The Ultimate Guide To Red Light Therapy: How to Use Red and Near-Infrared Light Therapy for Anti-Aging, Fat Loss, Muscle Gain, Performance Enhancement, and Brain Optimization

Great little book on Red Light Therapy. I started my Red Light Therapy about two months ago. I bought a red light therapy body sized mat and use it before bed every other night. It helps with the aches and pains of getting older, my restless legs and diabetic neuropathy. Besides that surprisingly I have lost 8 pounds! I have done nothing else different so it was a pleasant surprise as I struggle with my weight. I think it must have sped up my metabolism as I have eaten the same as always and with a bum knee I get very little exercise. The book helped me decide to buy a mat. I also bought a red light product that envelopes my feet to above my knees for my leg and knee pains. Just got that one so not sure how much it will help. The book was my starting point.

Highly recommend this book

I am very interested in finding out as much as I can about red light therapy. My online research uncovered mostly advertising for products or services. So I went to a local spa and used their 630nm florescent light bed, which was a converted tanning bed. I was skeptical because the lights weren't that red (like shown in their advertising) and the bed got very, very warm. But after 3-4 visits I noticed my skin was much smoother, really silky, and firmer so I do think believe it works. But I think it is one of those things that one must continue with in order to maintain the results. I noticed that when I let too many days go between uses, that I kind of lost the benefit I gained. However, considering the cost and distance to the spa, this was not something I wanted to do forever. I wanted to figure out how to do this at home and thought this book would help.The author gives a lot of good information as to what red light therapy is and the physiology of how it works, but a big chunk of the book is reviews and recommendations of a few commercially-available products. He is very clear that he does not believe it is possible to set up one's own red light therapy but must buy one of the recommended products which are very expensive and have been out there on the market for a while. He says he has spent many thousands of dollars trying to make his own at home, which I don't doubt. But it makes me wonder if he didn't decide to recoup his money by getting sponsored and writing this book which comes across to me as advertising. I am unsure of his "credentials" other than he seems to be good at promoting, although he may have done his research for the information in this book and I am using some of his information for intensity, distance and duration.Since then, I have set up a home system that seems to be perfectly adequate at a fraction of the cost. As LED lights on the market quickly improve, perhaps his information on what is available currently that would work has become out of date. I found 660nm 25w red light bulbs on Amazon, set them up in directional desktop reading lamps supported by ankle weights (so they do not tip over), and they are working perfectly fine. Five minutes, 6 inches away, every or every other day, give or take depending on results. I use six of them and shift my body for coverage. My results seem to be similar to what I was getting at the spa. I use them for skin aging issues mostly, but I've also used it on my tendonitis elbow with good results. I have not tried the near-infrared bulbs yet since my issues have been mostly cosmetic, but they would be able to be interchanged with the LEDs into my 4" diameter lamp if I buy the bulb.I would suspect that this author would not approve of my homemade design and I am no expert by any means. Do you own research and don't rely on what I do or say - I might be wrong - and my results are experiential and not scientific. It works for me. But if you are unsure of doing it on your own, by all means, buy the commercial product. Red light therapy works, in my opinion. My only question is what the long-term effects might be, good or bad. I haven't found that answer yet.

This information could save you thousands of dollars! Through personal experience, I already knew that red light therapy was useful. I had received LLLT cold laser treatments that helped me regain the use of my arm after a long period of debilitating pain in my shoulder. My story: Chronic shoulder pain following an attack of shingles caused my shoulder to freeze up and I literally could not lift my arm for a year. The slightest movement would send excruciating pain through my shoulder, I could not stand, sit, walk or lay down without being in pain. After the first few weeks of this chronic pain my rotator cuff muscles atrophied. I'm not a big fan of over-the-counter pain relievers, since I know they can damage your organs and are not good to take constantly on a long-term basis. And pain relievers don't heal your problem either. I tried physical therapy and Chiropractic, ice packs, heat packs but nothing made a dent in the pain until I tried low level laser therapy (cold laser treatments). I went to a laser therapist suggested by a friend and after the first treatment I got some incredible relief - like my body forgot about the nagging stabbing pain when trying to lift my arm and gave me a break for a bit. I returned for many laser sessions which I attribute to finally healing my shoulder and regaining the ability to use my arm. It helped relieve pain, allowing me to move and start to regain muscle. However laser treatments are expensive - about $100 an hour for my therapist, and I could not afford to go regularly since I had been underemployed from the disability.Then I learned through Ari Whitten’s Energy Blueprint Program that red light therapy could be done effectively in other ways using red LED panels; that I could get a home device that I could regularly use for the same purpose as the laser treatments I was getting.What's more, Ari had looked at all the scientific research and tested out lots of devices and determined which ones actually work to deliver the results that research talks about.This new book on red light therapy is comprehensive. It not only outlines the scientific research that shows red light is beneficial and healing to the human body, but gives you practical instruction on how to evaluate the effectiveness of a device, how to use the light to get various benefits, and be time efficient doing red light treatments on yourself. He also recommends powerful and effective devices that are affordable and lets you know where to get them.If you have any interest in red light therapy this is the book to get!

This book is helping me to understand more about red light therapy the most dos& don’t that I didn’t know about thank you so much. I will share this with other people for them to read it.
