Thank you for the article.
I remember Brooks wrote about led lights, but I cannot remember what he said.
Does anyone have Brooks's article on LED light Therapy???????????????

That is probably also a very effective tool, and lighter to post!  I have read that the light is effective right through to bone, and I think it penetrates bone, though it depends what kind you buy; some are fairly shallow penetrating just for skin, others go in for up to eight inches.. 
 
Part of the problem with substances is getting them to the infected site when it is so deep. They can kill germs where they happen to touch them, and likely lessen the overall body load.  
 
But electricity and the light can penetrate immediately and get right deep down to the source.
 
My understanding is that you simply should not look at the lights.  If you need to find out if they are working, you can look on a closed circuit television.  I shine it on my hand, though, and that is enough to show how strong the light is, whether the batteries have run out, whatever.  Part of my reading was to say that there was temporary damage from looking briefly at the light, but that it improved without permanent damage.  However, I don't know about looking at it longer.  I would have thought it rather irresponsible to show that being done without eye protection.  But what do I know, except what I read on the internet?

 says:  So basically, the use of light-emitting diodes eliminated the draw back of lasers, and light could be applied into such sensitive areas as the eyes and around the face.
 
And

Initially, single frequency light penetrated approximately an inch and a half, but today, larger un

its can penetrate up to eight inches. It will go through the skull. We use it on strokes, concussions and internal problems in the brain. Excellent studies have been done using light for pain relief, degenerative osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel tendonitis, skin ailments, acne, psoriasis, healing of the sinus cells, throat and ear problems, whiplash and lower back problems.

 

PENETRATING THROUGH THE BLOOD STREAM You can even get light into the blood stream. One of the best ways is through your belly button, because the aorta artery is behind the belly button. So if you insert the light there for 20 minutes, every drop of blood in the body will pass in front of the light, increasing the activity of your white cells, red cells, B-cells and T-cells, so you can boost your whole immune system.

 
LED technology is used by vets on animals, so it  must work.
 

What is Light Emitting Diode Therapy?

Light Emitting Diode Therapy, commonly known as LEDT, is a form of phototherapy which involves the application of low power monochromatic and non-coherent light to injuries and lesions to stimulate healing.

There is one on another internet site that is a dental tool to shine
led healing light on gums.  It would be hard to do that with the array.
  It mentions treating infection.  It also has zappers, colloidal silver
generators, and more but I haven't ordered anything from them so I
don't know anything about them-

This site shows a woman using infrared and red leds on her face without
eye protection.  Does anyone know which leds are not good for the eyes?
