Light Therapy as a Therapeutic for
COVID-19

This site gives information for using Photobiomodulation (PBM) a.k.a. Light Therapy for:
  • Prevention
  • Intervention
  • Recovery

Photobiomodulation (PBM) for COVID-19

PHOTOBIOMODULATION (PBM) or Light Therapy is the application of red and infrared light to the body.  Light is well-studied and researched for its FDA clearance of pain (inflammation) reduction and improved circulation (vascular health).

PBM’s mechanism of action is well suited to help address COVID-19 symptoms of inflammation and vascular damage.  It is safe, non-invasive and well suited for self-care at home.

GENERAL INFORMATION

HOW COVID ATTACKS

  • COVID-19 Increases Inflammation & Cytokines

  • Invades nasal cavity first then the lungs and arteries and veins then attacks all tissues and systems via endothelium of the arteries and veins

  • Older or compromised individuals become sicker than younger individuals because they  produce less Nitric Oxide

USE LIGHT AT ANY STAGE!

PREVENTION

Both by lighting the nasal passages where it reproduces and by supporting a healthy immune system.  This can be an important tool in keeping those especially susceptible from contracting the virus.

Light Therapy may help prevent COVID infections because:

  • PBM stimulates production of Nitric Oxide (NO) throughout the body
  • NO becomes the primary immune system after Interferon is shut down by COVID-19 virus
  • Red Light also denatures the spikes (corona) on the virus
  • Reduces chance of infection

INTERVENTION

For those who come down with COVID-19 Light is proving to be a secret weapon in quickly restoring health. 

Not only do those infected overcome the virus faster, they experience shorter recovery periods!

Light Therapy helps the body fight COVID infection:

  • Reduces pain (inflammation)
  • Suppresses the over production of inflammatory cytokines
  • Improves immune response
  • Reduces chance of severe infection
  • Spikes on virus are sensitive to red light — Reduces viral load in nasal cavity

RECOVERY

Even if you don’t discover Light until you are past an active infection, Light Therapy excels at speeding up recovery from the lingering symptoms of COVID-19: 

Body Aches, Fatigue, Brain Fog, Head Congestion, Digestive Upsets. 

Light Therapy help the body to recover from Post-COVID Syndrome:

  • Reduces pain (inflammation)
  • Improves breathing
  • Enhances tissue healing
  • Restores energy and stamina
  • Reduces brain fog and nerve pain
  • Helps with emotional relief

USE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIGHT DEVICES

There are a wide variety of Light Therapy (photobiomodulation) devices on the market.  For the purposes of helping those suffering from COVID-19, we recommend a combination of the following types:

INTRA-NASAL

The COVID-19 virus is understood to replicate in the nasal passages – and to be susceptible to Red light.  Introducing  Red Light directly into the sinuses has been shown to rapidly reduce viral load.

PAD-BASED

Contouring the delivery of Red & Near-Infrared light directly to the areas affected by COVID-19 with Red & Infrared Light Therapy pads is the most effective method to saturate tissue for the reduction of inflammation. 

TARGETED

Activating acupoints with targeted Red Light (aka Photopuncture) delivers systemic responses by the whole body.  Using a torch-style light on specific points is fast and portable.  These tools can also be used in the sinus passages.

PBM/COVID STUDY INFORMATION

PUBLIC SERVICE ALERT

Recovery from COVID-19 or having received a vaccine DOES NOT PREVENT YOU FROM SPREADING LIVE VIRUS TO OTHERS! Just because your body has produced the antibodies to temporarily fight off COVID-19 does not magically kill any virus in your vicinity!

* If you breathe in the COVID-19 virus you can then transmit it to those around you if you are not wearing a mask. *

* If you come in contact with live COVID-19 virus and touch others around you, you can still transmit the virus. *

YOU MAY NO LONGER RISK GETTING SICK BUT YOU CAN STILL MAKE OTHERS SICK!

WEAR A MASK IN PUBLIC * WASH YOUR HANDS * PUT RED LIGHT UP YOUR NOSE EVERY DAY!
