Quickly here, red light is a part of the sunlight spectrum.

We have, you know, the sunlight spectrum is consisted of

UV, blue into the visible, red is longer in the visible, and then near infrared and infrared, which is invisible to the human eye, but has a lot of effects on the human body, as we'll talk about.

And so they had these LED blankets with red and infrared light.

They put it on the legs and the arms of these hospital ICU patients.

So these patients that are in critical care units, they're in the hospital, they're in the ICU, and what they saw

was they had two groups, the sham group, so the group who thought they may have been getting the red lights.

They put the blankets on, but they never actually turned the switch on to turn the light on, right?

And then they had the other group that they put the blankets on, but they turned the switch on to turn the lights on.

So two groups, getting red and infrared light and not getting red and infrared light.

And what they saw was the group getting the red and infrared light had a 30% reduction in hospital ICU length of stay.

So the time that they were staying in the ICU, and this did not matter of what they were actually in the ICU for, which is really important here, right?

So it could have been whatever it was.

And in the study, they detail all the people and what they were in the ICU for.

but it was across all reasons for being in ICU.

30% reduction in length of stay.

And this is like very, very dramatic.

I mean, if you ask any doctor that works in ICU, 30% reduction is not a little deal.

Like that is a huge deal.

Like you have medications for, and you have medications and you have these other things for things where people are in the hospital.
