would show the walls of the sauna giving out this heat.
@@ottokroupa7379 no. there's nothing special about electricity producing the radiant heat. If you've been in a sauna, you will know that the walls are hot. They are radiating infrared. You can put your hand out and feel the heat, or you could use a thermal imaging camera. Heat is either radiant - you can feel it from a distance, convection - from the steam or air, or conduction- by touch. You get all three in a sauna.
why did you waste your money on LEDs? When it is incandescent that you need? A 100w red infared bulb and fitting will cost approx £25 from a farming supplies store. You undoubtedly got taken for hundreds of pounds with this silly LED devices.
We should get back filament lamps reclassified as room heaters. They produce more IR than UV and visible light. Cost of lighting may go up a bit. But cost from diabetes etc. will go down.
I couldn't agree more. And to add insult to injury, LED blue light is the last thing you want to expose yourself to in the evening. Excellent comment. I have a box of filament light bulbs and never use anything else.
If we used the old fashioned income decent bulbs then we would be healthier, but that's not what the powers that be want. The introduction of LED lighting was never about saving energy.
@@ottokroupa7379 I'm pretty sure there's only one 'power' that desires humanities destruction. All of the 'agents' that administrate the programme are just self obsessed minions.
Excellent overview. Thank you. I have seen some videos about red light therapy that suggest there is a curve of dosage in which at some point there are detrimental effects, so I wonder if you can expand on that at some point in the future. Thank you.
One small fact to add to discussion is that 10% of the human body weight is made up of mitochondria. There are approximately 10^17 mitochondria throughout the human body. The more biochemically active the cell, the more mitochondria. Adipose cells may have as few as 50 mitochondria. On the other end of the energetic spectrum, cardiomyocytes and neurons may have over 2,500 mitochondria. The human ovum has at least 250,000 mitochondria. The kidneys, spleen and liver are also quite high in mitochondrial density. These tissues typically have between 1,000 and 1,500 mitochondria. The only cell in the human body without mitochondria are mature red blood cells.
I have kidney disease. It's not life threatening yet, but it scares the hell out of me and the nephrologist told me it's impossible to restore kidney function. But I bet they've never studied red light therapy... I'm thinking of trying a combination of red light and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
10%, wow. I hear the heart has a higher or highest percentage of them. It's fascinating to realize that the point of oxygen, is that it has an electrical charge. Electrons we need for energy. Oxygen is acidic, has extra electrons. Our air is like a giant battery that we process, the acid in our internal batteries to get these extra electrons. (Said imperfectly).
@@fusion9619new to the US but very old science to Russia. Look into bio regulators and peptides. Kidney disease can definitely be reversed. My wife was on dialysis three times a week 4 hours each time. Her doctor had to cut her time in half because we were restoring kidney function using immune system stimulation. You can regain your kidney function.
What about a revival of incandescent lights? They radiate both visible and infrared. They were "less efficient" in making visible light (hence the move to LEDs), but they also made infrared (which is why they were hot). They were generally of a "warm white" colour temperature and so better for evening use i.e. with little of the blue end of the visible spectrum - which can supress melatonin production in the pineal gland, so hence better to use before going to sleep.
Yes, yes, yes, very good summaries of a whole lot of extremely important 'hints' about public health... and about personal massive concerns yearning to convey to friends, relatives, and potential friends in the whole world! Chronic disease progressions are running wild, and many 'treatments' are available (even largely for free) if we convey the current science known, adequately to allow some life-style adjustments. Thank you!!
Thank you. I wished you had touched on the role of melatonin in mitochondria as the free radical scavengers, which is produced in response to IR light. So mitochondria stay healthy because of melatonin's action.
It’s amazing that these scientists can look at the complex design found in cells and the different mechanisms and how they work together and then turn around and ascribe all of that to chance and evolution…
Yes, their blind faith in evolution/chaos theory, is amazing- There are no missing, Missing Links,& DNA is a sophisticated, code/language which takes a Mind/Creator God to have bioengineered. No amount of billions of years, can change the odds for evolution: it's Nil-
@@eirecoleenit is actually hilarious when you see accurate animations of how proteins form machines and then copy blueprints to assemble organelles... it all literally runs like clockwork and flies, zooms and teleports against the second law of thermodynamics but any mention of design, let alone a watchmaker and the grand inquisition of lucky pants is wheeled out to demonstrate what a REAL religion looks like!
I find it humorous that when humans reach the step of independent cognition which enables them to reconcile ancient descriptions of Creator God as highest Wisdom, many subscribers to fringe denominational theologies are offended. Truly, God has not permitted a grain of bread seed, even that which has been choked by the (seed of ' the enemy')to be absent from the angels' harvests. Thank you God for causing our brains to store up knowledge- truly awesome for those who love God. Do good with your knowledge, it is borrowed from the Higher power of God to get us through difficulties.
This partly why people feel so great after a day at the beach. Salty air, vitamin d, light rays over all their body, connected to the ground, hence grounding, unique microbiome exposures etc etc
We need private healthcare with private insurance competing for us. And we will see the biggest medical leap forward in healthcare and treatments I can’t wait for this to happen you guys are awesome real drs.
Thats a matter of facts vs stupid ketard propganda. Burning fat for fuel is inferior. Its a backup process. Dame amount of ennergy needs 30 % more oxygen and produces much less CO2. CO2 is the most effective anti oxidant. It has a ton of benefits on so many things in the body. CO2 maxing is a thing. In fact, CO2 therapy in combination with red light therapy is unbeatabale for a long healthspan.
Google tells me 'Basically, the human body turns over its weight in ATP daily' but the basic molecule is not created from scratch each time, it is recycled from 1000 to 1500 times a day.
But if mitochondria is recycled incorrectly we get cancer-. We know ultra violet causes mutations and cancer. Is this protective? Could people expose to red light have better results or less symptoms for chemo? Love to see some rat studies in this
What a wonderful update on data proving the harm of artificial lighting. thank you! I bet if incandescents are advertised as a weight loss remedy better than any diet known, the public demand may begin to tip the scales to allow them in our stores again.
Fantastic info! Had thought about diet, exercise, fresh air, sleep, stress reduction, love...but missed the most important contributor to health: sunlight!😊
What a fantastic presentation. Thank you. I started using light 💡 Therapy last year, and been introducing my client to it, and it has made a positive difference. The protocol is doing rounds of 4 minutes, so what you said about the timing at the end makes perfect sense. What was said about the eco bulbs vs the filament version is a worry, and sounds like a move in the wrong direction.
@@danielfck in the UK, I did a search for them yesterday in terms of domestic use, and several come up. They start at £7 for a bulb, and upwards of £120 for a handheld device. If you are in the UK, it looks like Holland & Barrett are having a sale, a lamp reduced from £27, to £21.50.
Wish there was a pointer or cursor to specify which charts he is talking about. He knows, but only when he describes the position on the screen am I positive about which one it is.
Seems it could be said that the mitochondria are the mother of mankind. It's so weird, I just remembered I had seen a short video about how to make a diy voltage detector that lights up when in the proximity of a current! The mitochondria of our cells come exclusively from our mothers with rare exception to the rule. The mitochondria obviously communicate with one another in the body. Considering the aimiliarity of all mitochondria throughout all mankind and the inverse square law and that all these kabillions of mitochondria exist within the same boundary condition as the magnetosphere of the Earth which is the aura of the Earth. It would seem likely to me that the whole some of the mitochondria of man communicate within the body of the Earth as the mitochondria would seem to be the predominant influence of the aura of each person on Earth which is the boundary condition of our personal current which would inevitably light up any other system of the same nature.
39:40 most red light devices are set at 20 - 30 mins to automatic shut off. Are they all mistaken, and should be set at 3 minutes? Very important question to answer. I have Parkinson's. I have been trying to get clear info/guidance as to how long to use these devices after hearing about the biphasic dose response, and possible harm done from overuse. I started a few years back with a Celluma Pro device that runs red 645, near infrared 880, at 40hz. Added a Symbyx hand held laser unit (specific for PD) that completes a 20 minute cycle with 10, 2 min. uses on 9 points over the gut, 1 on the back of the neck, base of skull. And just got a Vielight MIP with led bulbs clipped to the nostrils; red 633, infrared 810, blue 470 (anti bacterial/viral) and red laser 655. Only 2 are used at a time. I need to know, am I harming myself by letting these units run until auto shut off? There is research backing all of these units.
