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?

I’m so behind in watching videos. By chance does anyone remember if it was discussed the ideal amount of time to wait between taking methylene blue and doing red light? Thanks!
