Tumor pain relief with red light therapy.

No_stone_unturned profile image

I’m in a wash out period for an upcoming trial and had to manage the tumor growth pain in my ribs. My wife bought me these for Xmas and I said, “what the heck, I’ll try it.”

Before using it I was taking 200mg of tramadol every 6 hours. Since using it…nothing. Is this coincidence or has anyone else experienced similar results? This curious mind wants to know.

I didn't have luck with red light. I did however alleviate pain with Psilocybin.

I don’t, but I do high dose 50/50 oils (cbd/thc) nightly. It’s the only way I can mostly sleep through the night. I think it may be responsible for the consequence of me no longer able to get drunk anymore and shrooms barely affect me at any dose. (I’ve done over 12g of PE and it barely affected me). So bizzare and I have no clue why. Maybe it’s a pathway thing. If I ever figure out this Pc thing maybe I’ll do a study on this next. lol. Happy new year.

There are some treatments in clinical trials that use near inferred light to activate chemicals that have been brought to tumor sites either by injection or use of PSMA technology. They have produced encouraging early results.

Coincidence? When I was young and in the Army I used to visits city districts known for their all year round RED Christmas lights, and I too found relief and comfort there.....Wow, how I miss those days!!! Happy 365 days ahead of us ...

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Yeah, this is something I didn't really understand.

If you read Gerard Pollocks book The Fourth Phase of Water Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor, it basically says (or at least my understanding is) light charge seperates water into a fourth form (othersbeing solid, liquid and gas). This is referred to as EZ water. It sperates the water into its positive and negative charges and creates effectively a battery. He writes...

If the EZ battery underlies the capacity to transmit signals, then

eliminating the battery should eliminate the signals; the brain should

never get the message. Local anesthetics do just that: the pain

sensation never makes it to your brain. This action provides an

experimental testing tool: if the EZ underlies signaling, then

anesthetics should wipe out the EZ.

So, basically the EZ water would increase signalling and anesthetics would remove the EZ water and block the pain.

This would suggest to me that using light therapy would in fact enhance the pain sensation.

It's probably more complicated than that, but that's what I concluded. I didn't look any further into usiing light specificsally for pain relief.

I'm sure it's not the full story mind you. There's a lot other things that red light does. It improves vasodialation for better blood flow, promotes repair of tissues and bone etc. If I remember right the complex IV in the electron transport chain uses red light.There's quite a list. Actually I think the bone doesn't actually repair. It gets rebuilt. A repair would result in some sort of scaring which would make it structurally weaker. So it gets rebuilt and not healed. Red light is used in that as well.

Yes, that happened with me! I was having soreness in my lower spine. With the bone scan, I had hot spots at T12 and L2. At about the same time, I found that curcumin can be photo-activated by red lights. So I took high dose/absorption curcumin twice/day and 2 hours later shone a super bright red flashlight into my back for 20 minutes. After a few weeks, the discomfort was gone and the scan was clean. I have some rib Mets, so I bought a red-NIR mat, which I wrap around my chest and back in the same manner as with my spine. I will need another bone scan at some point, but haven’t had a rib issue for several months now. Be sure the red-NIR matt is 100mw / sq cm or brighter. I have also used red on my chest and head when catching the flu and finds that it controls the symptoms and flu duration.

here’s a link to a comprehensive review.
