@christina3444 ,
here are 2 pictures of the device. It is 9” wide and 23” long. I was able to purchase this one from Red Therapy Co as a refurbished (return) as they allow 60 day returns and it had the same warranty as a new one. I think I paid $400 for it. Not sure if they always have refurbished units but they showed on their website when I ordered it. I think the brand new ones were $700. If you decide to order one from them, try the coupon code Energy Blueprint to see if they still offer it. I have seen smaller and less expensive ones advertised on other websites but this one gives a larger area of application. There are also ones bigger than this one. You also have to be unclothed for whatever area you are using it on. I have heard many other holistic and naturopathic doctors recommend other devices as well. This has a little cable pulley at the top where you can lower or raise it. Useful for me while I am sitting and using it on my feet or pulled up to strand in front of it. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I just checked and they don’t have any refurbished units. The coupon code still works!
I have my regular appointment for blood work and PA next week. In an abundance of caution I will ask if they have an opinion about this therapy.
Thanks so much for the info.

I have been looking into this extensively. I am pleased to say my oncology team is on board and it is painless. Many "health" spas offer it now. Is it the same as a doctors office, no probably not. However, I use it combined with a "soak". Thanks! If you try it , will you update us!
Notice I said soak up some sun -- not get a sun-burn!
I recall going to a conference where the Mayo Doctor (sorry I don't recall his name), pointed out that melanoma is virtually non-existent in tropic cultures. But is very prominent in cultures that get sun burn (Think Spring Break in Florida or Winter vacation in the Bahamas).
Farmers who are out in the sun most of the day have the same near-zero risk of skin cancers. Same for kids who are outside regularly.
Soaking up the sun also increases the body's natural Vitamin D3 production (a strong antioxidant).
The spa I was going to before i had Cancer was great. Now they wont let me use them because im sick. Even after sending multiple articles on how helpful it is for cancer patients.

Hi
At present, I am in Cycle 7 of V & O treatment so basically only taking Venetoclax for next 6 months. I spoke to my Oncologist about Red Light Therapy at this time and he said that it wasn’t a good idea during treatment…
That said, I will wait and suffer from fibro, RA, spinal stenosis which is causing nerve problems in my leg…As soon as treatment is complete I will do Red Light Therapy as I know from other Cllers and patients with Ra and fibro, that it has helped them !!!
There is good evidence that red-light therapy, at least when used with a professional-strength machine in a physician's office, is useful for various purposes in dermatology. There is some evidence that it is useful for various purposes in ophthalmology, especially in children and adolescents, and for management of pain from certain sources. (Citations on request.) There is no evidence that it is useful for treating any ailments discussed in this forum. Anyone who disagrees, feel free to correct me with a citation to a peer-reviewed study in a reputable journal.
Why a peer-reviewed study in a reputable journal? Because lots of "wellness" companies hawk their products either with "studies" that they conducted themselves - I wonder what they found? - or even just by "testimonials" from users who (a) are unfamiliar with the placebo effect or (2) may not even exist. Moreover, there are plenty of non-peer-reviewed "journals" that exist just to provide a place to publish stuff, frequently for a fee. Hence the gold standard: peer-reviewed, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. Accept nothing less.

4 ReactionsWhy not just go out-side and soak up some sun?
