Such a helpful and insightful interview. I was considering purchasing a head device but this has made me decide to wait until there is further research and understanding on safety. My mind was majorly blown when he said ‘there’s a theory in quantum physics that our memories are stored in the universe and accessed by alpha waves’ 🤯🤯🤯 that is such an interesting and exciting concept 🤓 would love to learn more about that.

It would be great for you to do a short follow up video with your thoughts and takeaways from the interview 💪🙏 👍

Such a great interview, all the information is fascinating! Would love to see more interviews with renowned scientists like this!

Brilliant conversation! Thank you so much Alex and Dr Beck 👍Wish you all the best Alex.

Dr. Martin Pall was first to research the oxidative stress with ROS (reactive oxygen stress) (formerly called free radicals). Look for YT PALL presentations and reearch papers. I wonder what Dr Beck thinks about using the light to correct the mitochondia which have been ravaged by misbehaving mast cells as in Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). For the questions that you don't know....can you ask Dr Beck to answer them? Some of our questions may stimulate him to investigate further.

Fascinating interview. My question is when Dr. Beck mentioned that he felt therapy below the eyes was safe, how does that translate to red light therapy? Was he saying he had reservations about using red light therapy on the face and head? Or was he only referring to laser treatment in that statement? Thanks

My son has had a normal EEG for 24 years and seizures that Dr's have never really seen before. I would love to try new therapies because in the US all the Dr's do is throw drugs at him, never looking at why his normal brain does these events. I would love to go to a Funcional Neurologist, this Dr is brillant. I love this interview, I am looking for insight to try to find a cure so my son does not have to worry about these again. Gut brain connection is so interesting as well.

This video likely won't have as many 100% views as your others, but it should. Thank you so much to Dr Beck for dedicating his research to this and taking the time to share his finding in simple terms and examples with us. His research reveals concerns in how we use RLT (or the sun), and shows we need more development in this promising science. Can't wait to hear the product mfgs scramble to respond to Dr Beck's findings and recent research (despite the mfgs non-commitment by using words like "may", "might", "could", etc).

You rock Alex. Such an amazing channel.

This was by far the best interview for my interest. As a clinical researcher who has been focusing PBMt for chronic inflammatory response syndrome, specifically in areas of neuro, immune / gut and cardiovascular inflammation. Dr. Beck’s insights on the mechanism of action, and the pathways of activation were so very insightful and confirms many of the other modalities that I think are important, such as nutraceuticals that can be combined to improve the outcomes. For example Dr. Lima in the United States has been focusing on the use of methylene blue to improve outcomes of PBMt. Wish there was more formal training on activation points and dosing for stem cells. Can we develop a curriculum for education with Dr. Beck ?

What an amazing interview. Please keep this sort of thing coming, I will be sharing this in some of the groups I run. I need to watch this at least one more time with, because there is so much valuable info contained in it. Great work and good luck with your son

I am so appreciative of the work you do! I’ve been watching your channel for about 2 years and you present everything with such honesty and integrity. You’re humble and discerning in your approach but also create excitement over the possibilities of such treatments. Thank you, Alex!

I'd really love to hear more from doctors who are using panels. People with his kind of medical background who are using red light panels in their practice. That would mean sooo much to me.

I loved this interview! It explained a lot of my long Covid symptoms that I had after Covid. My immune system was hyper active and the information about the gut/brain relationships explained a lot of why I was having autoimmune symptoms along with allergic reactions. Thankfully I have already calmed my immune system by brain retraining and healing my gut. I am wanting to invest in an red light panel to increase my energy and possibly continue my gut healing!

Thanks Alex for this great interview! I'll have to listen to it again as it was difficult for me to understand at times (English is not my first language and accents can be quite pronounced). This doctor is really great and out of the ordinary. We need a lot of such brilliant and open-minded doctors to move medicine forward! I hope that everything will work out for your son and that he will be all right.

Please continue to offer such content. Was wonderful to hear Dr. Beck's insights. However, I'm concerned about using red light therapy from the eyes, upward, given what Dr. Beck reported. Can you continue to investigate this dilemma? Thanks.

I guess if you have been using the panels for over 6 years and been standing close to them, face and head too, without any really negative effects thus far that's reassuring! what is the amount of time you usually use them for?