Hi Dr Jeffrey, I have watched three of your videos now and I have enjoyed them. I have Osteria arthritis in my left hip and I'm looking for ways to treat it rather than get a total hip replacement, as my doctor wants me to do. However, none of your videos give us viewers specific red light therapy device names for us to buy. As you know there are dozens and dozens probably hundreds of different red light therapy models available to buy. So it's very frustrating shopping for something that I really don't know which one to buy as I do not have the specs on the device you are using. I'll keep watching for more of your videos. I've already emailed you about this issue but have not gotten a reply. I'm sure there are thousands of other people like me who need this vital Information to purchase a reliable red light therapy device that meets your approval. Thank you very much.
I've done lots of research on this and Mito Red seems to be the most popular company that people have good results with. Like you, I'm interested in hip regeneration. The Mito Red Pro X panels have an added amber light which is suppose to regenerate bone. Hope this helps you....but do your own research.
I'm mathematically curious about the professor's statement of how the body produces its own body weight in ATP every day. He must have meant another energy consumption formula, entirely, because obviously, we don't consume food equal daily to our daily weight, nor does converted daily energy from food equal our body weight, and thus he must have meant something similar to watts or kilowatts per hour. What else does the well-intending professor get wrong in this mini-lecture, I wonder? But I will listen to the rest of it with a very open mind, as I have for the last 38 years in health research and postulation.
That is because mitochondria do not produce ATP from nothing, mitochondria takes an "uncharged" version of ATP and "recharges" it, so it is like a rechargable battery, if you recharge a battery 10 times it doesn't mean that you have produced 10 batteries. So yes saying that the body produces your body weight in ATP every day can be a bit of a misnomer.
Thank you Dr. Jeffery and The Light Review for this important and informative presentation. This is among my top 10 favorite presentations about mitochondria and the importance of red light.
Thanks very much for this video. I really found an interesting experiment to do on myself. I am a 66 years old male. I have been diagnosed with diabetes. My eyesight is getting worse. My power level has significantly gone down. I feel tired very easily. I have not been putting on weight as I do not eat much and I have about a 12 hour fast from 7 PM to 7 AM next day. I am going to get a red/IR lamp and I will expose my back side to about 30 minutes of that light and see what happens to me. I will also try to stay in Sun as more as possible. Will I feel more energetic or not? Will my sight improve or not?
Obviously Paul you did not see the blood sugar reaction to Blue light… people can do well on diet alone but never completely recover due to blue light exposure… light is the foundation..,
Fascinating! Identifying the Goldilocks combo of light spectrums to “Feed” humans daily would be amazing! I’ve heard studies starting to look at human photosynthesis, and melanin light spectrum studies. We know the ozone changes impact the light humans get outside, causing more harm with what we need. As we look to future Mars exploration, etc. this is critical!
Being starved of red light is all by design. I challenged my local council about the LED situation in 2018 and after they tried the Delphi technique on me and it failed, i became a person of interest. I was then gifted LED street lights all around my house even though their installation was not in keeping with policy because the old lights were not broken or damaged, the poles were in good health and i lived in a small cul-de-sac, they went a head and installed them, but only around my house. When i asked the installers for the model numbers of the lights, the man was advised that he was forbidden to tell me! The parasites know exactly what these lights do and that is why Incandescents are being banned from 2027. Make Incandenscents Great Again!!!
it is safe if the power is low see our glasses, if more powerful no, from what professor Jeffery has said before you should not shine bright red light into your eyes, I have quite a bright red light lamp and professor Jeffery said stand 12 feet from it, you should not stare directly at the sun
So should we always have screen blue light protection, not only in the evening? What about sunglasses, I thought they were bad for health? What about normal glasses - should they have blu light filter? What about IR sauna - does it have the same affect as IR light pannels or ..? Thank you!
this information which makes complete sense to me as I learn more about eating for metabolic health. After years of extreme carb restriction, carnivore diet and intermittent fasting, I managed to wreck my metabolism and reduce myself to heart and kidney failure. Initially keto and carnivore produced good results eg T2 diabetes glucose control, inflammatory arthritis pain gone etc. However, I eventually couldn’t walk, think or do anything that required even minimal effort. Recent reintroduction of carbs and sunlight have been transformative in just days! I’m swimming and walking again and so grateful to people like you guys and Ray Peat for helping me to a basic understanding of ATP importance. Thank you.
Oh no, I did the same as you, but luckily carnivore only for a few months, I stopped because I put on so much weight. I hope you are feeling better now.
If you go for a walk in the park, do you have to be showing skin? is it OK to wear long sleeves, pants sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat? Do the beneficial waves of light go through clothing? Also, why not just supplement with a red light device?
To all your initial questions: nope, sunlight doesn't penetrate clothes, sunglasses etc. To your last question: yes, up to a point. Sunlight has the full quotient of healthful rays -otherwise human existence would never have made it this far on planet earth!
actually from the research I have seen, clothing can make a difference, for example denim will block light much more than cotton or polyester, so if you wear 2 layers of denim you will not get hardly any light, colour also makes some difference, wear blue or light shade and you get more, obviously longer frequency penetrates deeper as professor Jeffery said, if you just wear one layer of clothing it does not make much difference, you still get the light
Very interesting, thanks. FYI, We do have LEDs that do IR; we use them commonly on cameras. for surveillance at night. The issues is the "wasted" power. And even when they do emit its normally not huge power as the cameras a sensitive at in that range so a little IR light goes a long way.
Great, great info What is the effect of true IR, ie.. Pure heat I sit under invisible IR LAMPS NIGHTLY.. I can barely see a deep red in the dark.. Is this the right idea
I have an LED lamp that apparently produces light at 660nm and 850nm - hopefully this might be doing some good? I also have a 300 watt incandescent IR therapy lamp - maybe this is even better, and produces a bit more of the IR spectrum??
Fascinating vid , The coloured wave lengths are very interesting… my child at a young age put blue into the hot colour range thinking the blue flame is hotter than the red flame , is this why it helps to create aging ? Is blue wave length hotter … ? As a young child yrs ago, sick confined to bed, my mother used either a red or blue incandescent light bulb in my room only so not so bright, I used to tell her which one I felt I needed, not until this vid had I thought about again Also does this affect Vit D levels ?
wow! amazing , thank you The Light Review and Professor Glen Jeffery, that is an amazing explanation, how important is red light, do computer screens give off blue light? (I know some of the new ones have 'warm ' functions, especially at night, doesn't sound like that makes much difference though)
Yes screens are all blue- he’s not addressing that in this study- there are apps like iris to mimic the spectrum and blue blocking glasses to wear etc- again not the point of this myopic study for general public health- go search other light discussions for better personal steps you can take- Dr Alexis Cowan is a good one who studies under Jack Jruse and is opening a light laboratory at penn State or Princeton
Very very interesting - thank you !!! A comment from Berlin : We bought old ',fashioned' light bulbs when the change came to store them ..... At a nice autum day around these times there was a scientific talk of an ophtalmologist about the harmful consequences of exposure to b l u e light - (( f.example when an older person usually reads next to his blue light reading lamp, and is getting more and more problems with his eyesight)) - and how much better it was if the person sat next to a lamp with more red light. May I utter a request ? I would love to learn about daily consequences - going out in the morning and what else ? What about these red light lamps for times of having a cold ....? Could we use *these* to give energy to our poor mitochondria ? Could the individuals suffering from the genetic treatment during the last 3 years who are suffering from mitochondrial fatigue use such lamps ?
I like the reference to the ‘genetic treatment’. We need to ‘throw some light’ on what has happened to people who thought they were doing the right thing in 2021.
I have cancer. (Also diabetes) I’m doing therapeutic keto. Trying to keep the glucose down but this still looks healthful because light helps vitamin D levels. I’d love your thoughts for cancer on that. How do the rats die? If they have cancer does red light help? What about the cheap red lights. Do they still work?
Studies have shown that its not just 670nm that work but even 630 eg. 633nm diodes are brilliant for wound healing too. Don't get too hung up on specific wavelengths as other diodes in the red and NIR spectrum are also highly beneficial. As long as you are using them often enough with an effective dose, there will be mitochondrial stimulation and more ATP. Diabetics with impaired healing and risk of leg/foot ulcers and diabetic neuropathy should be told about this modality, its been around for years. Key mechanism was discovered in 1995 by Russian Scientist Tiina Karu. Sadly NHS are not interested because it works 🥺
To your last question: I wouldn't think so, as Vet clinics once had the best type for healing animals in recovery - Philips infra-red globe. No longer made? But can be sourced second-hand 😊
Thank you both for sharing this very interesting and extremely informative and as well as essential info. Out of curiosity, are there still benefits of natural lighting in absences of direct sunlight? for example: light or dark clouds, etc.
