NOTE: Red light therapy and all therapies mentioned below can supplement your journey, as healing requires a buffet of modalities. There will never be just one solution to solve all. This is why my 7 Essentials System® includes seven categories.

The kind of light that we can see with our physical eyes is minimal, representing only a tiny fraction of what exists.  The benefits of light therapy go far beyond conventional medicine. It encompasses whole-body healing because it supports your cells—the origin of most health problems. Healthy cells = Vibrant health; damaged cells = the cause of dis-ease. 

NASA first discovered light therapy to increase plant growth and help heal astronaut wounds while in space. It worked and caught the eye of many scientists and wellness innovators. So, I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite noninvasive, safe, and effective forms of red light therapies—because they are proven to work.

 Red Light Therapy Benefits

RLT, soft laser therapy, photonic stimulation, cold laser therapy, low-level light therapy, low-power laser therapy, photo-biomodulation, bio-stimulation, and sono-photodynamic therapy are all modalities that use red or near-infrared light wavelengths to target cells and tissues in the body. I will cover many of them below, but first, let’s get to some of the many benefits of red light therapy.

The most important aspect of light therapy is its effect on mitochondria. Nearly every disease has been linked to low mitochondrial function. WHY? Because mitochondria are the tiny batteries in your cells that provide energy to the cell and ultimately to your organs and body, when the mitochondria absorb this red light frequency, it increases ATP production for energy and cellular oxygenation. 

• Pain Relief: It can help alleviate pain from arthritis and other joint issues. It can also reduce muscle pain and inflammation and aid in faster recovery after exercise. 
• Skin Health: It stimulates collagen production, reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. Please learn more about using nontoxic beauty and skin products here.
• Hair Growth: It can stimulate hair growth after chemotherapy and help with other hair loss conditions.
• Wound Healing: It accelerates the healing of wounds, scars, and other skin injuries by stimulating cells to work more efficiently.
• Inflammation Reduction: It can decrease inflammation, a root cause of most dis-eases, including breast cancer. Please learn more about inflammation and breast cancer connection here.
• Improved Circulation: It can enhance blood flow, improve oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues, and promote healing and overall health.
• Oral Health: It can reduce receding gums, prevent periodontal disease, kill pathogenic bacteria, and gently whiten teeth.
• Sleep Quality: It may help regulate sleep patterns and improve sleep quality by influencing melatonin production. Please learn more about melatonin’s healing powers here.

Red Light Therapy Products That I Use

Sono-Photo Dynamic Therapy

Sono-photodynamic therapy is a noninvasive, nontoxic, and safe treatment for healing. It combines light and sound-sensitive material that attaches to tumor cells, causing them to break down. Please learn more about why I recommend this therapy here.

EMR-TEK Products

After years of extensive research, my favorite source for red light therapy devices is EMR-TEK. They offer the latest state-of-the-art technology in red light therapy yet keep it affordable, too! I use the FIREWAVE and love its innovative design, which offers a low flicker rate and unparalleled irradiance intensity. 

Cleopatra Mask

The Cleopatra LED Mask is armed with a suite of 192 High-Density LEDS that ensure not a single spot is missed. It can help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, oily skin, acne, and psoriasis. It’s not an overnight miracle because nothing is, but it sure does help improve face skin.

Novoral Care Pro

This light therapy device helps reduce receding gums and periodontal disease, eliminates pathogenic bacteria, and gently whitens teeth. Since periodontal disease is very problematic for breast health, it is very important to do all you can to reduce the toxic load in your mouth. I like to use my mouthguard at night when I am reading and relaxing before I go to sleep. I also rub my gums with some essential oils to ramp up the effect of the light therapy. 

Some doctors are now labeling breast cancer an “infectious dis-ease” since pathogenic oral bacteria

are found in the breast tissue of women with breast cancer!

Sunlighten Saunas

My EMF-protected infrared Sunlighten Sauna regularly prevents toxins (heavy metals to pesticides) from becoming “encapsulated” in your fatty tissues. Both near and far infrared saunas allow your body to sweat and promote lymphatic drainage and deep-tissue detoxification to eliminate these harmful toxins. The BUS Study (blood, urine, and sweat) discovered that sweating was the best way to reduce toxic chemicals in your body. I love relaxing and detoxing in my sauna. It’s a great time to read, tap (click here to learn how), breathe, meditate (click here for tips), and shut out the outside world.

Taopatch

These patches provide you with the emotional, physical, and pain-relieving powers of acupuncture and light therapy, whenever and wherever. It’s a patented wearable nanotechnology device captures heat from your body and converts it into light, emitting it into specific acupoints. This light stimulates your Central Nervous System and “reminds” it how it is meant to balance and communicate with the rest of your body. After wearing the patches for several months, my balance and structural alignment are much more stable. 

To learn more about the patches, please listen to this podcast episode with their CEO and check out the website. If you order some, enjoy 5% off with code: BCC.
