Do you recall what kind of red LED light healing "therapy" was being applied? I would guess it had something to do with the acceleration of healing certain skin problems, possibly allergies. I know from my own experience that I occasionally got little moody around the end of January and February way up here in the wilds of Wisconsin. I got a recommendation to use a full-spectrum light to simulate natural sunlight. Turn it on for an hour or so first thing in the morning. Seemed to work. Since I started walking to and from work year-round I suspect being exposed to a strong dose of natural sunlight on a regular basis had something to do with keeping the SADs at bay. Haven't had to use the artificial sun lamp since. > Tin foil hat that I am, I still would never have > seen that coming. > > So how can claims like this be verified/falsified in this > environment?
