Wellness.com - Macular Degeneration and Blue Light — a Very Serious Problem... Especially for Aging Eyes by Ken Ceder

Blue light - , especially from electronic devices and LED lights, has been all over the news lately, primarily warning about sleep interference. However, there's real -urgency- to learn about light and your health —-especially those with aging eyes. Few people stop to think about light, much less the effects different colors of light can have on our bodies, moods, and overall health. Stepping outdoors into sunlight, flipping a light switch indoors and shining from our televisions, computers and cell phones. . . light is all around us!

-
- All of these things result in your eyes being exposed to a variety of visible and sometimes invisible light rays that can have a range of biological effects. Without even thinking about it, your body uses light to regulate your biological clock that controls appetite, energy, mood, sleep, libido and other body-mind functions. Light also plays a role in basic functions of the human brain such as alertness, memory, emotion, and cognitive performance. The health effects of visible light, blue light as well as invisible ultra violet (UV) and infrared radiation (IR) have not been clearly elucidated until now. We are perfectly adapted to the radiation of our sun on Earth by evolution. This becomes obvious when you look at the medical studies on light use prior to the advent of antibiotics. Original data clearly shows the health benefits of heliotherapy (solar radiation therapy) that living things get naturally. Today, living things no longer get those radiations from standard lighting that focuses - only - on the visible light spectrum. Today’s light is unbalanced! - Corporations like General Electric and Phillips removed invisible UV (ultra violet) and IR (infrared light) to save energy and money, but apparently never thought to test how this version of light would affect living things. We have no defenses to chronic blue light when UV and IR are subtracted. Sunlight includes an abundance of IR as well as visible red light. These longer wavelengths provide -metabolic power to the cells. High energy visible (HEV) blue light is a very powerful stimulus and this helps explain why the eye must have infrared present anytime blue light is present to offset the mitochondrial damage it can cause. Today’s artificial light is created without any stimulus of UV or IR as is present in the sun. The Good - It's well documented that some HEV blue light exposure is essential for good health. Did you know blue light can make you feel better and increase energy? Sunlight is the main source of blue light, and being outdoors during daylight is where many of us get most of our exposure to it. In its natural -balanced- form, blue light from the sun helps our bodies determine day from night, and thus, when it's time for sleep. Exposure to blue light during daytime hours helps maintain a healthful -circadian rhythm. In fact, the lack of daytime blue light can disrupt this cycle, potentially causing sleepless nights and daytime fatigue. Research has shown that HEV boosts alertness, helps memory and -cognitive function- and elevates mood. In fact, 'blue light therapy' is now used to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD) — a type of -depression- that's related to changes in seasons that can result in debilitating fatigue, appetite changes, and mood disorders. Studies have shown that for some people, monochromatic blue light (containing only one color) can be just as effective as antidepressant medications. However, most light sources for this therapy emit 'bright white light' that contains a significant amount HEV blue light rays. The Bad - In addition to natural sunlight, there are many man-made, indoor sources of blue light which include fluorescent and energy efficient LED lighting. Most notably, LED light bulbs, computer display screens, electronic notebooks, and smart phones emit significant amounts of HEV. The amount of HEV these devices emit is only a fraction of that emitted by the sun. But the amount of time people spend indoors radiated by unbalanced light and using these devices as well as the proximity of screens to the user's face have many health care professionals concerned about possible long-term effects of blue light, -especially on eye health. Risk of Macular Degeneration - The fact that blue light penetrates all the way to the retina of the eye is important, because research has shown that too much exposure to blue light, especially from LED lights, can damage light-sensitive cells in the retina. This causes changes that resemble those of macular degeneration which can lead to permanent vision loss.This is -a serious problem with new LED lighting. Invisible near infrared light (NIR) helps prime the cells in your retina for ‘repair and regeneration’ and helps reduce the risk of macular degeneration.

