Still a novice, but I have been studying the work of Dr. Jack Kruse. He recommends 20 minutes Red and Near Infrared light sessions, four times daily.
I (without the knowledge in this post) gave my wife w/Parkinson's all 80 minutes of Red and Infrared Light at one time, and then some. After more than a week of 2 hours+ sessions of Red Light (given before she got out of bed in the morning), she lost the use of her legs!! Basically she became more of an ALS/MS-like patient, and could not get out of her wheel chair, etc.
I backed off all red light, and she regained the use of her legs, such as it was. I have restarted 20 minutes per day and will report on her progress in this thread.
The Rabbit Hole
On one of Alexis Cowan's UNINDOCTRINATE YOURSELF podcasts (#24) interviewing Kruse, they mention a study that found if you are in the sun, the melanin in your skin acts like a "solar panel" and your body gets the energy (electrons) it needs from the sun. Importantly, the normal ATP electron transport in the mitochondria is regulated down.
As if when the body switches to getting ts energy from sunlight, the energy from food is conserved. Meaning that with a lot of sunlight, less food is required.
You might think this would promote more fat storage, but apparently the reduction in hunger overrides any fat storage effect. If you want to lose weight using sunlight as your power source (rather than food) you should eat less.
And it turns out that the natural Red Light in sunshine primes the body for the coming UV light that powers the body, but the Red and Near Infrared light is available only for short periods, just after sunrise and before sunset. Kruse's advise is to not miss a sunrise, face the sun, and stay in the sun for 90 minutes every day. No glasses or sun screen. (There are reports that people only sunburn if they are wearing sunglasses, meaning the light on the eyes is important.)
Here is an important anecdote about the Healing Ability of Red LIght
https://rumble.com/v5ox2pb-dr.-jack-kru ... n-amd.html
This is from a recent Kruse blog that mentions Red LIght:
Recent work in this area shows that POMC neurons exhibit a dimorphic (biphasic) response to mitoribosomal stress in a dose-dependent manner; homozygous deletion of Crif1 was detrimental (i.e., severe light stress), whereas heterozygous disruption was beneficial (i.e., mild light stress).
How does IR-A light work in the sun? A biphasic dose response has been frequently observed where low levels of red light have a much better effect on stimulating and repairing tissues than higher levels of light. The so-called Arndt-Schulz curve is commonly used to describe this biphasic dose response. Centralized medicine has no idea how POMC works with light. POMC gets cleaved using the biphasic actions in light. When cleavage is imprecise, disease results.
Red Light Sweet Spot
MITOCHONDRIAC UNDERSTANDING: SUNLIGHT IS MANDATORY for making water at CCO during the day in mammals. If you do not get enough sun or live at a high latitude inside all day, you need more water to avoid the vasopressin release issued POMC. If we do not get enough sunlight, we're dehydrated, and then we lose circadian feedback control of vasopressin, and the entire water cycle in our body goes awry. This facilitates the development of autoimmunity.
This is how lousy clock management leads to epigenetic disease by decreasing mitochondrial redox power. This is why big pharma is now pushing the use of anti-vasopressin analogs for MS patients. Understanding POMC is understanding modern human neolithic diseases. Mammals are creatures sculpted by light.
