Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else

[Bill Ryan]

Dear Friends, there have been several recent posts about Dr. Jack Kruse, and a very kind, longstanding Avalon follower has sent me this new video which I felt needed its own thread, as does Dr. Kruse himself. Here's her message to me about the video:

~~~
Dr Jack Kruse's revelation on Adrian D'Amico website, an Australian podcaster. His revelation includes the British Royals, the Vatican, the Rothschilds, the Bushes, the Military Industrial Complex, the Secret Government and its founder, the Italian and Jewish Mafia, Stalin, Trotsky, Roosevelt, Churchill, Hitler, Eisenhower, JFK, the Dulles, SV40 (Simian Virus 40), cryptology, El Salvador and ... finally, Bitcoin.
I think he has RFK Jr's and Trump's ears.
Please share this with the truth seekers of Project Avalon.

Thank you, Avalon Follower. https://i.imgur.com/LAk0Fum.gif

I've watched a number of Dr. Jack Kruse vids. I'm particularly interested in the block blue light info and invested in quality glasses for blue blocking day and also blue blocking night. I'm a couple of weeks into balancing out my circadian cycle (day and night wake and sleep patterns).

Some of the other Dr. Kruse videos I've listened to are: 5G & Blue Light, Circadian Biology, Melanin & How To Heal Your Mitochondria, Anti-Aging, and Light, Water & Magnetism.

While I'm here, I'll add the summary to your video.

[RunningDeer]

I had a pair of blue blocking glasses from Amazon which included a blue block test kit to prove they block the blue light. It wasn’t until my new glasses arrived that I discovered how true this statement is: “You get what you pay for. I had the new 100% blue blocking glasses (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/blue-blocking-glasses-night-time) on and couldn’t see the time on the digital clock because the numbers were blue. The same for the blue light that blinks on the vacuum cleaner. I also compared the cheap glasses to the new DayMax Glasses (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/computer-glasses) (eliminating 100% of the harmful blue light). There was a distinct difference between them as well.



https://i.imgur.com/EkQUDnr.gif

Merged reposts: (apologies ahead of time for repeats):



I researched the topic of blue light blocking. Dr. Jack Kruse (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Dr.+Jack+Kruse) is the go to guy on the effect of blue light, AND a lot more also found @ Dr.Jack Kruse: Reversing Disease (https://jackkruse.com).




Dr. Jack Kruse Is a respected neurosurgeon, CEO of the Longevity Center, author and inventor, looking at the quantum level to explain how nature works in biology. He’s a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons and the Age Management Medicine Group, and a board certified physician by the American Board of Neurological Surgery.

It's because of the blue light blocking research, I spend the first 15-30 minutes soaking in the rising sun rays. Later in the day, I walk to soak up the sun effects even on cloudy days. Note: soaking up the rays doesn’t work if the window or door is closed. Sunrise and sunset are potent times and Dr. Jack Kruse says you only need 1-3 minutes.

A few more examples are I've switched out incandescent bulbs for amber incandescent bulbs. They don’t have the blue-green spectrum. The same for my book light for bedtime reading. There’s a twilight motion red night light (https://www.blockbluelight.com/products/red-light-motion-night-light?_pos=1&_psq=twilight+motion+red+night+light&_ss=e&_v=1.0) in the bathroom which is '100% blue and green light free, has zero flicker, and is low EMF', so it doesn't interfere with the natural sleep patterns.

To quote Dr. Jack Kruse: More light, More life.

My 100% blue light blocking glasses are for when it's time to wind down a few hours before bedtime and I’m still on the computer. (I’m slowly working to change that.) As mentioned elsewhere, I switched to amber incandescent lights because there’s no blue or green light to disrupt the circadian rhythm. My main goal is restful sleep. Amber light helps signal (prepare) the body for deep sleep.

At night, Dr. Jack Kruse uses candles and lights a fire in the fire place because there 100% natural sources.





Dr. Jack Kruse: “…when you understand it from that framework, you begin to see, there's no single most important thing. Actually light from the sun is important as darkness at night time is. And if you make a mistake in either side, then it becomes unbalanced. For want of a better term, the circadian mechanism is no longer yoked, and that allows destruction to come to cells in terms of how cells organize.”


Nightfall Blue Blocking Glasses (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/blue-blocking-glasses-night-time) (blocks 100% of blue and green light which lowers melatonin and negatively impact sleep)
DayMax Glasses (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/computer-glasses) (eliminating 100% of the harmful blue light).

How Blue Light Is Wreaking Havoc on Your Sleep,
Making You Fat, & Destroying Your Health

Less than 150 years ago, humans were exposed to no artificial light. Moonlight, dim candlelight and the orange light of fire was all that illuminated the night. The rising and setting of the sun were clear indicators to our brain when the day's activity began and ended.

When the electric light bulb was invented, it opened up a whole new world. Artificial light allowed education, productivity and industry to grow rapidly. But could our pursuit of the endless day have a dark side?

The truth is our ever-increasing exposure to light from screens, bright office lighting, home lighting and street lights could be the most overlooked health risk of our modern lives. It’s having a devastating impact on our health, and we don’t realize it.

Health Impacts of Excess Screen Time and LED Light Exposure


Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Disruption
Blood Pressure

Dr. Jack Kruse on Junk Light, 5G, Optimizing Sunlight and Longevity





wellnessmama.com (https://wellnessmama.com/podcast/609/)
Transcript here (https://wellnessmama.com/podcast/609/)

Dr. Jack Kruse is with me today and he is a respected neurosurgeon and a CEO of the Kruse Longevity Center, which is a health and wellness company dedicated to helping patients avoid the healthcare burdens we typically encounter as we age. He is highly, highly researched and today we have a specific focus on light, EMFs and 5G, and on optimizing sunlight. He talks about why lack of sunlight is actually more dangerous than smoking, and why our kids need more sun, and how to do it safely. We talk about light, and how screens, and junk light affects our body at a mitochondrial level and how we can begin to improve this, and why he considers this actually the top factor for health, above diet, above exercise.

Episode Highlights With Dr. Kruse:

What junk light is and why it can be so harmful
Why sunlight is so important and not dangerous… and why it is so important for kids
The problems with screens that you probably didn’t know of
Understanding light functionally
Why light is a medicine
....
Six meta analysis show that lack of sunlight is more dangerous to your health than smoking
The deeper problems with blue light beyond just sleep disturbances
How blue light cases break down in the retina and brain changes and destroys dopamine

Where melatonin is actually made (in the mitochondria) and how to optimize it
....
The reasons he recommends avoiding sunscreen and increasing sunlight exposure, especially in kids
Low Vitamin D levels correlate highly with melanoma and the sun helps increase Vitamin D levels… so why lack of sunlight is more correlated to melanoma than sun exposure and how blue light comes into play
Why sunglasses decrease melanin production in the skin and why he says to avoid them because you’ll be more sensitive to the sun
Ways to optimize your light exposure
Light exposure tips: open windows inside so it isn’t filtered through glass
....
More reasons to get morning sunlight
A reason kids don’t need as much sunlight as their grandparents do
How to do grounding correctly

I only came across Jack Kruse in the last month or so when his DARPA video emerged. I wondered why he has suddenly emerged. Where was he during COVID. I certainly cant recall anything from him Now he seems to be the meme of the month

That being said I am sitting here with my blue light blocking glasses And each morning for the last week I have walked to a nearby park to watch the sunrise, which is amazingly energising and stays with me through out the day. I now spend at least 6 hours outside each day Dont know how I go when the summer heat hits 40C in a few months

[meat suit]

He has been patiently waiting for his moment, and it has come... for greatest impact.
I expect there will be more people like that.
In fact I expect an avalanche...

Dr. Jack Kruse’s recommendation for how much sunlight is as much as you possibly can. He states in the video called (IIRC), “Everything You Must Know About 5G and Blue Light” that when he’s at work he tries to get out even if its for 2-3 minutes or he opens the window. You need to see the sun and not behind glass windows because it filters out the light. It blocks all the UV and 40%-50% of the UVA. Just being inside makes you blue light toxic because glass has no effect on the blue light from the sun. He says it’s one of the major problems, i.e. just being inside is what technology has done for us because the computer screens don’t work outside.

As stated elsewhere, I don’t wear glasses when I’m out walking nor use sunscreen. I take in the natural light spectrum. One example from Dr. Jack is wear blue light blocking glasses in stores where there’s florescence lighting.

Dr. Jack Kruse has been around (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Dr.+Jack+Kruse) for a while. My guess is people don’t have the time to listen to a 2-4 hour video. I’ll add another below (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?123684-Dr.-Jack-Kruse&p=1638206&viewfull=1#post1638206) which is from April, 2015.

His banned TED talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IjfRQSRLt8) was in 2012 where he tells how he lost 150 lbs in a year (IIRC). His son and nephew also followed his protocol and lost weight.

Dr. Kruse's presentation stirred controversy, not only due to its pioneering concepts but also because of the substantial financial interests tied to leptin as a potential anti-obesity drug. He challenged the conventional wisdom depths of metabolic understanding and the transformative power of light on our well-being.

Biohacking is the practice of employing methods drawn from fields like biology, genetics, neuroscience and nutrition to enhance physical or mental performance, improve overall health and well-being, or achieve a specific health outcome (like weight loss).



Examples of Biohacking:



Age biohacking
Energy Biohacking
Diet and Nutrition Biohacking
Physical Health Biohacking
Brain Biohacking

Thanks for all the work you do Paula!!

These have not been heard yet but I think this is what he meant with the Humberman podcast? I have a lot to listen to.....



You're welcome, Maggie. https://i.imgur.com/1zXOufk.gif

Yes, that's my guess. I've downloaded the Humberman podcasts, but haven't listened as yet. It takes me a while for each vid because I make notes and some of them I create audio snippets for review.

My guess is I've listened to 15-20 so far. I'm reaching my saturation point. The main reason was for the blue light blocking, anti-aging, mitochondrial knowledge and circadian rhythm regulation.

Dr Jack Kruse On Biohacking Your Water, EMFs, Blue Light, DHA, Cold, Sun and Sleep (2:08:00)


April 12, 2015
Dr. Kruse's order of importance:




Circadian Rhythm
DHA
Limiting blue light
Water (spring water)
Sleep
Cold
Psychological stress
Exercise





Takeaways from video:

We see and will continue to see a trend of disease explosion - especially of the brain, immune system and heart.
The paleo and ancestral people - Chris Kresser, Rob Wolf, Matt Lalonde and Jimmy Moore don't focus on the important things.
We get too much blue light.
We need more DHA if we get less sun.
.....
We need more DHA and 'good' water if we're exposed to EMFs.
Living in a city dehydrates us and therefore we need to drink more good water.
I discuss my water biohack - distilled water+infrared light+hydrogen+cold....Jack says that putting the water on a copper pot on the magnetico is a good addition.
Farmed fish is better than no fish. Supplemental DHA is better no DHA, as long as it's from a reliable company and not exposed to light or heat.
We should try to get much of our DHA from raw seafood, especially oysters.
DHA increase our DC electric current, which is critical to being awake.
.....
We need more iodine in the form of seaweeds if we have more EMF exposure.
If people don't do well with saturated fats, it's because of environmental exposure to EMFs and the environment in general.
Obese and really thin people have an energy problem and electron loss. The obese people have it from neck down and the anorexics have it from neck up.

Dont know how I go when the summer heat hits 40C in a few months


I imagine at sunrise it’s relatively cooler. That's how I get around the heat and humidity in the summer when I walk. We’re coming into winter in New England (east coast US). The average low is 15 F (-9 C) with an average of 45 inches (114 cm) of snow. Sunrise comes up through my kitchen door. It’s already chilly at 35-40 F (-1-to 4C).


“…soaking up the rays doesn’t work if the window or door is closed.”


Finger’s crossed my make shift solution will keep me on track. I watch the sun come up and soak in the morning rays for about 15-30 minutes. I imagine that time will shorten through the winter. What I do is sit by the storm door which is made up of two sliding windows. I slide up the bottom half and use a spring-loaded curtain rod with a double-folded, thermal curtain (block out curtain). That leaves a foot (30 cm) of space for the rays to come in.

It bears repeating that Dr. Jack says sunrise and sunset are potent times, and you only need 1-3 minutes. I’ll catch as much sun as possible later in the day even if it’s cloudy.

Jack Kruse is sharing biology science I have never known. He is very interesting to hear. My favorite take awa is that at one time, mammals brought melanic cells IN and we emit light. One thing about listening to many different people, different people who are very intelligent, sometimes they are wildly divergent.

A snippet from a Dr. Jack Kruse video. I omitted some of the nonessential parts.



Interviewer: Can we talk a little bit about the spectrum of light and the various different intensities and frequencies that were getting from the sun throughout the day? Because a part of the narrative that the sun is dangerous. There's a certain times of the day that it's the most dangerous.

Dr. Jack Kruse: It’s not dangerous. Times of the day? Everybody needs to hear, “The more sun you get, the more life you get. The more time you get, the less disease you get. The less times you need doctors.”

That's the real story and that's all you need to know. And if you want to break it down to frequency? Then you're going to have to step into my world and talk about a lot of science. But honestly? It's not just about frequency.

There's an electric part and a magnetic part. That's why it's called an electromagnetic wave. The electric part dominates electric fields during the day that's linked to a lot of ATP biology. The magnetic side of the wave of the magnetic flux, deals with ROS and RNS. That deals with timing of how metabolism works. If you don't understand both sides, neither one of those are just a frequency story. It actually is radically different. And as it turns out, the light that's probably the most important of the two are purple and red. Because what does purple (and red?) do? it makes the magnetic flux. It makes all the free radicals in your body.

The electric side, that everybody focus on in centralized medicine is just the ATP side. And everybody knows, every biochemistry book you open up, have you ever asked the basic question, “Why is it that every metabolic pathway makes a different level of ATP?” Might it be that there's got to be some computer system where those metabolic pathways are appropriate for different parts of the day? Or different tissues in the body that have a different mitochondria footprint or efficiency? It turns out the answer is yes. All those non-visual photo receptors are the things that pay attention to those individual light frequencies. The body is the thing that deciphers that code. All your job is, is to get your a$$ in front of the sun with your two feet on the tectonic plates.

What is ROS - reactive oxygen species?


Melanin is protection against reactive oxygen species (ROS). Reactive oxygen species are byproducts of your body’s cell processes. When ROS accumulate in your cells, they can lead to stress, premature aging and health concerns such as diabetes and cancer. Melanin scavenges for ROS, boosting antioxidants and eliminating free radicals.

What are ROS reactive oxygen species?


A type of unstable molecule that contains oxygen and that easily reacts with other molecules in a cell. A build up of reactive oxygen species in cells may cause damage to DNA, RNA, and proteins, and may cause cell death.

Define RNS.


"Reactive Nitrogen Species," which refers to a group of chemically reactive molecules containing nitrogen that are naturally produced within the body and can play various biological roles, including cell signaling, but can also damage cells if present in excessive amounts; the most well-known RNS is nitric oxide (NO).


What do ROS and RNS mean?


ROS and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are the two free radicals derived from both exogenous and endogenous sources that play a very crucial role in maintenance of homeostasis in a biological system.

Light is the nutrient, UV light is needed



Interviewer: Are there a specific nutrients that you're getting from the sun? Electro magnetic nutrient that you're getting from the sun around high noon that you would not be getting that actually is quite invaluable and important to get out during those times?

Dr. Jack Kruse: POMC, nitric oxide, leptin. Those have an absorption spectrum in the deep UV. You have to realize everything requires UV light. So for people to say, “Yeah, I'm gonna stay out of the sun in the midday.” It's wrong.

There are people that do have to stay out because their biology is so bad. For example, people that take phenothiazines for mental disorders. People that have Lupus. People who have certain autoimmune conditions that are on certain drugs. The drugs photosensitize them. So what do you do? You stop taking the drugs or you sit under the umbrella or you do what I'm doing. I'm outside and I'm not in direct sunlight. All the light around me is UV light even though I'm not in. Is my body able to process that? Yes.

Leptin, nitric oxide (NO), and POMC

Leptin, nitric oxide (NO), and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are all involved in a number of physiological processes, including energy balance, blood pressure, and reproduction

What does the POMC do?

One peptide produced from the POMC protein is called adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH binds to melanocortin receptor (MC2R), stimulating the release of a hormone called cortisol. This hormone helps maintain blood sugar (glucose) levels, protects the body from stress, and stops (suppresses) inflammation.

What does cortisol do in the body?


Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, increases sugar, also called glucose, in the bloodstream, enhances the brain's use of glucose and increases the availability of substances in the body that repair tissues. Cortisol also slows functions that would be nonessential or harmful in a fight-or-flight situation.


What causes POMC deficiency?



Early-onset, severe obesity by age
Excessive eating caused by insatiable hunger.
Hormone level differences known as endocrine abnormalities ENDOCRINE ABNORMALITIES The endocrine system is made of organs, glands, and hormones that tell the body how to do its job.


What is Nitric oxide?


Nitric oxide, abbreviated as NO, is a chemical compound that plays a key role in cell metabolism. It is also crucial in coordinating tissue energy demand with supply.

The body naturally produces nitric oxide as a free radical. It is the end product of a conversion process of dietary nitrates and vitamin C. One of nitric oxide’s prominent functions is to relax your blood vessels, which improves blood flow and oxygen supply to your tissues. This widening of the blood vessels is also vital in lowering blood pressure.



Leptin & Leptin Resistance

What is the function of leptin?


Leptin’s main function is to help regulate the long-term balance between your body’s food intake and energy use (expenditure). Leptin helps inhibit (prevent) hunger and regulate energy balance so that your body doesn’t trigger a hunger response when it doesn’t need energy (calories).

Leptin mainly acts on your brainstem and hypothalamus to regulate hunger and energy balance, though you have leptin receptors in other areas of your body.

Leptin doesn’t affect your hunger levels and food intake from meal to meal but rather acts to alter food intake and control energy expenditure over a longer period of time to help maintain your normal weight.

Leptin has a more profound effect when you lose weight. As your body fat (adipose tissue) decreases, your leptin levels decrease, which signals your body to think that it’s starving. This stimulates intense hunger and appetite and can lead to increased food consumption.

How do I raise my leptin levels?


Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do to raise your leptin levels to decrease hunger and appetite, since your leptin levels are directly related to how much adipose tissue your body has.

One study found that sleep-deprived people had high levels of ghrelin, a hormone that signals hunger, and lower levels of leptin. Getting appropriate amounts of quality sleep is important for several reasons, so, in any case, it’s beneficial to your overall health.

Scientists are also looking at the relationship between leptin and triglycerides, a type of fat also known as lipids. Some studies have revealed that high triglycerides seem to impact the way leptin works, but these studies are controversial. While some scientists think a diet that’s designed to lower triglycerides could help boost your leptin levels, other scientists disagree.

What foods are high in leptin?


Since leptin is a hormone your body makes and not a nutrient (like vitamin C or protein), no foods contain leptin.

“The sun comes through the window, the blue light comes right through, but all the purple light and 40% to 60% of the red light is blocked. So, what do? Reintroduce some of the red light.”




Dr. Kruse: …Go buy yourself a spectroscope to actually test this for yourself. So, for example, I’m sitting in my house because I have a cold. Behind my computer is a red light. The reason for that, it’s sunny here. The sun comes through the window, the blue light comes right through, but all the purple light and 40% to 60% of the red light is blocked. So, what do I have to do? I have to reintroduce some of the red light that’s being blocked by the window to offset what I’m getting. And I have an f.lux screen that I’m seeing you through, but even with that, I’m still protecting my eyes with the blue-blocking glasses.


(A f.lux screen is a computer screen that has been adjusted by the f.lux program to reduce eye strain and improve sleep.)

Some things to consider:

When you’re inside, open a window, That’s how light works. All you have to do is open a window. When you filter light, even through glass, you are changing the spectrum of the problem. Like one of the diseases that modern medicine has no idea is linked to indoor living is fibromyalgia. Those are people that are all blue light toxic. Why? Because they’re not getting any red light on their muscles. That’s the reason why their muscles constantly hurt. It’s because they’re chronically energy deprived.

So, if your kids are inside, you wanna do the same thing. Let ’em do their homework outside. Let them do as much as possible outside. I think one of the big problems with kids is video games. They’re creating all these little addicted kids from the blue light toxicity.

Inside, open the window, introduce red light into the inside environment. Those the simple things you could do.

Katie: Another recommendation importance of morning sunlight. And I know you’re making the point that being outdoors as much as possible is really important, but it seems like data does look at getting light as soon as possible outdoors, not through a window after waking up is important for that circadian signaling. What’s your take on that? Are there specific times of day?


Dr. Kruse: The first light of the sun comes up, it resets the circadian mechanism in the central retinal pathways. The second thing that happens, most AM light, that sunrise is red, doesn’t have any UV in it. So, red light is really, really powerful for healing. But probably third and the most important thing, it starts all the hormone cascade that normally happens between 6 and 10 a.m. that’s supposed to happen.

So, what does it do? Every time you see the sunrise, you’re resetting the default mechanisms in your brain. So, that way you can constantly tell time. 
Now, the other thing that’s important is when the sun sets. Sunset for kids is also important. Going to see the sunset. If you really want your kids to perform optimally, especially with their brain, seeing the sunrise and sunset is huge. Most people don’t do that. And it turns out the longer light you get, the better you are.

And it turns out light stability for children is a big deal because they have a developing brain. So, that’s the reason why I always tell people that nothing replaces sunlight. The more sun you get, the better it is. But here’s the cool thing about kids. Kids don’t need as much sun as their grandmothers or grandfathers do.

Older people need more light than kids do because kids are…if you look at their body weight, they’re mostly made out of water. 80% of babies when they’re born are water by weight. When you get to be my age, you’re about 55%. And it turns out the number one chromophore for sunlight in our body is water. So, that’s a benefit for children because it means the sun really helps them. So, they don’t need as much as you think. And the kids, they’ll be perfectly fine if you let them play outside and build, you know, their life that way.

From the Internet:

A chromophore is a group of atoms and electrons that are part of organic compounds and that interact with light to form color. Chromophores are found within the molecule as a short conjugated system or a chain of atoms connected by alternating single and double bonds.

Light is like a medicine, and a lot of people don’t realize that, but that’s actually what it is. And if you look at what sunlight looks like, and you think about what all parents for the last 75 years have been told by centralized healthcare is that the sun is toxic, and you need to put sunscreen on kids and keep them out of the sun. It completely goes against our evolutionary directive.


There’s hardcore data out there. Like, there’s been six meta-analyses in the literature. The last one happened in 2016 in Sweden, and it basically said that lack of sunlight is more dangerous to your health than smoking cigarettes.


When you think about the flip side of this, that the kids today have grown up in a world where everything is blue-lit, like blue-lit screens, digital babysitting, iPhone, iPad. If you put a spectroscope on that technology screen, you would not like what you see.

And we now know the science is well-developed that blue light causes breakdown in the retina. The breakdown in the retina leads to changes not only in the retina, but also in the brain. When I was a kid, we never had school shootings or kids killing themselves.. Today it’s an epidemic.

What many of you may not know is that that’s directly related to the amount of screen time. And the reason for that is blue light destroys dopamine levels. And dopamine is a chemical. It’s most widely associated with Parkinson’s disease, but that’s not the key thing. If you go and look at addictive behaviors or depression, it’s also associated with those. And the reason for that, in the pathway of your eye, you have a clock called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. And we now know that those neurons stop at a place in the brainstem called the habenular nucleus. The habenular nucleus in that part of your hypothalamus actually controls your mood.

Children are much more sensitive to non-native EMF or fake light because their brains aren’t fully myelinated. That’s the reason why children can’t rent cars or hotel rooms because their frontal lobes are not even myelinated.

The flip side of that argument is they’re much more sensitive to these frequencies, and parenting has changed so much in the last 30 years that people think it’s okay to give a kid an iPhone.

So, when you add these two parts of the coin together, too much artificial light, at night, and no sun during the day, you set these kids up for an absolute train wreck in terms of their health. And we now know that children compared to years past aren’t as healthy as they used to be. I mean, there’s a lot of other things that go into this, but is that the underlying theme? It is.


[RunningDeer]

Dr. Kruse: Well, the number one thing, sunlight is a multifactorial thing. Think about a barrel of oil. Most people know that a barrel of oil has to go to a refinery, and it gets processed, and it becomes 60 different things that we use in industry, like lubrication, gasoline, kerosene, all different kinds of things.

