No Place to Go for Help, Have Lost It

""Near-infrared is good for regeneration of deeper structures such as tendons, bones and cartilage; orthopedic and musculoskeletal problems. Red or near-infrared light at night also produces melatonin and helps you sleep. Near-infrared may also be useful for kidney problems. Anecdotal evidence suggests it could be a powerful therapy for kidney failure.

“Kidney failure is the third leading cause of death. These are old folks who are dying from kidney failure. You can’t really give them transplants because they’re elderly. You put a near-infrared LED array where their kidneys are and it seems to work like a dream. [But] it’s hardly been studied at all,” Hamblin says.""

I think someone posted this link above. Hamblin (Harvard) is at the forefront of red light studies so if he says "work like a dream", I think it has more substance than we might expect from just anyone using the same cliche'.

Near Infrared is the light you can't see. In the 800-900 nm/wavelength. There are some reputable/knowledgeable people online selling mini-led arrays for under $200., if you want to focus on only one organ or wound, etc.

There is a lot of research published online if you are interested. The Mercola/Hamblin interview is dated 2017 so maybe there is research on kidneys and photobiomodulation now.

I use the NIR on my brain and feel better.