I have been using photobiomodulation for my diabetes for about 7 years. You didn't say when lights are used to minimize blood sugar spikes! Was light used before glucose tolerance test, during or after? I use 20- 30 minutes daily.
Different bulbs have different impacts -yes. I would imagine screen-time also a significant effect/role. (Thinking old children and how much time they are on laptops/iPads in school) and how technology could be having an effect on the general population …thoughts please (i work in the pediatric realm).
And what about wearing red glasses - is it beneficial? Sometimes I am confused, becouse wearing blue colour glasess stimulates the right hemisphere which is more prone to nature, movement and emphaty. Red on the other hand stimulate left hemisphere where sits anger and egoism.
😊àmazing how the evolution theory is still taught as fact, its all a matter of where you put your faith, cos none of us was there millions of years ago
It's always struck me as a matter of hubris for people to think they are capable of understand the working of God. Those who wrote the books of the bible lived at a time when our world would've been completely incomprehensible. Is it possible that those to whom God spoke needed explaination in a way they could understand? Could they have understood the physics behind our ability to put satellites in orbit? I don't thik the understood geologic time. How the universe was created and life formed was explained in in a way that was understandable. Plus, the how wasn't the point at that time, only that it was God who created it. Personally, I don't think a "day" or "a day and a night" is the same for humans and God. For as much as we know now, I think if God chose to speak to someone today, he would STILL have to speak slowly and use easy words because understanding all of his creation, as well as the how and why of it are still, and likely always be, beyond our ability to fathom. Evolution makes complete sense to me. I'm just thankful we, for the mean time, live in places where people are able to disagree, there is no one idea forced on all and that there are still places where people can discuss their differing opinions without it being as if the outcome of the discussion will determine who is good and who is bad. I don't understand people's seeming need for that. Sorry this was so long. Nice chat my fellow subscriber.
@@AVTothHey 👋 Following what I've heard from others in my own inquiry as to how the Universe works I have found that the book of Genesis describes how all energy and the information it necessarily contains is transferred and transformed at every level of the Universe from the subatomic to Universal. The word "word" literally means energy in the Bible. The first page of Genesis actually says the light God called Day and the darkness he called Night. The Bible references itself over and over again so the meaning of it's words can be found with reason. Christ is referred to as the light of the world. God refers to the light as day and then says the morning and the Evening were the first day. The morning, in my opinion, refers to God's intention as the word he sends out which is reflected as what appears in his sight which is the light of the world and the life of our body which is the Universe. Universe means one verse, song, story. The light of the world is our awareness in which all things appear in the light even the night appears in the light as the Bible defines the light. Most of the words we use in everyday life describe how the Universe actually works except for the category called profane which is from the Latin meaning before the temple which means in disagreement with the template of the Universe which would the Laws of the Universe which rule the Universe and mostly are agreed with in the laws of physics. Eve is the reflection of Adam's desires. Adam named the serpent when he named the beasts of the field. Almost always in the Bible to name a thing is to define it's nature and the names in the Bible describe the nature of the characters which are states of mind. The words science choose to name things is to me a clear indicator that good is the actual ruler of the world even today. For instance, ribosomes reflect the wishes of the nucleus of a cell via messenger RNA sent through the cytoplasm. Ribosomes means rib of the body and cytoplasm means the word across the waters. Phospholipids make up the boundary condition of our cells which is what firmaments are which separate the waters from the waters and allows for the appearance of different things within one thing which we call the Universe just as Adam called the name of Eve when he saw that she was the mother of all life. Amino acids are made by ribosomes and are the fundamental building blocks of all life and these are represented as letters which are literally transcribed as messenger RNA and read by the Ribosomes and released into the cytoplasm as what appears within the cell as strings of these letters which represent particular things according to their precise order just as a word. When words are put together in logical order they tell a story which is the meaning of logical. Biology is from the Greek Bios meaning mode of life and logos meaning word. The etymology of words give their full meaning and reveal hidden meanings. Many words are combinations of smaller words as syllables which give a much greater meaning when examining individually and viewed again as a sentence. Like phospholipids means light bearer which gives form to the word as what appears in the world. Anyone can find these just by flipping through a dictionary and then googling the etymology of words especially that go together in prefix or suffix. Then we can find more by googling more information or stories about the words we find in the etymology of words. Like ascend, ascetic, and ascertain will likely lead us to find the story of Asclepius. I could go on and on. I'm happy to answer any questions about my process which I was led to by others but everyone has their own favored ways for finding information. 🙏⚕️🙏
There's lots of evolution being witnessed in smaller critters, like mice, fruit flies, and bacteria. Doesn't take much 'faith' to extrapolate that evolution and assign the same mechanism to humas
I don't understand. Clearly, the IR causes the Mios to produce energy, but the other Mios that don't get the IR are also upregulted to produce more energy. So, that means the IR is NOT neccasery for energy production,but triggers it??
I was just at the dermatologist. It’s November in PA & I have a slight tan because I am outside at sunrise & in the afternoon to help heal my mitochondria. She immediately said get out of the sun so you don’t get skin cancer. Excuse me but cancer is a mitochondria issue. When will these drs learn. Obesity, which she is is less healthy than getting sunlight
I am sorry, but I did not understand your last point at 36 minites about walking in the park. Are you saying that infra red light passes through the leaves of trees?
I think he was saying that IR is reflected off flowers (because they do not absorb it) - so if you go for a walk in the park in June (implying the presence of many flowers) you would be 'bathed' in IR from all angles...?
@4:39 yep, and that's why our body is capable of produce it's own glucose every single day, not needing exogenous intake of carbohydrates - glucose, this fabulous so well engineered process is called Gluconeogenesis
More ketard propaganda. Yeah, GNG is real, BUT: To do so, it has to raise Cortisol and Glucagon. Stress hormones. And it will prefer protein as building material. If you dont eat 200 grams or more of protein, there will not be enough protein to keep your muscles because your body has to raise stress hormones, decrease your Thyroid function to produce the glucose that it needs because some tissues cannot burn anything else than sugar.
I realized three decades ago the importance of light therapy. I have moving crystals in my morning sun and I spend a lot of time outside. I am brown and happy not white and SAD.
Would love to see Glen and Kruse mesh their knowledge together but Kruse is too overbearing listen- to these actual details. He’s all big picture which is fine but getting action is critical and nobody will listen to Kruse as he’s too arrogant and abrasive
This researcher uses the words “burst of light” indicating a shortened period of light exposure. However, his research completely ignores ‘pulsing’ light as the preferred method for delivering light into the bodies’ cells versus the non-pulsed light delivery systems this researcher exclusively utilizes. Pulsing light has been clinically shown to have more therapeutic value than shining a steady continuous wave of light to penetrate the cells. The difference is dramatic! Research has also revealed that pulsing near infrared light and red light together have yielded dramatically more effective results than the early ‘continuous wave’ method of transcranial photo therapy applications making his discussion incomplete and a sate of some very valuable research funds.
@@mikeaugust747video indicates that solar blue spectrum component at 430 nm "balances" vs 900 nm component. 8:48 thus blue cancels out red if using sunlight in terms of ATP effects. Also, you'd need to ditch clothes for full effect. IMO if ATP benefit is the objective, selective spectrum is required, either artificial with only required wavelengths or filtered sunlight to remove unwanted components.