Your mitochondria in your body do the same thing with light. So, I don’t want you to think this is just about blue light, or purple light, or orange light, or red light. There’s consequences to how light is refined in your body. And when the dominant life force, or I should say light force that your children are seeing are artificial manmade light, they’re not able to refine things in them.

Like, you mentioned a couple of them already, melatonin and the problem that they have with hormones. It’s a huge issue. And the problem is you need to understand how those things occur. We’re designed to refine that light. Now, if you understand the mitochondrial biology, there’s two main portions of the spectrum of light, purple and red light. They’re on opposite ends of the rainbow, usually UV and infrared-A. And those two forms of light are really important for us because they control the two change programs in our mitochondria which recycle our energy.

Why is this a big deal? Most people have been told that melatonin is predominantly made in your brain and in the pineal gland. Not true. 95% of melatonin is made at your mitochondria. And the reason for that is melatonin controls apoptosis and autophagy, which are the two change programs.

Well, it turns out apoptosis is controlled by purple, which is UV light, UVA and UVB. And autophagy, which is the recycling of mitochondria, is controlled by the red light. So, when you go and put sunscreen on your kid, what effectively are you doing? You’re blocking just about all of their ability to do things with the purple part of the spectrum. You’re not affecting a lot of other parts, but you’re affecting that one.


So, what’s the major effect? It inhibits the child’s ability to make vitamin D. And when you can’t make vitamin D, what does vitamin D do? A thousand genes get turned off. What’s the single most important? Well, it turns off T regulator cells. That means your immune system is totally jacked up. People who get skin cancers, what’s the number one link is ow vitamin D levels go with melanoma. So, if the sun is the cause of melanoma, explain to us why everybody that’s got melanoma has got a low vitamin D count? It turns out a lack of sunlight leads to skin cancer. And when you really examine it, you’ll find out that too much blue light, not enough red and not enough purple, is the real answer of how that light is refined in our body to wind up with the cancers that, your trying to protect from.


So, I would tell everybody whether it’s sunglasses, clothing, sunscreen, do what wild animals do. When you’ve had enough sun, go under a tree, go under an umbrella. The papers that are out for the last 20 years totally disagree with that. The problem is sunscreen, for example, it’s a $7 billion business. They’re not gonna tell you the difference because that $7 billion goes away. So, you have to be an informed consumer.

[RunningDeer]

You have to ask yourself, "What are you willing to do to offset your risks?" Now, some people may say, “I’m willing to do some, but I’m not willing to do it all.” That’s fine. I think any step in the direction of wellness in decentralized nature is a good step. ~ Dr. Kruse

Dr. Kruse: Non-native EMF, technically, just to define it, is everything outside the visible spectrum. Most people know that terrestrial sunlight from our sun is 250 to 760 nanometer light. Everything else in the electromagnetic spectrum is garbage, which we call non-native EMF.

We are not designed to operate within it. So, for example, in the visible spectrum, we just talk about blue light. Blue light subtracted from the rest of terrestrial sunlight, technically, is non-native EMF. Why? Because you’re not designed to get blue without the purple and the red. So, that’s fixable there. And that’s probably the number one non-native EMF out there.


These days, you’re correct, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, 5G, big deal. For parents to pay attention to this, just read the NTP toxicity report done by the federal government where they irradiated nocturnal mammals, I should say mice and rats, for a period of time with just 2G and 3G phones. The animals all got tumors and cancer.

So, it’s not like we don’t know that this happens. And when you wanna jump down the rabbit hole further, then I would tell you to go read a book called “Going Somewhere” by Dr. Andrew Marina. He’s a physicist and a lawyer. He’s actually been testifying about this to Congress since 1977. His testimony began when he showed that the power grid in New York state that went from New York City up to Niagara Falls changed the earth’s magnetic field 80,000 kilometers in space. So, for people who don’t think that we have the data, just remember the year was 1977, and the books and the data is out there.


The same for with sunscreen, $7 billion industry, non-native EMF, probably $4 trillion, $5 trillion industry. So, there’s a reason that you don’t get told the truth. The reason why is because they want you to be an obedient idiot so that you’re in their paradigm so they can keep harvesting. And the problem that a lot of people make, especially parents, “Well, these kids do it, or this family does it, or we all do it.” And the problem is this is part of the reason why we’re all much sicker, where in cities, especially, our longevity’s been going down for the last five or six years.

So, you have to ask yourself, what are you willing to do to offset your risks? Now, some people may say, “I’m willing to do some, but I’m not willing to do it all.” That’s fine. I think any step in the direction of wellness in decentralized nature is a good step. I just want people to know that this data, it’s not wacky, it’s not quacky, it’s well-published in great journals.

The problem is it’s been blocked from you. The reason a lot of people don’t know about this is because industry who’s been printing money, selling you this stuff, and causing you problems, it’s a big issue.


[RunningDeer]

But here’s the real caveat. If your body makes it endogenously, you should never take it exogenously. ~ Dr. Jack Kruse


https://i.imgur.com/EkQUDnr.gif



Condensed version from “Junk Light, 5G, Optimizing Sunlight and Longevity”. (full transcript (https://wellnessmama.com/podcast/609/) and video here (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?123684-Dr.-Jack-Kruse&p=1638152&viewfull=1#post1638152).)




Katie: Yeah, I think that alone is such a paradigm shift… It’s like we keep looking for these complicated answers when the answers have always been in front of us through nature. You mentioned vitamin D. I think that might drive a lot of people to just start wanting to supplement lots of vitamin D to try to fix these problems. And I know you have wisdom around that. So, I’d love to touch on vitamin D and omega-3s.


Dr. Kruse: Yeah. I would tell you, let’s give the disclaimer, because I think when a lot of people listen to my podcast or they eat stuff or they follow me on social media, you hear that I don’t like to talk about food, and I’m not really big into talking about exercise.

It’s not really true. I want people to understand light is by far the most important. When it comes to supplements, same reason. I told you before, supplements are basically fake Frankenfoods that you’re adding to the mix. But here’s the real caveat. If your body makes it endogenously, you should never take it exogenously. Why? It has to do with something called predator and prey. Remember I just told you the story about decentralized light and dark? So, let me give you an example. One that we used earlier today.


If you give your kids melatonin to help them sleep, it’s because their mitochondria don’t make it. When you give the kid melatonin long enough, you down-regulate the melatonin production that they make in their own mitochondria. So, you’re turning off the machinery because you’re getting an exogenous signal. So, it ultimately makes your kid worse.

What’s some of the effects that can happen to a child down the road? They can thin their retina, they can get retinal tears, they can develop really big problems with their central retinal pathways. Why? Because it turns out melatonin and dopamine regenerate all the photoreceptors in your eye. Does the pediatrician ever tell you that? No. Because they’re looking to give you the centralized answer to get you out of their office in 10 minutes, and that’s it, you know, for your $25 copay. If you do your own homework, you’ll find that those answers are out there.

Melatonin is made in the mitochondria. So, supplementing that is a big no-no. Vitamin D, the same way. Vitamin D is made endogenously in our skin. But vitamin D is a very interesting vitamin because it’s not a vitamin, it’s a neurosteroid. And vitamin D, one of the things that it does is it gets created in the skin from cholesterol and 312 nanometer light, which is UVB light. It changes the double bond in a ring in cholesterol to turn it into something called 25-dihydroxyvitamin D. That’s not the key factor. It has to go to the kidney and liver then to be converted to 125. So, can you have a problem with vitamin D that starts on the skin, or could you have a problem if the kid has a problem with their liver or their kidney? The answer is yes. A lot of times, this never gets worked out. The most common reason for children why it’s a problem is their skin is blocked from clothing or sunscreen.

The reason why this is a big deal in adults, is if you look at your blood work and you notice when they do a lipid profile on you, that your cholesterol level’s going up, I can almost guarantee you what their answer is. They’re gonna tell you they want you to be on a statin. I’m gonna tell you, you need to be in the sun more, because high cholesterol levels chronically over time is almost always associated with low vitamin D levels because you’re not converting cholesterol into vitamin D.


Katie: Yeah, I think that’s such an important thing to understand. What about omega-3s, though? Because I feel like this is an area where there’s a lot of controversy, especially right now about if they are good, if they’re bad, if they’re rancid, if we should avoid them, if we should take them. What’s your take on that?


Dr. Kruse: You’re designed to get omega-3s from the marine seafood chain. Supplementing it, I’m not a fan of. And the reason why, most people need to understand that exogenous pills are polyunsaturated fat, that’s what DHA is. You have to realize how this works in an evolutionary standpoint. DHA is the only lipid in mammals that hasn’t changed in 650 million years.

In other words, there’s something specific about this chemical that is highly favorable to complex life. And most people don’t realize this. DHA, you know where the number one place that it’s found? Your central retinal pathways right in front of your eye clock. So, what’s the biophysics of DHA? Twenty-two carbons double-bonded that creates a pie electron cloud. Effectively what it is, it’s a copper wire that connects your retina to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, then to the hypothalamus.

So, remember all the things that we talked about, about refining the barrel of oil for your children? Well, if you don’t have good copper wires in your refinery, how do you think you’re gonna do? Not very good at all, right? So, that’s fundamentally what the problem is. Seafood is the best way for you to get it. Now, how you get it from seafood, that’s completely up to you. I would tell you use locally sourced stuff if you can. If you live in a place that doesn’t have it, that becomes much more difficult. But I’d much rather you eat the real food than the supplement.


Katie: Are there any, for you personally, exceptions to that or things the body doesn’t make that you would consider taking in a supplemental form, or do you stick to food and these other factors we’ve already talked about?


Dr. Kruse: Well, when I’m taking care of people, you know, on an acute basis, there may be things that I recommend on two or three-week period of time that I wouldn’t on a chronic basis. Like, if you’re trying to get over certain things, like for example during COVID when I told people, “Look, these are some of the things that you can do. These are things that would get you by for two, three, four months so you didn’t have to worry about COVID if you were not going outside.”

But I would always tell people, “If you go outside, raise your vitamin D level up, you improve your immune system.” Your immune system technically is your best protection. So, anything you can do to improve that standpoint.


Now, there’re certain people, like, remember most people that come to see me, their physiology is already trashed, they’ve already got diseases, so you’re trying to ramp them up and get them better. So, everybody’s unequal as one is different. And when somebody comes to see me, generally, it’s because their mitochondria is already screwed. So, the things that I’m always gonna recommend/teach is how to use purple and red light to re-innovate their bad mitochondria. But I may add certain things in if it shows that that problem exists. I would say maybe 50% of the time, that’s actually the case, but most people, once you get them through their acute issue, you don’t need to have any supplements.

UPDATE: November 20, 2024




https://i.imgur.com/iAECADL.gif I’m about half way through the video (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?123684-Dr.-Jack-Kruse-Blue-blocking-glasses-and-much-much-else&p=1642892&viewfull=1#post1642892) provided by ClearWater: “Sunlight: Optimize Health and Immunity (Light Therapy and Melatonin)". The format is ideal with Q&A, diagrams and bullet point slides and summaries along the way.

Before too much time passed, I want to update or add to the earlier information from Dr. Jack Kruse. He stated not to wear sunglasses, prescription glasses or contacts while soaking in the natural sunlight. It was to an interviewer that wore prescription glasses.

I’ve listened to about 7-9 other speakers and none of them brought up the topic. Whereas, Dr. Roger Seheult says and posted a slide: “Glasses/contacts do not interfere”.

And agreed, I would really like to have his material in text form.
Maybe somebody could do us an audio to text conversion of the podcasts for the library.
I wouldnt know how to do that.

[RunningDeer]

https://i.imgur.com/iAECADL.gif A few take aways from Dr. Jack’s info.




Natural daylight signals the brain to produce serotonin which is then converted into melatonin (sleep hormone) at night (in the absence of blue light). If you don't get enough sunlight each day, your serotonin levels won’t reach optimal levels which in turn results in diminished levels of melatonin at night.
....
If your skin is still being exposed to the artificial light in the home from over head LED lighting, high amounts of blue (and green) light hitting it at night can also disrupt sleep and circadian rhythms.
....
Stop eating 3-5 hours before bed. This prepares the body. If you eat too close to bedtime, your body utilizes high amounts of energy digesting food, preventing your body from entering a deep, restful sleep.
....
Blue light destroys dopamine reward tracks in brain. Sleep provides natural dopamine. Dopamine deficient means one must artificially create it. AND the bad guys assist through blue light tech this dopamine addictions for the negative rushes. (ex. no attention span, rage, abuse)

....

https://i.imgur.com/EkQUDnr.gif


Internet info for dopamine imbalances:

Addictions can cause physical and psychological problems, as well as interpersonal problems. Signs of addiction include cravings, intolerance, and withdrawal. 


Addictions can be physical or behavioral: 


Physical addictions- These include addictions to substances like alcohol, tobacco, opioids, prescription drugs, cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, hallucinogens, inhalants, and PCP. 

....
Behavioral addictions 
- These include addictions to activities like gambling, eating, exercising, shopping, shoplifting, having sex, viewing pornography, video gaming, work addiction, exercise addiction, and spiritual obsession. 

....
Online shopping addiction 
- Also known as compulsive buying disorder, this is a behavioral addiction that involves impulsive and compulsive buying of goods and services online.

Thank you, leavesoftrees & meat suit. I agree with your points. I’ve had to listen to a lot of vids and cross reference the chemistry and biology vocabulary for it to sink in. Some of the vocab doesn’t stick so much, so there’s a lot of time spent with review. (ex: Noether's theorem, POMC, ACTH binds to melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R)) I’m a couple of months into this info. A lot of it is finally coming together. I’m glad I stuck it out. The improved sleep and the lingering effects of watching the morning sun is a BIG win! Brainstorming ideas/solutions around my place come easier. Maybe I’m even a bit more intuitive? (to early to say…)

The health aspects are the most important for me. I’m okay with the general premises like:


Sun is food
block the negative (artificial) blue light spectrum
blue light tech destroys dopamine hence poor sleep and creates/feeds addictive behaviors
the sun produces serotonin which in turn coverts into melatonin for quality sleep

While I'm here, I'll add the summary to your video

Thank you so much for all your keypoints, summaries and infos you've gathered here! I had watched Dr. Kruse's interview on the Danny Jones podcast and wanted to learn more about red lights but then got overwhelmed by the information (and misinformation) out there. Your notes here help a lot!


I wondered why he has suddenly emerged.

I hadn't heard of him either until Clif High highly recommended his Danny Jones interview a few weeks ago. Could Clif have sparked this "Kruse-revival"? 😄

Runningdeear, I saw you in some of your post with such anti blue light glasses...

Can you describe your experience with those now? because just a few minutes ago i order my first glasses , will see say the blind one... :cool:

I appreciate it when the host provides a timeline with active links. I download those monster long videos and watch over a couple of days.

Generally speaking, Dr. Jack finds a way to bring in new material and covers a bit of the old. So each of the vids I caught I was able to patch together the information that interests me.

Good for you, Vicus! https://i.imgur.com/6Ey5pXo.gif

Good choice. If I were to pick one, block blue light would be top of the list especially if you spend a lot of time on blue lit screens. They lower dopamine levels and can set you up for a number of compulsions or addictions (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?123684-Dr.-Jack-Kruse&p=1638588&viewfull=1#post1638588).

I’m coming up on a month with the new behaviors. I use to go to bed around 11:00 pm to 12:00 am, now it’s hard to stay up passed 9:00-10:00 pm and I awake before sunrise. Some nights seem long but I still go right back to sleep. There were only two nights that I got up because I couldn’t get back to sleep. I suspect it was because of the supermoon, harvest moon, and a partial lunar eclipse. The second night was during the Northern Lights activity which was a little over a week ago.

One physical thing I notice is often I’ll automatically take a double or triple breath like the kind after a good cry. I notice how relaxed I am right after. And besides the improved sleep, there’s the lingering effects of watching the morning sun. The feeling is carried for hours. Another is brainstorming ideas/solutions around my place come easier. And I was serious about feeling bit more intuitive. I’ve noticed synchronicities that are only meaningful for me, but each time it’s a confirmation that the engine is more finely tuned.

I’ll add the first part of my post here because a good part of it is a repeat. But it explains how I've changed up other things as well.

My focus is on: diet, exercise, and sleep. I’m good with the first two. Sleep health was a distant 3rd. I shouldn’t be surprised that Dr. Jack’s information was synchronistic.

I use DayMax Glasses (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/computer-glasses) when I’m on the computer. They eliminating 100% of the harmful blue light. And switch to Nightfall Blue Blocking Glasses (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/blue-blocking-glasses-night-time) at sun down. I also have changed the incandescent bulbs for amber incandescent bulbs because they don’t have the blue-green spectrum that can effect the natural sleep patterns.

I have a motion sensor red light (https://www.blockbluelight.com/products/red-light-motion-night-light?_pos=1&_psq=twilight+motion+red+night+light&_ss=e&_v=1.0) in the bathroom. It doesn't interfere with the natural sleep patterns when I get up, so I’m able to go right back to sleep. It’s 100% blue and green light free, has zero flicker, and is low EMF.

For the morning routine, I spend first 15-30 minutes soaking in the rising sun. Dr. Jack explain that sunrise and sunset are potent times. You only need 1-3 minutes and also get as much sun as possible during the day.

Sweet dreams, Vicus. https://i.imgur.com/1zXOufk.gif

Night owl

There is nothing on this planet that could steal my sleep! (maximal 7 hours...)

And all my life been a Sun worshiper...inclusive now with fall temperature I ride my bike 2/3 times in the week to my favorite lake and bade in the Sun...or I go to a place 300m from home with open view to a big water canal with banks were I take my Sun doses every day... (never use sun blocker, maybe sometimes in Sumner "after sun" stuff...)

All my life been a active night owl,sometimes too much computer... that's what the glasses are for...

In time I will post my experiences with that...

Before I wind down on the thread, I wanted to add an image that shows the spectrum distribution from light sources.

The diagram shows the spectral test report of the three different types of lighting, compared with sunlight.


The LED lamp is shown by the blue line 
CFL (compact fluorescent light) light is green
The incandescent bulb is purple
The solar spectrum (sunlight from the sun) is shown in yellow



https://i.imgur.com/60hYxxU.png

Are LED Lights Bad For Your Eyes?



As you can see, light is composed of different types of colours. Sunlight is made of all the colours of the rainbow. Out of the seven colours, it’s only blue light (and a small amount of green light) that has health concerns. As you can see from the graph, the LED light show a huge spike of light in the blue light area, in the range of 300-455nm.

This is more than the other types of lighting- CFLs and incandescent bulbs. 

When our retinas are exposed to chronic blue light, a host of problems can occur, including visual fatigue, eye diseases, sleep disturbances etc. This is because we have special receptor cells on our retina called ipRGCs (intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells) which are responsible for detecting blue light only. No such cells exist for the other colours of the light spectrum. The job of these photoreceptor cells is to tell the brain whether it’s nighttime or daytime, according to the blue light received from the sun. When it receives untimely input (such as when you LEDs on after dark), it messes with your body’s natural functioning and disrupts your circadian rhythm. 

Secondly, blue light is very high in energy. In the graph above, as you move towards the warmer colours (yellow, orange and red) the wavelengths decrease and therefore the intensity of the light decreases. As you move to the cooler colours, the wavelength and energy intensity increase. When our eyes have to focus on these high-energy pixels for long periods, it can cause visual fatigue.

Lastly, LED lights have ‘invisible flicker (https://www.blockbluelight.com/blogs/news/flickering-lights-health-risks)’ due to the AC Mains power. Flicker is a fluctuation in the intensity of light and it’s of two types;


Visible flicker (under 100 Hz)
Invisible flicker (more than 100 Hz)


We can’t see the invisible flicker in LEDs with our naked eyes. However, if you put your smartphone in slow motion video and record an LED source, you can see for yourself the visible distortion in light. Studies have revealed that long-term exposure to flicker can lead to eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, fatigue, reduced visual task performance and even neurological problems in some scenarios.

"Blue light, more than any other type of light, suppresses the release of the sleep hormone melatonin in the body. Melatonin regulates our circadian rhythm, which is our sleep-wake cycle. Human eyes are sensitive to blue light as an indicator to sleep or remain awake. If exposure to blue light is constant, then the brain does not receive a message from the eyes to release melatonin. The body then chooses to remain awake or only sleep lightly."

"Blue light emitted from electronics may cause diseases such as "dry eye, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, even stimulating the brain, inhibiting melatonin secretion, and enhancing adrenocortical hormone production, which will destroy the hormonal balance and directly affect sleep quality." "



Blue Light Concerns



Technology has made our lives much more efficient and enjoyable. From laptops to HD Televisions and smartphones, technology has firmly established itself as an indispensable convenience in our world. Living without them would be unthinkable.

Unfortunately, these modern miracles are not without their drawbacks. Our human biology hasn’t evolved at the same rate our technology has. Our bodies still operate under the assumption that all light is natural light. What does light have to do with electronics and our bodies? Everything.


The Science of Light

Not all light is created equal. Just look at a rainbow, and you can see that visible light varies. All light is made up of a spectrum of distinct waves. The human eye picks up light wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers. The larger the number, the weaker the light and the longer and slower the wavelengths.


https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1014/4865/files/visible-light-spectrum_grande.jpg?v=1582577173

Red, for example, exists on one end of the spectrum and is made up of low energy waves. Red tends to be soothing because of its low waves. However, red light isn't conducive to working or daily life. Yellow light is in the middle of the visible light spectrum. The sun, the earth's primary source of energy, emits more yellow light because of its surface temperature. Blue, on the opposite end of the light spectrum of red and with much more energy than the sun's bright yellow light, has the highest energy frequency of them all. Blue light wavelengths are shorter and more frequent, consisting of 415 to 495 nanometers. Compare this to red's 600 to 700 nanometers, and blue light's wavelengths are by far quicker and stronger.


Blue Light and the Human Body

Blue light is everywhere, and it has a very natural purpose for the human body. Though primarily yellow, the sun also emits natural blue light. This blue light provides the human body with energy and stimulation. It improves reaction times, puts us in a good mood, and speeds up our thought process. Our sleep-wake cycle is tightly regulated by blue light. The jet-lag, which the body feels when traveling through time zones, is a side effect of the blue light disruption into the sleep-wake cycle.

Artificial sources of blue light also exist. The artificial light from the technology we hold near and dear, such as smartphones, laptops, and energy-efficient light bulbs, to name a few, all emit high amounts of blue light. Many of today's electronic devices use LEDs, to strengthen clarity and brightness on screens and keyboards. LEDs emit very high amounts of blue light.


https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1014/4865/files/1_d30879ca-0227-4452-b421-00e66cdcb160_600x600.png?v=1701902228


Electronics and artificial light increase human exposure to artificial blue light, with serious consequences. New to our evolutionary history, technology impacts our mental and physical health in ways that our bodies have yet to develop firewalls against.



Blue Light and Your Eyesight

According to a 2016 report published in the International Journal of Ophthalmology, states blue light emitted from electronics may cause diseases such as "dry eye, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, even stimulating the brain, inhibiting melatonin secretion, and enhancing adrenocortical hormone production, which will destroy the hormonal balance and directly affect sleep quality."

High-intensity blue light can come from any light source, including the sun. Consistent exposure to blue light can potentially damage the eyes.


Blue Light Differences: Day Versus Night

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1014/4865/files/main-qimg-29232fb0ba9fed369d5a7a79f85d4b3c_large.jpg?v=1582577655


Sunlight is the primary source of blue light. However, our bodies have evolved to accommodate and follow the light cycle of the sun. The artificial blue lights from electronics and lighting is a different story.

During the day, humans are exposed to additional blue light from indoor artificial lighting and electronics. Much of the exposure is from directly facing computer screens, televisions, tablets, and smartphones, where the blue light flows directly to our eyes.

As the day progresses, people remain exposed to artificial lighting and electronics up until bedtime. This exposure can prevent people from getting adequate sleep and contribute to a decline in productivity and mental wellbeing. And, to make things even worse for some people, blue light can filter in during their sleep from light pollution.


Blue Light and Sleep

