of the body.

Now, Parkinson's disease originates from a very small nucleus deep in the brainstem, but he was reducing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease in these primates very significantly with lights that were being shone on the abdomen.

So, any one of these you take in isolation, and there are many of these studies, and you go, yeah, maybe.

Yeah.

It could be rescuing components of the pathway.

I think that we know that red light, and we're using that term very loosely, and perhaps we shouldn't.

We know that long wavelength light reduces the magnitude of cell death in the body.

Cell death is very often initiated, apoptosis, by mitochondria.

When mitochondria get fed up, and I see them as batteries, when the charge on the battery goes down low enough, they put their hand up and they say, time to die.

Yeah.

Okay.

Now that again fits into the wider spectrum of other research that's not put together.

So that was John, and John has been a big leader in red light,

dementia and Parkinson's disease, and a lot of it in primate models, which means it's got a lot of validity to it.

Yeah, they're similar to us.

Yeah, they're very- Or us to them.

Yeah.

Another experiment we did was over life, you will lose a third of your rod photoreceptors in your retina.

Okay, the rod system is the majority of photoreceptors are rods.

They are the receptors that you use when you're dark adapted, which a lot of us aren't very much these days.