@gprivat812_my_selection6 9 days ago @andrewmorris5947 & @rafbarkway5280 Industrial-type IR LEDs (often called 'IR Emitters') are available with peak output from ~770 nanometers (just near edge of human visibility) to about 1800nm. But there doesn't seem to be much, if anything very powerful (as much as such LEDs even can be so far) above about 940nm. And a 3 to 5 watt (input power, not IR output power which is a lot less!) IR emitter at 850 or 940 nm will cost you more than $3 each (!). Better (MUCH cheaper) to use ordinary incandescent bulbs! Now, you can shift the peak emitted wavelength region, of any incandescent bulb, to a LOT longer wavelength range, just by lowering its operating voltage, relative to its 'rated' (normal) operating voltage. Lowering the bulb's operating voltage to somewhere between half & 2/3rds of its rated voltage, will shift its peak emission band well up toward, or even into, the IR band. You can easily achieve this lower (effective) operating voltage with an ordinary incandescent light bulb dimmer. Even cheaper: connect two - or even THREE - 120V heatlamp bulbs IN SERIES electrically. You can use either 100W or 250W nominal power bulbs - buy them either online, or from places like Ace, Lowes, or Home Depot. For 2 bulbs (equal wattage!) in series, your TOTAL consumed power of both bulbs will be HALF that of a single bulb. For 3 bulbs in series, it will be 3x 1/9th (total of one-third) that of a single bulb (3 pcs 250W will produce only ~83W when they're connected in series). Your peak wavelength will still be in the visible spectrum (shorter than ~700nm), but the fraction of the total radiant output that's in the IR region (longer than ~700nm) will be a LOT higher, than what it is with those bulbs operated at their rated voltage. (The peak emission - and overall emission spectrum shift - will be significantly greater with the 3 bulbs in series, than just two; tho' the total power consumption (and heat energy emitted) is less w/ the 3 bulbs.) And the bulbs will last a LOT longer, too. :) * * * you DEFINITELY want to use HEATlamps - they have a good reflective surface on the interior of the bulb, so more of the heat energy is 'aimed' at you, rather than dispersing into the rest of the space you're in (more good healthy impact for you (assuming this beneficial effect on our mitochondria is valid for us humans, too), with less heat energy dispersed elsewhere into your surroundings). It would be easiest to achieve the series wiring with "pigtail" lightbulb sockets - but those aren't easy to keep the bulbs in fixed positions, all pointing in the same direction. For that, you can use simple wall-mount single-bulb sockets mounted on a piece of plywood, with "zipcord" for wiring between the sockets, and an extension cord with its socket end cut off, and that extension cord's wires connected to the remaining open terminals of the first and last sockets in the chained-together string of sockets. You can actually use some of the extension cord's wire for making the series connection(s) between the sockets: remember a SINGLE wire connects between each lamp socket terminal and one of the terminals on its neighboring socket.
I am wondering how B1 fits with red light? 80% of the body's B1 is found in the mitochondria. All diabetics are deficient in vitamin B1. We supplemented benfotiamine (fat soluble form of B1) and he is no longer on insulin or any diabetic meds.
I become skeptical however when I consider that people who work outdoors, and people from past generations who had only incandescent bulbs-they too had average health spans that are comparable to ours.
Not true- life span was taken down by infection and early child deaths- which we have conquered- the people that survived childhood frequently lived to 100 with full function- not laying in a nursing home as today so the quality of life lifespan was much longer!!
We are asking you the illumination engineers and scientists to generate a light that we cannot see but that costs money... maybe the cost is more than justified and clearly visible as the health cost if full spectrum light that includes MIR is not made available to the public.
More people need to hear this - especially coming from a couple of seasoned professors. Ty for this.
This is quite fascinating and shocking at the same time. Well done to Glen Jeffrey for doing this research and raising this serious public health question. Thank you for showing this film and research.
15 years ago or so, I developed ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and this would have been around the time that we began to change our lighting at home to LED. Maybe just a coincidence, but I always felt better outside and especially in the summer, and the more time I am in the sun, the better I feel. Last summer I felt that I had recovered from ME/CFS, but as winter approached my health and energy divebombed again. Happily I have just purchased a red light panel, and I now plan to buy a full spectrum bulb for my main room. It will be my own experiment on myself to see if things change over time.
Can you report back?
So cool. I work in a state mental hospital and recommend to my patients catching some real sunlight during their day
Absolutely phenomenal presentation. It has filled a gap I had in my mind about the *demonstrated* effects of NIR on mitochondrial function. Brilliant stuff.
I come from India. I have a PhD in Physics. I am a Hindu. In Hindu tradition, Sun (Surya) is a main deity. HIS chariot is drawn by seven horses representing seven colors of light. There is a ritual, called Surya-pranam, means saluting (pranam) the Sun (Surya). The practice is to wake up before the rise of the Sun, go outside and face the Sun with eyes closed and folded hands. I never practiced it myself. Now I understand the health benefit of it. I live in London and will try to practice it as much as I can. Hope my diabetes will go down and power level go up.
Lots of info out there about reversing diabetes! It can be done! Best wishes & be well!
A wonderful comment. I studied Hinduism many years ago in high school and in my twenties. Many thanks.
Bear in mind that skeletal muscle cells (myocytes), when exercising, do not require insulin to drive glucose into the cell. Knowing this, and having the time, type 2 diabetes can be reversed along with change in diet.
I have known bodybuilders with type 1 diabetes who have gone into the gym specifically with this in mind. Best wishes from Newport beach, California.
If i may, I'd like to offer a couple of suggestions to eliminate diabetes. must reduce /(eliminate over time): carbs (glucose), milk (lactose) and fruit (fructose) and increase animal fat/proteins via eggs, butter and meats (fatty not lean). Sugar is cause of 99% of all diseases. Fasting is miraculous. once/twice a month 1-3 days as you can handle. I've been on an OMAD for over 2yrs. Off all meds and I feel better than i did at 25...am more than twice that age. Reach out if you'd like. best wishes. I am not sure if due to religious restrictions you are able to follow/consider my suggestions.
Research mega dosing vitamin B1.
All diabetics are deficient in vitamin B1.
By supplementing my husband is no longer on insulin or any diabetic meds
God bless
Do intermittent fasting and learn gently to take colder showers by playing with the temperature.
Phenomenally interesting. I work in the residential building science industry. For so long, the focus has been on energy efficiency, but some of us are recognizing that the built environment needs to be healthy first, then efficient. Thank you sharing your findings.
Efficiency and money should not be rulling over human health and well being.
...and building materials such as window glass that blocks light.
@@wendyg8536 AFAIK, ordinary window glass at least strongly attenuates (weakens the intensity, amount of radiant energy that gets thru) ultra-violet wavelengths. I don't think ordinary window glass attenuates any of the red -- OR IR (infra-red) wavelengths to any significant degree.
Ordinary window glass definitely does not differentially attenuate any visible light wavelengths to a very great degree - tho' some glass for architectural use (such as windowglass) does have a very slight greenish cast to it, when viewed along its EDGE.
Point is, i think the 'blockage' (to the degree it does so, which is significant) you've heard about is of the UV wavelengths. You can't get much - if ANY - suntan from even midday sun thru ordinary window glass. (There are special kinds of glass which DO transmit UV wavelengths - but those are laboratory-type (expensive!) materials...)
maybe internal lighting can be energy efficient and healthy? ie can a red light led be developed?
@@Dreamopticsredlightglasses as i wrote in my reply to another comment for this presentation, there are already LOTS of "Red" light LEDs - even for quite a few wavelengths well into the IR portion of the spectrum (but not down in the longest-wavelength areas of the IR spectrum). And, IR wavelengths (NOT so much those in the VISIBLE part of the "light" spectrum!) are most likely to be the wavelengths that MAY have therapeutic benefits.
BUT -- ALL IR LEDs are VASTLY more expensive, and produce FAR less "heat" (which is what IR radiation IS) than the MUCH simpler methods of using ordinary incandescent HEAT LAMPs - and even better, operating those incandescent heat lamps at a voltage at least a few percent below their RATED operating voltage! (The greater the operating voltage reduction, the farther the peak incandescent wavelength is shifted 'downward' (toward LONGER wavelengths) - and therefore the greater % of the heat lamp's energy that will be in the IR, rather than the visible, portions of the spectrum.
And any such incandescent heat lamp - even operated at an AC voltage reduced by, say 25% (a bit less than 100V for a 120-VAC rated lamp) will produce multiple TIMES the heat energy of the most powerful IR LED! Perhaps 3-5 TIMES (300-500%) more...
This explains why my husband with Parkinson’s can’t walk as soon as he goes through the front door of a Costco or Wallmart. I kept the lights off as much as possible in the house. Now I’m going on a search for the old bulbs.
Maybe try getting full spectrum plant grow bulbs from a hydroponics shop.
Full Spectrum lighting is important... and a half hour of sun really helps.
Red Light Therapy is also very effective... I have kittens thriving by giving them RLD thru a towel above the birthing box... turning it on/off, up/down according to their mamma cats indications.
Was thinking the same thing about how I felt ill after going into a Sam’s club. Five minutes and I had to get out of there. I knew it was the lighting but didn’t know why.
Wonderful research & simple but thorough explanations. Thank you for this wonderful information.
excellent and clear, lovely to listen to you.
Not very often do I have my mind blown by a totally new idea, but this is one. And it makes total sense. This is why the Scandinavians like saunas so much. And I was studying the role of the electron transport system of the mitochondria and understanding that coenzyme Q10 was essential, but another video said that CoQ10 was formed naturally in the bloodstream by eating green vegetables and being in the sunshine.
how do saunas relate to light? (sorry, just not sure how it relates)
The heat you feel, that you cannot see is a sort of light. Near infrared and infrared are radiant heat that you can feel in a sauna.
