Health and Red Light Therapy - What Most People Don’t Know
The Hidden Science Behind Photobiomodulation That Most People Miss
If you thought Red Light Therapy is ‘just’ about increasing cellular energy you’re in for a surprise! Some of this blog might take you back to your high school physics classes
A 2023 study on the deeper photophysical mechanisms of PBMT (Red Light Therapy) shows that light therapy isn't just about mitochondria and energy production. It also impacts biophoton communication, ion channels, protein oscillations, and even brain wave patterns. And if that sounds futuristic - it is!
Red Light Therapy Is More Than Just “Mitochondrial/ATP/Energy Boosting”
Most people who talk about red light therapy focus on cytochrome c oxidase (CCO), a key enzyme in mitochondria. The idea is that PBM helps your cells produce more ATP (energy). While that’s true, this new study suggests PBM has deeper effects that go beyond mitochondria and the Russians have been talking about it for decades.
🔹 PBM changes how proteins interact - by modifying their structures and how they vibrate at the quantum level (yes, quantum really!).
🔹 It modulates ion channels - tiny gates in your cells that control pain, inflammation, and nerve signals.
🔹 PBMT can reset disrupted brain wave patterns, which could explain why it helps with migraine, fibromyalgia, and even Parkinson’s disease.
And here’s something really wild: PBM interacts with biophotons - the ultra-weak light your cells naturally emit!
In the context of photobiomodulation (PBM) a ‘quantum leap’ refers to how light energy interacts with electrons at the cellular level, specifically, how photons from PBMT excite electrons in key molecules, causing them to jump into a higher energy state.
Quantum What?
Think of electrons as tiny planets orbiting a star (the nucleus of a cell). Normally, they stay in their stable orbits. But when they absorb energy from light (photons) of the right wavelength, they get excited and jump to a higher orbital level - this is a quantum leap.
🔹 In PBM, specific wavelengths of light photons are absorbed by molecules such as cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) in mitochondria.
🔹 This absorption energizes electrons giving them a boost, causing them to shift to a higher energy state.
🔹 As the electrons return to their normal state, they release energy that the cell uses for biochemical reactions, boosting ATP production, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing.
Red Light Therapy - a Cosmic Energy Boost for Women’s Health
Imagine you're on a playground swing. You’re stuck at a low height because you don’t have enough momentum. Then someone gives you a push (a photon of red light), you suddenly swing higher (electron jumping to a new energy level). That boost gives you more energy, allowing you to move more efficiently.
PBM works in a similar way, it excites cellular electrons, fueling energy production, healing, and cellular repair at a deeper, quantum level.
This quantum effect is why PBM is so much more powerful than just heating tissue, it’s literally changing electron behavior and cellular chemistry at the fundamental level.
What Are Biophotons? And Why Do I Need to Know About Them?
Your body doesn’t just absorb light, it emits light too! Scientists call these tiny flashes biophotons, and they play a role in cell communication, immune response, and even brain function.
The new study suggests that PBM increases biophoton signaling in your body. Why does this matter? Because biophoton activity is linked to:
✅ Nerve communication - PBMT might act as a “light switch” for your nervous system.
✅ Brain function & mental clarity - Dysfunctional biophoton signaling has been linked to Alzheimer’s, migraine, and mood disorders.
✅ Tissue repair & immune health - PBM could be influencing how your body heals at a cellular level, beyond just reducing inflammation.
And here’s the big kicker: laser-based photobiomodulation is significantly more effective at triggering biophoton signaling than generic LED devices and panels.
PBM & Brain Waves: Why This Study is Important
One of the most mind-blowing findings in this paper is that PBM can reset brain waves - especially in conditions like:
Migraine & Fibromyalgia (which are linked to disrupted brain rhythms)
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s
Anxiety & depression, where abnormal brain waves impact mood
Researchers found that Photobiomodulation helps restore gamma wave function in the brain, a key factor in cognition, memory, and mental clarity.
This means PBM is doing much more than just reducing inflammation or reducing pain - it’s helping rewire the brain!
What Is Quantum Medicine?
The study highlights that Photobiomodulation operates at the quantum level, interacting with biophotons, protein oscillations, and electromagnetic fields in ways traditional medicine can’t explain.
Think of it like this: your body is a symphony, and each cell vibrates at a certain frequency. When you’re in pain or sick, some of those instruments (cells) are out of tune. PBM acts like a tuning fork, bringing everything back into harmony.
This quantum approach to healing is why PBMT has such a wide range of benefits, from reducing inflammation to supporting fertility, pain relief, and even brain function. And PBM is unlocking how light really interacts with our biology.
Your body is more than just mitochondria - it’s a living network of biophotons, brain waves, and complex signaling systems.
