@Helios_Movement What meaning has CRI regarding blue light?

@yungkingmito What is your light protocol in the winter after sunset?

Your Light Gurus Are Clueless Parrots If you actually understood ‘escape physics’ you’d be terrified of how your lights trap you at night: the night sky is a cosmic cold sink that pulls heat, charge and infrared straight out of your skin and fascia. But the moment you step indoors you cut yourself off from that gradient and sit inside a sealed box where energy circles like stale air and your whole body stays in low-grade negotiation with the room. Incandescents, Edison bulbs, halogens, sauna lamps (anything with a scorching filament) aren’t “warm,” they’re IR cannons pressurising a cage and swapping them for ‘circadian-safe’ red or amber LEDs doesn’t win you anything… it just removes the burn while keeping the trap. Red light drags energy upward but gives it no exit, so it builds surface congestion, retina still reporting, skin still absorbing, fascia still bracing, your field pressed against four walls instead of bleeding into the cosmos the way biology evolved to. Night was designed as a clean thermodynamic escape into a cold, silent universe; fill your cave with soft red glow and all you’ve done is make the prison atmospheric.

@ze_rusty @RayandIrwin @sheaECS Thank you. I messaged you in DM about other models if you could help me

@ads_caduceus @RayandIrwin @sheaECS If it has a flicker meter, it's the new one.

Safe and Sound Pro II is one of the best RF meters out there (costs $400) but it only detects up to 5 GHz and their mmWave frequency range meter (costs $850) only starts at 20 GHz. There's a massive blind spot between those 2 meters Guess what fits right into that gap?

@ze_rusty @RayandIrwin @sheaECS Is this similar model ? EMRSS Cornet ED88TPlus 5G

@RayandIrwin @sheaECS This one is a little cheaper

@DrGrimmMD Opn5?

NIR is the one note nature keeps playing all day long. That’s by design. It slips through clouds, trees, even glass. But the orchestra changes with time: •At sunrise & sunset, NIR dominates. That’s the safe repair spectrum: EZ water expands, mitochondria build melatonin, vascular tone resets. •At midday, NIR is still there, but UV joins in. That combo makes vitamin D and nitric oxide, but it also carries the risk of overdose if you only chase that spectrum. •By evening, the UV fades out and NIR closes the loop, cooling inflammation and prepping circadian rest. So the study’s “two hours outside” isn’t just about quantity. It’s about catching the right ratios, UV as the spice, NIR as the base note. Easter Egg for field seekers: which opsin in the skin/gut is tuned specifically to UVA and uses it to reset circadian clocks beyond the eye? (Hint: it’s not melanopsin).

Two hours may be the minimum effective dose, but it’s not just about stacking minutes. It’s about when and what spectrum you catch. •Sunrise: sets circadian clocks, dopamine, POMC cascade •Midday: a micro-dose of UVB builds vitamin D and immune tolerance •Golden Hour: near-infrared penetrates deep, charges EZ water, supports mito-melatonin and vascular tone. The study Roger cited adjusted for physical activity—so the signal here isn’t “just go walk more.” The light itself is carrying information that the mitochondria translate into resilience. Easter Egg Hunt: which of these windows (sunrise, midday, golden hour) produces photons that don’t just energize, but also restructure water inside your cells? That’s the one that makes two hours outside more than a prescription, it makes it a repair protocol.

@RogerSeheult Great find

Well, you might say, what happens at the equator? Well, the sun doesn't go very far and so people never get too little sunlight. So no pattern really emerges: Singapore:

How is it possible that lack of sunlight could be a cause of autism? Well, how it is possible that lack of sunlight 1-3 weeks after the shortest day of the year would cause a spike in cardiac, respiratory, kidney, Alzheimers disease each and every year, and many of causes of natural deaths in the US and be at the lowest 1-3 weeks after the longest day of the year? All causes, every year.

@helios_brah How do you track it?

I just looked into my own data I had up to 6 (!) of these low-blood-oxygen, waking-up-in-panic-mode episodes PER NIGHT with my Sleep Apnea Average was around 2-3 per night Right now I still have them but theyre very different in the sense that I do wake up sometimes (prolly like 0.5 times per night average currently), but without the panic Im also tracking that on a daily basis Orange = sun exposure Grey = avg. waking episodes per night

@jack_schroder_ What about gray beard?

It's simple really. Dark hair = melanin Grey hair = no melanin Melanin is linked to bioenergetics, and both are linked to your redox status. Hair is somewhat an unnecessary tissue compared to vital organs. Low redox = hair loss/greying = whatever energy you have is shunted towards these more important tissues (liver, heart, brain, etc.) UVA/UVB light are the highest energy photons that we receive from sunlight and it not only builds melanin, enhances local blood flow via eNOS, - and most importantly, whenever you cover your head and skin, you're blocking the photoelectric effect, which converts solar energy into assimilated, usable electrical energy for your body to capitalize on. Put a blanket over your plants and let me know what happens.

@jack_schroder_ Not possible just to access this webinar?