@Dreamoptics you have to have a red light electric bulbs in the sauna instead of the oldfashioned steam produced by pouring water over heated rocks.
It's true that an electric light can produce infrared, and it's also true that convected heat in the form of steam is not the same as infrared, but the walls of a sauna will be producing infrared light that you will be able to detect by your skin. If, by putting your hand up in front of your face, you are able to protect your face from heat coming in, that heat is radiant heat- and therefore infrared. A thermal imaging camera would show the walls of the sauna giving out this heat.
@@ottokroupa7379 no. there's nothing special about electricity producing the radiant heat. If you've been in a sauna, you will know that the walls are hot. They are radiating infrared. You can put your hand out and feel the heat, or you could use a thermal imaging camera. Heat is either radiant - you can feel it from a distance, convection - from the steam or air, or conduction- by touch. You get all three in a sauna.
Thanks for feeding my rampant hypochondria. I've already ordered a therapy panel of 850 and 660nm LEDs.
Hehee looked them up, more questions.
LED Blue light?
@@lizellelouw2459 660nm is deep red, 850nm is lower infrared.(pretty well invisible). Where did you get blue from ?
@@dogphlap6749Platinum LED had a panel with multiple lights/ frequencies
why did you waste your money on LEDs? When it is incandescent that you need? A 100w red infared bulb and fitting will cost approx £25 from a farming supplies store. You undoubtedly got taken for hundreds of pounds with this silly LED devices.
We should get back filament lamps reclassified as room heaters. They produce more IR than UV and visible light. Cost of lighting may go up a bit. But cost from diabetes etc. will go down.
I couldn't agree more. And to add insult to injury, LED blue light is the last thing you want to expose yourself to in the evening. Excellent comment. I have a box of filament light bulbs and never use anything else.
If we used the old fashioned income decent bulbs then we would be healthier, but that's not what the powers that be want. The introduction of LED lighting was never about saving energy.
@@ottokroupa7379 I'm pretty sure there's only one 'power' that desires humanities destruction. All of the 'agents' that administrate the programme are just self obsessed minions.
Excellent overview. Thank you. I have seen some videos about red light therapy that suggest there is a curve of dosage in which at some point there are detrimental effects, so I wonder if you can expand on that at some point in the future. Thank you.
One small fact to add to discussion is that 10% of the human body weight is made up of mitochondria. There are approximately 10^17 mitochondria throughout the human body. The more biochemically active the cell, the more mitochondria.
Adipose cells may have as few as 50 mitochondria. On the other end of the energetic spectrum, cardiomyocytes and neurons may have over 2,500 mitochondria. The human ovum has at least 250,000 mitochondria.
The kidneys, spleen and liver are also quite high in mitochondrial density. These tissues typically have between 1,000 and 1,500 mitochondria. The only cell in the human body without mitochondria are mature red blood cells.
I have kidney disease. It's not life threatening yet, but it scares the hell out of me and the nephrologist told me it's impossible to restore kidney function. But I bet they've never studied red light therapy... I'm thinking of trying a combination of red light and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
10%, wow. I hear the heart has a higher or highest percentage of them. It's fascinating to realize that the point of oxygen, is that it has an electrical charge. Electrons we need for energy. Oxygen is acidic, has extra electrons. Our air is like a giant battery that we process, the acid in our internal batteries to get these extra electrons. (Said imperfectly).
@@fusion9619new to the US but very old science to Russia. Look into bio regulators and peptides. Kidney disease can definitely be reversed. My wife was on dialysis three times a week 4 hours each time. Her doctor had to cut her time in half because we were restoring kidney function using immune system stimulation. You can regain your kidney function.
Actually lens, cornea epithelium and platelets also don’t have mitochondria
What about a revival of incandescent lights? They radiate both visible and infrared.
They were "less efficient" in making visible light (hence the move to LEDs), but they also made infrared (which is why they were hot).
They were generally of a "warm white" colour temperature and so better for evening use i.e. with little of the blue end of the visible spectrum - which can supress melatonin production in the pineal gland, so hence better to use before going to sleep.
Yes, yes, yes, very good summaries of a whole lot of extremely important 'hints' about public health... and about personal massive concerns yearning to convey to friends, relatives, and potential friends in the whole world! Chronic disease progressions are running wild, and many 'treatments' are available (even largely for free) if we convey the current science known, adequately to allow some life-style adjustments. Thank you!!
Bravo kind sir ,
Finally real intelligence that i can so easily understand,
Im fascinated by this subject
Thank you. I wished you had touched on the role of melatonin in mitochondria as the free radical scavengers, which is produced in response to IR light. So mitochondria stay healthy because of melatonin's action.
He has very limited understanding of the big picture- go to Dr Jack Kruse for that
It’s amazing that these scientists can look at the complex design found in cells and the different mechanisms and how they work together and then turn around and ascribe all of that to chance and evolution…
Yes, their blind faith in evolution/chaos theory, is amazing- There are no missing, Missing Links,& DNA is a sophisticated, code/language which takes a Mind/Creator God to have bioengineered. No amount of billions of years, can change the odds for evolution: it's Nil-
@@eirecoleenit is actually hilarious when you see accurate animations of how proteins form machines and then copy blueprints to assemble organelles... it all literally runs like clockwork and flies, zooms and teleports against the second law of thermodynamics but any mention of design, let alone a watchmaker and the grand inquisition of lucky pants is wheeled out to demonstrate what a REAL religion looks like!
Y e p !😊
I disagree. I think good science confirms an intelligent designer very consistently.
@@axios777agree, but the science of our evolution-besotted friend is bad science (as far as those evolutionary assumptions are concerned)
As an aging geek, I really love this! I intend to do more with red light 🚨 thank you so very much!😊
I find it humorous that when humans reach the step of independent cognition which enables them to reconcile ancient descriptions of Creator God as highest Wisdom, many subscribers to fringe denominational theologies are offended. Truly, God has not permitted a grain of bread seed, even that which has been choked by the (seed of ' the enemy')to be absent from the angels' harvests. Thank you God for causing our brains to store up knowledge- truly awesome for those who love God. Do good with your knowledge, it is borrowed from the Higher power of God to get us through difficulties.
This was awesome. Thanks! I use nir for seasonal affective disorder.
This partly why people feel so great after a day at the beach. Salty air, vitamin d, light rays over all their body, connected to the ground, hence grounding, unique microbiome exposures etc etc
All the high efficiency windows filter out the infrared too. So being inside a lot less healthy.
We need private healthcare with private insurance competing for us. And we will see the biggest medical leap forward in healthcare and treatments I can’t wait for this to happen you guys are awesome real drs.
Just like the US 😂😂😂
We might get this if trump puts RFK in charge of shaking up big food and big pharma in the USA. If he gets in…
Ideally for our Health, what type of light bulbs should we be using? Thank you so much for your illuminating discussion I look forward to your reply🙏
mitochondria work even better with ketones as a fuel rather than sugar.
That's a matter of opinion.
@@binathere2574 That's a matter of biology
Thats a matter of facts vs stupid ketard propganda. Burning fat for fuel is inferior. Its a backup process. Dame amount of ennergy needs 30 % more oxygen and produces much less CO2. CO2 is the most effective anti oxidant. It has a ton of benefits on so many things in the body. CO2 maxing is a thing. In fact, CO2 therapy in combination with red light therapy is unbeatabale for a long healthspan.
Being in ketosis also increases mitochondria density! :D
@@binathere2574please elaborate
So glad I found this. Definitely sharing. Thankyou.
Google tells me 'Basically, the human body turns over its weight in ATP daily' but the basic molecule is not created from scratch each time, it is recycled from 1000 to 1500 times a day.
But if mitochondria is recycled incorrectly we get cancer-. We know ultra violet causes mutations and cancer. Is this protective? Could people expose to red light have better results or less symptoms for chemo? Love to see some rat studies in this
What a wonderful update on data proving the harm of artificial lighting. thank you! I bet if incandescents are advertised as a weight loss remedy better than any diet known, the public demand may begin to tip the scales to allow them in our stores again.
Thanks so much for explaining this technology. I've just bought a RLT lamp and are eager to see its benefits. I will keep listening & learning.
Fantastic info! Had thought about diet, exercise, fresh air, sleep, stress reduction, love...but missed the most important contributor to health: sunlight!😊
Amazing!❤❤❤
What a fantastic presentation. Thank you. I started using light 💡 Therapy last year, and been introducing my client to it, and it has made a positive difference. The protocol is doing rounds of 4 minutes, so what you said about the timing at the end makes perfect sense.
