Hello, everyone, it’s Dr. Sam, I’d like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast. This is a show that offers cutting-edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to [email protected]. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode.

I want to talk a minute about something called the somatic eye. And I just wrote a blog about how the body influences the eye, and how the eye influences the body. So sohmas body, and in this blog that I wrote, and I’ll put the link up here, this is a very interesting kind of trans. I would say he transformation that I wrote about, because what I did was I took some of the work that I learned in the practice that I talked about at the beginning, which is continuum movement.

And I actually wrote this blog for that community, because those folks are super into the body, and how it relates to the eyes. So I’m going to put the the link up here. And I recommend that you that you read it at your leisure. So some other points about the somatic guy is that one of the trends that I see in eye care is that they perpetuate the repetitive treatments, the repetitive movements, the repetitive eye exams. And this is what myopia is. It’s basically a repetitive, robotic, monotonous, small bandwidth way of seeing. So when you are in that pattern, and your mind is saying the same things over and over again, you are creating more oxidative stress, more inflammation in the eyes. And this is one of the things that leads to the stagnating energy that I talk about, as it relates to your vision, your perception, and you’re problem solving.

Okay, I want to take this question about the red light, and the infrared light. So Carol is asking, Is it okay to expose our eyes to an infrared sauna, or red light. And what I’m going to do is I’m going to put up a link of an article that I wrote recently, just before the somatic eye, which is about the healing hue of red light therapy, and in my clinical experience, and also in the research what I discovered as I was writing this article, both red light, which is vibrating at somewhere around 660 nanometers, and infrared light, which is vibrating a little higher in about the 880 nanometers of vibration, the the red light, you can see it the infrared, you can’t see it, but both of them were found to do some very interesting things with the body number one, these two lights could actually reduce inflammation reduced many of the eye diseases like floaters. That’s a big one. Cataracts, dry eye, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

Red light therapy was also helpful in some of the retinopathy is like diabetic retinopathy, that’s where the blood vessels in the retina are stressed because of diabetes, and also hypertensive retinopathy. And so this particular form of light therapy has been shown to be helpful in healing different conditions. Now, there is a company and I don’t have any financial interest in it. Let me just get it for you. And I like this company for a couple of reasons. I did a lot of research. And I was looking for a company where the machine both projected red light and also

infrared near-infrared red light. So this company is called Red rush 360. I’m going to put it up here. And it’s certainly something to check into. So it is a full-body lightbox. And you can either sit in front of it, you want to be about 12 to 18 inches away from the device, you can do it with eyes open. If your eyes are sensitive because it is a fairly bright light, I believe they can give you an eye protector, or you can just wear a bandana over your closed eyes and you’re still going to get the benefit. And this particular lightbox, if you use it every day, within a couple of weeks, it’s going to do some really amazing things with your body. First of all, it’s great for detoxification. It’s also great for reducing inflammation, improving digestion, improving sleep, and improving eyesight. So you can either sit in front of it, you can lie down on your side and get it that way, you’re looking to do about a five to seven-minute daily treatment of the red light near-infrared light therapy. Now, with the idea of the infrared sauna, those units tend to be more expensive.

And they don’t give you both the red light and the near infrared light, they don’t give you the red light. And it’s certainly the infrared sauna is great as a detoxification device. But what I found is this combination of using both the red light and the near-infrared light, and by the way, you can get Infrared Saunas that have both, but they are quite expensive. Whereas if you get this red light box, it will run us five to $700. And it’s a it’s a great device in terms of wanting to take your health to the next level. In terms of the eyes, it has been shown to be effective for conditions like floaters dry eye, even I’ve had a few cases of people using it and reducing their lens prescriptions, because it’s really draining the tension and the toxicity out of the eyes. Again, you don’t have to look directly at it with your eyes open. You can do it with your eyes covered. So I think it’s something for you to check out.

There’s a really good book by this author on red light therapy. And this gentleman he’s from San Diego actually. And I was on his podcast. It’s good guy, Ari Witten. He’s written a book on red light therapy, so you can pick it up on Amazon through Kindle. It has a lot of great research in it a lot of great explanations. He’s also recommending different red light machines that include both the red light and infrared light. Last point about the red rush 360. I have a measuring device that measures the EMFs. And the EMFs of this unit are very, very low. So you’re not going to get inundated with EMF pollution by using this particular light device. So you just have to decide, do you want to invest in this? Do you feel like you’re really attracted to the red light near infrared light therapy and you you have to make the call. But if you decide you want to go with it. There are some really great potential health benefits that I would recommend
