These people not only had more significant improvement than they would get with red light, the effect lasted much longer.
Now, one of the things that makes me think now, I go back, I go back and I think about our experimental results.
Why did I get such good experimental results?
in whatever it was I was doing?
Is it simply because I am drawing my subjects from a population of human beings who are living under LED lights?
If I went and did those same experiments on a group of pharmacists,
you know, or people who are doing surveying of the countryside, would I get the same effect?

I have to be careful here about not going over the top, but we're suffering from a suppression of our physiology via mitochondria that is just being produced by the built environment.
