Researching Organizations

There are over 5,000 research papers on the efficacy of light. The National Institute of Health website is an excellent resource for current research. Use search keywords: LLLT, LED photobiomodulation, NIR. Here are a few of the researching organizations listed:

University of Colorado, Dr. Thomas Burke, PhD

National Cancer Institute

Mayo Clinic, Jeffrey Basford, MD

Stanford University, Kendric C. Smith

Massachusetts General Hospital, Wellman Labs

NASA, Dr. Harry T. Whelan

Marshall Space Flight Center

University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C.

Medical Research

As stated per InLight Medical: In 2016, the National Institute of Health database adopted the word photobiomodulation (PBM) as the new medical science heading (MeSH) keyword for the science of light therapy and its technology. They felt photobiomodulation more accurately describes the physiological mechanism(s) that result from the application of FDA-cleared light technology. You’ll find over 5000+ research articles about photobiomodulation and its technology on the PubMed website (www.pubmed.gov). Use one of the following keywords in your search: photobiomodulation, LLLT (low level light therapy), or polychromatic light therapy to learn more.

  • Blue Light Destroys Antibiotic Resistant Staff Infection

    “It is inspiring that an inexpensive naturally visible wavelength of light can eradicate two common strains of MRSA. Developing strategies that are capable of destroying MRSA, using mechanisms that would not lead to further antibiotic resistance, is timely and important for us and our patients,” says Chukuka S. Enwemeka, PhD, FACSM, Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal and first author of the study.”
  • Colorado BioScience Association Spotlight on Cerescan

    “The light generates a photomolecular reaction, creating nitric oxide when it hits the blood,”says John Kelley, Chairman and CEO of CereScan. “This is the same molecule that is used in nitroglycerin and the treatment of erectile dysfunction. We’re essentially providing a Viagra®-like treatment to the concussion.”
  • Inflammation & Aging Adults

    Some studies have demonstrated that near-infrared LED is more efficient at speeding up wound healing compared to laser therapy [3-7]. Near-infrared (NIR) LED therapy has
    been shown to improve inflammation and accelerate wound healing, as well as helping to control pain. NIR-LED devices for light therapy are affordable, portable and easy to use,
    unlike other light therapy sources, such as lasers or incandescent light.”
  • LLLT & Neurorehabilitation

    lllt-and-neurorehabilitation

    “A closer look at the effects of low level light therapy in neurorehabilitation for traumatic brain injuries, stroke, spinal cord injuries and degenerative central nervous system diseases.“
    SCI [spinal cord injury] is a severe central nervous system trauma with no effective restorative therapies. Light therapy has biomodulatory effects on central and peripheral nervous tissue. Several groups investigated the effectiveness of LLLT on SCI. Roch-kind et al [80] demonstrated that LLLT applied simultaneously to the injured sciatic nerve and the corresponding segment of the spinal cord accelerates the process of regeneration of the injured peripheral nerve.”
  • LLLT of Eye and Brain

    lllt-of-eye-and-brain

    “These data suggested not only that the primary photoacceptor mediating the effects of LLLT is localized to mitochondria, but that molecules that absorb LLLT in cells are probably components of the respiratory chain.25…It has been demonstrated that impaired mitochondrial oxidative metabolism is associated with neuronal dysfunction, neurological impairment, and neurodegeneration.36 Therefore, interventions aimed at improving mitochondrial metabolism are hypothesized to benefit the function of both the diseased and normal brain.”
  • Preconditioning Dose Response

    preconditioning-dose-response

    “Phototherapy has been shown to improve muscle fatigue and exhaustion (Leal Junior et al, 2010a). Studies have shown that pre-treatment with specific doses of phototherapy decreases inflammatory biomarkers and lactate levels in blood after strenuous upper and lower extremity exercise (Lopes-Martins et al, 2006b). On the basis of these studies we can infer that pre
    conditioning the muscle with phototherapy increases the contractile function, decreases exercise induced muscle fatigue and improvement in post exercise recovery.
  • The Role of Nitric Oxide Insufficiency in Aging

    the-role-of-nitric-oxide-insufficiency-in-aging

    “Nitric Oxide insufficiency in aging“…data suggests that although people are living longer, they are not living better or they are living with a chronic disease that requires care and treatment. It is the care and treatment of these chronic patients that causes the enormous economic burden on the health care system and on the patients. In fact from 2000 to
    2008, total healthcare expenditures increased from $1.1 to $2.0 trillion dollars or from $4,032 to $6,411 per capita [1].”
  • Therapeutic Light

    therapeutic-light

    Evidence indicates that cells absorb photons and transform their energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy that cells utilize. The resulting ATP is then used to
    power metabolic processes; synthesize DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and other products needed to repair or regenerate cell components; foster mitosis or cell proliferation; and restore homeostasis.

LIGHT MEDICINE OF THE FUTURE, By Dr. Jacob Liberman

Integrating scientific research, clinical experience, and his own insights, Dr. Jacob Liberman has worked effectively with more than 15,000 individuals, from the learning disabled and physically/emotionally traumatized to business executives and Olympic athletes. The book discusses the use of light in the treatment of various cancers, depression, stress, visual problems, PMS, sexual dysfunction, learning disabilities, and the human immune system.

THE BRAINS WAY OF HEALING, By Norman Doidge, MD

“Brilliant and highly original. Neurology used to be considered a depressing discipline with patients often displaying fascinating but essentially untreatable symptoms and disabilities. Drawing on the last three decades of research, Doidge challenges this view, using vivid portraits of patients and their physicians. The book is a treasure-trove of the author’s own deep insights and a clear bright light of optimism shines through every page.”

V.S. Ramachandran M.D., Ph.D., Neurologist, Neuroscientist, and author of “The Tell-Tale Brain,” Director of the Center for Brain and Cognition, University of California, San Diego
