God, that's so weird.
I think it's going to change.
I think actually, like I said, I think light medicine is actually going to become very important in the next 10, 20 years.
And dermatologists are kind of positioned to be, like, the leaders on that stuff because, like,
skin is the primary interface with light for our bodies.
And they should be experts on all this.
Red light therapy is a big thing now.
And dermatologists are doing that, even though the evidence isn't great for that.
But I think there's probably something there.
But they should basically, I think they need to be thinking more about all these different wavelengths of light as healing modalities and how to work them into regular programs.
And again, I think mitochondria are part of that answer.
There's a guy at University College London, Glenn Jeffrey, who this is his whole field, optometry and red light.
And he has shown in multiple different animals, including humans, that red light improves mitochondrial function and improves vision.
And yeah, I think β so the mitochondria in the eyes have to fire faster than any mitochondria anywhere else in the body.
The eyes burn through energy like no other cells because it's like β it's kind of the toughest task.
It's like they got to go super fast.
So they β yeah, those mitochondria need to be β
on top of their game, and it seems like red light benefits that in particular.
