Treating Arthritis Using Red Light Therapy
Treating Arthritis Using Red Light Therapy
Introduction
• Aching, Swollen, Painful – I’m describing the joints of the millions of people out there who suffer from
arthritis. Their hands feel sore, everything takes longer and even simple tasks like taking out your
phone and texting somebody becomes challenging.
• For the younger people listening to this who think it’ll never happen to them, listen up: Arthritis used
to be thought of as a disease of the elderly, but today it’s common among young people. For
example, in Brazil, 33% of people over the age of 25 have osteoarthritis[1]. It can happen to you
and there’s a good chance it will. Almost 55 million US adults (22.7%) were diagnosed with some
form of arthritis between the years 2013-2015,[2] and tens of millions every year since then.
• This amounts to hundreds of millions of people suffering from arthritis and yet as you’re about to find
out, all the treatments a medical doctor can offer you suppress the immune system. Even people
who know nothing about health know that switching off the immune system is not a good idea. It’s
your first line of defense against disease and lowering it increases your risk of death from cancer
and virtually all diseases.
• In this presentation, you’ll learn what arthritis is, the mainstream approach to treating it and how red
light therapy can help you live free from the pain and discomfort of this crippling ailment - quickly,
inexpensively and with zero side effects. Be sure to stick around until the end and I’ll show you the
exact red light treatment time needed to achieve the greatest possible results.
What is arthritis?
Arthritis is a disease characterized by swelling of the joints. It is usually
associated with pain, restricted range of motion, muscle weakness,
difficulties in daily living activities and impaired quality of life.
Mainstream Theories:
• Osteoarthritis is said to be caused by mechanical wear and tear on
joints and is the most common form of arthritis; about 10 times more
prevalent than rheumatoid arthritis.
Currently there are hundreds of different medical drugs and surgeries used to treat arthritis.
Here are a few common types.
“Many people who came to cloudy Eugene to study, and who often lived in cheap
basement apartments, would develop chronic health problems within a few
months. Women who had been healthy when they arrived would often develop
premenstrual syndrome or arthritis or colitis during their first winter in Eugene.”
- Dr. Raymond Peat
Nitric Oxide is Central to Rheumatoid Arthritis
Based on the fact that red light reduces the factor that is central to rheumatoid arthritis, it seems
likely that red light will provide benefit to people with arthritis, if not cure them.
Let’s take a look at some studies to find out what the research has found.
Harvard Study on Osteoarthritis in rats
The study experimented with the application of near-infrared laser light (810nm) on
arthritis in rats. “A single application of LLLT produced significant reductions in
inflammatory cell infiltration and inflammatory cytokines 24 hours later.” Put simply, a
single treatment with near-infrared light significantly reduced inflammation in the rats.
[6]
Osteoarthritis pAIN 2007 Review in humans
Interestingly, the positive effects of these treatments lasted at least 4 weeks post-treatment.
When researchers analyzed the therapies based on what appeared to be the most optimal
doses, red light therapy came out on top as the most effective for short term pain relief.[7]
2000 Review of Red Light for Arthritis
The protocol:
• 2 sessions of exercise + red light per week for 8 weeks (16 sessions total)
• Group 1: 6J/cm² dose
• Group 2: 3J/cm² dose
• Group 3: Placebo
Findings:
All three groups experienced “significant reductions” in pain intensity, increased muscular strength
and range of motion of the knee, as well as increased physical functional ability. The greatest
improvements were found in Group 1 who received a red light dose of 6J/cm².[9]
The greatest improvements were found in Group 1 who received a red light dose of 6J/cm²
Red Light Therapy Dose Guide for Arthritis
In the previous study, pain intensity was decreased and muscular strength, range of motion and physical
function were significantly increased after a dose of 6J/cm². How long do you need to treat your knee with
our handheld light to achieve that dose?
Follow that protocol two times per week for 8 weeks before exercise
and you should achieve similar results to the people in the study.
