ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for light therapy, which is a method using light for treating diseases and/or maintaining the health of a living organism. The method comprises delivering a light modulated at a specific frequency and intensity for a specified duration to the whole body or a portion of the body of the living organism. Disclosed herein are different sequences of light therapy useful for assisting the recovery from e.g., disease, injury, or malfunction. The improvement in health of the living organism after each treatment is observed. If necessary to increase the improvement in health, the sequence of light may be repeated in one session (such as two back-to-back sequences of treatment in one sitting in one day), and/or the organism may be treated over a period of time, such as receiving the sequence of light every 3 to 5 days, etc., until improvement is observed, the health problem is resolved, or a sense of improved well being is experienced by the treated organism. The living organism is preferably an animal, and is more preferably a human. Also described are devices and electronic systems for delivering such light therapy. Further described are methods for optimizing the light therapy. An electronic circuit supplies and controls timing, repetition rate, intensity and application of the light.