This is one of the most eye-opening things I've come across lately. This and the videos you did on the light coverage of body panels. I'm a new subscriber having come across your YT channel about a week ago. Already, due to you, I've bought a MitoPro+ panel which is on its way to me as we speak. I was tossing up between this and Platinum BIOMAX. The reason I went with Mito in the end was that I want this primarily for skincare (anti-aging), and Mito had 50% of its leds in 630nm and 830nm (the standard wavelengths used by skincare companies) while Platinum only had 15%. Thank you for the wealth of knowledge you share with us.

Thanks Alex, I didn’t know what I didn’t know.

This is my absolute favorite video of yours, thank you! I started looking into RLT and found you because dementia runs in my family. I started using a Platinum panel on my head about a year ago, to try to prevent dementia. I'm only in the middle of this video, but I'm so excited about this video haha! Thanks again! P.S. I'm a pretty healthy person (with a lot of hair on my head lol), so hopefully I didn't do more damage - but now I know, keep the panel below my eyes

Well, if I wasn't procrastinating before on which one to buy; I'm now probably going to take a lot longer. Very good interview...

Fantastic information!!! I’m going to need to replay several times to soak this in. Question: Are Avologi ENEO TOTALÉ lasers strong enough for home therapy? 450nm

My man, I have learned so much from this. Thank you! Not even half way through yet. The Doc & the science history is fascinating

Awesome interview Alex. So much information and great science! - love it! While you're in Perth/re visiting Perth, maybe look up Dr Anthony Chaffee, Royal Perth Hospital. He's a neurosurgical resident, body builder, ex rugby player and I reckon could give you an alternative to medication etc for your son but also help you with your fitness goals. He has a KZfaq (Pant Free MD) and all the socials - lots about gut and brain and inflammation.

Sir- Dr Kruse is a neurosurgeon that you would really enjoy and perhaps may enjoy interviewing also

Very interesting conversation. I love where this is all going, tying different areas of research together. I look forward to more on this subject.

I did not understand a tenth of what you were discussing, but it was riveting and fascinating! God bless you both, so that you can continue to help others. 🙏

Am I getting this right, that laser is bad for above eyes but leds are ok? Also: I cant find any evidence, that red light Therapy is bad if used above the brain? (No peer reviewed stuff on pubmed )

Alex, thank you for such a wonderful interview. Dr Beck and psychiatrist, Dr Daniel Amen,MD should be collaborating. Dr. Amen, the first psychiatrist to image the brain structure for a more accurate diagnosis.

I greatly appreciate this. And would love more episodes that are similar (science based).

Best interview ever ... Dr Rhonda Patrick mist one ...

That was dense with information, thanks. Would love to see Dr Beck to talk with researchers from vielight though. It sounds like he's against an out of the box solution like this, but their peer reviewed research shows that it works on a range of issues. I'd love to go to Dr Beck's for my kids but it's financially unviable right now, whereas one vielight or similar device is achievable if you're using it on more than one person

Thank you so much. These are less harsh medical treatments technology.

I wondered why using a frequency device on my side gave me such good results with my memory which is in my head. Must be the gut brain connection. After watching this video I may just stop using devices on my head and focus on my right side instead. I no longer have the device I used in the past. But I'm experimenting with red light on the same area of my side to see what effect it may have on my memory.

GO GO GO GO OG Alex!!! 💪🧠🌏🌋

High level for me but what a treat for those who understand. Still interesting. I’ll watch the other half tomorrow. Great work Alex!!!

Thank you for this excellent presentation. Dr. Beck referred preferentially to laser for his research. Yet, most of your viewers probably found this interview through research into consumer products which you have reviewed that are more Redlight and NIR, correct? If the spectrum of tissue penetration moves from redlight-least through laser- most (which laser ?) with NIR somewhere in between, can the associated risks be quantified in a graph for us? Your graphs have been excellent for this sort of thing. Specifically, what is the risk of lypolysis associated with the light therapy spectrum mentioned above? The brain and myelin are composed greatly of cholesterol (lipids), is the benefit/risk for potential above eye therapy for some brain or eye issue quantifiable in any meaningful way? The dillema seems: As you have pointed out, there are known mitochdrial and healing benefits from these therapies. The brain has lots of mitrochondria and their diminishment through age or disease may be associated with neuro-cognition deficit. On paper, NGF, retinal , migraines, seem prime canditates for targeted light therapy- all above the eye. How can we find out more on this?

Very interested in this topic and generally understanding why and how RLT works (i.e. ❤ing science), so very much looking forward to watching this interview! 😊

This is a great interview. So valuable!

