Green Light Therapy

So I stumbled across green light therapy and am wondering if anyone has tried it for pain relief.

They put rats inside container which had green light around the edges and compared the pain tolerance before and after the treatment.  The green light therapy increased the rats pain tolerance greatly. 

All lights stimulate neurons to fire. However green light produces the smallest reaction from neurons compared to other colors.

It sounds interesting, but would it not be better to try to find the root cause of the pain?

If there is a way to treat the pain then yes they should do that. Otherwise they may want try Green light therapy. I don't have pain except when I stub my toe or try to do something productive. The latter is so painful.

Looks like it’s meant for pain that can’t really be treated.  Not sure it would hurt anyone but right now it’s being tested for HIV patients ( according to your article). Would be great if it reduced the amount of pain meds.  

Not sure why you have pain .... I hope it has been diagnosed because treated Celiac should not cause pain everyday

      abnormal weight loss

      By glucel · Posted

      I had a triple bypass so do not eat cheese or butter but I use avocado oil freely. Do not eat potato chips etc every night anymore instead fruit and or bowl of cereal with nut milk. Diet is much cleaner now but qty remains the same. My diet seems nutritional enough and pretty much follows: breakfast- hard boiled egg, 1/2 oz beef liver, cereal: flax, milk thistle pumpkin seed and oatmeal mixed together Lunch/dinner-  meat, chicken or salmon with potato or rice or quinoa and veggies no oil sometimes salad with dressing. Bread if needed. supper- 3 slice bread peanut or cashew butter or 5 grain cereal with nut milk, or soup loaded with rice or whatever evening- fruit maybe potato chips or cookies when I just have to do it. Ordinarily try not to keep them in house. I put on a pound or so when potato chips are eaten for couple days. I use to eat much more fat but am more careful now after bypass so suppose that makes a difference. I think small intestine might have something to do with it but was looking for confirmation.

      Still Having Issues, Dont know Why

      I recall some statistic I heard some years back, that in powdered chocolate milk there were something like 25 different stages in the production process taking into account all the ingredients.  I can see that if this is true, the more stages there are the more chances there are for cross-contamination.  Eating whole foods helps minimise or totally eliminate this risk.  It took me several years for my tTG levels to return to normal, and looking back maybe processed food could have been part of the problem.  Definitely worth trying cooking from scratch.

      I've not used their service, but it seems like a reasonable way to go if you can afford it. Let us know how it goes.

      Are you eating enough protein, fat and carbohydrates? Healthy carbs like corn tortillas, rice and beans can help you gain weight. Increasing the fat content in meals can help individuals with celiac disease feel less hungry by providing longer-lasting satiety, since fats digest more slowly than carbohydrates and proteins.

      Still Having Issues, Dont know Why

      I don't mean to scold, but none of what you're eating there is food, every single thing is a food product, which means raw food adulterated with various additives. It's at that adulteration point where various nasties that the body dislikes start to creep in. Bulking agents, colours, sugar, various gums and additives. And of course, trace amounts of gluten. If possible - and i imagine this won't be easy or cheap, but it's worthwhile - try and get more whole foods into your diet, and cook them from scratch. That means meat, fish, tolerated grains, fruit and veg. At the moment you are basically eating trash - sorry!
