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? On the other hand, http://www.consumerhealth.org/articles/display.cfm?ID=20000102232338 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. LEDT is used to increase the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair, resolve inflammation, and give pain relief. The technical term often used to describe this form of therapy is photobiomodulation. LEDT is distinct from LLLT, in that LEDs do not produce coherent light waves. However, many practitioners believe that the effects of LEDT are similar, and some research has indicated this to be the case. LEDs have a number of significant benefits over lasers in some respects. LEDs are a good deal cheaper than laser diodes, thus making them ideal for use in cluster probes, and are inherently more robust so they can withstand rougher treatment. This is why NASA has chosen to use LEDT. http//www.msfc.nasa.gov/news R 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- http://www.elixa.com/light/arrays.htm 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?