@ads_caduceus It’s in my skool community :) Skool.com/healthoptimiza…

After spending the last 3 years learning and researching every single day, I realized that how you focus, manage distractions, organize/prepare, and apply what you learn matters just as much as the learning itself. It’s not enough to just collect information - you need systems and structure to actually stay focused, avoid burnout, and turn what you learn into real output. This new webinar is for those who want to go beyond the standard learning process and master the application side. HOW I MAXIMIZE PRODUCTIVITY & STAY FOCUSED // In this 30-minute webinar, I break down the exact tools, biohacks, habits, and mindset shifts I use to stay focused, retain more information, and do deep work every day - even with an ADHD brain like mine. I cover things like: - My daily workflow structure - Focus hacks that actually work (Timing technniques, analog/digital blending, playlists) - How I use note-taking apps, to-do lists + offline methods - Memory retention tools - Habit stacking in nature for deeper cognitive focus - Music, herbs, nootropics, and natural stimulants - How I protect my time, cut distractions, and maintain momentum It’s the second piece in the series after “How I Learn & Research Anything Fast.” If you want the full picture (learning, focus, execution) - it’s all inside.

@jack_schroder_ Great thread again! What role does DHA play in building and protecting myelin?

Sunlight exposure (UVA, UVB, NIR), coupled with darkness at night (absence of blue light/nnEMF), acts like neuroplasticity of melanocytes - leading to enhanced melanin production throughout the nervous system for electrical/magnetic currents, and biophotons/free radical quenching. Also interesting: melanocyte stem cells, derived from skin, can regenerate myelin sheaths in mice. And this may be possible in humans. In experiments, these melanocytic stem cells behaved like glial cells and formed myelin sheaths around neurons - a vital part of the nervous system linked to neurodegenerative disorders. Melanocytes are neural-crest derives that have the ability to migrate throughout the central, peripheral, and enteric nervous systems; including their products melanin granules, melanocores, and melanosomes. Oligodendrocytes are a type of glial cell found in the central nervous system that plays a major role in the myelination of the axons of neurons. Schwann cells do this in the peripheral nervous system. As you can see below, melanocytes and oligodendrocytes are extremely similar structurally. - Myelin also acts as a biophoton guide and generator (nodes of Ranvier), as well as a powerful semiconductor found alongside interfascial water for nerves. It also contains mitochondrial respiratory proteins to enhance ATP/H2O production. - Sleep allows for proton (H+) accumulation in this myelin sheath to become a secondary region of extracellular mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (proton gradient). The more myelin in one's brain means the less sleep you need. - Myelin allows for nerves to transmit impulses more rapidly, whilst limiting the loss of electrical signals by insulating the axon, reducing the capacitance and allowing the action potential (electrical) to travel faster. - Myelinated axons allow action potentials to jump from one Node of Ranvier (gaps in the myelin sheath) to another, this allows for extremely efficient neuronal communication. - Myelin aids in biophoton transmission, to communicate and repair the nervous system. Light is tens of millions faster at communication than action potentials, it is channelled via myelin axons and microtubules. - These biophotons range from UVA, UVB, UVC, visible, and IR-A light = 200nm-900nm light. There is a huge light show going on in our brain and myelin plays a huge role in making this process of signalling and timing operate with precision. - Melatonin, which is also made via daily sunlight and darkness at night, plays a role in promoting myelinogenesis. Tying it back to melanocytes, the best way to drive proliferation/differentiation is SUNLIGHT. It is literally neurogenesis/neuroplasticity to melanocytes. So lots of sunlight, in the form of UV, on top of optimizing nature's light-dark cycles; as artificial light/nnEMFs degrade and dysregulate melanin/melanocyte activity, whilst darkness aids in the proper migration of melanocytes, melanin, and melanosomes throughout our nervous system. Study: (journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…) Dysregulated alpha-MSH levels and low melatonin in MS patients:(tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.310…) Low vitamin D levels (proxy for sunlight/nnEMFs) in MS patients: (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…)

@Zenfrog4 Fantastic thread 👌🤝

So, to tie all this up into a nice little bow: Toxic buildup of vitamin A byproducts (like A2E dimers) damage your photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, leading to retinal degeneration. When the visual cycle becomes inefficient... The eyes rely on blue light exposure to stimulate dopamine production for photoreceptor repair mechanisms. This creates a feedback loop where increased blue light exposure creates a dependency... Making you forever a slave to blue light. Until you learn the science and say "Aight, Imma log out." Our eyes and mitochondria need red light. Screens don't have it, but guess who does? The sun. The solution is simple: get outside. 😎🐸🫶

You're addicted to screens but don't know why. Well, the science is here and it's pretty unsettling... Let's break it down🧵

@ze_rusty It works! Thanks Rusty

@impression_ists Thats how UV is seen

@getchroma 13.5 lbs

Did we say over 8x? Whoops, we meant 12.5x, that's the actual number. We custom CNC machined the prototype heatsink and are making a custom mold because no one else hits this. Guess the total weight of Sky Lamp (with base) closest and win a 25% discount on them upon launch.👇

@DrJackKruse Why/how does red light mitigates negative effect of blue light

Red light (IR) and purple (UV) frequencies in sunlight slow time down below the cell level. Cold temperatures are capable of also slowing time too but far less effective than UV/IRA light. Blue light speeds up time and you age faster so your life is lived like a blue straggler star in galaxies. Blue stars exist in a "quick and bright" way. They are the rock star of the cosmos; they burn brightly initially and die quickly. If you live in blu elight 24/7, which 95% do, youre going to get infertility, then chronic diseases, and, as a result, die sooner than you should like the blue star does. Over supplemented comes from being undereducated about light.

