Alzheimer's is a type of dementia no one wishes to have, and yet rates are steadily increasing in North America.

Red and Near-infrared Light Therapy

Photobiomodulation (red and near-infrared light therapy) is an exciting option for anyone suffering from either of these illnesses.  Recent research has shown that if light of specific wavelengths and sufficient energy is used, there can indeed be improvements in both physical and mental symptoms. For Alzheimer’s, anxiety and cognitive function can improve. Care-givers say they notice their loved ones are more responsive and engaging, initiating a conversation and doing more for themselves.

Prevention and Treatment options 

In addition to Red Light Therapy, there are a number of other things you can do for Alzheimer’s treatment and prevention. Dr Dale Bredesen has written “The End of Alzheimer’s Program” outlining practical suggestions, and has published studies showing these things help.
 
Minimal Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and mild or early-stage dementia will respond better than late-stage cases, but anyone can improve and this offers hope. In fact, it is easier to see changes in more advanced cases with those using the near infrared-light therapy.

We have developed a treatment plan using red and near infra-red light via a powerful helmet device on the head, as well as the nostril light (and likely gut light therapy too). In addition, the “Bredesen protocol” and other helpful information will be offered for those looking for further ways to improve Alzheimer’s through a series of visits.

Your Visit

Light therapy visits will be scheduled twice a week and if effective, information will be given about how to purchase your own devices to use at home. We know that continued use is essential and there is a deterioration in most people once they stop using the light, which is promptly reversed once the light therapy starts up again.