What was said about the eco bulbs vs the filament version is a worry, and sounds like a move in the wrong direction.
can you recommend a link where i can get hold of this red bulb? thank you
@@danielfck in the UK, I did a search for them yesterday in terms of domestic use, and several come up. They start at £7 for a bulb, and upwards of £120 for a handheld device. If you are in the UK, it looks like Holland & Barrett are having a sale, a lamp reduced from £27, to £21.50.

Seems it could be said that the mitochondria are the mother of mankind. It's so weird, I just remembered I had seen a short video about how to make a diy voltage detector that lights up when in the proximity of a current! The mitochondria of our cells come exclusively from our mothers with rare exception to the rule. The mitochondria obviously communicate with one another in the body. Considering the aimiliarity of all mitochondria throughout all mankind and the inverse square law and that all these kabillions of mitochondria exist within the same boundary condition as the magnetosphere of the Earth which is the aura of the Earth. It would seem likely to me that the whole some of the mitochondria of man communicate within the body of the Earth as the mitochondria would seem to be the predominant influence of the aura of each person on Earth which is the boundary condition of our personal current which would inevitably light up any other system of the same nature.
39:40 most red light devices are set at 20 - 30 mins to automatic shut off. Are they all mistaken, and should be set at 3 minutes? Very important question to answer.
I have Parkinson's. I have been trying to get clear info/guidance as to how long to use these devices after hearing about the biphasic dose response, and possible harm done from overuse. I started a few years back with a Celluma Pro device that runs red 645, near infrared 880, at 40hz.
Added a Symbyx hand held laser unit (specific for PD) that completes a 20 minute cycle with 10, 2 min. uses on 9 points over the gut, 1 on the back of the neck, base of skull.
And just got a Vielight MIP with led bulbs clipped to the nostrils; red 633, infrared 810, blue 470 (anti bacterial/viral) and red laser 655. Only 2 are used at a time. I need to know, am I harming myself by letting these units run until auto shut off? There is research backing all of these units.
Hi Dr Jeffrey, I have watched three of your videos now and I have enjoyed them. I have Osteria arthritis in my left hip and I'm looking for ways to treat it rather than get a total hip replacement, as my doctor wants me to do. However, none of your videos give us viewers specific red light therapy device names for us to buy. As you know there are dozens and dozens probably hundreds of different red light therapy models available to buy. So it's very frustrating shopping for something that I really don't know which one to buy as I do not have the specs on the device you are using. I'll keep watching for more of your videos. I've already emailed you about this issue but have not gotten a reply. I'm sure there are thousands of other people like me who need this vital Information to purchase a reliable red light therapy device that meets your approval. Thank you very much.
I've done lots of research on this and Mito Red seems to be the most popular company that people have good results with. Like you, I'm interested in hip regeneration. The Mito Red Pro X panels have an added amber light which is suppose to regenerate bone. Hope this helps you....but do your own research.
I'm mathematically curious about the professor's statement of how the body produces its own body weight in ATP every day. He must have meant another energy consumption formula, entirely, because obviously, we don't consume food equal daily to our daily weight, nor does converted daily energy from food equal our body weight, and thus he must have meant something similar to watts or kilowatts per hour. What else does the well-intending professor get wrong in this mini-lecture, I wonder? But I will listen to the rest of it with a very open mind, as I have for the last 38 years in health research and postulation.
I thought he meant the body produces ATP, breaks it down for energy, then produces more... All day long.
That is because mitochondria do not produce ATP from nothing, mitochondria takes an "uncharged" version of ATP and "recharges" it, so it is like a rechargable battery, if you recharge a battery 10 times it doesn't mean that you have produced 10 batteries. So yes saying that the body produces your body weight in ATP every day can be a bit of a misnomer.
He may meant a human body cycles 1 body weight of ATP daily. Converting ATP to ADP in muscle cells and again ADP to ATP via respiration.
Yes absolutely awesome thank you so much ❤
Wish they’d suggested a home device we could make and use.
Thank you Dr. Jeffery and The Light Review for this important and informative presentation. This is among my top 10 favorite presentations about mitochondria and the importance of red light.
Thanks very much for this video. I really found an interesting experiment to do on myself. I am a 66 years old male. I have been diagnosed with diabetes. My eyesight is getting worse. My power level has significantly gone down. I feel tired very easily. I have not been putting on weight as I do not eat much and I have about a 12 hour fast from 7 PM to 7 AM next day. I am going to get a red/IR lamp and I will expose my back side to about 30 minutes of that light and see what happens to me. I will also try to stay in Sun as more as possible. Will I feel more energetic or not? Will my sight improve or not?
I hope it helps you. FYI diabetes is a life style problem
Add good level of Vit D for your eye health.
Obviously Paul you did not see the blood sugar reaction to Blue light… people can do well on diet alone but never completely recover due to blue light exposure… light is the foundation..,
Fascinating! Identifying the Goldilocks combo of light spectrums to “Feed” humans daily would be amazing!
I’ve heard studies starting to look at human photosynthesis, and melanin light spectrum studies. We know the ozone changes impact the light humans get outside, causing more harm with what we need. As we look to future Mars exploration, etc. this is critical!
Where can we get manufacturing!? I have many ideas for implementing light in consumer devices…
For my house at the very least
Thank you! Great information that is important and needs to be discussed!
Being starved of red light is all by design. I challenged my local council about the LED situation in 2018 and after they tried the Delphi technique on me and it failed, i became a person of interest. I was then gifted LED street lights all around my house even though their installation was not in keeping with policy because the old lights were not broken or damaged, the poles were in good health and i lived in a small cul-de-sac, they went a head and installed them, but only around my house. When i asked the installers for the model numbers of the lights, the man was advised that he was forbidden to tell me!
The parasites know exactly what these lights do and that is why Incandescents are being banned from 2027.
Make Incandenscents Great Again!!!
Is it safe to look at or have lights shine on your face that have infrared and near infrared wavelengths?
it is safe if the power is low see our glasses, if more powerful no, from what professor Jeffery has said before you should not shine bright red light into your eyes, I have quite a bright red light lamp and professor Jeffery said stand 12 feet from it, you should not stare directly at the sun
So should we always have screen blue light protection, not only in the evening? What about sunglasses, I thought they were bad for health? What about normal glasses - should they have blu light filter? What about IR sauna - does it have the same affect as IR light pannels or ..? Thank you!
this information which makes complete sense to me as I learn more about eating for metabolic health. After years of extreme carb restriction, carnivore diet and intermittent fasting, I managed to wreck my metabolism and reduce myself to heart and kidney failure. Initially keto and carnivore produced good results eg T2 diabetes glucose control, inflammatory arthritis pain gone etc. However, I eventually couldn’t walk, think or do anything that required even minimal effort. Recent reintroduction of carbs and sunlight have been transformative in just days! I’m swimming and walking again and so grateful to people like you guys and Ray Peat for helping me to a basic understanding of ATP importance. Thank you.
Oh no, I did the same as you, but luckily carnivore only for a few months, I stopped because I put on so much weight. I hope you are feeling better now.
If you go for a walk in the park, do you have to be showing skin? is it OK to wear long sleeves, pants sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat? Do the beneficial waves of light go through clothing? Also, why not just supplement with a red light device?
To all your initial questions: nope, sunlight doesn't penetrate clothes, sunglasses etc. To your last question: yes, up to a point. Sunlight has the full quotient of healthful rays -otherwise human existence would never have made it this far on planet earth!
actually from the research I have seen, clothing can make a difference, for example denim will block light much more than cotton or polyester, so if you wear 2 layers of denim you will not get hardly any light, colour also makes some difference, wear blue or light shade and you get more, obviously longer frequency penetrates deeper as professor Jeffery said, if you just wear one layer of clothing it does not make much difference, you still get the light
You need to expose as much skin as possible. It's also Important that your eyes receive sunlight as well.
Yes, the beneficial near infrared does go through clothing, and through your skull!
Very interesting, thanks. FYI, We do have LEDs that do IR; we use them commonly on cameras. for surveillance at night. The issues is the "wasted" power. And even when they do emit its normally not huge power as the cameras a sensitive at in that range so a little IR light goes a long way.
Great, great info
What is the effect of true IR,
ie.. Pure heat
I sit under invisible IR
LAMPS NIGHTLY..
I can barely see a deep red in the dark..
