Book your high school athlete some red light therapy sessions now for peek proformance .
Red light therapy (RLT), or photobiomodulation, offers high school athletes significant advantages by enhancing cellular energy production and accelerating recovery from the physical stresses of intense training. By stimulating mitochondrial function, RLT increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, which fuels muscle repair and reduces the systemic inflammation that leads to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). A comprehensive review of 46 clinical trials involving over 1,000 participants confirmed that RLT can improve muscle strength, increase resistance to fatigue, and lower markers of muscle damage like creatine kinase. Furthermore, specific research into sports like soccer and volleyball has shown that pre-exercise RLT can extend time to exhaustion and increase total repetitions, while post-exercise applications can reduce recovery times for soft-tissue injuries by roughly 50%. This combination of performance enhancement and injury prevention makes it a valuable tool for young athletes aiming to maintain a rigorous training schedule without increasing their risk of burnout or overuse injuries.
Key Athletic Benefits of Red Light Therapy:
Muscle Recovery: Significantly reduces DOMS and clears metabolic waste products like lactate.
Performance Gains: Improves power output, endurance, and overall muscle strength when used as a pre-conditioning tool.
Injury Prevention: Strengthens connective tissues and speeds the healing of strains and tendon irritations.
Cellular Optimization: Boosts nitric oxide production to enhance oxygen delivery to active muscle groups.

Benadryl’s active ingredient, diphenhydramine, is now considered outdated and unsafe, with researchers urging that it be removed from over-the-counter use
The drug causes strong sedation, impaired memory, and slower reaction times, with studies showing it affects driving performance more than alcohol
Older adults face lingering grogginess for up to 18 hours, while children risk unpredictable reactions, including agitation, coma, or heart problems if overdosed
Other countries have already restricted access, and medical authorities warn against its use in children, highlighting safer alternatives and lifestyle strategies
Natural approaches like vitamin C, quercetin, whole foods, restorative sleep, and stress management help balance histamine and reduce allergy symptoms without dangerous side effects

Do you have a high school athlete. Did you know Olympic athletes use Red Light Therapy to improve their performance and recovery. Red light therapy offers several benefits for athletes, including enhanced muscle recovery, reduced inflammation and pain, and potential performance improvements. It works by stimulating cellular activity, particularly in the mitochondria, which increases ATP production for energy and promotes tissue repair. This can lead to faster healing from injuries, reduced muscle soreness, and increased endurance and strength.

Here's a more detailed look at the benefits:
1. Enhanced Muscle Recovery: Red light therapy can accelerate muscle recovery after intense workouts or injuries by boosting circulation and reducing1 inflammation. Increased blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues, facilitating faster repair. It also helps to reduce muscle soreness and stiffness, allowing athletes to return to training sooner.

2. Reduced Inflammation and Pain: Inflammation is a natural response to exercise and injury, but excessive inflammation can hinder recovery. Red light therapy can help modulate the inflammatory response, reducing pain and swelling associated with injuries like sprains, strains, and tendonitis.

3. Potential Performance Improvements:
By increasing ATP production, red light therapy can improve muscle function, strength, and endurance. This can translate to better athletic performance, allowing athletes to train harder and longer. Improved blood circulation also delivers more oxygen and nutrients to working muscles, further supporting performance.

4. Injury Prevention: Red light therapy can help prevent muscle damage and Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair. This can be particularly beneficial for athletes who frequently experience muscle soreness or are prone to injuries.

5. Other Benefits:
Red light therapy can also improve overall skin health and potentially aid in scar minimization.
Some studies suggest it may help regulate cortisol levels and improve sleep quality, which are important for athletes. In conclusion, red light therapy offers a range of benefits for athletes seeking to optimize their recovery, performance, and injury prevention strategies. It's a non-invasive and increasingly popular tool in the world of sports and fitness. If you have a soccer, Basketball, Tennis Football or any other sports player get them an appointment now to get them ready when practice begins.

Our wellness center has been doing Red Light Therapy for 3 months and let me share what our clients are saying:

"It has improved my mood so much. I feel happy all the time."
"My knees have stopped hurting and I tell everyone how it has helped.”
"My shoulder has improved. I am doing things again I thought I never would do again."
"I have so much energy, my fatigue is gone and I no longer take afternoon naps."
"I am sleeping so sound again.”
"My complexion is glowing and my acne is all gone. I just love it.”🌟💫🌈😊
"My sun spots on my face from years of sun bathing have faded away.”
"I had a knee injury from soccer and the light got me back on the field almost immediately."

These are just a few that we hear. If you would like to experience Red Light therapy for yourself, give us a call and let's get you started.

💉 mRNA Vaccines Linked to Genetic Changes That Can Cause Cancer, Autoimmune Disorders

📌 A peer-reviewed study by 19 German researchers links the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to long-term changes in genetic structures that can lead to the onset of cancer and autoimmune disorders.

➡️ Cross-post from The Defender

📝 Here's a new peer-reviewed study linking the Covid gene therapies with alterations to the body's immunological response, with this particular mechanism linked to brain tumours and leukemia. Worth a read. - World Council for Health.

NEW STUDY - PERSISTENT INFLAMMATORY MARKERS ONE YEAR FOLLOWING MRNA COVID INJECTIONS...

NEW STUDY: published in Immunity, Inflammation and Disease

Examined the impact of mRNA COVID-19 vaccination on cytokine profiles (inflammatory markers) in 84 Saudi subjects, focusing on long-term immune responses.

It found significant increases in various cytokines post-vaccination, suggesting PERSISTENT IMMUNE ACTIVATION WHICH COULD BE CONCERNING FOR INFLAMMATION AND AUTOIMMUNE RISKS

Average post vaccination follow up period - 14 months for adolescents; 13 months for adults

The study noted increases in pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL6, TNFα, and IL1β, which are linked to inflammation and potential autoimmune reactions.

It seems likely that men and older adults face higher risks of vaccine-induced inflammation, based on greater cytokine increases.

THE EVIDENCE LEANS TOWARDS MRNA VACCINES POSSIBLY TRIGGERING AUTO IMMUNE REACTIONS, ALTHOUGH THIS NEEDS MORE STUDY.

Men showed greater increases in IL6, IL4, and TNFα, suggesting a higher risk of inflammatory-related adverse effects. This is particularly concerning given reports of myocarditis and pericarditis, more common in young males, post-mRNA vaccination.

Older adults had more pronounced increases in several cytokines, which could exacerbate existing inflammatory conditions, especially given their higher baseline risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes.
