Long wavelength light, encompassing red, near infrared (NIR), and infrared (IR) light, improves overall health, metabolism, and organ function.
The mechanism involves the light being absorbed not by the mitochondria itself, but by the nano water surrounding the mitochondria.
This absorption reduces the viscosity of the water, which in turn increases the spin rate of the molecular motor that produces ATP (cellular energy).
Longer-term or chronic exposure to long wavelength light promotes the synthesis of more proteins within the electron transport chains, enhancing the cell's long-term energy-making capability.
Light in the long wavelength range is nonionizing, meaning it does not carry the damaging "kick" of short wavelengths and is safe for therapeutic application as it does not alter DNA.
Long wavelength light penetrates deeply into the body, scattering throughout internal organs, and is capable of passing through bone and the skull.
This light passes through standard clothing, such as a t-shirt, regardless of the garment’s color.
Mitochondria function as a community, sharing information across cells in different areas of the body, allowing localized stimulation to produce systemic responses.
Lasers should be avoided for light therapy because they scatter unevenly in tissue, creating highly concentrated, damaging spots called "caustics".
