Infrared Light That Reverses Dementia
The concept of shining light onto the skull and essentially eliminating the debilitating affects of dementia and Alzheimer's may seem a little farfetched, but researchers from the University of Sunderland led by Dr. Gordon Dougal believe that this method has a fighting chance. This technology has the potential to be an enormous scientific breakthrough, in that the current treatments for this condition merely slow the rate of deterioration of the brain, while the infrared treatment promises to stop the deterioration as well as partially reversing the process altogether.
“As we get older, cells stop repairing themselves and we age because our cells lose the desire to regenerate and repair themselves. This ultimately results in cell death and decline of the organ functions, for the brain resulting in memory decay and deterioration in general intellectual performance. But what if there was a technology that told the cells to repair themselves and that technology was something as simple as a specific wavelength of light? Near infrared light penetrates human tissues relatively well, even penetrating the human skull, just as sunlight passes through frosted glass.” The specific wavelength of light for this type of procedure would be 1072 nm, a wavelength that occurs naturally in sunlight, and is not harmful in moderation. The idea for this technology was derived from a previous treatment, developed by Dr. Dougal, for the elimination of cold sores. The infrared light stimulates the cells to grow and attack the virus causing a removal of the sore, so the concept of growth stimulation was extended to the brain.
One in three people will end their lives with a form of dementia.
The treatment itself will consist of
the patient wearing the specifically designed helmet, consisting of 700LED lights that emit the 1072 nm infrared light, for periods of merely 10 minutes a day. The picture on the right is of the prototype helmet that is will be tested in the future. Although there has not been full scale human testing done, one family was willing to try the procedure in desperation. Clem Fennel was 57 years old and a victim of chronic dementia. He was unable to speak upwards of one syllable, couldn't answer the phone, and couldn't be left unattended. Upon recieving the treatment for 10 minutes daily, the family saw drastic changes in just three weeks. He became able to hold conversations, go to the store by himself, and his wife said that he finally had his personality back. This process changed the family's lives forever, and has the potential to do the same for many more.
One in three people will end their lives with a form of dementia. Around 700,000 suffer from dementia - with more than half having Alzheimer's disease. With this new technology the numbers could be significantly lowered, and many family's will be changed for the better. The infrared helmet technology essentially has the ability to reverse the effects of dementia and Alzheimer's disease only through the power of light.