Research indicates that blue light from electronics can severely impact sleep. Sleep is one of the most important ways for the body and mind to recover and heal. According to the National Institutes of Health, sleep deficiency is a consistent lack of sleep. Sleep deficiency can be a risk factor for disorders like depression, diabetes, and obesity.


https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1014/4865/files/e3923d78-82df-49b4-a993-3a2403fa1977_grande.png?v=1582577758


According to Harvard researchers, blue light, more than any other type of light, suppresses the release of the sleep hormone melatonin in the body. Melatonin regulates our circadian rhythm, which is our sleep-wake cycle. Human eyes are sensitive to blue light as an indicator to sleep or remain awake. If exposure to blue light is constant, then the brain does not receive a message from the eyes to release melatonin. The body then chooses to remain awake or only sleep lightly.



Not all Blue Light Blocking Glasses Are Created Equal, Which Blue Light Glasses Are The Best? full article (https://www.blockbluelight.com/blogs/news/which-blue-light-glasses-are-best)

First impressions

Yesterday I got my anti blue light glasses...

Just half hour use I noted a complete relax in front my computer...everything blue turned green...

One hour later without glasses was like I'm bade in blue light! (my PC room has a dark blue carpet but orange painted walls)

I makes a long night with games and a TV series and it was like : so what? PERFECT!
Later I sleeps like a baby (like always...)

One interesting experiment happens when you change all variants from Forum colors Display... for me my favorite is Avalon Blues...the blue turned greenish ...

The color from my glasses is dark yellow/red,looking outside trough the window (a sunny day) is everything "yellow",without
glasses is "aggressive" blue!

I can just recommended the glasses for everybody working/playing/ watching/writhing/reading from any display kind. :thumbsup:

Not all Blue Light Blocking Glasses Are Created Equal,
Which Blue Light Glasses Are The Best?



The Truth About Clear Lens Blue Light “Blockers”

Here’s the truth about clear lens blue light blocking glasses that help you fall asleep—there is no such thing! Clear lenses do not block the kind of light that keeps you from falling asleep. These should not be called blue blocking glasses at all as they only filter blue light, not block it. To truly block blue light it requires colored lenses to fully block its light waves. Clear lens blue light "blockers" have nothing to do with keeping insomnia inducing blue light from reaching your eyes, no matter what the companies say. It’s about science, and the science of light waves prevents clear lenses from blocking all blue light that interferes with melatonin release. Period. 

What these clear lens blue light “blockers” do is filter the blue light, mainly to prevent eyestrain. Their lenses do not filter out the blue light that prevents you from falling asleep. To filter out that wavelength of blue light, the lenses would have to be colored lenses, preferably amber or red. The true name for these type of daytime glasses is computer glasses or blue light filter glasses.

Some companies go to great lengths to try to prove that their clear glasses block blue light by using light demonstrations from a pen or screen. The light source in these demonstrations only emits a different wavelength of light, usually violet. This light is not the same light present in most artificial lighting and LEDs. These companies are deliberately misleading the public and misusing science. Do your homework when purchasing blue light blockers.


Cheap and Ineffective Blue Light Filter Glasses

Our BlockBlueLight ScreenTime computer glasses filter 50% of blue light across the entire blue light spectrum, making them far superior to less expensive glasses. Due to the rise in popularity for blocking blue light there are now many companies in the market offering inexpensive clear lens blue light glasses. However these glasses are useless and a waste of money. Most of these cheap glasses only filter 10-20% of blue light and do not help to manage sleep or protect eyesight in any significant way.

During the day its important for us to significantly reduce our blue light exposure, but not block it completely. As mentioned earlier moderate levels blue light during the day is important for health and keeping us awake and alert, however the levels we are consuming is far to high and completely unbalanced with the rest of the colour spectrum. We need to filter blue light across the entire spectrum by about 50% to bring this more into balance, this is the most effective amount to filter by during the day; filtering anymore will leave you feeling tired and unmotivated and start to tell your brain its nighttime,  and filtering any less will give you headaches, eye strain and leave you feeling anxious. 

Optometrists may even offer blue light "blocking " coating on prescription lenses. Unfortunately, the extra cost for this coating is unwarranted and ineffective. Most optometrists may offer the coating, but don’t know any specifics about what range and percentage of blue light the layer might block. The fact is, the coatings do not block blue light from the entire blue light spectrum or the part of the spectrum the matters the most.

Many blue light filter glasses claim to block a large percentage of blue light. However, the range of blue light they filter matters greatly. For example, most electronic devices emit light at their most potent wavelengths of about 440-460 nanometers. A majority of cheaper clear blue light blocking glasses and coatings only filter blue light in the 380-420 nanometer range. This limitation in range means light from electronic devices (at 440-460 nanometers) are allowed to pass through, making the glasses useless.

All blue light, which includes sunlight, LEDs, and other electronic devices, are within the wide range of 400 to 500 nanometers. For blue light filtering glasses to be truly useful, they must filter blue light over the entire blue light range. BlockBlueLight lenses from our daytime range filter blue light over the whole 400 to 500 nanometer blue light spectrum. More specifically they filter 50% of blue light at 455 nanometers, this is where the most energetic, damaging light emitted from screens, LED’s, and other modern artificial lighting. The majority of other blue light filter glasses available will filter 0% at 455nm.

I use DayMax Glasses (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/computer-glasses) when I’m on the computer. They eliminating 100% of the harmful blue light. And switch to Nightfall Blue Blocking Glasses (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/blue-blocking-glasses-night-time)

I just ordered Nightfall Blue Blocking Glasses from the link you provided! 😀 Thank you again RunningDeer for the link and your posts here, you saved me days or even weeks of research.

I'm probably going to have to pay huge import fees on top of that because I'm in Germany right now and had to order from Brexit-UK-blockbluelight. 😫 I would have loved to order some of their lightbulbs and reading lights as well, but with the fees and taxes there was no way... 😬
I also searched online for possible EU-vendors that offer high quality blue blocking products - but couldn't find any I found trustworthy. And none of my German speaking health groups on Telegram seem to have any discussions or recommendations on the Blue Light issue! 😳
On Amazon there are a lot of cheap ones, like 1/4 the price of blockbluelight. But from the articles you posted here I don't trust them; I need something that works.

This could really make a huge difference in my life. There is one review on the blockbluelight-Nighfall glasses that I can 100% identify with, she says:

"I have had sleep issues for decades. Gradually getting worse and worse to the point that I cannot plan or do anything much, as how much I can do in a day depends on how much sleep I got the night before. [...] Some people may be able to function on that amount but I never have been able to. I was just a zombie most of the time. Years wasted because of lack of sleep!"

This could have been written me! She says her sleep has been improving significantly with the Nightfall glasses, so I can't wait to try that!! I will let you guys know how it goes once I get them! 😀

https://i.imgur.com/CdVOrf3.gif Yay QueenRia! Yes, please keep us posted. I hope they work for you. A good night sleep priceless. I switch from my day blocking to night blocking glasses two to three hours before bedtime. They work. I quickly fall off to sleep.

What I figured out is when you unsubscribe from their emails, they’ll honor your request and send along a 15% discount in case you’ve forgotten something. So my last couple of items were with the discount. I considered the natural spectrum light bulb with winter coming and all, but I decided to purchase the Full Spectrum Lamp (https://www.blockbluelight.com/products/full-spectrum-lamp?variant=44630428188864) because I can move it where I need to rather than move a bulb from one room to the next. (It's oo costly to replace all the bulbs.)

The lamp is designed like the Full Spectrum Light bulbs (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/sleep-enhancing-lighting/products/full-spectrum-light-bulb) where you transition from dawn to dusk. For instances, you don’t keep the natural day light on at night because you're signaling the body for sleep time.

Full Spectrum Lamp (https://www.blockbluelight.com/products/full-spectrum-lamp?variant=44630428188864):


FULL SPECTRUM DAY MODE: Promotes positive mood, increases stable energy and sense of wellbeing. Replicates natural sunlight.
...
MIXED MODES: 3 modes that provide different levels of a warm low blue light option which replicates the same light during sunrise and late afternoon / sunset
...
EVENING MODE: 100% no blue light sleep friendly amber light, warm and relaxing candle light feel.
...
NIGHTLIGHT MODE: Red night light function to use late at night or in the middle of the night with no sleep disturbing light

Visible light, UV, and IR radiation affect all life on Earth in many ways, including:

Sleep/wake schedule: Visible light affects our circadian sleep/wake cycle.
Digestion, hormones, and body temperature: Visible light affects digestion, hormones, and body temperature.
Vitamin D production: UV light affects the production of Vitamin D.
Cellular energy production: IR radiation affects cellular energy production.

I’ve added another behavioral change. Not only am I sitting at sunrise, it’s at sunset as well. I should clarify where the sun sets, the trees cover the mountainous hills westward. So it’s more like the late afternoon sun. According to Dr. Jack, those are the most potent times for the UVA rays. UVB rays are from 11-2ish. (There are apps to assist in the ranges for your area.) See below for UVA & UVB benefits.

I’m amazed how in just a few short weeks the sun has changed it’s position. So rather than sitting at the kitchen door, I’m in the living room for both sunrise and sunset.

UVA rays have several benefits, including:


Vitamin D production: UVA rays help the body produce vitamin D, which is essential for human health. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus from food, and it's important for bone development. 
Improved cardiovascular health: UVA rays can improve cardiovascular health by reducing blood pressure and increasing blood flow in the forearm. 
Improved mood: UVA rays can improve mood by releasing endorphins. 
Antimicrobial effects: UVA rays can have antimicrobial effects. 
Neurotransmitter: UVA rays can act as a neurotransmitter. 
Anti-inflammatory effects: UV light can treat inflammatory skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.



Ultraviolet-B (UVB) rays have some health benefits, including:

Vitamin D production: UVB rays trigger the production of vitamin D in the skin, which is important for bone and muscle health, immune function, and calcium and phosphorus absorption. 

Skin conditions: UVB rays can be used in phototherapy, a light therapy treatment for skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and vitiligo. 
Tanning: UVB rays can cause delayed tanning, which increases melanin in the skin and acts as a sunscreen. 

Multiple sclerosis: UV exposure can suppress symptoms of multiple sclerosis. 

Cardiovascular health: UV exposure can generate nitric oxide, which may improve cardiovascular health and reduce blood pressure. 

Mood: UV exposure may improve mood by releasing endorphins.

Nitric oxide:

Nitric oxide is a gas that's a combination of one part nitrogen and one part oxygen, and it has many important roles in the body: 


Chemical messenger: Nitric oxide is a chemical messenger that sends signals to help with many bodily functions. 


Vasodilator: Nitric oxide relaxes blood vessels, which allows more blood, oxygen, and nutrients to flow through the body. 


Neurotransmitter: Nitric oxide acts as a neurotransmitter. 


Bronchodilator: Nitric oxide acts as a bronchodilator agent. 


Radical scavenger: Nitric oxide acts as a radical scavenger.



https://i.imgur.com/EkQUDnr.gif

Nitric oxide is produced by the body from compounds in food, and it's found in every organ. The body also produces nitric oxide in the nose and sinuses when you breathe through your nose. 

Too little nitric oxide can lead to endothelial dysfunction, which can damage cells and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.


https://i.imgur.com/FsqtUju.jpg

Symptoms of low nitric oxide include:


Fatigue
Erectile dysfunction
Elevated blood sugar
High blood pressure
Poor wound healing
Muscle soreness
Memory loss


You can boost your body's production of nitric oxide by eating a balanced diet that includes leafy greens. Avoiding processed foods, fried foods, and cooking oils can also help. 

Nitric oxide is also used as a medicine to treat respiratory failure in newborn babies. It's inhaled through a breathing machine (ventilator) and works by relaxing the muscles in the lungs to widen blood vessels.

They're quick to ship your order. As I mentioned to Mike, the only drawback is the company is in Australia so the order takes 7-10 business days to the East Coast US. Which means it's two weeks because you count the weekends.

Blue Light Phone Filters

https://i.imgur.com/sbg3NIn.jpg

Installing a blue light filtering app on your phone is very helpful. Not all apps can work intuitively or provide effective protection without sacrificing visibility during the day.

If this is the case with your chosen app or you just don’t want to add another app to your phone, check out our blue blocking screen filters (https://www.blockbluelight.com/products/blue-blocking-screen-filter-iphone) for iPhones. These screen filters also serve as screen protectors while blocking the blue light from your phone at all times without compromising on visibility.

Other Tips to Reduce Blue Light Exposure


Set your computer screen colours to a warmer setting
Adjust the angle of your computer to prevent glare
Take frequent breaks from your computer, preferable every 20 minutes to focus on something further away for 20 seconds or so
Go for a walk or sit in a room that makes use of natural light during longer breaks

The F.lux Blue Light Exposure Protection App
(What You Need to Know Before Downloading It)


(source + product links (https://www.blockbluelight.com/blogs/news/flux-blue-light-filter-app?_pos=1&_psq=f.lux&_ss=e&_v=1.0))

Most people today use computer and mobile phone screens as if there no consequences. But there are some of us who have found what seems like a useful way to combat its effects – the f.lux blue light filter app.

Using computers, television and mobile phone screens all the time can lead to eye strain and pain in your eyes because you’re constantly exposed to blue light. Our monitors expose all of us to the full spectrum of light wavelengths, so you can see blues and greens (cool colours) as well as oranges and reds (warm colours).

The f.lux blue light filter app, however, appears to be a very convenient way to reduce our exposure to blue light. All you really have to do is activate the app, and it changes the total colour spectrum that is emitted from your computer’s screen.

While there are many ways that we can combat blue light and its effects, is the f.lux blue light exposure app one of them? Below, we’ll look into f.lux, how blue light works, and whether the app is a useful tool to mitigate its harmful effects.
 
First, what is blue light and how does it affect human health?

Before we talk about f.lux in any further detail, it is useful to know a little bit more about blue light and how it can affect our health. Blue light is actually a type of artificial light, emitted from electronic devices like phones, laptops, televisions, computers and tablets. Blue light has the effect of boosting our alertness and helping us be productive, but too much of it is never a good thing.

That’s because blue light is an a type of light with a wavelength of 380-500 nanometres (nm). It has a shorter wavelength which means it can scatter much more easily. The effects of looking at blue light for too long can cause serious health problems in human beings such as heart disease and cancer. It can also cause sleep disorders like insomnia, sleep phrase disorder (DSPD). It may also cause ‘eye strain’ and other forms of eye damage like retinal degeneration.
 
What is f.lux and how does it work?

F.lux is a popular computer application that markets itself as an app whereby you can lower the level of blue light on your screen, thereby acting like the natural variations of regular daylight. You download the app on your computer (both on PC and Mac).

The f.lux app changes the colours on your screen so that the blue colour sub-pixels in the display of your LCD screen quite literally shut off. Usually, your screen will be made up of pixels, each of which has a sub-pixel of different colours being red, blue and green. These sub-pixels can be turned off individually.


https://i.imgur.com/XE4rLen.png

F.lux is adjusted to the position of the sun in sky. When the sun sets, the app automatically changes the colour on your screen so that it is a sort of reddish amber. However, if you activate f.lux to its most extreme, you can shut every single blue sub-pixel off.
 
Does f.lux really filter out blue light?

Yes, it does. It is able to filter out the blue light from screens by shutting off the blue sub-pixels within the pixels of your screen. These pixels don’t actually emit light – rather, they ‘filter’ the light.

Pixels, however, will always leak some light. This will even be the case when they are completely turned off (a phenomenon known as LED ‘backlight bleeding’).

This means that f.lux cannot filter out all blue light.


https://i.imgur.com/iYd59n3.png

What about other blue light filter apps, like Night Shift?

Night Shift is an app that was introduced by Apple. It automatically adjusts the colours on your iPhone’s screens to warmer hues when the sun goes down and the sky becomes dark.

But it still does not completely resolve the problem of blue light being emitted from our screens and affecting our health.
Below, we’ll explain a little more why this is the case.
 
Why the f.lux blue light app (and others) are not ideal blue light solutions

While blue light solutions like the f.lux blue light app are free and easy solutions, they are not ideal. And it all stems down to the fact that they do not act as a proper filter to remove all blue light.

The f.lux app simply reduces blue light, but it does not completely block it out. This is because all screens will still suffer from ‘backlight bleeding’ – this is light metaphorically ‘bleeding’ from the backlight and the edges. F.lux cannot pick this up – nor can Night Shift or other apps.

The consequences of this are that the f.lux app and Night Shift functions still do not solve the problem of regular blue light exposure. All the blue light in your devices will continue to disturb your circadian rhythm (i.e. that internal clock running inside your brain that cycles between being alter and being sleepy) and also cause you ‘eye strain’.

Using our phones and watching a Netflix binge on a regular basis really does disturb this rhythm. The result is we struggle to focus and sort of feel ‘out of it’. If you suffer from sleep deprivation, the consequences are suffering from:

Anxiety
Obesity
Diabetes
High blood pressure
Heart disease
Cancer


We therefore suggest you find alternatives to f.lux and other blue light filter apps. The good news is that there are other ways to protect your eyes, which we’ll outline in more detail below.
 
How to protect your eyes without relying only on the f.lux blue light app

The f.lux blue light app is a good start, but you shouldn’t rely on it alone to protect your eyes. Here are two ways you can effectively protect your eyes from computer screens and harmful blue light emission from other devices without using these apps.

Don’t look at screens at least 2 hours before you go to bed

Stop using your electronic devices at night-time – at the very least, stop using screens just two hours before going to bed.
Now, we understand that this sounds a lot easier than it actually is for many people. Our jobs might keep us awake at night. Our Netflix binge may be the highlight of our day, as we immerse ourselves into a world very distant from our own. Scrolling through TikTok or Instagram Reels may also simply be too hard for us to resist in many circumstances.

Cue the second way to protect your eyes.
 
Invest in high-quality blue light glasses

Investing in a pair of blue light glasses is an excellent solution. This is even the case if you don’t stop or reduce your screen time.
Wearing blue light glasses can help prevent eye strain, improve your sleep and maintain your overall health by completely block out blue light.

Block Blue Light have developed excellent daytime glasses and nighttime blue light glasses to entirely eliminate your exposure to blue light while your using the computer, your phone or other blue light emitting devices.

Our daytime glasses come in clear lens and yellow lens options. The ScreenTime clear lens computer glasses are crafted to allow good light into the eyes, keeping us alert and in good health, while filtering out harmful blue light. ScreenTime reduces blue light by 50% across the spectrum and targets blue light at the 455n range. By contrast, our DayMax yellow lens glasses is the next level up, designed to block 100% of blue light at the lower range (400-455nm).

Our nighttime glasses are designed to work against the ‘rise and shine’ message your brain receives when you’re exposed to blue light at night. Our amber lens ‘Sundown’ glasses option is designed to block 100% of blue light, and are best worn around 2-3 hours before going to bed. While our red lens ‘nightfall’ glasses block not only 100% of blue light, but also 100% of green light up to 550nm.

The technology we use for our glasses is crafted to reduce blue light by 50% across the blue light spectrum. Our clear lens computer glasses in particular are made to target blue light at the 455nm range. This is absolutely integral because that’s the strongest wavelength emitted from our digital devices.

Get in touch with our professional team at Block Blue Light if you have any further questions about the f.lux blue light app, blue light glasses or how blue light can affect you.

What is Blue Light?



The short answer is that blue light is the type of light emitted by the screens of electronic devices such as cellphones, computers, and televisions. You can actually tell in the dark or if you look at these screens from a certain angle that the light has a blueish tinge. Blue light is also present in sunlight, this is a bit harder to see, sunlight certainly doesn’t look blue.

You see, different types or colours of light have different frequencies and wavelengths. For simplicity, we’ll look at wavelengths. We can see light waves from 400 nanometres which are violet all the way to light waves of 700 nanometres which is red.

Sunlight contains violet, blue, indigo green, yellow, orange, and red light frequencies which results in white light. Fluorescent lights also emit a lot of blue light.



https://i.imgur.com/vkGkd9z.jpg
 
What is The Truth About Blue Light Eye Damage?

High energy blue light, found in the 415 to 450-nanometre range can cause retinal degeneration. Studies have found a positive link between lower energy blue light (450 to 500-nanometre range) such as the type emitted by many electronic devices and damage to vision, there is enough evidence to warrant concerns.

Many older people who have been exposed to electronics for two decades or more develop cataracts. This can also be attributed to spending many hours in the sun without wearing a hat or adequate sunglasses. This is due to both UV light and blue light.

A review of studies on age-related macular degeneration (deterioration of vision) and blue light have seen a link, particularly after cataracts surgery. Cataracts protect the eye from light, and without this and the lower melanin content in the eye, blue light speeds up the deterioration of vision.

Our eyes are protected by melanin, the same thing that gives colour to our skin and hair. As we age, we start losing that protection. People in their 60’s only have about half the amount of melanin in their eyes compared to when they were in their 30’s.

It’s not just people over 50 who need to take care of their eyes. Fluorescent lighting and sitting in front of a computer screen for several hours a day is harsh on the eyes. Anyone who works in this kind of environment and has tired eyes that feel strained at the end of each day can attest to that.

Did you know that people under the age of 30 haven’t developed sufficient lens pigmentation to offer protection?

Our eyes allow us to see by letting light in through the pupils. This light is then focused onto the retina which is a light-sensitive membrane. The retina is most sensitive to blue light. Photo-oxidation can occur due to overexposure which releases free radicals. Just as overexposure to the sun starts to damage our skin via free radicals, so excess blue light starts to damage the retina.

How to Protect Your Eyes

Of course, cutting down your exposure would be a very effective way to reduce the chance of blue light eye damage, and certainly, with children, this may be done with more ease.

But blocking or filtering out blue light is a much easier suggestion than asking everyone to cut down on time behind a screen. With many jobs involving computers and offices often being lit with fluorescent lights, we come home to spend time in front of the TV or our phones, and for some, even more time on a computer. At Block Blue Light, we have a range of options that will fit easily into your lifestyle and we cater for kids and adults.

Blue Light Blocking Glasses

Daylight computer glasses are a great way to reduce eye strain and filter out blue light, which is especially important closer to bedtime. Some options fit over spectacles and there are options for children too.

Studies suggest that blue light glasses don’t hamper vision and had anti-glare benefits and may be an effective way to protect the eyes while working on the computer and reduce eye strain. Using blue light blocker glasses with red or orange lenses can be beneficial for relieving eye strain after a day at the office and for helping you to sleep better at night.

Eye-Friendly Lighting

The blue blocking light bulbs and lighting range include bulbs that range from orange to red, a red light blue light blocking torch, an amber book light, and even red light therapy panels. These lights are gentle on your eyes and have the added bonus of helping you to fall asleep faster.

Blue Light Phone Filters

Installing a blue light filtering app on your phone is very helpful. Not all apps can work intuitively or provide effective protection without sacrificing visibility during the day.

If this is the case with your chosen app or you just don’t want to add another app to your phone, check out our blue blocking screen filters (https://www.blockbluelight.com/products/blue-blocking-screen-filter-iphone) for iPhones. These screen filters also serve as screen protectors while blocking the blue light from your phone at all times without compromising on visibility.

Other Tips to Reduce Blue Light Exposure:

Set your computer screen colours to a warmer setting
Adjust the angle of your computer to prevent glare
Take frequent breaks from your computer, preferable every 20 minutes to focus on something further away for 20 seconds or so
Go for a walk or sit in a room that makes use of natural light during longer breaks

 
Is There Any Benefit to Blue Light?

While we need to protect our eyes from overexposure to blue light, there are a few benefits to it as well, particularly in the morning. As mentioned before, sunlight naturally contains blue light and getting just a few minutes regularly will be enough to reap the benefits without risking skin or eye damage caused by too much sun.

Here’s how it helps us:

It helps to regulate our sleep-wake cycle: Blue light regulates our circadian rhythm. Letting some morning sunlight in is a good idea or even sitting outside. Just don’t forget to wear sunscreen and sunglasses if you are going to be in the sun for longer than 20 minutes.
It helps us feel alert: Another bonus of morning light is that it helps us feel energized. This is also why bright light, particularly cold white light, at night will keep you up.
It supports focus: Blue light helps with cognitive tasks such as focus and memory.
It boosts our mood: This is especially true of people who struggle with seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Spending some time in the sun is a very effective treatment. Light therapy boxes are an alternative when this isn’t possible.
