Dr. Andy Kaufman Reviews Studies of Infrared Therapy: Is It a Health Miracle or Gimmick?
Dr. Andy Kaufman reviewed studies on exposure to red light and infrared therapy, also called low level laser light therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation (PBM). The studies showed no clear benefit to infrared therapy for pain, but the results for macular degeneration were positive for improvement in visual acuity. He reviewed a single study that examined infrared stimulation on the brain of 43 dementia patients and reported significant improvement in test scores. Dr. Kaufman says that there is almost no risk from using red light and infrared therapy. Most studies show that the higher frequency ranges with more infrared are more beneficial for serious conditions. He said that water is maximally improved at 3000 nanometers of wavelength. He did not recommend an intensity level for treatment; near infrared wavelength ranges from 800 to 2500 nanometers while far infrared wavelength is about 3000 nanometers.
