I'll get some and I'll I'll share my thoughts in time now red light Rising the UK based company have their advantage 2.0 panel lineup now this is crazy because the advantage came out years ago so it's it's been a while between updates but this new panel has six wavelength six smart modes uh a touchscreen diing and it's putting out about 70 to 80 M of power at 6 in again I will be sure to review one soon oh and finally one quick mention block blue light now have a motorized St just like Plum Melody have had for a while I've reviewed that one so uh I know a lot of people have been waiting for that so you can go and order it now what about new articles well first up kenon have a new blog on red light therapy for ankle surgery quite a niche topic but hey if you're recovering from ankle surgery then check that article out M red light have put out an article on receding gums and red light therapy now remember if if you've been following my stuff for a while or listen to a few of my interviews or videos you will know that recing gums was a paino point of mine that red light therapy addressed rather quickly it was the first thing I noticed when I started using red light therapy it was the huh this is actually doing something moment I'm sure you've all experienced that so uh yeah check out that article actually Moor red light have just come out with a new product it's the mitoyo product uh for Nick and back health I talked to Scott about this in an interview I forgot to mention it earlier so um check that out if you're suffering Nick problems Platinum LED have a nice blog on the myths around red light therapy it's quite a good read actually so check that one out oh and back to motor red light they have just published independent lab testing data for all of their products so the lab testing data covered Radiance which is the power of light emitted you know the power density uh the amount of light head in the body for instance they tested radiant flux and then also the voltage used so you can see all of that data through the link down below feel like have published a ton of updates first up they just received FDA clearance for a pain product of this and secondly they have released a new study on the Vite nuro for repetitive head acceleration events and the study showed really good Improvement markets everything from improved reaction time to grip strength um so quite a fascina in study and it shows that red light therapy is beneficial for both brain and physical benefits now Rouge have put out an article on red light jery and I hope I'm saying this right treat Trea I don't even know how to say it I'm going to put the word up on screen now what's interesting is this question gets asked a lot in our Facebook group so um yeah if you're looking for an answer have readed that article all right this month's study is titled the use of laser photob biom modulation as pre-anesthetic tissue management technique and reducing injection pain in children are you using red light therapy to help kids getting injections I mean this is uh this heads close to home my my children have had the jab over the years so um yeah what did the study find so the study looked at 64 kids between 5 and 7 years old who needed an anesthetic injection at the dentist now the kids received either an anesthetic gel and a numbing cream I'm sure you've all experienced that or a one minute application of Rel light therapy laser at the side of the injection now this laser was putting out 200 M over cm squ of energy and was emitting 660 NM of light now 200 M of light is quite high that is more than a typical panel but this is a concentrated source and it's only being applied for one minute the study goes on to say how in Pediatric Dentistry the anesthetic injections are wanted the main issues when it comes to fear and anxiety around uh Dentistry work for children gosh I should mention and adults as well now the outcomes of this study were measured objectively and subjectively so they actually measured heart rate to quantify Stress and Anxiety they also used the face Pain Scale and the sound eye movement scale pretty much how one responds to pain are they tensing up are they moving around are they showing pain and discomfort on their face okay so what did the results show well the red light jery group had a lower heart rate 3 to 11 bits per minute lower than the non- red light therapy group secondly the kids in the red light therapy group had a lower face Pain Scale score meaning there was less discomfort this was at the time of injection and the sound eye movement score was also better in the red light therapy group so the findings here look red light therapy for one minute at the S of an injection seems to help children with the discomfort of the injection there was no noticeable changes when it came to the actual treatment it was more that the red light therapy session helped with the injection itself now knowing all of this I am tempted to take in one of my my high powerered torches to the dentist if I or any of my loved ones have to get an injection I would actually tell the dentist to use both the numbing cream and the laser because why not right like no one likes pain why should we suffer through pain if we don't need to so interesting fighting but yeah it just shows that look this red light therapy stuff is it's legit and it's more than just helping you recover from the gym or helping that wound heal faster it does a lot of amazing things remember I've heard from people in the space who have had full extractions done without any pain medication only using laser for the pain reducing benefits so amazing stuff all right this month's question goes hey Alex I noticed that red light therapy has taken off a lot of companies are entering the space coming up with their own products and also a lot of the big news channels are reporting on red light therapy what do you think of all of this yeah well I mean it's great for the space it's great for on to be honest that it's becoming more mainstream and people are becoming more aware of it I mean just look at that study I mentioned with the pain reducing benefits I mean if you can shine a light and it's going to reduce the pain versus putting on some chemical like why would you of course you want that right so the more people that find out about this stuff the better of course there's always a potential downside when companies into this space and they don't really know what they're doing they're just jumping on the bandwagon so to speak and they put out products that may not actually do what they meant to do or they put got some misleading marketing claims saying they're for instance the most powerful panel where whereas they're not even close you know there's always a downside with all of this stuff another example is a video Someone shared with me recently titled the dangers of red light therapy and a dermatologist was interviewed