It helps to develop children’s eyes: We are referring to sunlight here. A lack of sunlight and too much screen-time are both risk factors for developing near-sightedness. 
 

How Much Blue Light is Too Much?

There isn’t any conclusive data on exactly how much exposure is too much. Just a few decades ago, we weren’t spending much time on electronic devices. People were usually only exposed to artificial blue light when watching television. Studies are ongoing and will hopefully give more detailed guidelines in future.

If you experience eye strain, headaches, or feel your eyes going dry, you could definitely benefit from using blue light blocking glasses and taking frequent breaks from the computer. At very least, use eye-friendly lighting in your home.

There is no question that blue light has a big impact on our lives and that too much of it can lead to negative effects on our eyes. Using the right tools can reduce the risk of retinal degeneration and even prevent it.

This is especially important for people under 30 and those who are over 50. This is because our eyes don’t have enough of the natural defense that the pigment, melanin, provides. But we should all be taking preventative measures to protect our eyes, no matter how old we are.

Blue blocking computer glasses are an easy and effective solution. Installing blue light filter applications on your computer and smartphone is also helpful. Using warm-toned lighting in your home will protect your eyes and help you to sleep better.

Frequently Asked Questions (https://www.blockbluelight.com/pages/frequently-asked-questions):

What is melatonin and why is it important?

Melatonin, also known as the 'sleep hormone', is produced by the brain's pineal gland. Melatonin is responsible for regulating sleep and wakefulness. After the sun sets and it starts to get dark, a signal is sent to our brain to start secreting melatonin which causes sleepiness and encourages us over time to drop into a deep sleep. After the sun sets, exposure to artificial blue light disrupts this evolutionary process of 'priming' you for sleep. This harmful light suppresses the release of melatonin as it signals your brain that it is still daylight, trying to keep you awake and alert.

Melatonin plays a significant role in our overall health, one of its key roles is to counteract stimulating energetic hormones such as cortisol in your system. When melatonin is high, cortisol will be low. This allows us to be in a low stress and relaxed state which promotes our body to obtain restful sleep and boosts cell regeneration. However, if melatonin is low (due to being suppressed from blue light), cortisol will remain high - keeping you energized and stimulated at night; thus, it disturbs your quality of sleep. Constant high cortisol equates to constant high stress, which will wreak havoc on the body! In this way, melatonin is necessary to maintain a regular and healthy body clock and sleep wake cycles.

For more detailed information on melatonin, please see our blog article Melatonin 101–Why This Sleep Hormone Supercharges Health and How You Can Produce More (https://www.blockbluelight.com/blogs/news/health-benefits-of-melatonin)

Can I use the Night-time glasses during the daytime as well?

We do not recommend using the night-time glasses during the day as this will create a circadian mismatch and will actually cause issues with sleep later in the evening. Using night-time glasses during the day with be very harmful and will actually be detrimental to your health. Let me give you a bit more detail as to why:

Our night-time glasses block 100% of blue light, and when your brain receives no blue light signals it assumes its night-time so it will start to prepare you for sleep even if it’s the middle of the day. So having these glasses on during the daytime will leave you feeling tired, unmotivated, sleepy, and your brain will be very confused as to what’s going on!

Over time a lack of blue light during the day will lead to low energy and motivation, and will create a circadian rhythm mismatch, so you want to make sure you’re not blocking it all out during the day!

We need healthy amounts of blue light during the day as its responsible for making us feel awake, motivated and alert. The issue we have is we get far too much blue light during the day as modern lighting, screens, and devices, as they emit very unnatural levels of blue light, so we need to bring it back into balance and that’s were our daytime glasses help.

Our daytime glasses allow the healthy wavelengths of blue light through to allow you to feel awake and alert, and filter down the harmful wavelengths that cause eye damage, headaches, and eye strain.

The key here is to target the exact wavelengths of blue light that lighting and screens emit the most, this is 455nm. Our glasses have been designed to filter the 455nm range of blue light by 50% with our ScreenTime clear lens, and 100% with our DayMax yellow lens, whereas most daytime blue light glasses will only filter blue light up to 430nm, and filter none at all at 455nm making them very ineffective.

So be sure to look for the exact specifications of blue light filtering when getting daytime glasses.

Then at night-time we need to make sure we block ALL blue light, as any amount getting through is enough of a signal to the brain that it’s still daytime, so our sleep hormone melatonin will be suppressed and you will have lower sleep quality, trouble falling asleep, or staying asleep, or all of these issues. So ensuring the glasses you use are blocking 100% of blue light is key for night-time!

When Should I wear the Night-time sleep glasses?

Once the sun has set and you're being exposed to any artificial light source we strongly recommend wearing our night-time blue light glasses. These glasses should stay on from the point of sunset up until going to bed. This allows your brain to recognise that it's night-time and to start to wind down for sleep, this cannot happen in the presence of any blue or green light.

Wearing the night-time glasses as soon as it gets dark will ensure maximum melatonin release which will then ensure you obtain deepest and most restful sleep.

How does blue (and green) light affect sleep?

Melatonin (the sleep hormone) is produced by our brains which makes us fall and stay asleep.

Darkness causes the body to produce melatonin, which causes sleepiness, that signals the body that it is time to sleep.

Exposure to blue and green light at night suppresses the release of melatonin as it signals your brain that it is still daylight, trying to keep you awake and alert.

Reduction in melatonin makes it hard to fall asleep and/or stay asleep, drastically lowers sleep quality, and causes serious sleep disruption.

Quality sleep is essential for maintaining a healthy body and mind.

What are the sources of artificial light?

Most people are completely unaware that the sources of artificial blue light are everywhere; in today's modern world, you simply cannot escape it. All modern devices which have a light source will produce some amount of blue light even if it doesn't appear to look noticeably blue.

In fact, all artificial, electric-powered devices which produce a light source will emit blue light to varying degrees, even if it doesn't look blue. The most common sources of artificial blue light include:

Tablets such as iPads
Smartphones
Monitors from computers and laptops
LED and plasma TV screens
Fluorescent lighting in offices and stores
Conventional LED lighting in houses
The light inside your fridge

Is blue light bad for my eyes?

If you are working for prolonged periods of time on computer screens or under harsh artificial lighting during daytime hours, you are damaging your eyes from chronic exposure to harmful blue light.

Symptoms can manifest as digital eye strain, dry, itchy or irritated eyes, headaches and migraines, even loss of vision from macular degeneration.

I've bought some Blue Light Blocking glasses off Ebay .... £8.85.... ($11.48)

they say they are 99% blue light blocking (?) - I've been wearing them for the computer and generally in the evening and I think they are helping me to get a more restful sleep... I always wake up at least once or twice in the night but even so the chunks of sleep that I get seem better and deeper...

For the price I'm happy with them... if there were any left I would have had the 'leopard' frame ones but they only had the gloss black ones ... but they're ok...

Had them about 5 days -

these are them... and there are lots of other ones on the site at differing prices...

I think this subject has relevance for my thread.... 'The Second Coming - Christ Within'......(Spirituality section) ....aka the Sacred Secretion - there was something that Kruse said about the (cerebrospinal fluid) (+) melatonin being in the Pineal Gland but the majority of it is in all the cells of the body - which would make sense... how you can get the kundalini energy buzzing all around the body including the arms and legs... and it doesn't have to always be the more intense + dramatic, up (or down) the spine thing - - -

You're welcome, jaybee. https://i.imgur.com/gXR1YbU.gif Thanks for your in-put with the positive effects of blue blocking glasses.

There are a lot of things happening to effect our biology and the quality of life, but blocking out the toxic blue light is something we can change in a matter of days. And with a few behavioral changes, we also restore the dopamine imbalances which precipitate all kinds of addictions. (added below)

It's hard to know which blockers are effective and which are bogus. This post confirmed my personal experience with Amazon glasses: Not all Blue Light Blocking Glasses Are Created Equal, Which Blue Light Glasses Are The Best? (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?123684-Dr.-Jack-Kruse&p=1639115&viewfull=1#post1639115)

I mentioned earlier how I wasted money on a pair of cheapo blue block glasses from Amazon, which included a blue block test kit to prove they block the blue light. It wasn’t until my new glasses arrived that I discovered how true this statement is: “You get what you pay for. I had the new 100% blue blocking glasses (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/blue-blocking-glasses-night-time) on and couldn’t see the time on the digital clock because the numbers were blue.

These are some photos I took this evening to demonstrate the difference:

Compare my DayMax glasses on the left with the Amazon glasses on the right. Alas, it's hard to see, but in real time the DayMax are a different color blue because they eliminates 100% of the harmful blue light, hence a change in blue. Whereas there's no change in color for the Amazon glasses.


https://i.imgur.com/Agpelvy.png

DayMax Glasses provide MAXIMUM protection against blue light during the day by eliminating 100% of the harmful blue light emitted from screens, devices, and lighting, while still allowing all the essential beneficial light though responsible for positive mood, energy, and focus.

Amazon glasses - ANDWOOD blue blocker glasses women are use substrate anti-blue light lens: Filter high level blue light from digital screen of computer, phone and TV, maintain HD clear vision with less color distortion. They alleviates visual fatigue and discomfort from long periods of web surfing, gaming and working under fluorescent lights with UV400 protection can effectively block 100% harmful UV rays and glare reduction.


My Night Glasses

NightFall Blue Blocking Glasses feature our signature blue AND green light blocking red lens. These are the most optimal blue light blocking glasses available for optimising sleep and balancing hormones...

Our optical grade red lenses block 100% of blue and green light from 400nm to 550nm. This is the exact range that has been shown in clinical trials to lower melatonin and negatively impact our sleep.

Chart: Lens Comparison Summary (https://www.blockbluelight.com/pages/blue-light-lens-colour-guide) at the bottom of the page is a helpful comparison.


https://i.imgur.com/FKS8RlG.png

As mentioned earlier, another reason why I’m blocking out the negative blue light is because blue light destroys the dopamine reward tracks in brain. Sleep provides natural dopamine. Dopamine deficient means one must artificially create it. AND the bad guys assist through blue light tech this dopamine addictions for the negative rushes. (ex. no attention span, rage, abuse)

Dopamine imbalances:

Addictions can cause physical and psychological problems, as well as interpersonal problems. Signs of addiction include cravings, intolerance, and withdrawal. 

Addictions can be physical or behavioral: 


Physical addictions - These include addictions to substances like alcohol, tobacco, opioids, prescription drugs, cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, hallucinogens, inhalants, and PCP. 


Behavioral addictions - These include addictions to activities like gambling, eating, exercising, shopping, shoplifting, having sex, viewing pornography, video gaming, work addiction, exercise addiction, and spiritual obsession. 

Online shopping addiction - Also known as compulsive buying disorder, this is a behavioral addiction that involves impulsive and compulsive buying of goods and services online.

Thank you, Vangelo. https://i.imgur.com/PvYgFw5.gif

That clock is in the living room. If it was in the bedroom it (the blue light) would mess up my circadian rhythms.


Circadian rhythm defined

Circadian rhythms refers to the multiple patterns that occur in living beings over a 24-hour cycle: 

Explanation 


Circadian rhythms are the physical, mental, and behavioral changes that occur in living beings over a 24-hour cycle. They are controlled by a biological clock, which is made up of proteins that respond to the day and night cycle. The term "circadian" comes from the Latin words circa, meaning "about", and diem, meaning "day". 


Examples 


Almost all living things have circadian rhythms, including animals, plants, and microorganisms. In humans, nearly every tissue and organ has its own circadian rhythm. 


Factors that influence circadian rhythms


The biggest influence on circadian rhythms is light and dark, but other factors include food intake, stress, physical activity, social environment, and temperature. 


Impact on sleep


Misaligned circadian rhythms can make it harder to fall asleep, lead to more wake-ups during the night, and result in less sleep overall.

I agree, jaybee. Each and every choice moves us out of their way into our way. There are things we can do to change our lives, our environments now. Every change opens us. Things begin to click in ways we never were able to know or see. We rip off blinders of many levels through choice and action.

I soooo get the budget thing. Christmas is early. A lot of finagling went on over several months and a few more to come. It’s an investment in quality living. As mentioned, for most of my life, I’ve been good with right foods and exercise, but a restful night sleep was a distant third. This new found knowledge is priceless. My goal is to sleep through the night. I’m liking the challenge.

While I’m here, I’ll add this for new comers to the thread:



Why are there other blue light glasses that are cheaper than BlockBlueLight's Sleep Glasses? (https://www.blockbluelight.com/pages/frequently-asked-questions)

Many glasses that claim to be blue light blocking glasses on the market are just cheap glasses with an insufficient blue light reflective coating applied to them. These cheap glasses only filter anywhere from 5-15% of blue light. No science has gone into creation of blue light lens to ensure its blocking blue light in line with peer reviewed academic literature for sufficient protection.

BlockBlueLight's Blue Light Glasses are evidence based, science backed, and align with the academic research on blue light. We use a special pigment embedded into the lens which absorbs the blue light as it passes through (instead of just a basic reflective coating), this ensures our blue light lenses block 100% of all the blue and green light up to 550nm which is the exact wavelengths of light shown in the research to lower our melatonin levels and impact our sleep.

BlockBlueLight shows its lens reports for each lens on our website. Located under each individual product. No other company will show you their lens reports as they have something to hide, we do not and are happy to share these with you.

BlockBlueLight Glasses are also made with top quality acetate frames with spring hinges and top of the line optical grade CR-39 lenses . We are confident that you won't find better quality blue light blocking glasses on the market.

I've been using Gunnar brand glasses for 15+ years. They started as a Gaming glasses brand that specialized in blue light blocking & eye strain relief lenses.

This may vary from each persons Vision plan but mine covers a pair of Gunnars every few years. You do have to book an eye test with a company that sells Gunnar, which you can find a list of on Gunnars site & pay the co-pay.

If you're looking for a legitimate blue light blocking brand, Gunnar is one of them.

Dr. Kruse inspired me not to just use my near infrared sauna lights for saunas. I now have them in my main room plus use them for saunas. I have to move them back and forth from room to room but they're on a sturdy board with metal cages to protect the bulbs so not a problem. For winter I use them next to my wood stove in my sunroom for saunas. I like the way these lights feel: https://sauna.space/products/shower-sauna-conversion-kit.

I've also eliminated LED light bulbs from my home and am replacing the incandescents with full spectrum bulbs: https://healthlighting.com/collections/chromalux-full-spectrum-incandescent-bulbs

I use the 150 watt full spectrum bulbs for my living room/dining room area. I replaced my living room ceiling fixture with three 150 watt bulbs. It created too much heat so I had to keep the glass enclosure off. It feels like I have a mini-sun in my living room. So nice for dark fall/winter days.

Some bulbs such as in track lighting are difficult or now impossible to replace with incandescents or full spectrum bulbs so I'll eventually have to wire in new light fixtures in some rooms. Fortunately, I saw what was coming so I'd bought a lot of incandescents from Home Depot and now I see that they only offer LED lights.

If I’m not mistaken, Dr. Jack is wearing night-time red glasses during the day. The research on the Block Blue Light (https://www.blockbluelight.com/pages/frequently-asked-questions) website makes sense.

EDIT TO ADD: Maybe it's night and the studio is all lit up? Jack suggests that if you've gotta go out with your buddies then wear glasses. I'd assume he means the yellow-day glasses because the red glasses at night makes you sleepy.https://i.imgur.com/JC4ll0L.gif

Our glasses have been designed to filter the 455nm range of blue light by 50% with our ScreenTime clear lens, and 100% with our DayMax yellow lens, whereas most daytime blue light glasses will only filter blue light up to 430nm, and filter none at all at 455nm making them very ineffective.

At night-time we need to make sure we block ALL blue light, as any amount getting through is enough of a signal to the brain that it’s still daytime, so our sleep hormone melatonin will be suppressed and you will have lower sleep quality, trouble falling asleep, or staying asleep, or all of these issues. So ensuring the glasses you use are blocking 100% of blue light is key for night-time!

I've been using Gunnar brand glasses for 15+ years. They started as a Gaming glasses brand that specialized in blue light blocking & eye strain relief lenses.

This may vary from each persons Vision plan but mine covers a pair of Gunnars every few years. You do have to book an eye test with a company that sells Gunnar, which you can find a list of on Gunnars site & pay the co-pay.

If you're looking for a legitimate blue light blocking brand, Gunnar is one of them.

Cheers!

Dr. Kruse inspired me not to just use my near infrared sauna lights for saunas. I now have them in my main room plus use them for saunas. I have to move them back and forth from room to room but they're on a sturdy board with metal cages to protect the bulbs so not a problem. For winter I use them next to my wood stove in my sunroom for saunas. I like the way these lights feel: https://sauna.space/products/shower-sauna-conversion-kit.

I've also eliminated LED light bulbs from my home and am replacing the incandescents with full spectrum bulbs: https://healthlighting.com/collections/chromalux-full-spectrum-incandescent-bulbs

I use the 150 watt full spectrum bulbs for my living room/dining room area. I replaced my living room ceiling fixture with three 150 watt bulbs. It created too much heat so I had to keep the glass enclosure off. It feels like I have a mini-sun in my living room. So nice for dark fall/winter days.

Some bulbs such as in track lighting are difficult or now impossible to replace with incandescents or full spectrum bulbs so I'll eventually have to wire in new light fixtures in some rooms. Fortunately, I saw what was coming so I'd bought a lot of incandescents from Home Depot and now I see that they only offer LED lights.



Thanks for the links, TrumanCash. https://i.imgur.com/LAk0Fum.gif

That’s a good price for the 3-way full-spectrum incandescent bulbs @ healthlighting.com (https://healthlighting.com/collections/chromalux-full-spectrum-incandescent-bulbs) - $11-$13. It's almost three times more @ BlockBlueLight.com (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/full-spectrum-lighting/products/full-spectrum-light-e14) - $31.

I replaced about half the white incandescent bulbs with Blue Light Blocking Amber Light Bulb (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LMRN2WB?smid=A8UONSWD50SMA&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp&th=1)s that I found @ Amazon and switched out the lamp shades for white ones.

RE: red and near infrared

In one video Dr. Jack talks about how a good friend or relative fell off the roof and caused more injury to an already injured leg (IIRC). Dr. Jack had him use his red and near infrared tech several times a day and some where in there he also took Methylene Blue as part of the healing process. I don’t recall the exact outcome, but it was sorta miraculous.

Here’s part of my repost for light therapy:



It’ll be a year next month that I added red and near infrared therapy. It’s a preventive tool that I use for 12 minutes, twice a day.

Benefits (listed on the site)


Skin Health and Anti-Aging


Red light therapy (RLT) is well-documented for improving skin health by stimulating collagen production, reducing wrinkles, and enhancing skin elasticity. It promotes cell regeneration and repair, which leads to a more youthful appearance.

Wound Healing and Tissue Repair


 RLT accelerates the healing process of wounds and injuries by promoting increased blood flow and cellular activity at the site of injury. It enhances the formation of new blood vessels and tissues, facilitating faster recovery.

Pain and Inflammation Reduction


RLT has been shown to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, particularly in conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and muscle injuries. It works by reducing oxidative stress and promoting cellular repair.

Hair Growth and Hair Loss Prevention


RLT can stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth, making it a popular treatment for androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). It increases blood flow to the scalp and enhances cellular metabolism in hair follicles.

Muscle Recovery and Performance


Athletes use RLT to enhance muscle recovery and improve performance. It reduces muscle soreness, accelerates recovery after intense exercise, and increases endurance by boosting cellular energy production.

Joint Health and Arthritis Relief


RLT can reduce symptoms of arthritis, including joint pain and stiffness. It promotes cartilage repair and reduces inflammation in the joints, improving mobility and comfort.

Mood and Depression Improvement


RLT may have positive effects on mood disorders and depression by influencing the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin. It can also help with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Sleep Improvement


RLT can help regulate the sleep-wake cycle by influencing melatonin production. It has been shown to improve sleep quality and duration, helping individuals achieve better rest.

Cognitive Function and Neuroprotection


There is emerging evidence that RLT may support cognitive function and provide neuroprotective effects, potentially benefiting conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

Acne Reduction


RLT can help reduce acne by decreasing inflammation and bacteria levels on the skin. It promotes skin healing and reduces the appearance of acne scars.

Dental Health


RLT can promote oral health by reducing inflammation, pain, and healing times in dental procedures. It may also support the treatment of periodontal disease.

Weight Loss and Metabolism


There is some evidence that RLT can aid in weight loss by increasing cellular metabolism and reducing adipose tissue. It may enhance fat cell reduction and improve body composition.

Hormonal Balance


RLT might influence hormonal balance by affecting the endocrine system. It could help with issues like thyroid function and hormone regulation.

Immune System Support


RLT may boost the immune system by enhancing cellular function and promoting the activity of immune cells. It could help in faster recovery from illnesses and infections.

Eye Health


RLT may benefit eye health by reducing inflammation and promoting cellular repair in the retina. It has potential in treating conditions like age-related macular degeneration.

I've been using blue light blocking glasses for a couple of years and I like how they take the edge off of the computer screen and flat screen tv, much easier on my eyes. I have to put my larger blue blocking wraparound glasses over my smaller reading glasses for the computer which is rather cumbersome. I'm looking for reading glasses that block blue light, just the kind of reading glasses one buys in a drug store. I could buy those clip-on ones, though: https://www.blockbluelight.com/products/sundown-clip-on-blue-blocking-glasses

Is it true that … the blue light from night-time scrolling can stop you sleeping?


We often blame our phone’s glare for finding it difficult to fall asleep. But our expert thinks things are more complicated

Struggling to nod off? It’s easy to blame the phone that’s just inches from your face and the never-ending newsfeed your thumb is busy scrolling as you lie in bed. But the idea that it’s the blue light emitted by your smartphone that’s disturbing you isn’t quite right.

While blue or short-wavelength light (such as daylight or that emitted by tech) does affect our circadian rhythm, things are less clear cut than we often think.

“Sleep is a complex process,” says Stuart Peirson, professor of circadian neuroscience at Oxford University.

He explains that while the receptors in our eyes that tell our brain when it’s time to be awake are triggered by cells that absorb blue light, they’re also triggered by those that absorb longer wavelengths of light (such as red) too. Which means it’s not the colour of the glow that’s the problem, it’s the brightness and length of time we’re exposed to it for – and the screens of our phones are actually pretty dim.

Daylight is 1,000 times brighter than the average light emitted by a phone. Room lighting is, on average, 10 times brighter. (This is why turning off the big light as you wind down in the evening can help you feel sleepier.)

“Technically, blue light from smartphones can affect sleep,” says Peirson. “But these effects are small unless you are using your phone for hours with a bright screen and already have sleep problems.” In lab studies at Harvard University, even around four hours of light exposure from an e-reader at full strength had only a relatively small effect: a 10-minute delay in sleep onset. In fact, your sleep is more likely to be affected by the kinds of content you’re consuming.

If you think light is impacting your sleep, Peirson says you don’t need to spend money on special “blue-light blocking” glasses. Instead, he recommends decreasing your screen time and turning down the brightness on your phone.

“But these effects are small unless you are using your phone for hours with a bright screen and already have sleep problems.”



Thanks for the article, leavesoftrees. https://i.imgur.com/hDzamRz.gif Some of it matches up with points discussed but the effects are greater in scope. Not to mention how negative effects add up over time. The good news is articles like this brings attention to the topic.

What comes to mind when I read it is perhaps the glasses are less effective because of quality control; how only 10-20% of the blue light is filtered out. I agree that wearing glasses is not the end all be all answer. Spend less time on the devices, TV and such because the artificial blue light destroys dopamine. Spend more time soaking in the sun. That’ll balance out the wake-sleep cycle, improve areas like focus and memory and mood. And it’s good common sense to review our exercise routines, diet, social interactions and life stressors.

https://i.imgur.com/iAECADL.gif I’m not promoting diet changes. Dr. Jack talks about the hormone called leptin. The article helped me understand more about how leptin: 1) regulates appetite 2) maintains healthy weight. I pulled out three aha! points.

Key Points:


Leptin travels through your blood, via your circulatory system, to the appetite center of your brain. There, it binds to receptors that are responsible for making you feel hungry. This helps tamp down your appetite, curbing your desire to eat. Leptin also travels through your nervous system, stimulating fatty tissue to burn off fat and calories.
