Any users of these panels on here? Can apparently improve mitochondrial health so I’m seriously considering investing.
Wondered if you thought worth your hard earned cash and time.
General health benefits? Any noticeable PD improvements?
And no I’m not affiliated in any way with Platinum or any other panel manufacturers.
So if there are any actual users I’d love to hear from you.
Hi JCRO, many on this site have researched red light therapy as a treatment for PD. The evidence is 99%+ conclusive red light photo biomodulation therapy has no positive impact/benefit for PWP (People With Parkinson's).
BUT NOT SO FAST!!
JC there are many people who have used red hat therapy and swear that it works. If you follow the money, the only groups benefiting are the makers of red hats. When this first hit the fan a few years ago red hat prices soared to $2500 and more. PWP will pay a premium for just about anything that will rid them of this sickness; even unproven devices advertised by double talking sales pros whose false spiel gets better every time he/she uses it!
JC there is no medical evidence that red light therapy works. I'm sure you can build a good red light therapy hat for less than $100. Where I live there two universities that have MS/PHD programs in Biomedical Engineering. Unfortunately neither wants to get into this. I have a short memory, I'm done calling. I'm stopping by !!
The research isn’t there yet, that’s fair. But I feel it’s coming. I’ve just come off a call with one of my medical professionals who is following RLT and LLLT in the context of neurological disorders. If it works at all, then not just helmets will probably work, the bigger body and face panels could too (the gut-brain axis might play a part). Yes there’s lots of “might” and “could” in my post. But it’s enough for me to invest. The panel means my wife can try it too which is a factor. Let’s hope my mitochondria perk up a bit!!! Thanks isthistheone for replying to the OP.
Hi J. All the coulds, shoulds and maybe s don't bother me. There are many things that we don't understand. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors, or TKIs for short, have been used in the oncology field for several years. Gleevec was the first targeted therapy drug in the world. Targeted therapy drug, do not kill as many good cells as chemotherapeutic drugs. Oncologists believe TKs are messengers that tell cells when to start and stop some functions. They also think TKs forget to stop some of functions which allows cancers to start. Gleevec and Tasigna are both TKIs. Google all of this it's quite interesting.
I have been using the helmet daily for 3+ years. Helmet from redlightsonthebrain website. have also used panels for about 1 year from Mito Red. I started using helmet within about a year of diagnosis. I have increased my C/L in that period. It definitely doesn’t hurt, and there is research backing it for various medical applications. I am about to purchase my second helmet from the same place with the nasal attachment for about $1100 US dollars.
Vielight is a company making and selling red light helmets. The theory is that red light stimulates the mitochondria. Mitochondrial dysfunction is thought to be a cause for PD. Vielight costs over 2k but they say if no improvement you can get 80% of your money back. I'm still considering it.
Thanks.
There are books that talk about red light therapy. Do a search for that here on Health Unlocked. There is also a lazer mechanism that could help. I have decided to get yself some infrared lamps on amazon and see what happens.

Also, when I consider buying, I have decided only to splurge on those who are willing to take it back without charging me ... otherwise I find it hard to believe it actually CAN work. Hope that helps. Also, currently reading this, and highly recommend.
My husband has been using the duo coronet red light helmet from wellred.com.au for three years now. He has his sense of smell back, he can write and draw like he used to be able to, he has a wonderful positive attitude, and is able to climb ladders, hop over fences in a way that he couldn't previously do. (He is a farmer.) He uses the helmet in the morning while eating breakfast and in the evening while eating dinner. He says he notices if he misses a session. He was diagnosed in 2012, and he started using the helmet in 2020. He still definitely needs his medication, and that need hasn't reduced. But his quality of life is very much improved. From our point of view the helmet is the best investment we have made. I highly recommend emailing Dr Catherine Hamilton at Well Red. She is friendly and helpful. catherine@wellred.com.auI'm attaching a YouTube video where she talks about the helmet.
Placebo or not, I have been using the wellred helmet with the intranasal unit as well. I recently introduced the Symbyx handheld unit and I have found improvements using red light therapy
Mitochondrial dysfunction is at the heart of PD. Dr Mercola is kind of "Out there" with his theories but I've seem some work for me. He writes: "Medications you can use strategically to support your mitochondria include vitamin K2, glycine, coQ10, B vitamins and niacinamide, and PQQ..."
My HWP is using the Welred helmet as Jeanette’s husband above and uses it every day. Here is one of my posts about it.
