What kind of RLT units are available over the counter, do you know? Thanks!

Thank you for your balanced and very detailed account of your experience with Red Light Therapy.
Your narrative also applies to the many other kinds of treatments that Long Haulers will try. A treatment will work for some people, to some extent, and not at all for other people. And, one must keep up with the research to find ways to modify the treatment for maximum benefit. Also, one should seek out healthcare providers who are actively working with the latest advances in the treatment.
Wishing you success with the VieLight. Keep us posted…

No, there isn't even any research that's close to saying there's a solution, magical or otherwise. There's also no large scale study on the effectiveness of RLT, but the small scale studies are validated and show effectiveness for select issues, most notably the long covid lethargy. As with any medication/holistic treatment/non-validated solution, the effects will differ from person to person. I sure hope you speak with a doctor before attempting 3-6 hours of RLT, as I'm unaware of any study or RLT manufacturer that has endorsed such lengthy use at one time. Mice are not humans.
