I put it on his back as much as I could. I then went to a red one, which didn't disrupt his sleep [also used eye mask]. Put him on his side on the couch, clamped to a chair, used a light colored cotton blanket. Infrared will go through white or light colored fabric. He never needed another nebulizer, steroids etc though he did require the light treatments for years everytime he got a cold. It saved my life because the sleep deprivation I got from doing the nebulizers was contributing to my own ill health. Have used it for knee pain, wounds, eczema with great results, anything needing cell regeneration. The Phillips brand is the best. Others have fluoride coating which when heated you can inhale.
What does Red Light do? It does the following; Celular function, Inflamation, Sleep, Blood Flow, Memory, Weight Loss, Balance, Recovery, and Skin. Wow...... where do I get a bucket of this stuff? It is far better than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadacol of my youth. What I can say about this light .... not wave length, effects lots of stuff. One is sleep. My HI DOLLAR FEMF device turns on the goggle red lights at dark and the blue lights in the mornings. So maybe they know something. Red for sleep, blue for awake. I think there is something to Red Light and few understand why, nor which Red light works. So all can post to their hearts content, but it means nothing until we understand the science. Did a Vit C IV with Vit B complex this morning, so I will probably live another week, I did that so I can aggravate D one more week.

Great article!
Red light therapy is used for more than all that you listed. Many people claim it is also useful in Alzheimer's disease / dementia as well as for Parkinson's disease! It is also supposed to be helpful to improve sleep. These type of red lights are installed inside a helmet type device and are warn for specific amounts of time each use.
They're a bit more expensive than the handheld unit shown in your article though at about double the price and higher.

Red Light Therapy Vs. Infrared Therapy
A fine woman called me a year ago from Colorado and knew me from my rants on EC. She suggested I modify my sauna from a natural and FIR to a NIR and told me why. I did that so I am already into what you call red light. I get into the shower and spray down with MgCl and the get before the red lights for 10 minutes front and 10 minutes back. I then do my sink things so I get at least 30 minutes of transdermal magnesium. I then shower. I promise you that I am rejuvenated as best an old man can be. You have more skin than any other thing and all need to use it to your advantage. D, I used to look like Tom Crews, but that was awhile back. Now, I look like an 84 year old. Some folks tell me that I don't look 84, but fat folks don't wrinkle. It's called collagen.
Anyways, you have my attention. I now know that NEAR INFRA RED will penetrate your body far more than any other wave length. It gets to your organs. I try to pull every trick known to man to stay above ground. I think you have a good thought here but have turned it into a commercial instead of science. If I know Bill, Art and others, they will take this to where it needs to go. We don't need to know what to buy, but the science behind this red light. Start my EDTA Chelation again tomorrow, and taking the doctor some of our apples, muscadines and veggies. I BROWN NOSE when necessary. He is not only my doctor, he is my friend. All need a doctor friend.

EC: Thanks for your feedback, ORH. Yes, I need to add a section to the article on infrared vs red light therapy. Just like you said, infrared penetrates deeper than red light. There was one article I found about ideally having a device that combined the two.
Side Effects
The Dermalux Red Light Machine that you used uses banks of LED lights, which 'may' have been the cause of your dry eyes. LED light has been scientifically proven to be harmful to biological life - humans included. LEDs give off negative radiations, causing some sensitive people to develop migraine or other health conditions. Therefore, the traditional incandescent lamp with a red filter is more harmonious and beneficial for biological life - humans included. You could try one in your own home and test its effect - and it won't cost you much to buy.
Side Effects
An Electrical Engineer is here.
1) I do not know what Philip meant by "negative radiation".
2) There is no "negative radiation"; you either radiate, or you don't.
3) "Negative radiation" could be a scenario where you receive energy that is radiated in your direction.
4) These diodes *emit* light. No, we do not say they "radiate" light.
5) I think he was talking about one of the *negative* side effects of ordinary, common LEDs, I.e. the ones that are made and sold for the express purpose of replacing incandescent light bulbs.
6) I think he was talking about the "blue light hazard" (BLH). The issue with those ordinary, common LEDs is that the light spectrum they emit is different from that of the incandescent light bulbs. In other words, these ordinary LEDs emit way too much blue light. Or, to put it differently, as compared to the incandescent light bulb, the light emitted by these ordinary, common LEDs is more intense in the blue and violet end of the visible light spectrum.
7) The LEDs with the BLH tend to have a *negative* effect our circadian rhythms. The issue is, it is the blue light that controls our sleep cycles, therefore the correct exposure would be important for the maintenance of our circadian rhythms.
8) Due to this BLH, people also tend to complain of blood-shot eyes and headaches after continuous exposure to these ordinary, common LEDs. Additionally there is talk about cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, retinal changes, if there is high exposure, for even short periods of time.
However, 9) We should not generalize. LEDs are produced in a variety of shapes and sizes. Their manufacture is also based on many-many different technologies. Therefore it would be a mistake to assume that all LEDs are the same. Example: just because the ordinary, common replacement LED bulbs come with the blue light hazard, it would be a mistake to assume that, for example, the so called "red light LEDs" also emit blue light, and or they also come with the blue light hazard. No, they don't.
I hope this will help someone!
Red Light Therapy Vs. Infrared Therapy
So who will step up and explain the difference. I understand FIR AND NIR, but not red light. I got a feeling if they cannot say what wave length it is.......then it is a scam, because that is the way light is measured. D flushed me on my last post. Maybe I'll get through this time. I think both Bill and Art can explain this. But I know this for fact....... do not mix up Red light with FIR and NIR. They are two different health things. Red light maybe the best thing since sliced bread, but I doubt it.

I just tested my new red light led therapy lamp, which I bought on Amazon, with a GaussMaster (AC Magnetic Field Meter) and it gave off absolutely NO EMFs . Can you explain what you mean by negative radiations? Thanks.
My device is has a number of small LED banks, by the way, and not a single bulb.

> Would anyone know why this was?
Because your salon wanted to save money, too, so they replaced their incandescent light bulbs with ordinary, common LEDs that are made and sold for the express purpose of replacing incandescent light bulbs. And these ordinary, common LEDs come with the blue light hazard. And the high intensity blue light gives you dry eyes.

> Where could I purchase an incandescent light with a red filter?
I do not and cannot speak for Philip... however I believe, in effect, his message was... there is nothing to buy... as you might already own an incandescent light bulb... and maybe a red plastic sheet, too, that can be used as a red filter.
Red Light Therapy Vs. Sun Gazing
I wonder if this accounts for the difference between sungazing and sungazing with your eyes closed - which is quite different and very red, in my experience.

Therabulb is a near infrared bulb. I was using Philips 250 watts before I switched to the therabulb. What is MgCl?
EC: MgCl = Magnesium Chloride