.....
Cortisol, a hormone that’s released when you’re under stress , may make your brain less receptive to leptin and cause you to overeat.
.....
Dieting may have an adverse effect on leptin production, causing leptin levels to drop. When leptin levels drop, your brain believes you’re in danger of starvation, causing your body to hold onto fat stores and reducing your ability to burn calories through exercise.

Everything You Need to Know About the Leptin Diet

Research
Benefits
Risks
5 rules
The takeaway

What is the leptin diet?

The leptin diet was designed by Byron J. Richards, a businessman and board-certified clinical nutritionist. Richards’ company, Wellness Resources, manufactures herbal supplements designed to support the leptin diet. He’s also written several books about leptin and its role in weight loss and health.

Leptin was first discovered in 1994. It’s a hormone produced in the fat stores of your body. Its job is to signal your brain when you’re full, triggering you to stop eating. Leptin also supports efficient metabolism. Its role in weight loss, weight gain, and obesity has been studied in animals and humans.

Leptin travels through your blood, via your circulatory system, to the appetite center of your brain. There, it binds to receptors that are responsible for making you feel hungry. This helps tamp down your appetite, curbing your desire to eat. Leptin also travels through your nervous system, stimulating fatty tissue to burn off fat and calories.

If too much leptin builds up in your blood, you may develop leptin resistance. When this occurs, the leptin in your body may not do its job effectively, resulting in weight gain. The exact cause of leptin resistance is unknown, but obesity and stress may play a role. Cortisol, a hormone that’s released when you’re under stress , may make your brain less receptive to leptin and cause you to overeat.

What does the research say about leptin?

Since its discovery, leptin has been the focus of multiple animal and human studies. Researchers have analyzed its effect on weight gain, obesity, and appetite. As reported in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, some studies in mice suggest that dieting may have an adverse effect on leptin production, causing leptin levels to drop. When leptin levels drop, your brain believes you’re in danger of starvation, causing your body to hold onto fat stores and reducing your ability to burn calories through exercise.

Another animal study, led by investigators at the University of Cincinnati Metabolic Diseases Institute, determined that leptin levels don’t affect or cause obesity in mice.

There’s no credible research to suggest that taking leptin in supplement form helps to alter leptin levels.

What are the potential benefits of the leptin diet?

Many of the principles of the leptin diet are the same, or similar, to those of other weight management programs. It advises avoiding eating late at night, avoiding eating additives such as those found in soda, and avoiding eating too many carbohydrates. The leptin diet also emphasizes the need for portion control. These recommendations represent sound nutritional advice.

The leptin diet is also accompanied by easy-to-maintain exercise guidelines, which don’t require you to work out endlessly in order to lose weight. When combined with portion control and nutritious food choices, regular exercise may help you lose weight.

What are the potential risks of the leptin diet?

Like many diets, the leptin diet imposes restrictions on what you can eat. You may find it hard to stick with the diet or you may feel unsatisfied with your food choices.

As with any diet plan, it’s best to check with your doctor before starting the leptin diet. It may not provide enough calories if you’re extremely active. It may not be suitable for children or young teens who have different caloric requirements than adults.
How to follow the leptin diet

The leptin diet centers around five rules:

Eat foods that supply 20 to 30 grams of protein for breakfast.
Don’t eat after dinner. Make sure not to eat anything for at least three hours prior to bedtime.
Eat three meals a day only, with no snacking in between. Allow for five to six hours to pass between each meal.
Reduce your carbohydrate intake, but don’t eliminate carbs completely.
Practice portion control at each meal. Don’t eat until you are stuffed. Stop before you feel completely full.


To follow this diet, you should learn about the caloric content in the foods you eat, but you won’t need to count calories obsessively. The diet also places a strong emphasis on eating fresh, organic foods and avoiding chemical additives and ingredients you can’t pronounce.

The need for protein and fiber is also stressed. It’s recommended that each meal contain around 400 to 600 calories, in the following general ratio:

40 percent protein
30 percent fat
30 percent carbohydrates


The leptin diet allows you to eat a wide range of vegetables, fruits, and protein sources, including fish, meat, chicken, and turkey. Fruit, rather than sugar-dense desserts, is the suggested dessert option. You can also eat nut butters in moderation, eggs, and cottage cheese.

Protein-dense grains and legumes, such as quinoa, oatmeal, and lentils, are also good choices. A lower carbohydrate intake may lead to gut bacteria changes and/or constipation, so choose high fiber foods as often as possible.

When you’re on the leptin diet, you’re supposed to avoid artificial sweeteners, regular and diet soda, and energy drinks. You’re also encouraged to eliminate soy products of any kind.

Because of its emphasis on smaller portions and no snacking, some people feel hungry on this diet. Drinking lots of water, or taking fiber supplements, may help.

The leptin diet requires you to control when you eat, as well as what you eat. Creating a routine that distracts you between meals, and includes moderate exercise, may help you to stick with the diet and successfully lose weight.

The takeaway

The leptin diet allows adherents to eat a variety of healthy food choices. But if you feel persistently hungry, it may be hard for you to stick with the diet. Not being able to eat when you are hungry contradicts mindful eating and listening to your body’s cues. Also, any diet plan that requires or heavily promotes supplementation is a red flag.

If you feel drawn to the leptin diet, it may yield the results you’re hoping for, but ask yourself if it is something you can stick with long-term. Long-term health is dependent on long-term healthy behaviors. No diet is one-size-fits all. If you don’t enjoy the leptin diet, there are other weight loss strategies that you can try. Ask your doctor about different approaches to weight loss, including the benefits and risks of different diets.

So this is pretty amazing!

Got my daytime blue blocking glasses today, and literally the moment I put them on and viewed my computer screen, all the strain left my eyes. It's like my eyes let out a big sigh of relief.

I'd become so used to the strain that I almost didn't even know it was there anymore until I put these new glasses on.

Highly recommended. I think I'll get the nighttime glasses too.

Street Lights -- LED vs (traditional) High/Low Pressure Sodium Vapor Lamps

Photos from space affirm that streetlights are emitting more blue spectra

"A group of environmental scientists from England have gathered photos of Earth taken from the International Space Station over the last decade showing a broad trend across Europe of nighttime artificial lighting veering much more toward the blue spectra than previously.

"Writing in the journal Science Advances, they warn that the shift 'is widely increasing the risk of harmful effects to ecosystems'.”

"The observation of more pronounced blue spectra does not in itself come as a surprise, given that many outdoor LED luminaires tend to emit more blue-rich wavelengths than the lights they have been replacing such as low-pressure sodium and others." https://www.ledsmagazine.com/lighting-health-wellbeing/article/14283313/photos-from-space-affirm-that-streetlights-are-emitting-more-blue-spectra

I don’t recall Dr. Jack passing along how he gets around the wifi issue in his personal life but he talks a lot about how the impact on human health and the environmental problems, as well as the major diseases of industrialized civilization―heart disease, diabetes, and cancer―are related to electrical pollution. He encourages everyone to check out: "The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life," (https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Rainbow-History-Electricity-Life/dp/1645020096/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3OO61RSQ6JDC5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9._ldzCJtcL0Rn7wpkHsfEFjh_KSlwEJRy_jP7uLQDqD0.Wkq1cIOIA9a98U6eKvZgD6Nq9OreAPtl0dJwRXJ 0J30&dib_tag=se&keywords=The+Invisible+Rainbow:+A+History+of+Electricity+and+Life&qid=1731020255&sprefix=the+invisible+rainbow+a+history+of+electricity+and+life,aps,95&sr=8-1)by Arthur Firstenberg, March 9, 2020

Dr. Jack says that he respects Winn Huff but doesn’t agree with his method and there was another guy he rather follow. IIRC he was less extreme. Doing a general search, I recall this as being part of his answer about cold therapy:



CT should never induce hypothermia as the protocol is written. It is designed to only use the surface cold receptors at 50-55 degrees and does not utilize the deep cold receptors. This is why the protocol is safe. If one chooses to embark on Deep CT all bets are off and you need a spotter and a doctor to help you implement it. That is just not a safe choice for a beginner.

Check the topics in the video summary below. It may help you find your answer. I gave up hunting for the video where Dr. Jack talks about Winn Huff. There’s also a full transcript (https://fatburningman.com/dr-jack-kruse-circadian-biology-melanin-how-to-heal-your-mitochondria/).


https://i.imgur.com/iAECADL.gif While I'm here, Mike, I think you’d appreciate this snippet from the video:


“If you’re working out under blue light, you are absolutely doing exercise wrong.”




Abel: So just to connect the dots a little bit, being lower latitude allows people to intentionally or not spend a lot more time working out outside and getting exposure to the sun. Whereas people who are up north are kind of trapped inside, even if they’re still pumping iron and doing sprints or what have you, they’re not getting that fuel.

Dr. Jack Kruse: Yeah, I don’t want anybody to work out indoors. Like if you’re working out under blue light, you are absolutely doing exercise wrong. Which is part of the reason why I’ve been a huge fan of Erwan Le Corre (https://fatburningman.com/erwan-le-corre-natural-movement-adaptability-fitness-as-a-survival-skill/) from the get-go.

Abel: Yeah, me too.

Dr. Jack Kruse: This guy is the one guy that’s got an exercise right from day one. So I want people to not exercise under blue light because what does blue light do? It makes you hypoxic. It’s crazy to exercise in a gym this way. But the other big issue is that I want people to understand, what does technology do? Technology brings us inside too, and that’s a big problem with technology. So I think the amount of outdoor time that we all get is not as good as it should be. And I think that we need to advocate for that far more than we probably do.



Dr. Jack Kruse: Circadian Biology, Melanin & How To Heal Your Mitochondria




full transcript (https://fatburningman.com/dr-jack-kruse-circadian-biology-melanin-how-to-heal-your-mitochondria/)
November, 2023

How is it possible to shed over 100 pounds and keep it off without exercise?

How can we counteract the damaging effects of artificial blue light and non-native EMF to heal at the cellular level?

Why are professional athletes suddenly falling apart in their prime, and what can we do about it?

To answer these questions and more, I'm honored to welcome back to the show, our friend Dr. Jack Kruse, a respected neurosurgeon, CEO of the Kruse Longevity Center, author, self-described mitochondriac, and inventor looking at the quantum level to explain how nature works in biology. Dr. Kruse is board-certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery and has completed more than 10,000 surgeries in his career.

For the edification of those who don't know him. Dr. Jack Kruse is an incredible, brilliant human being. He's been known to write blog posts buck naked outside in below-freezing temperatures, pack himself on ice for hours and get banned from TED talks.

Back in 2008, Dr. Kruse began experimenting on himself with various protocols including leptin and cold thermogenesis, and as a result shed an astounding 133+ pounds without focusing on exercise.

Dr. Kruse is a fearless seeker ready to blow the top off the centralized paradigm to uncover the whole truth, and he holds no punches in today's interview, as usual.

In this interview with Dr. Jack Kruse, we're chatting about:





• The truth about how humans can optimize function within the laws of nature (hint: light, water and magnetism)
• How to break free from the centralized paradigm in medicine and its centralized profiteers
• A quick history of medical tyranny in the United States
• How to use UV light and cold temperatures to access the superhuman pathway
• How to harness the power of the sun and melanin to fuel your mitochondria
• How to counteract the damaging effects of non-native EMFs
• Why using Bluetooth headphones is like microwaving your brain
• Why we should rewild and get outdoors while exercising 
• And tons more…

It is getting darker earlier now in the Uk and I find myself getting really annoyed about the lights blinding me from cars on the opposite sideof the road.
So many cars seem to have these much brighter head lights now.

Has anybody thought of a solution to this? Like night time driving blue block glasses or a filter that can be attached to the wind screen?

I tend to drive on country roads where there are no street lights. It makes the headlights seem even brighter. I've been known to pull over when there's a vehicle behind me. I glance slightly down and to the right (US) when there's oncoming traffic. (Like it's suggested below.)

It's not a good idea to wear the night time blue block glasses while driving. They are designed to signal the body that it's time for sleep. A suggestion from a search is to use "anti-glare glasses".

From the internet:



To make driving at night easier with oncoming headlights, avoid looking directly at them by glancing slightly down and to the right, focusing on the white lane line, and adjusting your rearview mirror to the "night" setting to reduce glare; additionally, keep your windshield clean, consider anti-glare glasses, and maintain a safe following distance to give yourself more time to react.

What are Driving Glasses?




Driving glasses are advanced eyewear designed to enhance your driving experience. They feature specialized lenses that reduce glare from headlights and other reflective surfaces, ensuring clearer vision, especially during nighttime driving.
Additionally, driving glasses shield your eyes from harmful UV rays and offer a broad visual perspective, providing optimal comfort and safety on the road.

Benefits of Driving Glasses



Enhanced Visibility: 
Driving glasses significantly improve visibility by reducing glare from headlights and other reflective surfaces, ensuring clearer vision during nighttime driving and adverse weather conditions.




UV Protection: 
These glasses shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, minimizing the risk of eye damage and fatigue during prolonged exposure to sunlight.




Reduced Glare:
 Driving glasses minimize glare from various sources, including headlights and reflective surfaces, ensuring a safer and more comfortable driving experience.




Comfortable Driving: 
Driving glasses are designed for comfort, with lightweight frames and anti-fatigue coatings that reduce eye strain during extended periods of driving.




Versatility
: Driving glasses can be worn over prescription glasses, providing clear vision without obstructing the peripheral view, making them suitable for drivers with astigmatism or other vision impairments.




Safety Assurance: 
By reducing glare and enhancing visibility, driving glasses contribute to safer driving experiences, reducing the risk of accidents caused by impaired vision.




Long-Term Eye Health: 
Regular use of driving glasses can contribute to long-term eye health by protecting against UV radiation and reducing eye strain, promoting overall eye well-being.

Things to Consider When Choosing Driving Glasses



Lens Quality:
 The quality of lenses is essential when selecting driving glasses. Look for lenses with anti-glare coatings to minimize distractions from headlights and reflective surfaces, ensuring clearer vision during nighttime driving.



UV Protection: 
Ensure the driving glasses offer adequate UV protection to shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. Look for glasses with UV-blocking capabilities to safeguard your vision and prevent long-term eye damage.



Comfort and Fit: 
Consider lightweight frames and adjustable nose pads to make wearing the glasses comfortable for longer journeys. We recommend frames that are designed to seamlessly fit over your prescription glasses, making sure your vision is as sharp as it can be. This will reduce any distractions and fatigue.


What to Avoid When Choosing Driving Glasses



Ignoring Proper UV Protection:
 Ensure that the driving glasses you choose offer adequate UV protection. Prolonged exposure to sunlight while driving can lead to eye damage and discomfort without proper protection.



Ignoring Compatibility with Prescription Glasses:
 If you wear prescription glasses, make sure the driving glasses you select are compatible. Choosing glasses that fit comfortably over prescription lenses is essential for optimal vision correction while driving.

Perfect, and thanks!:heart2: And thanks Clearwater too for the links.

I'm still unclear as to why nighttime glasses might be needed. I understand that they block out all the good/stimulating light that would keep me awake. But if all that good/stimulating light is coming from the sun, what am I protecting myself from at night when the sun goes down? I guess I'm wondering why I just can't wear the daytime glasses at night.

What am I missing?:)

Night glasses signals the brain it’s time for sleep mode.
The absence of light at night supports metabolism and overall health.




The day glasses protect your eyes from the toxic, artificial blue light from tech. For the body to make melatonin, you block out the blue and green frequencies three hours before bedtime with the night glasses. Night glasses signals the brain it’s time for sleep mode. It's those light frequencies that tell the brain to continue to make cortisol which kicks off the steroid hormone pathway.

Melatonin is a hormone that your brain produces in response to darkness. It helps with sleep and the timing of your circadian rhythms, i.e. your 24-hour internal clock. Being exposed to light at night can block melatonin production.

It’s the absence of light that assists the pineal melatonin to do what it needs to do to start being secreted for an optimal sleep environment. The absence of light at night supports metabolism and overall health.



https://i.imgur.com/EkQUDnr.gif


Can I use daytime glasses at night-time as well?


Daytime glasses will not be effective for use at night-time and will not provide any benefits for sleep. To be effective and help with sleep, night-time blue blocking glasses MUST block 100% of blue light, or even better would be 100% of blue and green light up to 550nm. This is because any amount of blue light at night is a signal to the brain that it's daytime and the sun is up. Daytime glasses don’t block all blue light, they are only designed to filter it down to more natural daytime levels.

If you’re wanting to allow yourself to truly wind down and relax in the evening and then get deep and restful sleep, a pair of night-time blue blocking glasses is essential.

Got it, thanks. I wasn't aware that all these devices and bulbs were throwing off artificial green light as well.

I understand that the daytime glasses won't assist in helping me sleep, but they're still going to protect me from most of the artificial blue light coming from my devices whether it's noon or 2 o'clock in the morning, right? Or wrong?

My conflict is, I write at night. So I'd like some protection from the harmful blue light but i don't want to feel sleepy obviously..so the nighttime glasses would be counterintuitive for me.

I’m liking how it’s one more way to undo what’s being done to humanity. And it’s a free! And it’s available even on cloudy or rainy or whatever days. The natural spectrum of light still pumps out the healing effects. We only need to work with the cycles of day and night for optimal effects.

https://i.imgur.com/oS1xj7j.gif

A bit of an update...

I catch myself nodding off before 9:00 pm. I enjoy bedtime because I know I’ll drop right off to sleep. (I put on the night glasses three hours before sleep.) There’s still the bathroom trip, but I go right back to sleep. Whereas I use to toss and turn or finally get up for a couple of hours. So now? No more broken sleep, though I’m still adjusting to how long eight hours of sleep takes.

I keep my appointment with sunrise and sunset by an open window. For newcomers to the thread, the open window is important because not all the rays go through the glass. There’s an imbalance particularly with the blue rays which creates a toxic environment. The goal is natural, full spectrum light to filter into the eyes. You don’t need to look directly into the sun. Remove eye contacts or prescription glasses.



Natural light in particular, which comes from the rays of the sun, has been reported to be essential to eye health, as long as overexposure to it is avoided. Sunshine helps the body produce Vitamin D, which plays an important role in slowing down the aging process and improving your vision.

Natural light also signals the brain to produce serotonin which is then converted into melatonin (sleep hormone) at night in the absence of blue light. If you don't get enough sunlight each day, your serotonin levels won’t reach optimal levels which in turn results in diminished levels of melatonin at night. So, I have another reason to get out and walk and take in the fresh air. Two reasons are twice as helpful on those days when I’d rather plop in front of the computer. Balancing out the day/night rhythm are slowly creating changes elsewhere. For instance upgrading and tweaking health patterns, food choices, and build in more quiet time.

It's the best solution for day and night computer work. I wear mine while I'm on the computer and then switch to night glasses three hours before bed. Scroll down to the very bottom for the Lens Comparison Summary (https://www.blockbluelight.com/pages/blue-light-lens-colour-guide).

“Dr. Kruse looks at the body from a quantum perspective, revolutionized me as a nutritionist, a reformed nutritionist. I don't even touch nutrition anymore. A lot of you know that that's not really where I go and the concepts that Dr. Kruse highlights are light, water and magnetism. But the one that really spoke the most to me was the water. The water and its interaction with all of the electromagnetic fields that it can come into contact with and it can resonate with the water.” ~ Carrie Bennett

Stress, Mood, Intention, and Your Mitochondria (7:30 min)





It's one thing to say, “Please do some stress reduction techniques,” to clients and another thing to provide some interesting information about how stressed that they can control really truly can impact the help of their mitochondria, and even increase things like the antioxidant glutathione in the body.

So what am I referring to here? There's a researcher named Dr. Martin Picard who has studied extensively the effect of psychological stress on mitochondrial efficiency and mitochondrial energy production. He created things like the mitochondria health index and even came up with the term ‘Mitochondrial allostatic load” (MAL) to talk about the threshold with mitochondria stop becoming really efficient energy producers and start to get negatively impacted by psychological stress.

A very interesting study that he did actually showed that when someone went to bed either angry or in fear or in frustration or woke up angry, in fear or frustration the ability of their mitochondria to generate adequate energy for their cells decreased by 12 to 15 up to 20%. The psychological state at which you go to bed can either help or impair your mitochondria ability to make that important energy for you.

https://i.imgur.com/iAECADL.gif I hadn’t planned on adding my slightly paraphrased notes, on the effect of red light on metabolic health & mitochondria, but I figured some may be interested in a few take aways.






Why red light in the morning is extremely beneficial VS not much happens with red light therapy 5:00 pm (late afternoon). In the morning you're in a very, very different metabolic state. Your hormones are different. Your blood sugars, mitochondria and ATP are peaking.



Bob Fosbury showed a very specific absorb conservation of mitochondrial function. If you put blue light on flies, bees, mice and humans you get very, very similar results. For example, flies slow down. They don't move as much. Their blood sugars go up because their mitochondria aren't working very well.

Now blue and red light are not symmetric because the mechanisms are very different. There’s fast ones and a little bit slower ones. But but they are symmetric in what they're doing to overall metabolism. So if you give mice blue light, not vast amounts of it, within two weeks, they become statistically significantly fatter, and they carry on getting fatter until they're like balloons. Why? Because they're not taking glucose out of their blood, they’re getting fat. And they end up having diabetes because livers always trying to buffer it (hard to test glucose in mice, but it’s an educated guess) but certainly their blood glucose levels are highly unstable.

That also shows that these animals become nervous. So they put them in an open field environment they will generally wander around. But when they become nervous, the always stick to the walls. They never go anywhere else. So blue light also makes people nervous, uncomfortable and have systemic inflammation. So these mice are also showing signs of systemic inflammation, and it's trickling all the way down to their behavior.



There was a mouse study that mimic shift work and two groups of the same diet, but one was on this blue and red shift work mimicking schedule. And they got visceral and subcutaneous fat depositions. The fat became fibroid, inflamed, and they became insulin resistant. So again showing how harmful the blue light is on metabolism.



Glen Jeffery Question - Red starvation and blue saturation. Could this be the reason why since 2000 the number is going down for people living longer? Before then the numbers were increasing every year.

[meat suit]

It is getting darker earlier now in the Uk and I find myself getting really annoyed about the lights blinding me from cars on the opposite sideof the road.
So many cars seem to have these much brighter head lights now.

Has anybody thought of a solution to this? Like night time driving blue block glasses or a filter that can be attached to the wind screen?

I notice that too, meat suit. https://i.imgur.com/IovSdNZ.gif

I tend to drive on country roads where there are no street lights. It makes the headlights seem even brighter. I've been known to pull over when there's a vehicle behind me. I glance slightly down and to the right (US) when there's oncoming traffic. (Like it's suggested below.)

It's not a good idea to wear the night time blue block glasses while driving. They are designed to signal the body that it's time for sleep. A suggestion from a search is to use "anti-glare glasses".

From the internet:



To make driving at night easier with oncoming headlights, avoid looking directly at them by glancing slightly down and to the right, focusing on the white lane line, and adjusting your rearview mirror to the "night" setting to reduce glare; additionally, keep your windshield clean, consider anti-glare glasses, and maintain a safe following distance to give yourself more time to react.

What are Driving Glasses?




Driving glasses are advanced eyewear designed to enhance your driving experience. They feature specialized lenses that reduce glare from headlights and other reflective surfaces, ensuring clearer vision, especially during nighttime driving.
Additionally, driving glasses shield your eyes from harmful UV rays and offer a broad visual perspective, providing optimal comfort and safety on the road.

Benefits of Driving Glasses



Enhanced Visibility: 
Driving glasses significantly improve visibility by reducing glare from headlights and other reflective surfaces, ensuring clearer vision during nighttime driving and adverse weather conditions.




UV Protection: 
These glasses shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, minimizing the risk of eye damage and fatigue during prolonged exposure to sunlight.




Reduced Glare:
 Driving glasses minimize glare from various sources, including headlights and reflective surfaces, ensuring a safer and more comfortable driving experience.




Comfortable Driving: 
Driving glasses are designed for comfort, with lightweight frames and anti-fatigue coatings that reduce eye strain during extended periods of driving.




Versatility
: Driving glasses can be worn over prescription glasses, providing clear vision without obstructing the peripheral view, making them suitable for drivers with astigmatism or other vision impairments.




