What You Need to Know About Red Light Therapy

How Exactly Does It Work? The body is subjected to low-wavelength red light during RLT treatment. The RLT treatment is a streamlined process that involves exposing the body to red light with a low wavelength. The process is also known by the name low-level laser light therapy; however, RLT is likely the more popular term. This red light is naturally occurring and can travel deep beneath the skin, allowing it to be absorbed by the cells and put to use. According to research, the mitochondria that are found in the cells of the skin can take in light particles. This may assist the cells in producing more adenosine triphosphate, which serves as the energy supply for every cell in the body. The possible […]

Common Misconceptions About Cancer

A Diagnosis of Cancer is a Certain Death Sentence Cancer is not an automatic cause of death.

It is also important to keep in mind that survival rates are highly variable depending on the specific type of cancer being treated. For instance, the five-year survival rate for testicular cancer in the United Kingdom is 98%, whereas the five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is only 1%.

Vitamin C is not going to help your immunity against Coronavirus, or is it? Vitamin C (aka ascorbic acid) is an unlikely vitamin supplement to help people fight off the common cold, let alone the Coronavirus. The dietary supplement was first recommended by Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling (American chemist, biochemist, a chemical engineer, nuclear activist and later author). Paulings 1970s claim advocated taking elevated doses of Vitamin C, as a cure-all for anything ranging from the common cold to preventing a wide range of cancer, heart disease, strokes, mental illness, old age, diabetes, arthritis, kidney disease and hepatitis. ?
