I’d love to hear about red light therapy in conjunction with methylene blue taken internally if anyone knows of such a protocol.

I’m familiar with topical application of MB for tinea versicolor and skin cancer and I understand there is a synergy between the two, both acting on the electron transport chain as well as MB having some inhibitory effects on yeast, etc. Internal MB + NIR is where I haven’t heard much talk.

Macular degeneration treatment with NIR is also one I picked up on recently. It seems as if where blue light/UV causes damage; red light might fix.

Overdosing and biphasic:

I’m also curious about the biphasic dose response with red light therapy. For example, are the recommendations different depending on the season and sun exposure? Can you get too much of a good thing in the summer? It’s very hard to know the dose you receive from the sun in a week (and this varies by latitude and likely overcast conditions) while it is very easy to know the dose you receive from LED panels in a week.

Clothing:

Clothing is another aspect I’m interested in as a filter. NIR is basically heat and heat penetrates clothing. So, I suspect when clothed out in the sun, you might still getting a good dose all over your body. I see advertisements for Platinum LED where folks are clothed, though I always stand in front of the panels unclothed. The truth of the filtering effect of clothing is an unknown to me. Does it matter?