Safety Assurance: 
By reducing glare and enhancing visibility, driving glasses contribute to safer driving experiences, reducing the risk of accidents caused by impaired vision.




Long-Term Eye Health: 
Regular use of driving glasses can contribute to long-term eye health by protecting against UV radiation and reducing eye strain, promoting overall eye well-being.

Things to Consider When Choosing Driving Glasses



Lens Quality:
 The quality of lenses is essential when selecting driving glasses. Look for lenses with anti-glare coatings to minimize distractions from headlights and reflective surfaces, ensuring clearer vision during nighttime driving.



UV Protection: 
Ensure the driving glasses offer adequate UV protection to shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. Look for glasses with UV-blocking capabilities to safeguard your vision and prevent long-term eye damage.



Comfort and Fit: 
Consider lightweight frames and adjustable nose pads to make wearing the glasses comfortable for longer journeys. We recommend frames that are designed to seamlessly fit over your prescription glasses, making sure your vision is as sharp as it can be. This will reduce any distractions and fatigue.


What to Avoid When Choosing Driving Glasses



Ignoring Proper UV Protection:
 Ensure that the driving glasses you choose offer adequate UV protection. Prolonged exposure to sunlight while driving can lead to eye damage and discomfort without proper protection.



Ignoring Compatibility with Prescription Glasses:
 If you wear prescription glasses, make sure the driving glasses you select are compatible. Choosing glasses that fit comfortably over prescription lenses is essential for optimal vision correction while driving.

Thank you Running Deer🥰

I have bought some cheap night driving glasses on ebay (£6.99) and they turned up the other day.

Absolute game changer!!!
It makes all the headlights look like the yellow flavour from years ago, takes the glare off the rear red lights in front and dimms the nasty street lights.
As a result its easier to see the road markings, and it dims down the nasty lights in the mirrors too.

Highly recommended!!!

DNA Expert Warns of Mysterious New 'Turbo Cancer' Outbreak | Kevin McKernan


As you can see from the outline below, there's a variety of topics discussed. I added it here because Dr. Jack Kruse came up @1:43:52.

Susan Wojcicki (died August, 2024) was a CEO of YouTube. She died of a rapid onset cancer. We suspect she was heavily vaccinated because she was very pro vaccine. Sadly, I think one of her children may have died as well during the pandemic.
(February 13, 2024, Wojcicki's son, Marco Troper, a 19-year-old student at the University of California, Berkeley, died of acute combined drug toxicity.)

Staying inside. Not getting sunlight. There all the things that Jack Kruse talks about.

I've expanded my research on the circadian rhythm, blue light research, importance of quality sleep and diet changes. I'm coming across a lot of people wearing the glasses on their show and reference Jack Kruse.

Dr. Glen Jeffery (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Dr.+Glen+Jeffery) is another one promoting red light therapy, the importance of sunlight and how it improves mitochondrial function and quality life span.

A few paraphrased snippet from Dr. Glen Jeffery's videos:


Go for a walk every day for an hour. There’ a loads of metrics happening: using muscles, getting red light helping our mitochondria, burning our blood glucose. That massive blood glucose won't peak in the same way because you're burning that energy in your muscles. From: “Power Up Your Mitochondria With Red Light Therapy | Dr Glen Jeffery Interview”



The body is actually saying to wake up, get out into sunlight, move your ATP to match the changes that are happening in your blood glucose and the hormonal changes that you go through during the first few hours of daylight. From: “Power Up Your Mitochondria With Red Light Therapy | Dr Glen Jeffery Interview”


Why red light in the morning is extremely beneficial vs not much happens with red light therapy 5:00 pm. In the morning you're in a very, very different metabolic state. Your hormones are different. Your blood sugars, mitochondria and ATP are peaking. From: “Amazing Effect of Red Light on Metabolic Health & Mitochondria | Glen Jeffery, PhD”



Is blue light all bad? It deactivates mitochondria, makes you fat. LED lighting is very strong in blue and no red in it at all. And when you're sitting in a place that's very hot, nearly all your windows are red blocking and you're getting lots of blue light, i.e., you're getting no red light, no long wavelength light in through the windows.

If we take a look at the astronauts on the international space station they've got harsh LEDs. All of their windows face the Earth and not the sun. They're up there for months and many of them are becoming pre-diabetic. From: “Power Up Your Mitochondria With Red Light Therapy | Dr Glen Jeffery Interview”



Folks treated with burst of red-light for 3 minutes several times a week will walk down the road better than those without. From: “Power Up Your Mitochondria With Red Light Therapy | Dr Glen Jeffery Interview”



Bees are affected by insecticides and destroying their mitochondria. We gave red light to bees as well as giving them pesticide. The key point is the total lifespan of the animal did not increase. What did happen was the average life expectancy increase very significantly. Those that got bursts of red light had a better health span. We asked them to climb up walls and could do that far more efficiently because muscles have got a lot of mitochondria. So no overall extension in absolute lifespan, but a very significant extension in average life. From: “Power Up Your Mitochondria With Red Light Therapy | Dr Glen Jeffery Interview”



She took a whole group of mice and expose them to blue light every day. Blue light slows down your mitochondria and influences your metabolism. (450) There are loads of 450 in our environment. The control group stay relatively stable whereas the mice exposed to blue light, their metabolism slowed down and their mitochondria slowed down. The mitochondria are not drawing sugars out of their blood, so the sugars are running around in the body and says "take me to storage". Let's save this (sugars) for a rainy day. Consequences? They put on a very large amount of weight 9 days. These animals are three times heavier. They look absolutely awful. It's the mixture between blue and red in an environment. The mitochondria are in an equilibrium when there’s a correct balance of blue and red. From: “Glen Jeffery explains the Science behind Mitochondrial Infra-Red (MIR)”

It’s a challenge to know which companies offer quality blue block glasses. I’ll add two reposts for new people to the thread.


Not all Blue Light Blocking Glasses Are Created Equal,
Which Blue Light Glasses Are The Best?



The Truth About Clear Lens Blue Light “Blockers”

Here’s the truth about clear lens blue light blocking glasses that help you fall asleep—there is no such thing! Clear lenses do not block the kind of light that keeps you from falling asleep. These should not be called blue blocking glasses at all as they only filter blue light, not block it. To truly block blue light it requires colored lenses to fully block its light waves. Clear lens blue light "blockers" have nothing to do with keeping insomnia inducing blue light from reaching your eyes, no matter what the companies say. It’s about science, and the science of light waves prevents clear lenses from blocking all blue light that interferes with melatonin release. Period. 

What these clear lens blue light “blockers” do is filter the blue light, mainly to prevent eyestrain. Their lenses do not filter out the blue light that prevents you from falling asleep. To filter out that wavelength of blue light, the lenses would have to be colored lenses, preferably amber or red. The true name for these type of daytime glasses is computer glasses or blue light filter glasses.

Some companies go to great lengths to try to prove that their clear glasses block blue light by using light demonstrations from a pen or screen. The light source in these demonstrations only emits a different wavelength of light, usually violet. This light is not the same light present in most artificial lighting and LEDs. These companies are deliberately misleading the public and misusing science. Do your homework when purchasing blue light blockers.


Cheap and Ineffective Blue Light Filter Glasses

Our BlockBlueLight ScreenTime computer glasses filter 50% of blue light across the entire blue light spectrum, making them far superior to less expensive glasses. Due to the rise in popularity for blocking blue light there are now many companies in the market offering inexpensive clear lens blue light glasses. However these glasses are useless and a waste of money. Most of these cheap glasses only filter 10-20% of blue light and do not help to manage sleep or protect eyesight in any significant way.

During the day its important for us to significantly reduce our blue light exposure, but not block it completely. As mentioned earlier moderate levels blue light during the day is important for health and keeping us awake and alert, however the levels we are consuming is far to high and completely unbalanced with the rest of the colour spectrum. We need to filter blue light across the entire spectrum by about 50% to bring this more into balance, this is the most effective amount to filter by during the day; filtering anymore will leave you feeling tired and unmotivated and start to tell your brain its nighttime,  and filtering any less will give you headaches, eye strain and leave you feeling anxious. 

Optometrists may even offer blue light "blocking " coating on prescription lenses. Unfortunately, the extra cost for this coating is unwarranted and ineffective. Most optometrists may offer the coating, but don’t know any specifics about what range and percentage of blue light the layer might block. The fact is, the coatings do not block blue light from the entire blue light spectrum or the part of the spectrum the matters the most.

Many blue light filter glasses claim to block a large percentage of blue light. However, the range of blue light they filter matters greatly. For example, most electronic devices emit light at their most potent wavelengths of about 440-460 nanometers. A majority of cheaper clear blue light blocking glasses and coatings only filter blue light in the 380-420 nanometer range. This limitation in range means light from electronic devices (at 440-460 nanometers) are allowed to pass through, making the glasses useless.


https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1014/4865/files/Graphic-1_grande.jpg?v=1582579322

All blue light, which includes sunlight, LEDs, and other electronic devices, are within the wide range of 400 to 500 nanometers. For blue light filtering glasses to be truly useful, they must filter blue light over the entire blue light range. BlockBlueLight lenses from our daytime range filter blue light over the whole 400 to 500 nanometer blue light spectrum. More specifically they filter 50% of blue light at 455 nanometers, this is where the most energetic, damaging light emitted from screens, LED’s, and other modern artificial lighting. The majority of other blue light filter glasses available will filter 0% at 455nm.

One other shaved down post (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?123684-Dr.-Jack-Kruse-Blue-blocking-glasses-and-much-much-else&p=1640575&viewfull=1#post1640575):

I mentioned earlier how I wasted money on a pair of cheapo blue block glasses from Amazon, which included a blue block test kit to prove they block the blue light. It wasn’t until my new glasses arrived that I discovered how true this statement is: “You get what you pay for. I had the new 100% blue blocking glasses (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/blue-blocking-glasses-night-time) on and couldn’t see the time on the digital clock because the numbers were blue.

These are some photos I took this evening to demonstrate the difference:

Compare my DayMax glasses on the left with the Amazon glasses on the right. Alas, it's hard to see, but in real time the DayMax are a different color blue because they eliminates 100% of the harmful blue light, hence a change in blue. Whereas there's no change in color for the Amazon glasses.


https://i.imgur.com/Agpelvy.png

DayMax Glasses provide MAXIMUM protection against blue light during the day by eliminating 100% of the harmful blue light emitted from screens, devices, and lighting, while still allowing all the essential beneficial light though responsible for positive mood, energy, and focus.


My Night Glasses

NightFall Blue Blocking Glasses feature our signature blue AND green light blocking red lens. These are the most optimal blue light blocking glasses available for optimising sleep and balancing hormones...

Our optical grade red lenses block 100% of blue and green light from 400nm to 550nm. This is the exact range that has been shown in clinical trials to lower melatonin and negatively impact our sleep.

I have glasses on order as well. I ordered readers which take a bit longer, but reading is part of my 'wind down' process before sleeping and it should be helpful to be able to wear the nighttime glasses and read.

Also, at the risk of oversaturating and/or diluting the info shared in this thread, I found this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YV_iKnzDRg) helpful in better understanding some of what Dr Kruse talks about regarding light. It's more of a High School level explanation, which I appreciated. There are time stamps to help find specific areas of interest. There's a summary in the last 3 minutes:
- Get as much natural sunlight as possible (and get it as early in the day after you wake up as possible).
- Get exposure to low level red light around sunset time.
- Avoid all light exposure after sunset (particularly blue light), and especially within the last 2 hours before sleeping

This stuff ^ is pretty basic and understood by everyone who's following this thread I'm sure, but as mentioned, I found the explanations helpful. There's also a fair amount of feedback on what can be done practically in this modern world if/when a person can't strictly adhere to those 3 recommendations above.

IIRC TrumanCash is considering their Fitover & Clip-on Blue Light Glasses (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/fitover-blue-blocking-glasses). I'm considering it too because there’s a 25% off sale.
UPDATE: Clip-ons are heading my way. https://i.imgur.com/c5j735x.gif

I bought the day blue light blocking glasses but i dont like wearing them. I dont like wearing glasses all the time as I feel they come between my eyes and them directly receiving sunlight unimpeded. I did buy the red light lamp which is a great design and can clip on to anything

"Blue light glasses filter the harmful wavelengths of blue light and deliver a balanced spectrum to your eyes.”

The computer/gaming daytime glasses (https://www.blockbluelight.com/collections/computer-glasses) are designed to block out the blue light when you use screens such as iPhone, TV, tablets, gaming tech. Also LEDs and florescent lighting excessively emit blue light. You can replace them with natural spectrum bulbs.

You don’t wear the blue light glasses or sunglasses outside if you want to get the full, natural spectrum of light.

The format is ideal with Q&A, diagrams and bullet point slides and summaries along the way.

Before too much time passed, I want to update or add to the earlier information from Dr. Jack Kruse. He stated not to wear sunglasses, prescription glasses or contacts while soaking in the natural sunlight. It was to an interviewer that wore prescription glasses.

I’ve listened to about 7-9 other speakers and none of them brought up the topic. Whereas, Dr. Roger Seheult says and posted a slide: “Glasses/contacts do not interfere”.

If I recall correctly (and I could possibly be remembering incorrectly), Dr Kruse is against wearing contacts because it prevents the eye from being exposed to oxygen. I don't recall if he went into detail about this, or which video it was in (unfortunately).

I may have missed that part or that video, ClearWater. I don’t recall Dr. Jack saying exposed to oxygen, but I did find the one about no glasses which begins @ 23:29 (https://youtu.be/kZZSLQFZnQM?si=dv_VyzGSKM87DZvx&t=1409).

Transcribed:


Joe Cohen: I’ve thought about doing this like wearing red glasses in the daytime but the problem is I was always afraid that I'm going to ruin my circadian rhythm because you need blue light in the daytime to set those clock genes.

Dr. Jack Kruse: You only need the blue light in the beginning of the morning. That’s if you are following the lepin prescription. What does it tell you to do? As soon as you wake up, you go outside, not behind glass, not behind those glasses you're wearing, and let the sunlight hit your retina for about one to three minutes. What does that do? It tells your brain the sun just rose. After that it becomes an endogenous clock. It doesn't need constant…ah…it’s a one time effect. But soon as you wake up within 30 minutes, you need to get outside, naked and let the sun hit you.

I do recall now - the reference to contacts was in the discussion he had with Andrew Huberman on Rick Rubin's Youtube channel. It was brought up because Dr Kruse disagreed with Mr Huberman's advice on wearing contacts in one of his podcast episodes and had apparently replied to him on Twitter expressing that opinion rather aggressively, so they briefly touched on that disagreement. Wish I could offer more detail about where it was specifically, because it was a LONG discussion - about 6.5 hours over the 2 videos.

I downloaded those vids but never got to them. The passage is @ 3:27:45 ish.

I found this in a summary for Part One: Contacts and glasses can interfere with the eye’s ability to absorb oxygen and produce UV light, potentially exacerbating these issues.

Transcript:


Kruse: I’m mad at you when you told people, "I don't worry about glasses. Don’t worry about contacts. "

Huberman: All correct for the record for sure but I wanna make sure that I get it right. So contacts makes perfect sense to me based on the oxygenation issue.

Kruse: You don't want to cap the front of the eye. Because the cornea is translucent. It has no blood vessels in it. So how does it get oxygen? Straight from the air.

Huberman So you don't want to cover it in a plastic bag. (?)

Kruse: When you cover oxygen what do you do? We narrowed the wide band semiconductor so it can't make enough UV light distal in the system. That's the real answer. Changing oxygen tension...

What I figured out is when you unsubscribe from their emails, they’ll honor your request and send along a 15% discount in case you’ve forgotten something. So my last couple of items were with the discount. I considered the natural spectrum light bulb with winter coming and all, but I decided to purchase the Full Spectrum Lamp (https://www.blockbluelight.com/products/full-spectrum-lamp?variant=44630428188864) because I can move it where I need to rather than move a bulb from one room to the next. (It's oo costly to replace all the bulbs.)


So, miraculously my Nightfall Glasses arrived only 5 days after placing my order!! No customs delays or additional fees, YAY! 😀🙏 I did have 10% discount because I had signed up for the newsletter - funny that they would give you even more for UN-subscribing, haha

I had expected the shipment to take much longer, so I had ordered cheap 'computer glasses' off of Amazon in the meantime: These had pretty good reviews and only cost a fourth of the price of the blockbluelight-Nightfall glasses, so I figured I could use them during the day when I'm reading or writing on the screen. They are orange-colored (darker than amber, but not red like the Nightfall glasses). Apparently they block most of the blue light, but none of the green, whereas the red Nightfall glasses are said to block all the blue light plus most of the green. I've made a few tests to compare them both - see pictures below.

My experience with the blockbluelight-Nightfall Glasses so far:

The first week I wore the red Nightfall glasses religiously every night, from after sunset until I went to sleep. I was in a phase where I was really struggling with sleep and low energy levels, and I'm also trying to get off various substances that I need to get by (like taking melatonin at night to be able to fall asleep, or taking Kratom during the day to get energy).

The first few days I noticed something interesting: almost like increased irritability at night, not feeling better but more like feeling worse. Could this have been "screen-dopamine" withdrawal? Not sure, it could also have been because I had been sleeping so badly. 🤔
I didn't immediately notice any improvements after that first week, so I relaxed my religious wearing habits a bit.
The recent nights have been better, and I've started to reduce melatonin intake to half the amount - so I'm moving in the right direction! 😀 (I also started using a special 8Hz Sound Meditation before sleep, which does some magical relaxing things to my brain that seem to help as well)

Also, I placed another order with blockbluelight (took advantage of the 25% BlackFriday discount!) - the full spectrum lamp plus one full spectrum light bulb are now on the way... 😊

Ok, now to the tests, comparing the red blockbluelight-Nightfall Glasses with the cheap orange computer glasses:

First I looked for a blue light, like the digital clock RunningDeer showed:

54100


This is how blue things look on my computer screen:
(the way it looks on the photos is pretty similar to what my eyes see)

54101


Then I got the idea to look for websites that have specific tests for blue light blockers,
and the first two sites have the same test and both explain and show how the cyan circle should blend in with the green circle:
For a good test result, the blue circle should become dark gray, and the cyan color blends in with the green circle."

54102


Different website, same test: this time they have a photo of what it should look like, how the green should be blended with the cyan (the right hand photo is from their website, not by me):

54103


But with both my glasses the circles are not entirely blended together - in the photos it looks more blended than in real life.

54104


And then I found tests directly on the blockbluelight-Website...
(I'll make a second post because I have reached the attachment limit)

[QueenRia]

So these two tests are from the blockbluelight-Website, and the second one is quite interesting because it's the same test as the other websites, only here they don't say anything about the blending of the cyan and green - I'm wondering whether the blending thing is screen dependent, or glasses-dependent? 🤔

1)
54105

2)
54106

Anyway, based on these tests, the cheap glasses do seem to be good enough to use them during the day for computer tasks, so I don't have to be sad I couldn't get the expensive blockbluelight-Computer Glasses. 😊

If good enough works that makes it a two thumbs up.https://i.imgur.com/rOEQqjv.gif

My goal is to block 100% of the blue and green spikes that effect the sleep cycle. Those wavelengths bring cortisol back online and shuts down melatonin (sleep hormone) production. Poor sleep creates a host of problems including a dopamine imbalances which causes physical and behavioral changes/addictions.

I received my clip-on yellow lenses a week ago. I wanted to wait awhile, to get some experience with them before reporting. Regardless of what they may or may not block I am thoroughly impressed. Although I almost never use my cell phone, my laptop screen time is intense due to the work I do on my platform <--> website, articles, forum board, youtube, patreon, I create, myself, each and every graphic. Two years ago, due to the screen time I began getting dry eye. It has worked into one heck of a difficulty. I am also, it would seem, now prone to getting migraines. This is why I have been following this thread, the concept of blue blocking in general and making myself available for a recommendation for something that might help.

In this one short week, and in truth the first days of wearing the yellow lenses when on the laptop my eyes calmed down, stopped throbbing, always feeling like there was dirt in them and began to release their fluid, remoisturizing my eyes. To my utter surprise, one day while at work, I believe it was just the 3rd or 4th day I had begun to wear the lenses I felt one of my migraines coming on. I immediately thought to put them on and by the time I got home not quite two hours later I had no head pain at all. The blue blockers had literally overcome the migraine. I really want to put an exclamation mark here. Stopping one of the migraines I get in its tracks is no small thing. I have nothing but positive things to say about what these are helping me with, and in just a short time. I have to be able to keep working to bring in what I can through all available avenues, even if that is not much. These lenses have saved me. At least for now. I have a life line.

I really want to thank you, RunningDeer, for your contributions to this thread, the information and links to the block-blue-light site. I will be getting at least one more pair of the clip-ons, likely the amber ones. BEFORE the currently running 25% off black Friday sale ends.

For more information (https://www.spectraldesign.com.au/) about Marco and Spectral design.

Block Blue Lights:

We recommend them because we use them, but it's important to note that they still create dirty electricity. We find the Block Blue lights test very well for all 3 categories and can be a better option depending on your requirements and sensitivity.

There are also ways to set up lighting systems with no hazards, but this may be more extensive work and expensive, but it's possible.

Am I right thinking that DC lights would not have the AC flicker thing going on?
If so, that would also include DC LEDs irrespective of their issues with bad spectrum.
In fact thinking aloud here, aren't LEDs generally DC?

I ran a quick search. I’ll leave it to you to see if any of the information fills in the blanks for you, or until someone more knowledgeable can assist.





Question: Do DC lights flicker?

No, ideally, DC lights should not flicker because direct current (DC) provides a constant flow of electricity, unlike alternating current (AC) which switches direction, causing flicker; however, even with DC lights, poor quality power supplies or faulty wiring can still lead to some degree of flickering. 

Key points about DC lights and flicker:

Theory: Since DC is a steady current, it shouldn't cause noticeable flicker when used properly. 


LEDs and DC: Most modern LED lights use DC power and are designed to minimize flicker. 


Potential flicker sources: Issues with the power supply (driver) for the LED lights, loose connections, or a poorly designed circuit can still cause flickering even with DC power.

Perhaps you’ve encountered visible light flicker due to faulty wiring connections, worn-out bulbs, and electricity issues. However, a lesser-known flicker type is often overlooked for obvious reasons – it might not be visible to the naked eye.

That’s right; LED lights have invisible flickers that are only seen after taking a shot with your smartphone camera or when they produce a stroboscopic effect on objects in motion.

Because LED flicker isn’t always visible to the eye, we don’t have an apparent reason to switch to a flicker-free LED light. However, a closer look at the topic reveals why a flicker-free light matters.


What Is Flicker In LED Lights?

https://i.imgur.com/JVO9XUE.png

The flicker in LED light refers to quick fluctuations in brightness occurring several times per second. The swift speed of the flicker often makes it invisible to the eye.

However, it may have neurological and physiological effects on our bodies. For instance, you may experience a headache, eye strain, or fatigue due to excessive light flicker. Even worse, students may have trouble concentrating.

Although flicker is mostly unnoticeable, you may observe it in a few cases.

For example, it gets noticeable when it creates a stroboscopic effect (an optical phenomenon that occurs due to unhindered illumination of an object in motion and causes it to appear stationary or moving slower than the actual rate) on moving objects.

Likewise, you may observe it in the form of vertical streaking lines after clicking photos with your smartphone.


Conclusion

The severity of the flicker effect varies depending on the light source because different light sources exhibit different flicker frequencies.

The best way to mitigate the flicker effect is to opt for flicker-free LED lighting.

Not only do they minimize distortion in video recording, but they also reduce eyestrain, headaches, and other problems associated with light flicker.

UPDATE: Dr. Jack Kruse references many of the same studies found in “The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life,” by: Arthur Firstenbery, 2020. And in an episode or two he gives a shout out for the book. (added below)

I purchased an Digital Electromagnetic Field Radiation Detector (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B79GWYHL/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A2CAXYNGILHUYF&psc=1) last spring. I’ll add a condensed version here:




Like rain on a campfire, electromagnetic fields douse the flames of metabolism. They reduce the activity of the cytochromes and there is evidence that they do so in the simplest of all possible ways: by exerting a force that alters the speed of the electrons being transported along the chain of cytochromes to oxygen.” ~ Arthur Firstenbery, "The Invisible Rainbow", March 9, 2020


