Recently, I covered the possibility of transformation in health and consciousness during low-level light or darkness situations. The article explaining this was in relation to the not so long ago Spain and Portugal blackout. Something amazing happened to the people there affected due to the unavoidable temporary affects of low-level stimuli during the blackout: A behavioral shift occurred and there were implications…
In contrast, this article looks at the potential health threats and healthy benefits in relation to how different light sources impact your body. It should go without saying that the ability to discern the healthy from unhealthy light sources is key. Therefore, this article is about protecting yourself.
Blue LED (light Emitting Diode) sources
In retrospect, for a number of us, the term ‘smart’ sends alarm bells ringing. The term is a cover-arm and in truth means anything but ‘smart’ for those of us affected.
-For instances, we have ‘smart’ 15-minute cities: planned confining, freedom-restricting neighborhood units. Then there’s ’smart’ CBDC payment systems sold to us under the guise of safe, convenient and efficient, while hiding the fact that this will be used to monitor and control our every aspect, as with ‘smart’ 15-minute cities…
‘Smart’ screen technology is another questionable application. This standard visual display technology now used on all mobile devices, computer screens, TV’s and lighting sources comes with the potential to make us physically and mentally unhealthy.
One unhealthy aspect of this ‘smart’ technology is in the use of blue LED.
Originally, there only used to be green and red light LED sources. The development of blue LED took over 30 years, as it was an extremely difficult technological challenge. Finally, it was brought into existence, into being, through the pioneering work of Japanese engineer Shuji Nakamura.
Blue and a combination of the other LED’s green and red converge to give white light and all other colors are produced through the various combinations of these 3 primary colors. Hence the developmental breakthrough that went on to bring ‘smart’ screens into existence, into being.
However, the blue LED light emitted in the frequency range of around 400-500 nanometers (nm) ( see above photo) may give rise to ill-health. Especially when subjected to frequent and long-term.
Melatonin is a hormone essential for sleep. Exposure to this blue light increases awareness while suppressing the body’s melatonin production, resulting in a lack of sleep. Blue light also impacts circadian rhythms as well as sleep patterns. Further, poor physical health, anxiety and depression may prevail due to a lack of sleep.
Thus, in effect, the suppression of melatonin due to blue light exposure from mobile devices, computer screens, TV’s and lighting sources makes this LED a significant potential health threat.
When subjected to frequent and long-term the blue light can cause a number of eye-related health problems. This includes eye strain, dry eyes, headaches, vision loss, macular degeneration… as renal cells are stressed…
On top of all this, history has shown us how flickering TV screens have further mind controlled us through Edward Bernays type subliminal messaging, I digress. Don’t trust the mainstream media!
Red LED sources
Red light occurs in the visible spectrum range between about 620nm – 700nm in wavelength (see above photo).
In contrast to blue, red light is healthy. Red light has been shown to have specific healthy impacts on the human body. Its benefits using red-light therapy include the promotion of healing wounds, lowered inflammation, pain relief and the ability to contribute to tissue generation and repair (eg. bone repair and healthy retinal cells).
A major reason for these health benefits is due to red and near infrared’s ability to contribute to mitochondrial function and energy increase in the body, with a number of positive knock-on effects.
Red light therapeutic exposure is getting increasingly used, especially just before bed time: Blue light hinders sleep. Red light promotes relaxation and sleep.
Red and near infrared light increases cognitive ability in brain-damaged or head injury traumatized patients. Further potential benefits for these patients include neuroplasticity and enhanced cerebral blood flow.
Another example of the effectiveness of red light therapy includes its use on children. For more information on red light therapy with research references go here.
Suggested Solutions
*Spend less screen time, especially before bed or at night to avoid blue LED.
*Get out more during the daytime. Take nature walks. How about doing some bird watching?
*Consider using red light therapy. Take a look at the benefits by doing your own diligent research. For instance, you may want to have a look at this guide on red light therapy given by a medical doctor.
*Another potential solution includes using infrared contact lenses. It has been claimed that these recently developed contact lenses can give rise to “super-vision.” That is, these wearables go beyond limited vision and can fix people’s color blindness.
