Very cool experiences. Completely curing hypothyroidism is no small task. I'm using the red light man combo light. I used to use the one you use but it broke. It's a very good light.
Have you been shinning the light in your open eyes?

Anyone see this for thyroid, isn't light but pulsed electro-magnetic frequency device?

Every once in a while but not regularly. I'll try it and see what happens.Have you been shinning the light in your open eyes?

Yeah it is definitely possible to overdose on infrared light and do some damage. Do you think stimulating the eyes via red light provides the same benefits as with sunlight?Thats cool, the light you had before would be better for over the eyes, you don't want to have infrared wavelengths over your face or head every day for months.
For the thyroid i did two times a day for 8-10 min, now i don't need to shine the light on my thyroid very much any more, maybe 1-2 times a week feels good, but i really enjoy getting the red light in my eyes every morning, its very uplifting and energizing to the body and the mind, a wonderful way to start the day.
This is the light i like best for the eyes and everything, i feel the infrared spectrum is to over heating to tissue, you may not notice this at first, but for long term use the visible light spectrum is better, and it works very well.

When red light gazing best to do in morning just after waking up, focus your eyes up towards the top of the light so more of the white of your eyes is getting shined on, the sclera absorbs light photons very efficiently.
Shinning the light in your eyes is not only safe, its good for them, here is a research paper on the benefits of Photobiomodulation for the eyes, although the real benefits come from stimulation and enhancement of endocrine functioning via light photons reaching the hypothalamus.

Seems like there are differing opinions about how much to use red light, where to use it, etc. Are there any real studies on this stuff, or is everybody just speculating. I have a Sota Light Works and do a 14 point meridian light therapy every morning with the red light wand. Been doing that almost everyday for five years. Read that is was safe, and even recommended to get light into the meridians. Do we know what is beneficial and safe, or is it just a guess?

I got weird vision feelings from staring into red lights so I stopped. Night vision got worse while doing it.

I never use light in the infrared spectrum, especially near the face or head, i only use visible light in the 600 nm - 700 nm, orange to deep red wave length range.
O wow. Thats great to hear.I do think it offers the same benefits as sun gazing, even better because you can comfortably do in your home, you don't need the weather to cooperate, me and my family and many others i know have been red light gazing for many months now, all of us are have excellent rests and great improvements in our health.
My mother is in her 80s she was tired and moody and starting to have mild dementia, 6 months ago i got her started using the red light over her thyroid and eyes every day, she is now a completely different person, full of energy, clear mind and joy for life.
She does 8-10 min on her thyroid, holding light right against the skin. Then 5-8 min over her open eyes holding light 4-5 finger widths from nose, every morning.
IMO infrared is fine if one is responsible with it. There is a more sensitive biphasic dose response with certain wavelengths. Some wavelengths if overdosed can cause damage. But if one finds the appropriate dosage only good will come from it.What's your reasoning behind not using infrared (>700nm) on the face or head? I agree that light in the eyes is incredibly stimulating for the brain, but I would argue that having your eyes open is not entirely necessary. The transmission through your eyelids is so great that in most cases it is just as effective to leave them closed. I prefer having my eyes closed because it lets me observe some of the visual patterns and "noise" projected onto my optical structures, and I think they can be fairly diagnostic.
There are plenty of studies on dosages. We should not be guessing on this stuff. Just pay attention to the J/cm^2 in each study. For thyroid use there have been a variety of wavelengths tested with a variety of doses. 830 nm for a total of 38 - 108 J/cm^2 has been tested with good results. Though I would keep the dosages on the low side of things as they did not test for damage to cells.Seems like there are differing opinions about how much to use red light, where to use it, etc. Are there any real studies on this stuff, or is everybody just speculating.

Thanks for the insight. That is good food for thought. I generally take breaks, but admittingly I haven't been too much in touch with any subtle body changes. I do notice a difference, but how much is enough is something I am not quite sure of, although I agree that it is wise to be cautious, so I will take more breaks.As someone who's fairly new to this, but very familiar with physical and breath training of all kinds, my take:
- Perform your own experiments by taking red light parameters and your measurement criteria (ie temperature, pulse, sleep quality, symptom level, etc). Start in small "doses", but put it all into a spreadsheet and work out the trends. In your post, what is your criteria for success? How do you quantify it?
- Become familiar with what a rise in temperature feels like, what a stress response feels like, what fatigue feels like, and so on. Knowing how your body is and how it feels during each session is more of a criteria for assessing what you might need than any trend or generalised average across many people. This is similar to the way advanced weight-lifters start to auto-regulate their intensity and volume based on how their body performs on a particular day, knowing too little or too much is defined individually each day, and will determine an optimum rate of progress.
- Assuming there's some kind of initial mild stress, release of enzymes, other unfamiliar metabolic change in the body, etc - then there will also be a period of adaptation. If glands are anything like muscles, this could take a few days. A safe bet for me and based on some experiences I've read, is that leaving a minimum of 48-72 hours between sessions is probably a very good idea. This way, you're protecting against potential over-training, and stress responses. You can start there, then reduce intervals or increase session length, then find the results by tracking trends and being familiar with your own body as above.
- As with any miracle-sounding therapy or treatment, I think it's a rule of thumb that it's far more risky to do too much than too little.
- It's probably also a safer bet to simply stop when you've achieved your goal criteria e.g. restored thyroid function, increase in testosterone by X amount, or otherwise, and then simply stop. Measuring once in a while and doing a few sessions to maintain the quantified or qualitative criteria. This is to protect against any unstudied long term effects and remember the initial reason you did it.
- Overall, small and infrequent doses of red light are probably okay, since you can calculate what the device generates and compare it to sitting on the beach for X time. However, probably best do the minimum required to achieve the effect you want simply by doing the above.
