Light, Health Benefits, Medical Applications

Well, as you know, my name is Matt Devoe, and I'm going to talk about some revolutionary technology involved with Light. I got into light when I wrote an article on alternative health for a monthly paper up in Berkeley.

And I was just looking at different areas of ways to heal that were outside traditional methods. And it came across light and it was really astonishing to me. Shortly after that, I ended up producing an independent documentary on light and its effects in medicine, interviewing people from Harvard, Stanford, NASSA, the FDA, DOJ. And I was shocked at the information that I got. I ended up putting together a Web site called the Medical Light Association, where I featured a lot of that material and most recently released a book called Light Health Benefits and Medical Applications. And if anybody wants to go to my booth after the lecture, it's 150 to come and talk to me and ask me more questions. So as we know, there was major medical breakthroughs with the innovation of immunization.

And then later, antibiotics and now medical light technology, which I'm going to talk about.

These systems are being innovated all over the world. Russian seems to be one of the early adopters of developing this technology. Now it's being developed all over the world, being studied at major universities everywhere, including NASA, the Department of Defense and the FDA. Back in 1983, Neales Fencing won a Nobel Prize for healing people with light. Back in 1923. And he ended up creating the defense, an institute which was really early. I mean, he was way ahead of the curve with this technology. Then 1967, Andrew Mester discovers boss stimulation. He's from Hungary. And then in 1972, Thomas Doretti innervates PDT, which is photodynamic therapy, which I'm going to go into more here. And as Frank was talking about, Dr. John Art, very early innovator, he was one of the early innovators of understanding how important full spectrum light is for our health. He was a time-lapse photographer. And what he would do is take pictures. He knew the early pictures you saw of plant flowers blooming. That was all John Otts work. John noticed when he changed the lighting that the plants would bloom differently and sometimes not bloom at all. So he started to become aware, hey, something's going on here with this light. And so he created the first full spectrum light ball. He talked to all kinds of lighting manufacturers. Everybody's like. And finally, Philips worked with him to develop the first sunlight ball. And the sunlight bulb just has more of the visible radiation like you see here,