Is this the right idea
I have an LED lamp that apparently produces light at 660nm and 850nm - hopefully this might be doing some good? I also have a 300 watt incandescent IR therapy lamp - maybe this is even better, and produces a bit more of the IR spectrum??
This has to be a serious topic,
Thank you
According to a doco I’ve viewed apparently plant evidence has been unearthed, the plants very much brighter in colour thousands of yrs ago
Fascinating vid , The coloured wave lengths are very interesting… my child at a young age put blue into the hot colour range thinking the blue flame is hotter than the red flame , is this why it helps to create aging ? Is blue wave length hotter … ?
As a young child yrs ago, sick confined to bed, my mother used either a red or blue incandescent light bulb in my room only so not so bright, I used to tell her which one I felt I needed, not until this vid had I thought about again
Also does this affect Vit D levels ?
Red or blue light will not produce or reduce vitamin D. VitMin D is produced from ultra violet light.
You need UV to make D - listen to Dr Jack Kruse
wow! amazing , thank you The Light Review and Professor Glen Jeffery, that is an amazing explanation, how important is red light, do computer screens give off blue light? (I know some of the new ones have 'warm ' functions, especially at night, doesn't sound like that makes much difference though)
Yes screens are all blue- he’s not addressing that in this study- there are apps like iris to mimic the spectrum and blue blocking glasses to wear etc- again not the point of this myopic study for general public health- go search other light discussions for better personal steps you can take- Dr Alexis Cowan is a good one who studies under Jack Jruse and is opening a light laboratory at penn State or Princeton
Very interesting and informative. Thank you.
If you install IR lights in the locker room of an athletic team, will their performance improve?
Good question
Almost certainly - and it only needs 4 minutes twice a day!
Very very interesting - thank you !!!
A comment from Berlin :
We bought old ',fashioned' light bulbs when the change came to store them ..... At a nice autum day around these times there was a scientific talk of an ophtalmologist about the harmful consequences of exposure to b l u e light -
(( f.example when an older person usually reads next to his blue light reading lamp, and is getting more and more problems with his eyesight)) - and how much better it was if the person sat next to a lamp with more red light.
May I utter a request ? I would love to learn about daily consequences - going out in the morning and what else ? What about these red light lamps for times of having a cold ....? Could we use *these* to give energy to our poor mitochondria ?
Could the individuals suffering from the genetic treatment during the last 3 years who are suffering from mitochondrial fatigue use such lamps ?
Maybe my question displays that I did not grasp it completely - 😅 . Physics is complicated for me😂
I like the reference to the ‘genetic treatment’. We need to ‘throw some light’ on what has happened to people who thought they were doing the right thing in 2021.
I have cancer. (Also diabetes) I’m doing therapeutic keto. Trying to keep the glucose down but this still looks healthful because light helps vitamin D levels. I’d love your thoughts for cancer on that. How do the rats die? If they have cancer does red light help? What about the cheap red lights. Do they still work?
Question to 'the light review' - where can we buy incandescents?
Talk to the politicians people call authority. They've been outlawed.
How would this light spectrum be affected by glass and by the solar tubes that folks put from the roof into the living spaces?
Studies have shown that its not just 670nm that work but even 630 eg. 633nm diodes are brilliant for wound healing too. Don't get too hung up on specific wavelengths as other diodes in the red and NIR spectrum are also highly beneficial. As long as you are using them often enough with an effective dose, there will be mitochondrial stimulation and more ATP. Diabetics with impaired healing and risk of leg/foot ulcers and diabetic neuropathy should be told about this modality, its been around for years. Key mechanism was discovered in 1995 by Russian Scientist Tiina Karu. Sadly NHS are not interested because it works 🥺
Photobiomodulation is included here no? Do infrared saunas charge ATP as well? Are LED Red or 250 Watt red light bulbs sufficient to support ATP?
To your last question: I wouldn't think so, as Vet clinics once had the best type for healing animals in recovery - Philips infra-red globe. No longer made? But can be sourced second-hand 😊
Those globes are still made.
@@pipfox7834 Find them at pet stores still.
Any light recommendations for people who stuck inside under blue lights most of the day?
Thank you for telling me when I need to use lights. With food.
Never put that together: glucose spikes and lights.
Should we go back to incandescent bulbs, or add infrared and red in larger proportions to our white LED light bulbs?
When I go for a walk in the early morning, I try to expose myself to the infrared fields.
Will using blue blocker glasses while using a computer or watching TV prevent the bad effects of LED screens?
Body weight in atp. Did you think about that before you said it?
Are some frequencies of IR more effective at energizing mitochondria?
Have companies submitted medical device applications to the FDA, in the US of course?
Thank you both for sharing this very interesting and extremely informative and as well as essential info. Out of curiosity, are there still benefits of natural lighting in absences of direct sunlight? for example: light or dark clouds, etc.
I have been using photobiomodulation for my diabetes for about 7 years.
You didn't say when lights are used to minimize blood sugar spikes!
Was light used before glucose tolerance test, during or after?
I use 20- 30 minutes daily.
Different bulbs have different impacts -yes. I would imagine screen-time also a significant effect/role. (Thinking old children and how much time they are on laptops/iPads in school) and how technology could be having an effect on the general population …thoughts please (i work in the pediatric realm).
And what about wearing red glasses - is it beneficial? Sometimes I am confused, becouse wearing blue colour glasess stimulates the right hemisphere which is more prone to nature, movement and emphaty. Red on the other hand stimulate left hemisphere where sits anger and egoism.
This work is all true. Facts.
Is the vitamin D production dose responsive?
😊àmazing how the evolution theory is still taught as fact, its all a matter of where you put your faith, cos none of us was there millions of years ago
It's always struck me as a matter of hubris for people to think they are capable of understand the working of God. Those who wrote the books of the bible lived at a time when our world would've been completely incomprehensible. Is it possible that those to whom God spoke needed explaination in a way they could understand? Could they have understood the physics behind our ability to put satellites in orbit? I don't thik the understood geologic time. How the universe was created and life formed was explained in in a way that was understandable. Plus, the how wasn't the point at that time, only that it was God who created it. Personally, I don't think a "day" or "a day and a night" is the same for humans and God. For as much as we know now, I think if God chose to speak to someone today, he would STILL have to speak slowly and use easy words because understanding all of his creation, as well as the how and why of it are still, and likely always be, beyond our ability to fathom. Evolution makes complete sense to me. I'm just thankful we, for the mean time, live in places where people are able to disagree, there is no one idea forced on all and that there are still places where people can discuss their differing opinions without it being as if the outcome of the discussion will determine who is good and who is bad. I don't understand people's seeming need for that. Sorry this was so long. Nice chat my fellow subscriber.
@@AVTothHey 👋 Following what I've heard from others in my own inquiry as to how the Universe works I have found that the book of Genesis describes how all energy and the information it necessarily contains is transferred and transformed at every level of the Universe from the subatomic to Universal. The word "word" literally means energy in the Bible.
The first page of Genesis actually says the light God called Day and the darkness he called Night. The Bible references itself over and over again so the meaning of it's words can be found with reason. Christ is referred to as the light of the world. God refers to the light as day and then says the morning and the Evening were the first day. The morning, in my opinion, refers to God's intention as the word he sends out which is reflected as what appears in his sight which is the light of the world and the life of our body which is the Universe. Universe means one verse, song, story. The light of the world is our awareness in which all things appear in the light even the night appears in the light as the Bible defines the light. Most of the words we use in everyday life describe how the Universe actually works except for the category called profane which is from the Latin meaning before the temple which means in disagreement with the template of the Universe which would the Laws of the Universe which rule the Universe and mostly are agreed with in the laws of physics. Eve is the reflection of Adam's desires. Adam named the serpent when he named the beasts of the field. Almost always in the Bible to name a thing is to define it's nature and the names in the Bible describe the nature of the characters which are states of mind.
The words science choose to name things is to me a clear indicator that good is the actual ruler of the world even today. For instance, ribosomes reflect the wishes of the nucleus of a cell via messenger RNA sent through the cytoplasm. Ribosomes means rib of the body and cytoplasm means the word across the waters. Phospholipids make up the boundary condition of our cells which is what firmaments are which separate the waters from the waters and allows for the appearance of different things within one thing which we call the Universe just as Adam called the name of Eve when he saw that she was the mother of all life. Amino acids are made by ribosomes and are the fundamental building blocks of all life and these are represented as letters which are literally transcribed as messenger RNA and read by the Ribosomes and released into the cytoplasm as what appears within the cell as strings of these letters which represent particular things according to their precise order just as a word. When words are put together in logical order they tell a story which is the meaning of logical. Biology is from the Greek Bios meaning mode of life and logos meaning word.
