I got to wondering.
If I were to be stranded on a desert island and could take just one treatment along with me, what would it be?
Out of all of the treatments and supplements that I will often recommend, which would I want with me most?
I thought about it, and I would have to have red light therapy with me on the island.
Red light therapy can be used to treat skin conditions, fungal infections, and burns.
Red light therapy is useful in treating eye injuries.
It can also be used to help prevent and treat the more common, age-related macular degeneration.
Age-related macular degeneration affects two or three million people, perhaps more.
It’s also a generalized diagnosis eyesight loss from growing older and just not being able to see as well.
And red light therapy may actually help you prevent this deterioration of your vision as you get older.
In this study, researchers exposed people’s eyes to low-level light from a laser.

It was a red light frequency.
That’s it. That’s literally all that they did.
Treatments were for a few minutes, followed by some observations.
And the results were striking.
Statistically significant improvement in Visual Acuity and Contrast sensitivity immediately following the treatment and remaining statistically significant at one year.
Honestly, there’s no real difference between a laser and a red light.

Thanks to technology, you can get a decent red light for about $200, and you can treat yourself at home.
This may also be effective in helping your vision by preventing the need for cataracts.
But it’s very difficult to know how much effect the therapy has against cataracts.
There are no studies that I have been able to locate on this.
Cataract surgery is incredibly lucrative, and nobody really wants to kill the golden goose.
Because of the way red light therapy works, it is almost entirely 100% beneficial.
It can be counterproductive if you use too much light therapy, but it’s not that easy to get too much.
Unless you’re using a laser… I wouldn’t recommend using a laser.
I just use red LEDs.
Here’s a study showing how red light therapy helps people having eye surgery heal much faster:
The researchers found that healing occurred much faster with just a single exposure from a low-level laser.
Let’s also look at this survey about the use of lasers that was done in Japan.
It looks at red light in eye treatment, and it’s findings are quite interesting.
What makes this study even more interesting was the application time and area.
The study was focused on treating eyes, but the laser was applied to the neck.
And the laser was applied while the participants were doing some simple exercises.
So, in other words, the eyes were not irradiated.
But it seems that when you irradiate part of the body, it has a profound helpful effect over the entire body.
They treated patients for astigmatism and far-sightedness.
A high rate of improvement was seen for both close range and far range visual acuity.
But a particularly noteworthy improvement rate of 91.7% was seen at examination for far sightedness immediately after low-reactive level laser treatments.
I’ve been experimenting with red light and eyes.
I close my eyes when I use a light.
And I only use red light, nothing else.
Bluelight can be very harmful to the eyes, so I avoid it.
Also, I use it for a very short amount of time so as not to heat up the eye.
I think I’ve already noticed some improvement in my night vision and my eyesight in general.
The key is going slowly.
You need to listen to your body if you’re going to try something like this.
Don’t blame me if you go blind, LOL.
I think this is a great direction to go in, though.
You’ll find red light useful for all kinds of problems in your body, and for improving your overall health more than anything else.
It’s best not to use a laser at home, as lasers aren’t as safe as red lights.
And there are plenty of red light devices available online and in stores.
If you do try this, let me know how it goes.
I’ll share it (anonymously) with the other 60,000 or so subscribers.
