Saw my brother-in-law at a family wedding recently.
He is having a Red Light Therapy pad sent to me.
RLT

My late sister was a big fan of miracle food supplements
that would cure anything in short order. She had thousands of containers of various supplement in her home.
I think that the Red Light Therapy pad will have all the magical healing properties of a heating pad, but at a much higher price.

Anyone have any knowledge or experience with RLT?

RLT? - nope, none.

RLD? - umm, nope, not gonna answer that. Although I've heard this can be therapeutic.

I thought this was going to be about the thing Tucker Carlson promoted that everyone is laughing about.

Kind of a weird tangent with a red light component.

A dear friend, one of my favorite people. She doesn’t believe in conventional medicine and won’t consult regular doctors. We wrangle on this, but she won’t be dissuaded. She eschews normal insurance and prefers alternative methods. That’s cool, but not how I roll. I’m a conventional medicine guy.

She got sick - really sick. It looked like an autoimmune issue. She swelled up to such an extent that that she looked like a monster. Hives. Rashes. We begged her to go to a real MD but she wouldn’t do it. She cut so many things from her diet that we wondered if she’d starve to death. We were really worried. Dropped out of society. Wouldn’t go to dinner, which she loved to do.

I’ll cut to the chase. One of her alternative healers noticed a discolored front tooth - a tooth she had put in as a child after some sort of childhood accident and recommended a holistic dentist in Portland. They traveled there and spent two weeks. The first treatment was red light. OK, fine. The second treatment was to pull that tooth - the infected one - the one that would have shown up in any white blood cell test 2 years earlier. Not rocket science, a simple blood test.

The result? 100% cured. That infected tooth was killing her. She credits red light but I don’t.

And I still advocate for her to get proper medical insurance.
