When I had Covid in May of 2020, I made a point to spend a significant amount of time outside in the sunlight. Tried to maximize my sunlight exposure, and went to bed at a very early hour. In my single data point study, I always felt better after a sun filled day with good sleep. Your videos were the catalyst for me making this decision.

I was involved with red and infrared light therapy in late 1990s. It was developed to treat horses because not fda approved. However it was of course used on people who were interested. Amazing results. These original devices also had a pulsing setting. We used the device in relationship to the acupressure meridian system. I still have and use my original device all these years later. It was also found that the use was more efficient with an every second day usage. Over stimulation of cells can be somewhat detrimental to. Thank you for your videos on health.

Halfway through this video I took my chair outside and watched the rest of it in the sunshine. 😊

Thank you for continuing to "shine the light" on light as a healing tool. This is a fascinating area of research.

In early Covid, I listened to you and many other physicians, I did my research using Pubmed and other universities studies, old and recent studies. I have Autoimmune hemolytic anemia & cold agglutinins, I had been taking multivitam/minerals, Vitamin D3, K2, B-complex, long before covid hit. Through my research, I added Glutathione, zinc (short term). I traveled by car and plane between the midwest and San Diego numerous times during covid. I never was ill from covid. The last time I had seasonal flu was in the late 1960s. 
It appears that many illnesses/diseases are caused by and/or contributed to from lack of sunlight, poor nutrition (I am referring to consuming foods with lack of optimal natural vitamins/minerals.), lack of physical exercise, environmental factors, etc. Even when a person does all the right healthy things, it doesn’t mean they won’t become ill, hopefully it would minimize the severity of the illness. In 2006, when Mom was DX; Glioblastoma, she had said she felt better after I wheeled her outside in the morning sun.

I'm so glad to hear you share about Low Level Light Therapy or cold laser. As a quadriplegic, I got COVID last August, and a few weeks later, I was lightheaded whenever I sat in my wheelchair, so getting physical exercise was extremely difficult. Two open wounds on my right foot continued getting worse, as I had bilateral occlusion of the abdominal arteries. I had 4 minutes of K-Laser LLLT on my right leg and foot, and within literally 5 MINUTES my leg and foot veins filled with blood, and my formerly cold leg warmed up. I continued K-Laser and MLS robotic laser therapy, and within 2 months, my foot wounds completely healed. My dizziness completely disappeared, my blood circulation improved, formerly violent leg spasms reduced to infrequent mild spasms, I had increased mental clarity, and increased endurance & energy while exercising. So I can vouch for cold and warm laser therapy having improved post-COVID and paralysis related problems.

I use my red light panel twice a day. I have MS and treat it using diet and exercise (no meds) as well as sauna, red light, and some supplements. On top of the internal repair I get, my skin and hair are amazing! Bonus!

I have early-stage Dementia, at one point a year ago I began to be unable to complete a sentence. I researched Photomodulation. I read up on different inferred treatments and settled on a Vielight head-worn device. After about six weeks my speech got better and eventually totally came back to normalcy. However, I'm starting to trip over words when speaking casually. These treatments are six days a week, under a timer on the device for seven minutes per treatment. And I recently had a CT of my brain and it was normal for my age. I did have COVID almost two years ago. I lost my sense of smell during it.

My dog had blown her knee out last year and had surgery for it. Her treatment was 6 sessions of red light therapy for healing along with some meds. My friend had knee surgery last year and she asked about red light therapy for healing and the doctor just laughed at her request. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wife is a professor that works in this field, we both loved watching this video, thank you. Her father sent us one of the Neuradiant helmets. Will be sending him a photo of myself with an afro wig showing how well it worked for hair follicle stimulation (joking aside it is a great helmet).

I have a bit of an odd recommendation.

Reptile lighting! Especially arcadias deep heat projector. It is made to emit a lot of IR-A and IR-B has a pretty wide area of effect and is cheap compared to many other things.
Getting 2 or 3 of these mounting them above you can expose great amounts of your body to high quality infraredlight

I feel like you listened to me in Twitter! Another cloudy day in London, no sun. But i just got done with a 30 min session in front of my NIR lamp! Been sick this week so it’s been a real treat to be able to use it

The light as therapy vids helped convince my older parents to regularly get outside, and esp when they're ill. Pretty sure it helped them at age 80+ get thru Covid twice with minimal awfulness

Allready in the 1890’s Niels Finsen researched this in Copenhagen and was later awarded the Nobel Prize. But then penecillin was found and the work with light vanished… it’s a fascinating story ❤

[DeborahLongtin]

Thank you. I have been using healthlight (tm) for about 15 years. They are very expensive but the power and frequencies are critical. Really helped me heal from osteomyelitis and sepsis. That was a very difficult path.

[carolwong]

I have the MITO pro 1500 red light panel and have been using it for two years. It has improved my sleep, SAD and joint pains.

I just listened to this while using my red light therapy device

Dr I work for a company Outside inc. Our mission is to get everyone outside. Great video

I have been following your channel and videos since 2020. Thanks for the update Doc.