Shining Light on a Contemporary Epidemic

Wellness.com - Shining Light on a Contemporary Epidemic by Ken Ceder

- Since the beginning of human history people have lived, worked and played outdoors during the light of day, active and vibrant, absorbing the full spectrum of light from the sky. An average of 10 hours each day, 70 hours weekly, was common for eons. But in less than just 200 years, millions of people have unwittingly become “contemporary cave dwellers” living and working indoors. This dramatic reduction of natural light exposure was coined “mal-illumination” by the late Dr. John Ott, the father of full-spectrum light technology. And it is silently, and negatively, affecting our health. The full spectrum of sunlight energy, -that our genes are programmed to respond to-, is essential for the development, growth, and maintenance of not only a healthy body, but critical for a healthy mind as well. Mal-illumination is brought about by limiting our daily intake of -full-spectrum- daylight and supplementing it with too much artificial -limited-spectrum- indoor light, -especially blue light at night - ,- and by shielding ourselves from the sun with such things as tinted windows, windshields, sunglasses and sunscreen lotions. Mal-illumination silently contributes to many adverse health issues and -some are quite serious- — obesity, depression, fatigue, sleep & eating disorders as well as breast, prostate and colon cancer. Like malnutrition, mal-illumination causes deficiencies by depriving us of the sun’s vital "energetic nutrients" which enter the body through the eyes and skin. Sunlight striking the skin produces natural vitamin D while light entering the eyes regulates vital circadian rhythms that control -appetite, energy, mood, sleep, libido and other body-mind functions. The fact is, humans are photobiotic "solar beings," and all of us are absolutely dependent on the absorption of radiant, solar energy. Every metabolic process, every enzyme reaction, muscular movements, the digestion of food and the burning of fat are all biological processes that are augmented by sunlight energy. A reduction of "natural light energy" causes a slowdown in these processes that leads to decreased metabolism, reduced burning of fat, reduced vitality and compromised immunity. The human body functions much like a green plant, collecting energy from the atmosphere. The nervous system may be described as a network of electrical wires which conduct photons of light energy. Light energy is collected by the skin and eyes, converted into photocurrent and channeled throughout the entire nervous system. This photocurrent is then distributed to the internal organs and cells via the individual nerves. In addition to activating sight in the visual cortex, photocurrent also travels to the brain’s main control center, the hypothalamus. Informed by photocurrent, the hypothalamus then helps regulate brain chemistry, essential hormones and circadian rhythms. The current Age of Information has caused a radical shift away from nature’s health regulating solar energy. Unwittingly, millions of people are now starving for the sun’s life energy and suffering from Mal-illumination.-

Wellness.com - This Indoor Pollution Can Cause Brain Fog by Ken Ceder

Would you swim in a pool of polluted water? Of course not. Not intentionally anyway. But every day, every one of us unknowingly "swims" in indoor pollution, some of it of our own making. It's called EMF and it stands for Electromagnetic Frequency. EMF radiation is all around us and it's like an ocean of indoor pollution. It is generated from computers, laptops, tablets, cell phones, etc. What most of us don't know is that it can actually cause brain fog, as well as other health issues (see list further below) because it restricts blood flow and oxygen supply to your brain. If you’re able to, I highly encourage you to watch this 2-minute video right now. It so clearly shows you how exposure to EMF radiation from your screened devices affects your blood and health!... [Dr. Magda Havas, PhD (2:32) is not associated with Science of Light. This educational video is not an endorsement]. Artificial, non-native EMF (nnEMF) radiation currently surrounds us at levels never before documented until now. Our own ‘native’ electromagnetic signals are very weak compared to nnEMFs exposure, which can interfere with our body’s internal electromagnetic systems and may be causing or contributing to the following health issues: - Insomnia - Headache & Migraine
- Muscle & Joint Pain - Depression, Anxiety & Irritability - Short Term Memory Problems - Nerve Pain & Eye Pain - Tingling & Numbness…- and more - Shielding Mitigates nnEMF from the Outside
- A common approach used to mitigate nnEMF radiation is shielding materials (paints, fabrics, films, etc.) that block or reduce radiation exposure from high level or direct / close proximity emissions. Unfortunately, shielding does not reduce the radiation from your WiFi, your neighbor’s WiFi, local cell towers and many other sources. LED Therapy Mitigates nnEMF from the Inside - LED therapy, also known as photomodulation - (the modulation of the cell by light), is a scientific method that allows the use of specific wavelengths of the light spectrum for therapeutic purposes to stimulate the metabolic activity of cells. Fullest-Spectrum- LED Therapy- uses low intensity LEDs (light emitting diodes) to create a process similar to plant photosynthesis whereby plants convert sunlight energy into chemical energy. Photo-Biology Pioneer - More than 30 years ago, Dr. John Ott was the first to discover that red blood cells clump together (rouleaux) when exposed to nnEMF radiation from computers and other electronic devices. Dr. Ott concluded that the clumping was caused by iron in the red blood cells being magnetized from EMF pollution. Natural, - Native - EMF Counterbalances - Non Native - EMF - Dr. Ott observed that when the clumped red blood cells were exposed to full-spectrum light that included invisible wavelengths, the rouleaux condition returned to a normal flowing cell pattern and the oxygen supply was no longer inhibited. The sun is the primary source of natural, ‘native’ EMFs. When indoors, violet and red light wavelengths are proving to be very helpful in balancing the excessive ‘blue light’ exposures from screens and electronics as well as other non-native EMF sources like the ubiquitous WiFi. Science of Light is pleased to announce that we've developed the -Fullest-Spectrum- LED Therapy that includes violet, red and invisible near infrared light for -essential - Light Hygiene. Closest to Natural Sunlight and unlike any other LED Therapy. — SOLshine Photo-Nutrition™ is now available for limited pre-order @ -