on a breakfast show and she was saying how red light therapy is so dangerous and should be avoided and if you use it make sure it's under the supervision of a trained uh professional but she was saying that red light therapy is part of the ultraviolet Spectrum which is so far from the truth and it just meant that all of her points were totally false because of that one assumption so what I'm saying is yeah it's great that mainstream adoption is happening it's just that we have to be careful as to what these people are saying are they actually researchers or Professionals in the space or have they just done a quick Google search and put together an article also there's money to be made in the space right so of course you're going to see some big claims and um you know how it is so feel free to share any questions or comments uh down below or again in our Facebook group uh or head over to light therapy insiders that's the blog my team and I share content on and there's some excellent content over there everything we do is sides backed we not making wild outlandish claims for marketing hype or SEO rankings or anything like that so yeah definitely check all of that out but I think overall as a whole it's great okay so what's coming up on the channel in the next few weeks while I have three interviews to go out one is with the founder of red light Rising another one is with the founder of block blue light and another one is with the manager of pro rlt I also have a video looking at the lowest EMF red light ZB panel and an amazing before and after case study now what have you missed in the last month remember I do these videos once a month be sure to subscribe to be notified when next month's video comes out but over at the light therapy insiders blog by has published an excellent article on dosing we've looked at red light therapy and covid we've looked at Celebrities using red light therapy and also the potential dangers of red light therapy so check all of them out as for what you may have missed on this channel I did my Huger wand review I shared my experiences using a red light therapy bed For the First Time spoiler alert I fell asleep and I've published four interviews one with the founder of fak beam another one with the founder of kenon I interviewed James Carrol for the second time and also the founder of Theos links are all down below but before you go I do have some personal updates firstly I am about to head to London for PBM 2024 this is a massive medical red light therapy event I'll be doing a lot of interviews there but if you would like to come I think there's still tickets available uh you can buy a ticket but reach out to me if you are going to be there I'll be there with b and Lisa so of us will all be there it would be great to meet up and say hi and you know even have a dinner or something so be sure to say hi secondly people have been asking about my son and his treatment and his condition so I haven't really talked about this much look I've got some good news so yes we've still been doing the treatment with Dr Beck uh this was using the laser this ended the whole treatment plan ended a couple of weeks ago now we had the option to keep doing more but for reasons I'm about to share with you soon we decided to just hold off secondly we have stopped his anty seizure medication uh this was due to be done at the 2year Mark two years between seizures and we did it slightly before we started tapering because we had a bunch of scans we did two or three different scans for those that don't know my son was diagnosed with epilepsy uh just before his second or as a 2-year-old so we did a bunch of scans and they were all coming back uh showing those signs of seizure activity which was amazing so we did a very slow uh with taper with his medication which I have to have to admit was rather scary because you're kind of just waiting for something to happen we got through that and there were no seizures which was great he then fell ill actually we all did um about 3 days after he came off the medication and um that was a big test because when he was having the seizures it was when he was quite ill you know high fever and yeah he got very very ill um the good news is there was no seizure so that was very promising now he's still on one for of medication uh he used to take kipra live a toam every single day we've stopped that but we still leaving clobazam when he gets out so we're going to keep that in for about 6 months or so before we drop that out so we're not totally out of the woods but it's been nearly 2 years since it's last seure and the braad scans are all looking good he is doing great he's in school he's really thriv driving there's a bit of catch up to be had um from a learning development point of view but um I mean it's it's quite amazing and I think all the people that do ask how my son is doing you know obviously it's very personal uh but there has been a bit of crossover with what I do uh and I have touched on it a few times so yeah I wanted to share this news with everyone because it is a big development and I would like to hopefully condense what I have learned over the years and hopefully give back to the community especially those who are suffering from similar conditions of course if he doesn't have a seizure again I would even know exactly what the reasons behind that were did he just grow out of them which is a possibility we will told that's a possibility was it the treatment with Dr Beck was it the photobot modulation we introduced was it one of the other treatments we were doing who knows but I can say that at this point in time we're very happy and we're excited for hopefully future without medication and of course without horrible seizures no I mentioned that we decided not to do any more treatments under Dr Beck when our plan ended why well part of the reason is because I am moving I'm currently filming this at the start of August in my studio in New Zealand in a couple weeks time we are moving we are moving to Dubai it's a very big move picking up sticks taking the family and um my camera to Dubai and we're going to change things up for a while why am I doing this well all sorts of reasons um why not uh travel I do a lot of travel to events and it's very hard from New Zealand business opportunities Financial opportunities a bit of Lifestyle so you'll probably notice a change of background and a few other changes hopefully I'll be able to get to a lot more events and do a lot more interviews uh if you live in Dubai please say hi if you're traveling through Dubai please say hi I used to say this to people uh if you ever in New Zealand but not many people come to New Zealand I'm sure it will different in Dubai uh I will mention I've filmed a lot of content for this year um so it may be a while before you see a change in backgrounds but yeah that's me that's the change that's the update appreciate all