@jack_schroder_ Maybe a topic for a next thread :) Tnx!

@ads_caduceus Mitochondrial melatonin (infrared) vs. Ocular melatonin (uva) is different

LIGHT & SEX HORMONES All hormones are essentially signals that convey how your internal environment perceives the external one. Basically, they act like ferry boats of light from either solar radiation and/or endogenous biophotons to dictate what your biology needs to accomplish. Leptin acts circadianally, as well as vitamin A (retinoic acid) & thyroid hormone (T3), aid in sex hormone (testosterone, DHT, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA) at the hypothalamic/pituitary, & testicular/ovarian/adrenal level, respectively. This is where gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) sends signals from the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland, which then releases luteinizing hormone (LH) & follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), which then acts on the steroidogenic tissue to make steroid/sex hormones. Sex hormones in themselves, alongside cortisol, aldosterone, vasopressin, oxytocin, melatonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin, prolactin, opioids, nitric oxide, endocannabinoids, GABA, & glutamate can all have an influence on these pathways too. As well as a few others. Around 10-30 degrees above the horizon is where ultraviolet-A (UVA) starts to penetrate the atmosphere (latitude-dependent), this rise contains UVA, visible, & infrared (IR) light. Our eyes & skin pick up on this light energy/information to make sense of the chaos of our external environment, to dictate the biology of our internal environment—this requires our water networks, collagen-fascia, mitochondria, semiconductors, aromatic amino acids, chromophore/fluorophore proteins, & lipid bilayer of our membranes to be functioning well. This energy/information gets absorbed by all of these & then it's shuttled, transduced, modulated, transformed, amplified, filtered, and/or stored in your quantum system—being your biology. Our hypothalamus is just a few stops away from our retina, which provides that light energy/information to govern which, what, & how much hormones one needs to make for their current situation. Sunrise/AM light contains blue/visible & infrared without UV & this is where you start to drive the generation of coherent domain/EZ water, collagen synthesis, melatonin production, efficient oxygen utilization, as well as injecting your mitochondrial engines with high amounts of infrared photons, which then makes deuterium-depleted H2O, carbon dioxide (CO2), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), & endogenous biophotons. These all work hand-in-hand to control cell biology. It's also important to mention that the sunrise/AM light contains blue/visible & infrared without UV, so POMC cleavage is geared towards both ACTH/CLIP—which is perfectly suited for the morning. In contrast, artificial light/technology disrupt this pathway due to their sharp isolated blue light peaks, lacking IR & other colours in balance. which majorly disrupts this pathway. When the UVA arises, POMC can then start cleaving into other breakdown products like a-MSH, which forms melanin. This is also where you will see an increase in endothelial & neuronal nitric oxide synthase (eNOS/nNOS), this enhances blood flow/vasodilation & retrograde neurotransmitter signalling to also influence GnRH. Cholesterol is also a UV light chromophore which is the precursor to pregnenolone—this conversion is via cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc), which requires optimal mitochondrial function to allow for the molecular arrangement & hydroxylation of cholesterol, to form pregnenolone. This pregnenolone then leaves the mitochondria & interacts with cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes to further be processed into sex/steroid hormones, depending on the tissue. These CYP450 enzymes also happens to absorb UV/blue light from sunlight, & are destroyed by liberated vitamin A by constant exposure to blue light/nnEMF. They are also dependent on NADPH & FAD/FMN derived from the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), which requires glucose (thus, sodium, zinc & potassium), magnesium, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, & vitamin B3. They also require heme iron & molecular oxygen (thus vitamin A, copper/ceruloplasmin, zinc, glycine, histidine, B12, & B6). As shown below, we need T3 to increases LDL receptors on the cell membranes of steroidogenic tissues, provided it's not sulfated. As well as vitamin A—in the form of retinoic acid—to activate StAR protein, the shuttle bus of cholesterol into the mitochondria to make pregnenolone. It takes 11 molecules of oxygen to create one molecule of cholesterol, as well as several more to produce sex hormones—the latter can become impaired under hypoxic conditions, predominantly driven by a burden of fear, stress or trauma, artificial blue light/nnEMF, and/or malnutrition. Provided you are getting the correct environmental signals—being light-dark, grounding, cold/heat, etc.—on top of covering all bases regarding your physical & mental state (mindset, hydration, breathing, sleep, seasonal nutrition/functional foods, movement, connection, blood work/testing, supplementation if necessary), you will inevitably sculpt an extremely optimal hormone panel. The answer lies in your ability to copy nature across all aspects, in the modern world.