MAN DOES NOT LIVE BY FOOD ALONE... HE ALSO LIVES ON LIGHT - "One third of the energy your body consumes comes from the food you eat. The vast majority of the energy your body needs to maintain systemic equilibrium comes from environmental infrared light exposure." - — - Dr. Alexander Wunsch, MD, PhD, -world class expert on photobiology - Light supports vision and keeps us in sync with nature and now we know that it also catalyzes the production of most of the energy we need for metabolism, movement, repair and regeneration. When applied as therapy, this is called photomodulation (modulation of the cell by light) and is also known as, LED phototherapy or LED therapy. LED Therapy creates a process similar to plant photosynthesis (the conversion light energy into chemical energy). This therapeutic light is absorbed by the cells and produces an amazing cascade of events. Every metabolic process, enzyme reaction, muscular movement, the digestion of food and the burning of fat are augmented by sunlight energy. A reduction of natural light energy causes a slowdown in these processes that leads to decreased metabolism, reduced burning of fat, reduced vitality & compromised immunity. LED therapy is now helping people with a wide range of conditions including, but not limited to, pain, mood disorders, macular degeneration, cognitive decline and many other conditions. What’s equally amazing is that the type of light that elicits these benefits, is available without prescription and can be safely used in the comfort of your own home. Exposure to natural sunlight triggers the production of most of the energy required for cellular metabolism as well as repair and regeneration. The true full-spectrum of natural light energy -—balanced with both visible and invisible light— -is - essential for the devlopment, growth and maintenance of a healthy body and mind. Since the beginning of human history people have lived, worked and played outdoors during the light of day, active and vibrant, absorbing the full spectrum of light energy photons from the sky.

Wellness.com - Macular Degeneration & Blue Light... A Smokin' Gun? by Ken Ceder

In addition to blue light at night from electronics causing sleep problems, the fact that high energy visible (HEV) blue light penetrates all the way to the retina of the eye is of serious concern. Research has shown that too much exposure to blue light, especially from LED lights -can cause adverse effects to one’s vision- that resemble those of macular degeneration which can lead to permanent vision loss. The health effects of visible light, blue light as well as invisible ultra violet (UV) and near infrared (NIR) light have not been clearly elucidated until now. We are perfectly adapted to the natural radiation of our sun on Earth by evolution. This becomes obvious when you look at the medical studies on light use prior to the advent of antibiotics. Original data clearly shows the health benefits of heliotherapy (solar radiation therapy) that living things get naturally. . Invisible near infrared light helps prime the cells in your retina for ‘repair and regeneration’ and helps reduce the risk of macular degeneration. Early on, the lighting manufacturers did not include invisible UV or NIR. Presumably, their focus was limited to the ‘visual affects’ of light and not the ‘biological affects’ that research is discovering today. Apparently, manufacturer’s never thought to test how this unnatural version of light would affect living things. Unfortunately, we have no natural defense to chronic blue light when NIR is subtracted. Sunlight includes an abundance of NR as well as visible red light. These longer wavelengths provide -metabolic power to the cells- and counter balance the shorter blue light wavelengths. HEV light is a very powerful stimulus and this helps explain why the eye must have NIR present anytime blue light is present to offset the mitochondrial damage it can cause. Mitochondria, found in most cells, can be considered the power generators of the cell. Unlike nature, indoor lighting does not include essential invisible light wavelengths that are critical for optimum health and well-being.

