Has anyone experience of improving thyroid function/ Hypothyroidism using Low‐level laser therapy / infrared light?

The conclusion on this 'medical' article (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi... is:

Conclusion

The preliminary results indicate that LLLT promotes the improvement of thyroid function, as patients experienced a decreased need for LT4, a reduction in TPOAb levels, and an increase in parenchymal echogenicity. Lasers Surg. Med. 42:589–596, 2010. © 2010 Wiley–Liss, Inc.

Somebody was talking about their experience of this maybe a year ago I don’t remember who and if I find her posts I will paste the link here. However, Ari Whitten has also written a book on the benefits of red and near-infrared light therapy and one of the benefits is for the thyroid.

There’s a podcast transcript here and more details on his book and work where he speaks to Dr Michael Ruscio:

“Thyroid conditions, Hashimoto’s, some amazing research there. Probably, about, maybe 10 studies, overall, have been done on that topic, some with really remarkable benefits with people being able to wean off their thyroid medications. In some cases, completely and in other cases, certainly, reduce their thyroid hormone levels.”