Fabulous conversation!! I'm sure you'll have more really educated people on who have fascinating things to teach us. Your show is unique and I thoroughly enjoy it. There are some really great podcsts going and I am hoping to see you on some of them sharing your knowledge and experience and your story.

But apart from specific lasers can we use LED Redlight light and the said wavelengths and NIR on the head ?. Many people use these for hair regrowth, sleep and not wear goggles and have done for years which goes against what this video is saying.

Very insightful conversation. Thank you.

Hi Alex, 10 months ago, hot oil splashed on my eye and burned off 30% of my cornea. I had just purchased a Lyma laser at the time (for anti-aging), so hoping to heal the eye faster, I used the Lyma laser on my eye. I closed my eye and placed the laser directly on the eyelid for 10-15 minutes twice a day. Three days later, the cornea was completely healed (went from basically not being able to see anything immediately post-accident to regaining normal vision). I attributed the quick healing to the laser and was very pleased. However, this interview has made me realise I may have caused damage to my brain. It did not occur to me that a laser on the eye could penetrate through to the brain! Is this something I should be worried about? I am not aware of any changes in my brain function apart from maybe a deterioration in memory, but I'm 48, so this could just be old age? Do I need to go see a doctor?? I would really appreciate your reply. Thank you.

Fascinating!

This is a fantastic interview …thank you both for all your work

Thanks so much for the open and honest video I really appreciate it. I have done a EEG with a specialist. They want to do 10 to 20 sessions with the neuradiant 1070 at 10hz to fix the DMN due to TBI. I can’t afford the sessions but I was thinking of saving up for a Vielight alpha. But after watching this I’m not sure if they’re safe. You have since done recent videos and look to endorse Vielight and Dr Lim who says they are safe. Have you received more info after this video to suggest that Vielights are safe even if they are not targeted like recommended in this video? Hope you’re son is recovering and doing well 💪🏼

Very interesting interview. Great job.

Extremely interesting. 🙏

I guess I’m going to have to change the way I use my MitoPro 1500 panel. I always had light on my eyes, forehead, and the top of my head. If I understand him correctly I need to keep the light below my eyes. Did I get that right?

Hi @Alex, Would love an update on the treatment results received by your son. Looking into this same treatment for a family member. Feedback would be appreciated

please review MITO LIGHT BULB 4.0 !!!! what i it good for, how to use. would be really beneficial for people to see bulb comparisons, because for example me, i have a non existent budget right now, but till would be able to get something around a 100 euros, dollars. which usually are the bulbs. could those work as good as a panel just takes way more time? please help us out Alex.

thank you!

How has this interview influenced your approach to the therapies you frequently employ and test, particularly those targeting the jawline, which is in close proximity to the brain? Am I correct in understanding that LED therapy and laser treatment are distinct enough to warrant the latter as a safer option, potentially bypassing the need for extensive checkups? I've been immersing myself in your content lately, and initially, I was set on trying a panel from the Biomax series. However, considering the smaller size and shorter treatment time due to intensity, I'm now torn between that and the Chroma Ironforge. Could you offer some guidance to help me decide?

Interesting! How did your sons treatment go?

Great video

You're the youtube leader on this. Keep it up ..all from a sensitive tooth! 🦜

I was prompted at one point to ponder the fact that in the last 100 years humans have been subjected to more and more radio waves etcetera going through our bodies and of course, our brains. I could not help but wonder if this tremendous change in our environment is causing changes in our brain and our gut. Is it possible that Humanity will need to evolve through this change, as it has in ages past, so that we will either survive or become extinct?

I just bought a red light for wrinkles and I'm nervous about it being near my eyes, is this safe?

Great !

Energy medicine has NOTHING to do with hippies.

I’m sure you’ve probably already heard of the ketogenic diet for seizures.

Recent research by Henderson and colleagues shows that red light whether NIR or laser has a limited ability to penetrate the skull with only about 5% getting through. But they also found that applying the light elsewhere, for example on the hand or arm had a measurable effect in the brain on the frontal, occipital and global areas. So far the mechanism is unknown as is whether different wavelengths have different effects though normal 650.850 red/NIR seems to be as effective as 1400 nm laser light. This puts into question whether whole body treatment is necessary or desirable since too much will stimulate cytokines that can lead to auto immune responses. Protons are positive charged ions, in this case hydrogen ions that enter the cell due to the increased Redox potential caused by the production of more negative charges electrons by the chromophore. It is the flow of hydrogen ions into the cell that drives the process that converts ADP back to ATP.

Isn't this just confirming the the need for us all to spend more time outside in sunshine?? The natural healing effect of sunlight radiation. They used this many years ago in the health sanatoriums.