The etymology of words give their full meaning and reveal hidden meanings. Many words are combinations of smaller words as syllables which give a much greater meaning when examining individually and viewed again as a sentence. Like phospholipids means light bearer which gives form to the word as what appears in the world. Anyone can find these just by flipping through a dictionary and then googling the etymology of words especially that go together in prefix or suffix. Then we can find more by googling more information or stories about the words we find in the etymology of words. Like ascend, ascetic, and ascertain will likely lead us to find the story of Asclepius. I could go on and on. I'm happy to answer any questions about my process which I was led to by others but everyone has their own favored ways for finding information. 🙏⚕️🙏
Take a high-speed evolutionary example: the flu. You're proposing God cooks up new strains yearly? Ditto with "evolving"antibiotic resistance?
There's lots of evolution being witnessed in smaller critters, like mice, fruit flies, and bacteria. Doesn't take much 'faith' to extrapolate that evolution and assign the same mechanism to humas
I don't understand. Clearly, the IR causes the Mios to produce energy, but the other Mios that don't get the IR are also
upregulted to produce more energy. So, that means the IR is NOT neccasery for energy production,but triggers it??
I just got a new 900 nm Infra red light and you can feel the light hitting your body but you cannot see it.
Do you feel its effect?
I was just at the dermatologist. It’s November in PA & I have a slight tan because I am outside at sunrise & in the afternoon to help heal my mitochondria. She immediately said get out of the sun so you don’t get skin cancer. Excuse me but cancer is a mitochondria issue. When will these drs learn. Obesity, which she is is less healthy than getting sunlight
Can the blue light be filtered out, leaving the red wavelengths?
Do eyeglasses block beneficial light ?
I am sorry, but I did not understand your last point at 36 minites about walking in the park. Are you saying that infra red light passes through the leaves of trees?
I think he was saying that IR is reflected off flowers (because they do not absorb it) - so if you go for a walk in the park in June (implying the presence of many flowers) you would be 'bathed' in IR from all angles...?
@4:39 yep, and that's why our body is capable of produce it's own glucose every single day, not needing exogenous intake of carbohydrates - glucose, this fabulous so well engineered process is called Gluconeogenesis
More ketard propaganda. Yeah, GNG is real, BUT: To do so, it has to raise Cortisol and Glucagon. Stress hormones. And it will prefer protein as building material. If you dont eat 200 grams or more of protein, there will not be enough protein to keep your muscles because your body has to raise stress hormones, decrease your Thyroid function to produce the glucose that it needs because some tissues cannot burn anything else than sugar.
@@coachchara you are making a nice potato salad, all messed and mixed up.
I realized three decades ago the importance of light therapy. I have moving crystals in my morning sun and I spend a lot of time outside. I am brown and happy not white and SAD.
Dr. Jack Kruse ❤.
Would love to see Glen and Kruse mesh their knowledge together but Kruse is too overbearing listen- to these actual details. He’s all big picture which is fine but getting action is critical and nobody will listen to Kruse as he’s too arrogant and abrasive
Also would love to hear Dr Jeffrey’s take on melanin that Kruse makes extremely hard to understand without graphs and illustration
This researcher uses the words “burst of light” indicating a shortened period of light exposure. However, his research completely ignores ‘pulsing’ light as the preferred method for delivering light into the bodies’ cells versus the non-pulsed light delivery systems this researcher exclusively utilizes. Pulsing light has been clinically shown to have more therapeutic value than shining a steady continuous wave of light to penetrate the cells. The difference is dramatic! Research has also revealed that pulsing near infrared light and red light together have yielded dramatically more effective results than the early ‘continuous wave’ method of transcranial photo therapy applications making his discussion incomplete and a sate of some very valuable research funds.
Very interesting. Would one be able to put this into practice by turning on and off , with some electronics, the red lights we have at home?
The argument would be more persuasive and helpful if accompanied by the studies underlying it
Brilliant info tysm ❤
Do you see that [ ] that is solar and magnetic (mean) upper mid ￦ of o
Where can I get 900 nm red light
@@mikeaugust747 we know about the sun…
@@mikeaugust747video indicates that solar blue spectrum component at 430 nm "balances" vs 900 nm component. 8:48 thus blue cancels out red if using sunlight in terms of ATP effects. Also, you'd need to ditch clothes for full effect. IMO if ATP benefit is the objective, selective spectrum is required, either artificial with only required wavelengths or filtered sunlight to remove unwanted components.
@@nevisstkitts8264 Well, 430nm has poor penetration, so only illuminates surface Mios.
900nm goes all the way into the body, so affects far more Mios.
I thought nearest LED is at 850?

Industrial-type IR LEDs (often called 'IR Emitters') are available with peak output from ~770 nanometers (just near edge of human visibility) to about 1800nm. But there doesn't seem to be much, if anything very powerful (as much as such LEDs even can be so far) above about 940nm. And a 3 to 5 watt (input power, not IR output power which is a lot less!) IR emitter at 850 or 940 nm will cost you more than $3 each (!).
Better (MUCH cheaper) to use ordinary incandescent bulbs! Now, you can shift the peak emitted wavelength region, of any incandescent bulb, to a LOT longer wavelength range, just by lowering its operating voltage, relative to its 'rated' (normal) operating voltage. Lowering the bulb's operating voltage to somewhere between half & 2/3rds of its rated voltage, will shift its peak emission band well up toward, or even into, the IR band. You can easily achieve this lower (effective) operating voltage with an ordinary incandescent light bulb dimmer.
Even cheaper: connect two - or even THREE - 120V heatlamp bulbs IN SERIES electrically. You can use either 100W or 250W nominal power bulbs - buy them either online, or from places like Ace, Lowes, or Home Depot. For 2 bulbs (equal wattage!) in series, your TOTAL consumed power of both bulbs will be HALF that of a single bulb. For 3 bulbs in series, it will be 3x 1/9th (total of one-third) that of a single bulb (3 pcs 250W will produce only ~83W when they're connected in series). Your peak wavelength will still be in the visible spectrum (shorter than ~700nm), but the fraction of the total radiant output that's in the IR region (longer than ~700nm) will be a LOT higher, than what it is with those bulbs operated at their rated voltage. (The peak emission - and overall emission spectrum shift - will be significantly greater with the 3 bulbs in series, than just two; tho' the total power consumption (and heat energy emitted) is less w/ the 3 bulbs.) And the bulbs will last a LOT longer, too. :)
* * * you DEFINITELY want to use HEATlamps - they have a good reflective surface on the interior of the bulb, so more of the heat energy is 'aimed' at you, rather than dispersing into the rest of the space you're in (more good healthy impact for you (assuming this beneficial effect on our mitochondria is valid for us humans, too), with less heat energy dispersed elsewhere into your surroundings).
It would be easiest to achieve the series wiring with "pigtail" lightbulb sockets - but those aren't easy to keep the bulbs in fixed positions, all pointing in the same direction. For that, you can use simple wall-mount single-bulb sockets mounted on a piece of plywood, with "zipcord" for wiring between the sockets, and an extension cord with its socket end cut off, and that extension cord's wires connected to the remaining open terminals of the first and last sockets in the chained-together string of sockets. You can actually use some of the extension cord's wire for making the series connection(s) between the sockets: remember a SINGLE wire connects between each lamp socket terminal and one of the terminals on its neighboring socket.
I am wondering how B1 fits with red light?
80% of the body's B1 is found in the mitochondria.
All diabetics are deficient in vitamin B1.
We supplemented benfotiamine (fat soluble form of B1) and he is no longer on insulin or any diabetic meds.
I didn't know that about B1 thanks.
I like sunglasses that have a reddish hue.. it makes sense
Sunglasses, of any colour a No.
I become skeptical however when I consider that people who work outdoors, and people from past generations who had only incandescent bulbs-they too had average health spans that are comparable to ours.
Not true- life span was taken down by infection and early child deaths- which we have conquered- the people that survived childhood frequently lived to 100 with full function- not laying in a nursing home as today so the quality of life lifespan was much longer!!
Apparently a "lower" dimension opens in infrared, but a "higher" in ultraviolet conditions😮
Organic Lithium to store bioelectrical energy for a longer time?!?
The life of a mouse and human needs to be accounted for as far as length of time it takes these changes to occur in humans
We are asking you the illumination engineers and scientists to generate a light that we cannot see but that costs money... maybe the cost is more than justified and clearly visible as the health cost if full spectrum light that includes MIR is not made available to the public.
Needs to be done in Ketosis to see the effect