The Invisible Rainbow has opened my eye to stay the course with my expanding health choices. I purchased a Digital Electromagnetic Field Radiation Detector (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B79GWYHL/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A2CAXYNGILHUYF&psc=1). It’s far from a super-duper model. I was relieved to discover things like the air conditioner, humidifier, air filter and water distiller measure in the safe range. I tossed my TV over 20 years ago, so I plan to test my brother’s humongous TV screen in the media room. (Fingers crossed the radiation detector will rouse family members curiosity.) The worst pollution are the computer and iPads when they’re plugged in. The electric fields register from severe to extreme, so I run them on the batteries and charge at night.

The EMF radiation blanket I purchased about a month ago was a bust. (see post (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?123096-Targeted-individuals-ALL-OF-US-microwaving-us-at-night-9-11-pm-to-9-11-am&p=1613916&viewfull=1#post1613916)) I covered over my iPads station to block out the electric field. The detector hardly lowered. I recently came across an article that explains how EMS clothing and blankets aren’t efficient as we’re lead to believe. For instance, as I understand it, when you cover your body with an EMF blanket, the electric pollution is sent elsewhere and it may cause them to localize on another part of the body like the head rather than dispersing into the larger field. See Sometimes shielded clothing can make EMF exposure worse (https://techwellness.com/blogs/expertise/best-emf-blocking-clothes-and-material-what-should-you-buy).

Fortunately, I’ve only in the last two years used a cell phone on a regular basis. I reconfigured my wifi to turn off with a flip of a switch, rather than disconnecting wires. I also keep the wifi off for large chunks of time during the day. I download vids/podcasts and listen to them off-line. I also switched back to books rather than Kindle/iPad tech even though they register in the good range when I'm not connected to wifi and bluetooth.

Lastly, on page 380 of The Invisible Rainbow, the topic of Mobile Communication and Children’s Health was so compelling that I sent a copy of the book to my nephew and his wife. They recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl after years of trying. Baby monitors, cell phones, microwave oven and a large screen TV are part of their lifestyle. Fingers crossed they’ll take time to read some of the other chapters and it’ll spill over to other family members as well.

To summarize, the EMF detector help me change a few things and also gave me peace of mind that it’s not as bad in my place as I thought, but I keep in mind that electromagnetic pollution is cumulative. What I mean by that is after years of overstimulation, the body becomes exhausted and cellular metabolism is reduced at all levels.

Summary (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1645020096?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details): 4.8 review, 2382 ratings, 4.8 out of 5





5g is being rolled out across the country, despite growing evidence that it is disruptive to our health, our safety, and the environment. The Invisible Rainbow is the groundbreaking story of electricity as it’s never been told before―exposing its very real impact on the biosphere and human health.

Over 100,000 copies sold!

Over the last 220 years, society has evolved a universal belief that electricity is ‘safe’ for humanity and the planet. Scientist and journalist Arthur Firstenberg disrupts this conviction by telling the story of electricity in a way it has never been told before―from an environmental point of view―by detailing the effects that this fundamental societal building block has had on our health and our planet.

In The Invisible Rainbow, Firstenberg traces the history of electricity from the early eighteenth century to the present, making a compelling case that many environmental problems, as well as the major diseases of industrialized civilization―heart disease, diabetes, and cancer―are related to electrical pollution.






"Few individuals today are able to grasp the entirety of a scientific subject and present it in a highly engaging manner . . . Firstenberg has done just that with one of the most pressing but neglected problems of our technological age."―BRADLEY JOHNSON,MD, Amen Clinic, San Francisco



"[A] masterpiece."―Celia Farber, investigative journalist



"This seminal book...will transform your understanding ...of the environmental and health effects of electricity and radio frequencies"―Paradigm Explorer

That thought crossed my mind, too. I downloaded the video. Danny Jones explained how he bleeped out parts to get around the Youtube merry-go-round censorship. He informed us that the podcast is an 'electric conversation'.

That’s an awfully kindly stretch. https://i.imgur.com/c5j735x.gif


Every single thing that uses EMF raises blood glucose and insulin.

I’m an hour and 16 minute in where Dr. Jack discusses Calley Means and his sister, Casey Means advice in their book to use a continuous glucose monitor (CGMs), “Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health”.

I stopped to make a post where Calley stumbles and tries to skirt the issue. In fairness, I read their “Good Energy” book. It was informative enough. Though, I only skimmed the wearable chapter. As I understood it, you had to go through a healthcare provider and the monitors had to be FDA-approved because most wearable are not accurate. Then I researched the over-the-counter products. In each case, a wearable sensor is attached to the back of the arm and connects to a smartphone app. It continuously measures and records glucose levels. Each sensor can be worn for up to 15 days.

Smartphone app …that’s the EMS issue Dr. Jack points out which I also questioned at the time because of the book, “The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life”. (here (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?123684-Dr.-Jack-Kruse-Blue-blocking-glasses-and-much-much-else&p=1645664&viewfull=1#post1645664))

My conclusion was rather than the tech route, I have an honest think talk with myself about sugar/carbs intake, stress areas, and sleep patterns, then change the behavior(s).



“Good Energy,”pg. 21:



“And therein lies the root of the blood sugar problems, such as pre diabetes and type 2 diabetes, conditions that affect over 50% of adults and nearly 30% of children in the United States. It’s a domino effect of mitochondrial dysfunction - caused by several environmental factors - which leads to a back up of glucose and fatty acids that convert to toxic fats that fill the cell, thereby blocking insulin signaling, leading to a cell that struggles to take in glucose from the bloodstream. Insulin resistance ultimately leads to a rise in our day-to-day levels of blood sugar.”

I listened to the podcast yesterday. It made me think about so many things.

IMO from all the times I have listened to Jack Kruse, I saw that he communicates his passion for what he wants to reveal as a kind of anger which is hard to deal with at times. He in this interview could have been more clear and I think it did reveal some important information. I see Calley means as a young man who IS part of the elite minion class. He IS influenced more than he knows by belief in the system...versus the SYSTEM is the evil.

I do hear new age "heart" messages from him. He seems like he really is young. However, I can't tell if he is compromising (for instance prevarication about the shots)or IGNORANT. He probably is afraid to go against the "authority" and this wishy washyness is what I see happening all over. I see it in Del Bigtree. People are still apologists in some way for the "complexification and crapification" system that is the agent of what I see as our dire adversary.

Using MORE technology and LESS human skills of observation and understanding of the unique beings we are is evidenced by "fitbits" and glucose monitors and using blood work with "standard" values. This is WRONG and we MUST turn away from this route. The issue is seeking the "root causes" THEN being CLEAR that "what HARMS" will NOT BE TOLERATED. I agree that we must stop the shots PERIOD. It is also important to add all the issues to be observed, light issues, EMFs, additives to food , poisons in the environment, The CHEMTRAILS ETC... so many issues.... The people who are apologists are appearing to be controlled by their BELIEFS they NEED the System to continue.

Worth sitting through.....

I'm also no fan of wearables. What's interesting though, there seems to be a new technology, low emission (or low energy) bluetooth, which supposedly has only 1/1.000.000 of the radiation coming off regular bluetooth.

I’ll not be surprise when science catch on that EMF plays a role in physical and spiritual alterations. I’ve posted elsewhere of how years back I lacked the knowledge of the latest technology. So when I ”saw” how part of a man’s skull had AI metal tech, I did a double take. It was confirmed when he got out of the car and he put a wireless contraption around his ear. I watched for others with similar AI scull implants. Some had cell phones and some didn’t but I’d wager they were frequent users.

It was around the same time that I’d ”see” energetic entities hitchin-a-ride. They were different shapes and sizes. For example, tentacles wrapped around a heart. Or an entity taking up real estate space in the lower back. Or rooting itself in an organ or muscle.

Some felt like an energy while others over time manifested into an energetic entity. It was easy enough to pull them off/out much like an octopus with suction cups. I also saw metal plates and other chisel-like tech. I'd pluck and send them back to Source. It wasn’t long before I realized that an energetic continued to manifest if the person didn’t keep up with the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual cleaning.

[ClearWater]

I got through about half of the new Danny Jones video, with no plan to watch any more of it. It's a debate, in which both 'sides' goal seems to be purely to 'win'. There's not much actual discussion.
To this point I've come away quite disappointed and somewhat more skeptical of both Calley and Jack.

Dr.Jack Kruse:


The biggest problem in health...it's NOT diet.


There are 250 diet books are written every year and yet what happens? Every time we keep using non-native EMF all the way back from 1893, the DNA stuff gets worse and worse and worse. If you don’t make the accurate diagnosis we’re not going to solve the problem.

All of the assaults on our health are important.

However, the vaccines are the most important. The vaccine MODEL, the ingredients, the political usage and the EUGENICS dovetail is sheer evil. IMO When hell was attempting to identify the best way to destroy human kind, it arrived at vaccines.

I suspect Dr. Jack Kruse would agree. I’m about a 3/4 of the way through this video. Dr. Jack is part of a round table where they’re talking about the Industrial Military Complex, Big Pharma, vaccine laws, covid and pre-covid with the polio vaccine, how the media was co-opted, cancelling and censorship, Ivermectin, plus a whole lot more.


“The Department of Defense was the distributor of this pharmaceutical. That’s Covid. Big Pharma was the drug dealers for the government.”
........
“Why do they want to do that?” That is probably the biggest nuclear question because I think that goes to the heart of the matter. The heart of the matter is that this fundamentally started out as a bio weapons program. That's started all the way back with the polio vaccine and that's a story that begins in 1951.”


........
Nicole Shanahan: I would love to hear on your take on what’s going on.

Dr. Jack Kruse @ 22:22 (https://www.youtube.com/live/v-37Vf0fJ5c?si=RSmPEafvFobQ_Deo&t=1343) : Andy (Dr. Andrew Wakefield) was canceled because he challenged the Global World Order of the Industrial Military complex. Big Pharma sits at the right hand, but we called the Cantillon effect. The reason why they're important and the reason why they're given this spot is the Department of Defense was the distributor of this pharmaceutical. That’s Covid. Big Pharma was the drug dealers for the government. And the key point is the government, what they're doing to Mary (Dr. Mary Bowden), Andy is a global problem, she’s a state and local problem.

The way this Cantillon effect works, when you understand the history pre-Andy, and what happened with the vaccine law, and that Reagan put Fauci in, and that the government is learning how to deal with big piles of money in collections, they began to realize that they can control the narrative. That began all the way back in the 40s and 50s with General Groves. When they didn't want the media in war in theater because they found it was bad for business. So what did they do in the 60s and 70s through several programs that Bobby has talked about extensively, they realize that they could co-op the media.

They've done it in different ways, through different programs in the government. But what they do with science? They basically came up with the plan to use Big Pharma to allow them to pay media companies, so that media companies could be used as propaganda arms for mandates that the government want to go through.

The key in this whole process, your question was, “Why do they want to do that?” That is probably the biggest nuclear question because I think that goes to the heart of the matter. The heart of the matter is that this fundamentally started out as a bio weapons program. That's started all the way back with the polio vaccine and that's a story that begins in 1951.

Q&A begins @ 52:52 minutes which also includes informative discussion in the video below.




Nicole Shanahan: We've got to help people out right now. We opened up the line for questions and we've gotten hundreds of questions. People are out there in this country right now. A lot of people are hurting. A lot of people just don't feel well. And they want to know how to get better.

Everyone's eager to move on from this. Anyone in government, a politician, there is a call for people to enter politics right now to address these issues. The undermining of human health and decency for these other purposes, we can't be doing that anymore. We just we can't. We can't put the military complex and bio weapons and testing and big Pharma in front of the American family anymore. I am tired of it. I'm sick of it. We’ve gotta move on. People need to heal.





The questions are:

Is the government still mandating the shots in the US? Yes (The video is dated September, 2024.)


What would be your top three treatments for autism - AST (Autism Spectrum Therapies)?


My son started having grand man seizures the same day as one of his childhood vaccines (DPT). He was six months old and they persisted to this day. He's now 32 years old. What did that shot do to him?


30 year old person asks, “I’ve been consuming microplastic seed oils and highly processed foods my entire life. Is there evidence or hope of eating clean for a certain amount of time and clearing most if not all from our systems?”


I am a former Air Force Intel officer who is discharged from the military after being denied a medical religious exemption for the Covid shot because I wanted to protect my fertility. I have a fertility disorder and at the time had been seeing a fertility specialist which the department of defense knew about because they referred me and I'm a vaccine injured from Gardasil. I didn't want to further compromise my fertility by taking the COVID-19 vaccine. There's so many female members like me, males as well, who were forced out of the military for wanting to protect their fertility. Will you work with the next administration to study fertility rates and complications of military members compared to the general population? My husband got the shot to save his career and he is injured because of it.



What’s the best diet?


I went through most of Covid and believe the vaccine narrative coming from the government and media. What can we do in the future to fix the censorship problem? We need the best science to win no matter where it takes us.

I received my clip-on yellow lenses a week ago. I wanted to wait awhile, to get some experience with them before reporting. Regardless of what they may or may not block I am thoroughly impressed.

Casey, I thought of you while perusing the book, “Carnivore Cure”. It's a side tip that suggests to ride out the migraine. That may be a big ask. I'd try riding out a headache to start.




"If you suffer from migraines, the best option may be to ride it out the migraine because they serve a purpose in healing.

Consider healing the gut as toxins from the gut can congest the liver. Toxins run through blood vessels, and when these vessels become irritated from toxins, the bodies protective response is to collapse the blood vessels. This collapsing of the blood vessels causes migraines and pounding headaches. When the blood vessel collapses the body prioritizes healing the inflamed area. Once repaired, the blood vessels will regain it structure and the migraine will be stopped.

By taking medications, the body’s process of healing the inflamed blood vessel is interrupted. The next time you get a migraine, the body will have to heal two inflamed, collapsed parts of a blood vessel - often the sign is more intense migraines.

Heal the gut and trust the bodies innate wisdom. Stop temporary Band-Aids, and work on the root cause healing."

I received my clip-on yellow lenses a week ago. I wanted to wait awhile, to get some experience with them before reporting. Regardless of what they may or may not block I am thoroughly impressed.

RunningDeer,

It is exceptional advice.

I never "take" anything for a headache or migraine.

When I can I lay down, if I need I wear my Mindfold mask. I am in a constant state of healing my gut, detoxing......the liver, kidneys, bowels, etc.. Even though my diet is good, and for the most part clean, we all have our past. Mine is multiple decades in the past, lol, but I continue to clean house. My migraines in part are a result of my work as a Seer ( the work with the crystals, if you are familiar ). No Service is without a certain debt to be paid. This said, another part is hormones, and once I have this finally all in check ( no easy task ) I suspect the situation should improve. Thank you for thinking of me. I hope you will always feel to pass messages such as that above on to me.

This relates to Jack Kruse because "Primalhacker", Thaddeus worked with Jack Kruse and the conversation is about drawing what is needed for the body from sun, our thoughts in the context of Jason's experience and ideas about the simulacrum.


Meet Primalhacker, Thaddeus. Despite a full-time corporate job he loves he’s had time to appears on over 40 podcasts. His approach to biohacking is a little different than most with a focus on showing people how to get healthy without supplements. His goal is to teach people how to utilize the concepts of biohacking using nature first and to get everyone to learn about light and its impact on health.

Exiled Neurosurgeon: Health is about Light NOT Food





March 7, 2025
TAKE A DEEP BREATH (https://www.youtube.com/@TAKEADEEPBREATH/videos)
281K Subscribers

Today's guest is Dr. Jack Kruse, a neurosurgeon and health optimizer who takes a unique approach to wellness through what he calls "quantum biology." Dr. Kruse has dedicated his career to exploring the connection between light, electromagnetism, and human health. He's known for his controversial perspectives on how modern technology, artificial light, and high-latitude living negatively impact our cellular function and mitochondrial health.

In our conversation, Dr. Kruse shares eye-opening insights about the dangers of blue light, why grounding is essential for optimal health, and how sunlight exposure affects everything from cancer risk to mental health. We dive deep into why vitamin D supplements aren't a substitute for natural sunlight, the problems with electric saunas, and his provocative take on why decisions about where we live might be the most important health choices we make.

Just comparing...

Isn't my intention to derail ,or refusing anything what Jack Kruse say in his last video, I watched it last night...

BUT, now just as casualty or synchronism found this: https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/archivos_pdf/humans-not-earth.pdf

from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erle_Ellis

Extract from his PDF: 2.1 The Sun dazzles us


After the billions of years that life has existed on Earth, and with humans
now supposedly sitting at the top of the evolutionary ladder, how can it be
possible that the Sun still hurts our eyes and causes us to injure ourselves? We
might expect this in species much further down the evolutionary ladder. But in
fact, they’re all well-adapted to it too, just as the birds are. They’ve been well
adapted to it for millions of years. Even our reputed ancestors, the ancient
hominins, had prominent brow ridges that shielded their eyes. The fact that we
don’t have them now makes no sense – if we came from Earth.

The only plausible explanation is that we only arrived here comparatively
recently, and we haven’t had time to adapt to this type of sun yet. That also
means we couldn’t have evolved from Earth’s ancient hominins. And, sure
enough, there’s plenty of evidence to support that idea too.

So how do birds avoid being dazzled? It’s simple enough: they have a
translucent third eyelid, known as a nictitating membrane, [2-02] that moves
horizontally across their eyes. Nictitating membranes would prevent us from
being dazzled too, so why don’t we have them? Well, it turns out that we did
have them in the distant past. You can still see a non-functioning remnant in the
corner of your eye – the plica semilunaris (or semilunar fold).

Most animals have nictitating membranes: fish; amphibians; reptiles; and
lots of mammals, from aardvarks to camels, polar bears and seals. But when we
reach the more advanced primates, such as ourselves, they all but disappear.
Nictitating membranes don’t just protect eyes from the sun; they serve a
variety of other purposes too. They protect against water, sand and other debris,
and, in some cases, sharp beaks, teeth, and claws. They prevent woodpeckers
from damaging their retinas when they hammer their beaks against tree trunks.
In polar bears, they protect against snow blindness.

The fact that we don’t have nictitating membranes, at least to any
functioning degree, is extraordinary. If we had them, they’d prevent a great deal
of discomfort, a significant number of injuries, and quite a few deaths.

OBJECTION: I doubt that not flinching at the sun is essential for a
species’ survival.

True, but in that case why do so many other species have nictitating
membranes, and why are they a vestigial feature in us? They may not be
essential, but built-in sunglasses that flip across your eyes as and when you
need them would be a highly desirable feature. We had them once, but
evolution decided we didn’t have a strong enough case for keeping them.
That may have made perfect sense back on our home planet – and we’ll see
why in Chapter 10 – but it makes no sense at all here on Earth

OBJECTION: The other advanced primates don’t have nictitating
membranes either.
True again, but that’s a behavioral thing. They don’t go out in the sun; they
stay in the shade. They’re not explorers and wanderers like we are. It makes
sense that they lost theirs; they have no real need for them. But we do.

I have a question.

Has anyone here used RED LIGHT THERAPY SPECIFICALLY FOR THEIR EYES?

I am looking for information regarding the device you settled on, how exactly you use it, specifically what for and any effect the therapy had.

If you are using red light therapy for something not involving the eyes I would love to hear from you also.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. :heart:

Hi Casey, https://i.imgur.com/hDzamRz.gif

I’ve used red-light therapy and near-infrared light therapy to stimulate regeneration in skin and underlying tissues for the last year and a half.

Initially, I used an eye mask. Now, I keep my eyes closed. As I understand it, the light goes through the lids. I use the machine for twelve minutes on my face, neck and upper chest every morning and sometimes late afternoon.

It's hard to say how much it's helped. It's one of many things I do to say healthy, and I'm always experimenting and changing things up.

This is a repost of my model including a link to the product. At the time there was a $50 off promo which helped me make the final decision.

Benefits (listed on the site)


Skin Health and Anti-Aging


Red light therapy (RLT) is well-documented for improving skin health by stimulating collagen production, reducing wrinkles, and enhancing skin elasticity. It promotes cell regeneration and repair, which leads to a more youthful appearance.

Wound Healing and Tissue Repair


 RLT accelerates the healing process of wounds and injuries by promoting increased blood flow and cellular activity at the site of injury. It enhances the formation of new blood vessels and tissues, facilitating faster recovery.

Pain and Inflammation Reduction


RLT has been shown to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, particularly in conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and muscle injuries. It works by reducing oxidative stress and promoting cellular repair.

Hair Growth and Hair Loss Prevention


RLT can stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth, making it a popular treatment for androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). It increases blood flow to the scalp and enhances cellular metabolism in hair follicles.

Muscle Recovery and Performance


Athletes use RLT to enhance muscle recovery and improve performance. It reduces muscle soreness, accelerates recovery after intense exercise, and increases endurance by boosting cellular energy production.

Joint Health and Arthritis Relief


RLT can reduce symptoms of arthritis, including joint pain and stiffness. It promotes cartilage repair and reduces inflammation in the joints, improving mobility and comfort.

Mood and Depression Improvement


RLT may have positive effects on mood disorders and depression by influencing the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin. It can also help with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Sleep Improvement


RLT can help regulate the sleep-wake cycle by influencing melatonin production. It has been shown to improve sleep quality and duration, helping individuals achieve better rest.

Cognitive Function and Neuroprotection


There is emerging evidence that RLT may support cognitive function and provide neuroprotective effects, potentially benefiting conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

Acne Reduction


RLT can help reduce acne by decreasing inflammation and bacteria levels on the skin. It promotes skin healing and reduces the appearance of acne scars.

Dental Health


RLT can promote oral health by reducing inflammation, pain, and healing times in dental procedures. It may also support the treatment of periodontal disease.

Weight Loss and Metabolism


There is some evidence that RLT can aid in weight loss by increasing cellular metabolism and reducing adipose tissue. It may enhance fat cell reduction and improve body composition.

Hormonal Balance


RLT might influence hormonal balance by affecting the endocrine system. It could help with issues like thyroid function and hormone regulation.

Immune System Support


RLT may boost the immune system by enhancing cellular function and promoting the activity of immune cells. It could help in faster recovery from illnesses and infections.

Eye Health


RLT may benefit eye health by reducing inflammation and promoting cellular repair in the retina. It has potential in treating conditions like age-related macular degeneration.

Thank you for your reply, RunningDeer :heart:

Question: in your research did you find anything you found of importance relative to the number of lights the device has? It seems the length of each session/therapy is relative to the "dose" the device puts out. I have not heard of using red light therapy daily for extended periods/months/years. What are the lengths of your sessions? And have you ever used the laser/torch?

It's been a while since I've done the research, so I'll only speak to what I know about The hooga PRO300 - Red Light Therapy Device. There are separate switches for the red-light and near-infrared light. I turn on both because it broadens the therapeutic benefits. The LEDs are spaced apart so it gives an even coverage and is also designed to cover larger areas at a distance.

No, I’ve never used a laser/torch or anything else. If there comes a time where I experience negative results with the hooga POR300, I’d discontinue it. As mentioned, my sessions are twelve minutes in the morning maybe a second session in the afternoon. So far, it’s been a year and half of sessions.

I have a question.

I am looking for information regarding the device you settled on, how exactly you use it, specifically what for and any effect the therapy had. This reply may be redundant! (If so, do please forgive me. :flower:)

Re the eyes, I shared this story (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?94040-Blue-hazard-LED-lighting-may-compromise-your-vision-and-health&p=1319235&viewfull=1#post1319235) a few years ago. It's a long post, but it was a really valuable personal success story, all about blue-blocking mountain sunglasses. I wear them all the time now when up high, my eyes are strong and in very good shape, and I don't need regular spectacles for anything (reading, driving) even after all these years.

