Light is something most of us take for granted. Without it there is no photosynthesis, no food chain and animals would cease to exist. Every chemical reaction occurs through the exchange of energy coming from light – it makes everything we know. Without light there is nothing.
When I talk about light, I mean the whole electromagnetic soup in which we live. Light has no colour other than that which our eyes de-code. Visible light stimulates the organs of sight. We are unaware of most electromagnetic frequencies - we don't see radio waves or ultra-violet rays - we only see a very small fragment of the radiation around us – we only see visible light. Our eyes register light frequencies as colours. They register the frequencies that lie between 400 and 700 nanometers, from blues to reds with greens, yellows and orange in between.
Our world would seem extremely dull in black, grey and white – the colour we see adds delight to it and without us being aware of it we give ourselves light therapy every day. Ultra violet frequencies do damage to life and kill bacteria. We all receive doses of invisible ultra violet from the sun. The media has scared us about ultra violet light. But we need it too. In small quantities, the rays improve our immunity.
Light is powerful stuff! It is being used through our modern technology for diagnostic purposes like X rays, which you know about, MRI scans and a host of other imaging techniques. It is the carrier of all information that we receive through our modern technological devices. It is why everything works from your phone to your toaster to your toothbrush. We live in the ‘age of light’.
Science thinks light can be both a wave (as it travels) and a particle (as it hits something). Of course, scientists might change their minds – but that’s the way it seems with what we think we know right now. The particle part – the little packet of energy that touches your eye or skin is called a photon. ‘Photon’ is just a word meaning tiny particle of light.
All modern technology uses light in some way or other. We are mastering the use of light and the magnetic fields it produces. But what is a photon ACTUALLY? Every scientist tells you it’s a mass-less packet/wave of energy and as far as the sizes of things are in sub-atomic physics it’s big. When electrons that cloud around atoms jump to a higher state of energy they gobble up a photon of light, and when they drop to a lower state of energy they emit a photon – but a photon is huge compared to an electron. How does such a huge thing fit inside such a small thing? Well, the energy in the light is absorbed to power up the electron, and it is released again as light when the electron powers down.
Funny thing is that no one has ever seen a photon under a microscope – for when you irradiate it with light so you can study it – it completely disappears! I asked a well-known physics professor to tell me what light ACTUALLY was – he said “I haven’t got a clue!” Yes, light is funny stuff.
Light heals. In hospitals since the fifties blue light has irradiated babies with jaundice (and depressed the nurses!) and infra red ‘tunnels’ relaxed patients before physiotherapy. You might have seen or used the old infra red lamps that got really hot and had to be handled carefully.
Certain frequencies of light have been found to be useful in healing wounds, relieving pain, killing bacteria and rejuvenating the skin so really useful Photon Therapy Lamps have been invented that are much easier to use than their bulky predecessors or the hot dangerous lights you can remember from the past.
Making light that doesn’t get hot has always been difficult but with the invention of LED’s – Light Emitting Diodes – we can make light without heat. And furthermore, they last an enormous time – a generation in fact. They use very little electricity. LED’s are just the kind of invention that might help us in our uncertain future!
Because, at last, we have invented light emitting diodes (LED’s) which are cold lasers, and they can be very bright but never get hot even if they are intensely pulsed (IPL’s), huge possibilities are opening up for the future especially in using light on a cellular level for healing.
Suddenly medical science is discovering that not only can you use light for all kinds of diagnostic purposes, but you can use it to heal many different conditions. MRI is being tested because it might help bi-polar disorder, full body infra red irradiation for MS (Multiple Sclerosis), brain irradiation for Alzheimer’s, and irradiations of the wrists and neck for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Very efficient and well designed healing lamps are being produced in China to a high standard that are used in hospitals and there are some that can be used at home. The colours (frequencies) of light commonly used are red, blue and green. Infra red is invisible – but a few visible light emitting diodes in modern photon therapy lamps help you to know that the light is on and working.
NASA – the American Space Agency was one of the first groups to investigate hand held healing lamps because the wounds of astronauts in space are slow to heal. Red light was found to speed the process up. Many light frequencies (colours) have now been tested and found to be safe and research is ongoing.
Healing devices for animals and humans are available on the Internet. There are some people trying to make a lot of money out of something that could be very simple and inexpensive. So – be warned. If you are interested in the healing properties of light you can make your own photon therapy lamp that will work too.
The interesting thing about healing with light is that in many clinical trials it was found that it made no difference to the results as to whether the light was bright, nor if it was intensely pulsed – it also worked if it was simply shining. It’s the frequency (colour) that is the important thing....and fortunately, when it comes to visible light our eyes tell us what frequency it is. If we see blue – then it’s BLUE!
I explained that light heals and its healing properties are being investigated and tested in mainstream medicine. The new LED’s (light emitting diodes) do not get hot and so can be used safely in arrays in Photon Therapy Lamps. This means that specific frequencies of light can be used safely at home.
I also wrote that in testing the healing properties of light, it has been found that light heals whether it is intensely pulsed (flashing on and off) or continuous and that it was the frequency (colour) that was important not the brightness. Devices are available for animals and humans.
I want to explain now how everyone can use photon therapy without having to buy expensive devices. A most simple photon lamp would be a torch covered with a piece of red or blue or green stage lighting gel or plain old cellophane – or coloured plastic! A torch creates a small area of light for treating cuts, wounds, blemishes or the mouth and other small areas.
Green frequencies are for treating age spots, wrinkles, facial veins, skin darkening, rosacea, scars, for skin tightening, blotch clearing, birth marks, or refining the skin.
Blue frequencies are for inflammation, acne, cold sores, pimples, bumps, spots, mouth ulcers.
Red frequencies/infra red are for skin rejeuvenation, wound healing, skin toning, skin smoothing, muscle aches and pains, carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, frozen shoulder, arthritis, ulcers and many other conditions.
Our new energy saver bulbs make using light for healing large areas affordable for everyone. You can change the ambient light around you in this way. Simply get an A4 piece of cellophane, or opaque/translucent plastic (it doesn’t have to be see through) of the colour you require and laminate it to strengthen it. Roll it into a tube, staple the sides and top closed and it will sit well on an energy saver lamp bulb and won’t catch fire. This cannot be done with the old fashioned incandescent bulb that get extremely hot. So please do not try putting anything around such a bulb except a lampshade!
There is a lot of research happening currently into the effects of ambient light on humans and animals. It's full influence on the release of hormones is not fully understood. But it's already known that it affects mood and emotions.
Coloured gels are used as overlays on pages of text for people with reading problems, or when perceptual distortion causes text on a page to jump around – the frequency that assists is found to be different with different people. Red, yellow, green, blue and red translucent sheets can be useful. There have been experiments using tinted glasses. But changing the ambient light that falls on the page has the same effect. You change ambient lighting by using energy saving bulbs capped with a coloured cone.
Bright white light is used for Seasonal Affective Disorder (winter depression) and any bright white lamp - a halogen floodlight for instance – that illuminates a wall within your peripheral vision will do. It only has to be used twice or three times a week for about half an hour to make a great difference to your mood.
'I have been using light as medication for fifteen years in my healing room and home. The more I learn about light, the more amazing it seems to be! Photon Therapy Lamps can be useful for those people who prefer to use one device or need infra red frequencies. The lamps don't seem to be so easily obtainable in England. But remember, you don't have to buy any Photon Therapy Lamp – and they ARE really useful – because, with your own ingenuity, you can use light for healing by making your own.'