Hi, my name is Ken Ceder. As a health science researcher I want to share something important with you. I’d like to shine a light on a little known silent epidemic that affects millions of people worldwide and they don’t even realize it. I’d also like to shine a light on its solution. This has been a passion of mine for decades… - Since the beginning of human history people have lived, worked and played outdoors during the light of day, absorbing the full spectrum of light from the sun. Over the years, however, because of modernization and technology, millions of people have unwittingly become “contemporary cave dwellers,” living and working indoors and -thereby starving themselves of the sun’s nutrients. Maybe you're one of many who realize they don't spend nearly as much time outside as they'd like to. This dramatic reduction in exposure to natural light has been coined “-mal-illumination-” and it is silently, and negatively, affecting our health. The full spectrum of sunlight energy is essential for the development, growth, and maintenance of not only a healthy body, but it is critical for a healthy mind as well. And most of us do not get enough of it. Read on to see if you're at risk, millions are at risk for mal-illumination and don’t even realize it. Some of those most at risk for mal-illumination are: - indoor workers
- shift workers
- housebound workers or parents
- the elderly
- tech/computer workers - Simply put, mal-illumination is like malnutrition; -it causes deficiencies. When our daily intake of full-spectrum daylight is limited, - bad things can start to happen. Mal-illumination silently contributes to -many- adverse health issues and some are quite serious, such as: - weight gain
- depression
- moodiness
- carbohydrate cravings
- fatigue
- libido problems
- sleep disorders
- eating disorders
- breast cancer - It has been my mission to raise awareness of this syndrome and to find a solution that would help reduce people’s risk of mal-illumination and these conditions. I even created a non-profit organization to further this mission. I’d like to invite you to join our social venture.

Biological Enlightenment

Wellness.com - Biological Enlightenment by Ken Ceder

Most have heard of "enlightenment" as in spiritual, but few are likely to be as familiar with "bio-enlightenment" as in body-mind health and disease prevention. "Man does not live by bread alone . . . he also lives on light." - Humans are photobiotic ‘solar beings’ — absolutely dependent on the absorption of vital solar radiation. We are human photocells whose ultimate biological nutrient is sunlight. Every metabolic process is regulated and augmented by sunlight energy. LIGHT is Life Energy-! - The current science of photobiology, the study of the effects of light on living organisms can be traced to ancient cultures through their use of color and light for healing. More recently, light (therapy) for healing and health was in vogue until the discovery of penicillin and the world of pharmaceuticals. As a matter of fact, Niels Ryberg Finsen, a physician and scientist of Icelandic descent was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology in 1903 in recognition of his contribution to the treatment of diseases with concentrated light radiation. Today light for health and disease prevention is again beginning to be rediscovered. Every day, more people become interested in the potential benefits of light and dark and its effects on human health and wellbeing. Lighting characteristics that are effective to the circadian system are different than those effective to the visual system. Biological rhythms that repeat approximately every 24 hours are called circadian rhythms. Light is the main stimulus that helps the circadian clock, and thus circadian rhythms, keep a synchronized rhythm with the 24-hour solar day. Humans need to be exposed to a sufficient amount and quality of light for the biological clock to remain synchronized with the solar day. If lack of synchrony or circadian disruption occurs, we may experience decrements in physiological functions, neurobehavioral performance, and sleep. Light entering our eyes regulates vital circadian rhythms that control appetite, energy, mood, sleep, libido and other body-mind functions. In addition to circadian rhythms, expanding photobiology research is discovering that varying light wavelengths (colors) can elicit biological responses much like a vitamin or nutrient. As a matter of fact . . .- light is a nutrient.- The wrong kind of light can absolutely contribute to adverse health just as the right kind can help support good health. The fact that so many are literally in the dark about light's vital relationship with health is a cause of serious concern and the cornerstone of our non-profit mission to raise awareness of mal-illumination. Mal-illumination is brought about by limiting our daily intake of -balanced,- full-spectrum daylight and supplementing it with too much artificial 'limited-spectrum' indoor light. Mal-illumination silently contributes to many health issues, some quite serious —obesity, depression, fatigue, sleep and eating disorders as well as breast, prostate and colon cancer. Like malnutrition, mal-illumination causes deficiencies by depriving us of the sun's energetic nutrient wavelengths referred to as photo-nutrition. Warnings associated with blue light emitted from cell phones, computers, LED light bulbs and other electronics has been all over the news lately. We now know that too much blue light, especially at night can affect sleep and contribute to other health issues. And there's growing awareness that new LED lighting technology is lacking critical light wavelengths essential to health, especially vision and macular degeneration concerns. Blue light aside, on the other end of the spectrum, red and invisible near infrared light (NIR) has a major beneficial impact in terms of health especially for your eyes and cell energy. NIR helps prime the cells in the retina for ‘repair and regeneration’ and helps reduce the risk of macular degeneration and is vital to the production of energy on the cellular level.-

- Molecules that absorb NIR light are found in your mitochondria. Mitochondria-,- found in most cells, can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into cellular energy ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the fuel your cells need for all of their varied functions, including metabolism. Don’t be in the dark about your health.