Have you heard about anyone having success with red light therapy for drug recovery? I’m more referring to the resulting damage, over the actual addiction itself. Symptoms like depression, agitation, inability to focus, and perhaps minor nerve damage?

Awesome

Very interesting. I am considering getting a helmet however Dr Beck comments regarding over stimulation gives me pause. Another scientist says he has looked for side effects and cannot find any. He uses infrared light, not lasers, for 6 minutes twice a day. For people with Alzheimer’s it may be more prudent to get a helmet now than to do nothing . Comments are welcomed.

Are there photos about the device he uses?

What about a normal Spect but autoimmune encephalitis?

Not sure what he meant with his last comment about the gut bc of the gut/brain connection. Did he mean that you have to be cautious with the gut as well??? Also what about the sides of the head below the eyes, & what about the Occiput & Occipital Region at the back of the skull?

Carnivore for epilepsy is something to rhink about Alex

I wish that people would understand that our body is a total universe involving planets and constellations, and what not! That’s why humans should respect human life 100% we are all organisms forming a universe here on earth, people who viciously kill rape torture, abuse, etc. are the cancer in our society and we need to cut Cancer out so pay attention people! When you heal your skin, your endocrine system, your gastroenterological system you’re taking part in healing the world because you are an entity of that world don’t wanna sound cringe or corny, but it’s trueI’m expressing myself in layman terms. I don’t know any other way, but I’m doing my best at my end! Well, everyone, over and out.

What conference did Dr.Beck speak at on stem cells?

Neuroimmune disease please help people with pans /AE adults and kids

So if you have major depression where should the brain be stimulted with near infrared light?

I am thinking depression is in the front of the brain and the area is over stimulated so you would need to stimulate the back of the brain to bring down the over activity in the front.But i dont know.

I’m using a red light helmet for Parkinson’s!!😮

Alex, great stuff. Having listened to the whole conversation, have you looked at the work being done by the Israelis using hyperbaric oxygen? (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7p1jLd_rp-5daM.html)

What causes a child to regress in mental age the child is 48 but has a 5 year old mentality

Red light therapy helmets for hair regrowth and any exposure to red light therapy above the eyes has UNKNOWN consequences for the brain, possibly DAMAGING, is the most alarming take away for me from this interview. Basically, we do not know enough about the consequences of red light dosage on penetrating the head, face, and brain so the precautionary principle of avoiding exposure appears to apply, so therefor STOP using red light therapy on your face or hair to avoid risk.

Well. Too much history to be silent entirely... but it is not the "laser" but the light. The word "laser" is overused and abused. The light Frequency has to do with the LED used as the light source and has nothing to do with whether or not it is coming from a laser. This was an error historically since early attempts at PBM were with people who were testing out their new-fangled red light lasers years ago. It was the new toy shined on a rat. The penetration has to do with the frequency and as well the power of the light source, and the applications effectiveness with regard to the quantity of light lumens per centimeter squared; and that affects the time involved for how long or short the treatment value is... The laser as the one and only TOOL has to do more with the manufacturer's sales and marketing banter; since that is what they are selling so they sell it. If you sell lasers, then only lasers work. and the salesman is the source for this silliness. PBM has to do with the light frequency. Every frequency has a geometry and a physics of qualities. As well, nature reads the numbers and frequencies and generates a response from the Vital Life Force that is unmeasurable with physical instruments typically used in research work. Too often there are academic papers written for building strong relationships and always a lot of revenue, sacred toes and prestige at stake between the Grantee and the Grantor. Few take the time to go into this with any depth. But the overuse of it being of a science that has a laser specific value is dead wrong. It is all about the light and the frequency of light that comes from the LED that the Laser uses. Laser light is just coherent light or a focus beam. To use the laser with this PBM application you have to diffuse the light that is normally produced by the laser, or you are going to cut tissue and kill the cell. In effect, the tiny laser then becomes a projector or a lamp. As well, certain lasers are regulated by the FDA and so people can't just use them as they please. There is NO regulation for the use of LED's. A diffused redlight laser can be used for photopuncture, as well, shining on the meridians like that. The meridians also behave as waveguides for the Near Infrared light which will travel on their paths. And, yes the meridians are real, they have also been photographed. They are just very tiny like photons. What else? There is also a light body that is shaped by plasma or plasmic fields inside the body that are affected by the light. What happens when you shine the light on that? Well, typically the research for this is overlooked.
