Effects of Light Wavelengths on Health

This is wild. So the long wavelength light, red light,

infrared light, et

cetera, that's the heat from the sun that you feel.

It's part of that heat that you said.

I love it.

That long wavelength light is not the light that burns your skin.

It's not the wavelength of light, and it was present in incandescent

bulbs. So incandescents are, you know, even if you see a white incandescent bulb,

it's got short wavelength, so it's got blue, it's got green,

it's got yellows, all

the way out to red, and in some cases even infrared.

That infrared and red, we'll just call it long wavelengths,

believe it or not,

beautiful data on this from Glenn Jeffrey's lab, University College London,

it can

go into and through your body,

and it actually helps, this is a loose term as I'm using it, charge

your mitochondria. The mitochondria, there's water in that area, and the water

absorbs the red light. If you've ever gone swimming

and you've gone down, you know,

snorkeling or something below a certain depth, you lose the reds, okay?

Because the reds get absorbed.

Oh.

So your mitochondria function better, you increase ATP

production, your metabolism increases in the presence

of red li-

long wavelength light to the skin. This study has been done.

Shine w- light, long wavelength light on somebody,

watch blood glucose levels in a

blood glucose test, and it's blunted.

Now, the LED lights that are commonly used now are most everywhere.

They are truncated so that it's all short wavelength

and medium wavelength light,

and that short wavelength light in the absence of long wavelength light has been

shown to damage the mitochondria.

There's a kind of a niche group online different from the, from the butthole

sunners,

so that are very bullish about this

idea that the switch from incandescents, um, to LEDs,

and not just screens, but

general lighting, is causing disruptions in mitochondrial

function.

This used to be considered crazy. This was like chemtrail crazy, right?

But now we're starting to see from animal studies and human studies from

Glenn Jeffrey and others that people's vision gets better

when they get in front of

an incandescent bulb once a day. If they get sunlight, which also has long

wavelength light, your vi- vision improves because of improvements in

mitochondria. You can, again, better blood glucose regulation.

This study just came out, eating near a window

or working near a window impru-

improves blood glucose regulation.

So, you know, I'm not paranoid. I, I have LEDs in my home, right?

But if you can get outside and get some long wavelength light from

the sun without

getting a burn, that's the, that's the trick
