Anyone using red light to help with Parkinson's?

[SylvesterB]

Does anyone use red light to help with Parkinson's? I have heard of using the red light helmet (available from Tanzania or perhaps elsewhere) but has anyone got benefit using other method of red light? Thanks!

Tasmania, not to be confused with Tanzania

Ha oh yes of course!

Do a search of "red light helmet," "infrared helmet" etc. on this site. I am located in the US and there seems to be a "coronet" helmet available in Australia and much positive feedback from people using it there.

I searched "infrared helmet for parkinson's disease" and found this for nerve pain relief, costly at $600:

There are many products available targeted for hair regrowth. I'm looking for something to improve the mitochondria in my brain.

I'm interested in Vielight, a Canadian company producing red and infrared light therapy devices. They cost upwards of $3000. I think there is a guarantee for return of a large portion if it doesn't work but I'm still unsure. I take Rytary and just started Memanine and am waiting to see if it helps. Vielight will be my 'Plan B'.

Is there anyone who has tried both infrared and cold laser therapy who can tell us which is better?.... or if they are different terms for the same thing

This post by 38yroldmale extols the benefits of cold laser therapy:

Hi SylvesterI have started using the Coronet 10 days ago and have noticed a visible improvement in my sleep. I will report on any further benefits over time. M

Hi Michel,

Any further improvement and update after 3 months of Coronet use please?

Thank you for your attention!

[Michel0220 in reply to nychengm]

Hi nychengmI have been using the coronet twice daily since the end of December. It is difficult to attribute specific improvements to the coronet only, since I have been making changes to my supplements as well as medications.

Having said that, I feel it stimulates my brain and that I have generally been feeling better since I have been using it.

I am happy that I made the investment and will keep using the device daily.

Sorry for the lack of scientific basis to my comments!

Thank you very much and you have a good weekend!

I made my own helmet for about $25. A string of red led lights, transformer, strung on a small waste basket with perforations. Might net be professional but it works. Improves stumbling, sleep, energy levels.

Search Red Coronet from Austrailia - it's about $995.00 Aus. My husband has been using his twice a day for the programmed 20 minutes - he has the duo model and he's very pleased with how he is feeling. It's been encouraging to see him feel better. We also ordered the Therapad which had infrared lights. It is suggested to put it on the abdomen area of someone with Parkinsons as they think it affects dopamine in the gut which can move to the brain. All in all it's a great fit for him.

Thanks for the reminder. I have been thinking of getting the Therapad.

[Bolt_Upright in reply to John_morris71]

This is the one I was looking at. It is a bit cheaper: amazon.com/dp/B08ZMJMJGD/?c...

[kaypeeoh in reply to Bolt_Upright]

Is it pliable; Could you wrap it around your head?

[Bolt_Upright in reply to kaypeeoh]

I "think" this is the one that somebody in HU was wrapping around their head. If it is, it is in one of the red light posts here somewhere.

[nychengm in reply to Spencer53]

Hi Spencer53,

Any further improvement and update after 3 months of Coronet and Therapad use please?

Thank you!

This was from 2 years ago, how is he doing now???

[Spencer53]

Hello nychengm - hwp has always felt good since using the Red Coronet and continues twice a day. I use the Red Light Therapad for various aches and it really helps. He has minimal tremor in his right hand and overall folks that see him think he looks great. His voice strengthened and family and friends note the clarity of his voice. Aside from the daily coronet we are embracing acupuncture which compliments hwp routine. Thank you for asking and please stay in touch. Red Light therapy is gaining notice and we think it is great.

[nychengm in reply to Spencer53]

Thank you and great to know it's working! Have a good weekend!

I've been using coronet for 5 weeks. It seems to be helpful; energizing. It's a commitment to use as its bulky and a bit clumsy. Its got a grounded plug on a 48-56" cord that connects to a large adaptor roughly 2 x 5 x 1.5 inches. From the adaptor theres a slimmer roughly 56" cord that connects to the helmet at the back. The heavy adaptor cannot sit on the floor so it needs to be on a table next to the user or on her chair.
