The Invisible Rainbow, Pt. 1

_{This week we will take a dive into the world of invisible light and its impact on our health. And I'm not talking about infrared light, the wavelength we associate with red light therapy that has positive health benefits; but, rather, the other invisible light that makes up over 99% of the electromagnetic spectrum. In his book, The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life, Arthur Firstenberg chronicles the impact that the evolution of electricity, radiation and non-native electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) has had on the health of humans and animals since its inception in the late 19th century.}

<sub>This well-written and strongly-cited book by Firstenberg makes a very strong case that the vast majority of health maladies and diseases of the last couple of centuries are actually directly tied to electricity and the iterations of that technology (i.e., the electrical power grid, radio waves, telecommunication, wireless technology, advancements from 3G to 4G to 5G, etc.) versus the paradigm, which we are all too familiar with, of exercise and diet.

This book has completely transformed my perception of electricity, the advancement of any technology and its indisputable negative impact on our health. In a nutshell, any human-made, non-native EMF causes metabolic disease, which is tantamount to saying it causes mitochondrial dysfunction. Based on the information presented in the book, provided you are a health conscious individual, you quickly realize you need to start prioritizing EMF-mitigating tactics over diet/exercise tactics. I am not saying you need to get rid of one to include the other, but rather that you can't out-exercise or out-diet/out-supplement dysfunctional mitochondria; you need a strong motor (i.e. mitochondria) before you can get the benefits from the fuel (i.e. diet and exercise).</sub>

_{In this episode, I cover one of  the more profound chapters, Irritable Heart, in the sense that it clearly demonstrates the impact of electrical technology through various eras and how it has been a silent killer for countless cardiac conditions. In my opinion, 5G is further perpetuating and accelerating the issues outlined in this chapter. I hope you find this information as profound and paradigm-shifting as I do — knowledge is truly power. As always, light up your health (with EMFs from the earth/nature and sunlight)!}

Acupoints & Anecdotes: Red Light Therapy for Animals & Humans w/ Ros Maindok

This week I am excited to welcome my first "fireside chat" with a red light therapy enthusiast! Calling in from Western Australia, Ros Maindok, first got illuminated by red light therapy back in 2010 when she took a course that was designed specifically for horses. This is back in the day when it was literally just red light and did not encompass the near-infrared light we are accustomed to with today's red light therapy devices. She began with a red light therapy torch and learned how to treat acupoints on horses, getting impressive results quickly. From there she was hooked on the healing capabilities of this simple, yet profound technology.

 

Of course, over time Ros's experiences and knowledge grew into treating other animals/pets and herself and her family. Similar to her results with horses, she realized some amazing results with her family, especially her husband. Ros highlights some fun anecdotes, which provides some great insight into "real life" results people are getting with red light therapy.

 

We also speak about how we see red light therapy expanding in the future and (hopefully) where it can get with more mainstream adoption. Like me, Ros is very impassioned and excited to share and spread her red light therapy knowledge; and with over a decade of experience, she comes from a place of know-how versus just reading a book or the research. 

 

Sit back, relax and enjoy this fun conversation with Ros from the land down under (sorry, I couldn't help myself). And regardless of which side of the equator you are on, light up your health!

Irlen Syndrome: Perceptual Challenges & Light Sensitivities w/ Terry Carlson

This week on The Red Light Report we are going to gain a novel perspective on light and learn just how much it can affect our perceptual processing. Known by many names, including Irlen Syndrome, visual stress, and scotopic sensitivity, the symptoms that can be helped with color are wide-ranging and appear in many different populations, including those with migraines, brain injury, concussion, ADHD, autism, and learning difficulties. Interestingly and luckily, this debilitating condition can be quickly and effectively reversed by colored overlays and spectral lenses. I was able to sit down with Terry Carlson, a seasoned Irlens diagnostician, to take a deep dive into Irlen Syndrome and how she goes about diagnosing and treating this condition with the science of color!

Backed by over 40 years of research, Irlen is the pioneer and global leader in spectral filter color lens technology. This innovative, breakthrough solution has helped millions of adults and children around the world. With hundreds of certified providers in 46 countries around the world, Irlen is the original creator of colored lens treatment for light-based, visual processing difficulties. 

 

The Irlen Method has earned millions of fans by providing a long-term, expertly-developed solution for reading problems, headaches, migraines, light sensitivity, ADD and ADHD, autism, and many other light-based difficulties–by directly addressing a core problem: the brain’s inability to process visual information and specific wavelengths of light.

 

This is a very interesting conversation and will make you see light through a new lens and, perhaps, the signs and symptoms may be similar to what you are currently experiencing. Be sure to look into Irlen Syndrome via the links below and share this information with any family members/friends that may be dealing with. Take the self test, it's free and may put you on the right path to recovery. Enjoy this episode and, as always, light up your health!

Research: Fluoride & Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Amber vs. Red Light For Skin Health & Treating Rotator Cuff Surgical Repair

It's been some time since we tackled some research, so in this week's solosode we're going to cover a wide variety of topics! Also, I wanted to reach out to my audience and let you know that I would like to start interviewing some of YOU (5 to 15 minutes segments) about your experiences and results with red light therapy. You would not have to disclose any personal information  — simply share your story! I think it would be powerful for everyone to hear one another's stories and experiences. If you would be interested in participating please reach out here: podcast@biolight.shop

With the first article we will uncover fluoride's impact on mitochondrial health. If you remember from the last couple of episode's from Dr. Jerry Tennant's book, fluoride is an electron stealer and lowers your voltage (hint hint!). 

The second article looks at periocular skin health (i.e. skin around the eyes) and compares amber light versus red light in their abilities to decrease wrinkles. It turns out they are both great at doing so, but which one is superior?

The last article looks at treating rotator cuff arthroscopic repair with red light therapy; specifically, self-treatment with lasers! It turns out, people are more than capable of accelerating their own recovery and rehab​ when given the proper tools and education. The protocol provided was also quite interesting and comprehensive, which is great to see from the research.​

It's great to get back to some research and continue to broaden our red light therapy and mitochondrial knowledge.  Enjoy the information and, as always, light up your health!

Healing is Voltage, Pt. 2

All of our cellular membranes are battery packs and hold a charge? We will continue our journey down the path of energetic health as we work our way through a particularly profound chapter in the book, Healing is Voltage, by Dr. Jerry Tennant. In the second part of this pivotal chapter, we will learn how cells acquire voltage, the role of water in electron exchange, how food carries its own voltage and the common ways electrons are taken from our bodies and how cells store them.

Dr. Tennant also discusses why removing hydrogenated oils from your diet is a non-negotiable, as the dangers of trans fats have a strong correlation to obesity and overall health. He also explores the wisdom of acupuncture meridians and their impact on well-being that provides a new perspective on the interconnectedness of our organs and the role of energy flow.

​​Lastly, Dr. Tennant unravels the profound relationship between acupuncture and yin/yang organs and further shows us how our entire body is a massive circuit and battery with tesla coils related to all of our organs; the end result is that it explains how all disease/cancer can be traced directly back to any area of low voltage that correlates to that tissue/organ. When the dots are connected, it is mind-expanding.
​

This episode is chalk full of interesting perspectives and noteworthy concepts. Nothing but gratitude to Dr. Jerry Tennant for sharing all of this information with us for the betterment of our voltage (i.e., quality of life!).  As always, light up your health!