~~~
A personal story. Some of you may have read, or remember, that I injured my eyes back in January on a really extreme UV (ultraviolet) day, very high on a mountain, without any sunglasses. OMG. :facepalm:

I fried my eyes completely, and had to sit in the dark for several days to recover. But even after that, I was very sensitive.

I bought two kinds of high-tech sunglasses, from Julbo (http://julbo.com).

These seemed to be the best. 100% UV protection, and a Spectron 4 lens that cut out 95% of visible light. (They're very dark!)

https://img1-image.cdnsbg.com/product_image/designer_sunglasses/Julbo/Julbo%20TENSING%20J436%201122.jpg

But then I also got these, with a Spectron 3 lens, also with 100% UV protection, but which 'only' cut out 90% of the light.

http://projectavalon.net/julbo_Cham_glasses.jpg

The Spectron 4 lens is clearly darker. So the next three days I went to the mountains, even though it was dull and rainy each time, I wore those 'best' ones. And each time, my eyes were sore at the end of the day.

I was thinking "OMG, I've really damaged my eyes." I was pretty unhappy about that.

Then, the fourth day, a short time later, it was really bright and sunny. FAR brighter than the previous 3 days which had left my eyes hurting. I really wanted to go out, but this time I brought everything with me.

The Spectron 4s, the Spectron 3s, and also some huge anti-UV goggles which would actually fit OVER the glasses as a double layer if need be. I resolved to experiment and find some way that would protect me, at least maybe a little bit better.

Well, what I found was that my eyes were REALLY comfortable in the Spectron 3s. And at the end of the very long, bright day, 6 hours in the bright sun, my eyes weren't sore at all.

Yet the Spectron3s didn't cut out as much light as the 'better', darker pair. It seemed to make no sense — though I now knew what to wear from here on out.

Eventually, I realized what was happening. It was the COLOR of the lenses. The Spectron 3s were brown — and so they cut out the blue light but allowed in the red light. Simply that was what made the BIG difference.

Both blocked 100% of the UV. But after that, it wasn't the intensity of the light that mattered. It was the color.

See how that all fits together? But I've not read about that anywhere else... the importance of sunglass lens color.

It was only because my eyes were recovering from injury, and were very sensitive, that I could figure out what was was happening. Most people wouldn't notice the difference... though their eyes might still be gradually becoming more and more damaged in very bright light with the wrong color lenses.

If you are using red light therapy for something not involving the eyes I would love to hear from you also.I have a Vielight (https://www.vielight.com/de//wp-content/uploads/2020/02/633-655-info-sheet-2020-fin.pdf)655nm red light (https://www.vielight.com/de//wp-content/uploads/2020/02/633-655-info-sheet-2020-fin.pdf)nasal laser (https://www.vielight.com/de//wp-content/uploads/2020/02/633-655-info-sheet-2020-fin.pdf).

I use it while I'm driving to and from hiking in the mountains. The red laser light oxygenates the blood.

I have a small finger oximeter, and my naturopath tells me that my blood oxygen level is higher than any other expat here that he knows of. And as best I understand, a high blood oxygen level can have all kinds of health-supporting effects. It's just one of the several protocols that I deploy regularly to keep in shape.

I do recall now - the reference to contacts was in the discussion he had with Andrew Huberman on Rick Rubin's Youtube channel. It was brought up because Dr Kruse disagreed with Mr Huberman's advice on wearing contacts in one of his podcast episodes and had apparently replied to him on Twitter expressing that opinion rather aggressively, so they briefly touched on that disagreement. Wish I could offer more detail about where it was specifically, because it was a LONG discussion - about 6.5 hours over the 2 videos.
