There’s no question that red light is having a very positive impact on our health. And there’s an author who was actually on his podcast a couple years ago. It’s called that podcast is called the energy blueprint and the the practitioners name is Ari. ARI Witten w h i t t e n Ari somebody you’ve heard

Sam Berne (00:28.158)

And Ari, if you go on Amazon, he wrote a really nice book on red light therapy, not on the eyes, but just in general. And I think that if you’re skeptical about it or you want to learn more about it, I would do some Google search. would, you know, I might I’ve done a couple of podcasts on it and you know, there are a couple of people out there that

Sam Berne (00:56.983)

They devote their whole podcasts to red light and research. Now with the eyes, there isn’t much out there on red light because the machines, the devices that they sell are too bright for the eyes. So this is an important point.

Sam Berne (01:18.899)

One of the trauma effects that we go into is if we’re light sensitive and in our light sensitivity, we shut down. We have a very strong blink reflex and so you’re triggering trauma in the eyes trying to look at a bright light box. You can’t do it. In fact, the manufacturers will say don’t look at the light. Let’s cover the eyes.

Sam Berne (02:19.956)

I decided because I had been working with color and light therapy and this segues into our color therapy where we work with all the colors. But what I did was I went to my laboratory and I began experimenting with the with the color and getting the tint exactly right. And then I was doing research based on the camera that I have and some other

He holds a Bachelor of Science from Pennsylvania State University, Doctor of Optometry from Pennsylvania College, and did his postdoctoral work at the Gesell Institute in collaboration with Yale University. He has been awarded The Special Awards for Service from the Behavioral Optometrists in Mexico for his innovative and holistic work with children.

His protocols take a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to health and wellness. He understands and treats the body as one integrated system rather than a collection of independent organs in order to identify and address the root causes of disease. His whole health protocols improve vision and wellness by healing the mind-body-spirit through nutritional protocols, vision therapy, and self-care techniques. This views each person as genetically and biochemically unique and enables the individual to make lifelong improvements to their well-being.
