Torontonians, how many of you caught the full-page article in the Toronto Star recently? If you missed it, here is the link again – Star article on MedicLights. The other person (other than myself) in the pic is Nathan of MaRS who wrote the article about our work with HIV+ people on the MaRS blog. Seems like too much attention is given by the article on the technology’s effect on allergies. I hope readers understand that that is just one of the minor conditions that intranasal light therapy can help when the body gets stimulated to restore homeostasis. But it is a nice condition to think about with all the sneezing I hear all around me.
Hopefully, intranasal light therapy catches the attention that it deserves in time to come. Many good things are happening with the users. Just the other day, I received feedback that a high blood pressure (HBP) patient has done away with his HBP medication! There are others who have brought their BP down but they never wanted to get started with medications to begin with. It’s the first time (that I know) of someone brave enough to drop his medication altogether. It also means that he does away with the side effects of the medication and saves a ton of money. Here’s more on how the technology works with HBP, along with supporting evidence.
Stay tuned to this blog. I’ll be talking about the new patent I’ve filed (it’s a big one), green lasers, stresses with business people, and other issues that have been posed to me that are worth sharing with others.

If you are using an ordinary tuntsgen filament lamp (preferably with a clear glass bulb) then a 150watt bulb will put out around 15watts of light in the visible range, a glass magnifying glass will not pass much infra-red so you really are comparing about 15 watts from this bulb with what you can get from sunlight(in the visible range) this is more than 800W per square metre.With a small glass, say 5cm diameter, you could focus about 1.5Watts power to a very small spot using sunlight (it comes in almost parallel from a very distant source).To get to half a kW per square meter at your magnifying glass you need to be much less than 5cms away from the filament of the 150Watt bulb and you can’t focus the filament image down to a spot at that range.
