“Just A Light”
By James Clayton Roberts
Over the years, I have investigated and tried many, many methods for human improvement. On September 28, 2003, I began a new series of experiments. The results of those experiments have boggled my mind.
I have always thought that electromagnetic energy in some form would allow humankind to make a drastic leap in mental and emotional development. I finally found what I was looking for, and it caught me off guard. When I read of the use of infrared light to heal wounds, it caught my attention. As I understand the history of it, about 30 years ago lasers began to be used in surgery to cut and ablate tissue. It was noticed that wounds so produced healed much faster than those made with a knife. Eventually, someone had the idea to try IR at power levels lower than those needed to cut. The irradiation of diseased tissue with infrared produced healthy tissue, in short order, where the known and accepted tools of medicine had failed. This has included the treatment of pain.
Research in this field spread across the globe, and has spawned many terms: Low Level Laser Therapy, Monochromatic Infra Red Energy therapy, etc. Infrared has been used to treat, successfully, all sorts of tissue, from the pancreases of diabetics to the severed spinal cords of lab animals. One study demonstrated that IR exposure of the retinas protected them from methanol poisoning. In broad strokes, the effects that have been verified are: increased circulation caused by nitric oxide release and subsequent vasodilation, greater mitochondrial metabolism (the mitochondria is acell part that turns food into energy), rapid cell growth and more new cell division, an increase in RNA and DNA production, angiogenesis (the formation of new capillaries), the upregulation of four genes involved in tissue regeneration, and more, all positive. NASA is developing this for quick healing of astronauts in outer space, and for the growth of plants on long space missions.
In a short time I came to the conclusion that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try this on the brain. At first, I tried an array of 940 nanometer wavelength LEDs. As my research has focused on bettering humans through modulating activity in the cerebellum, I applied the IR light there for two minutes per day. The cerebellum midline, called the vermis, is the brain part most involved in the giving and receiving of affection, and direct electrical stimulation of the vermis has relieved various serious neurological and psychological pathologies involving irrational violence, fear and depression. After a time, I stopped because this seemed to reset my circadian rhythms, which was inconvenient, as I have reason to be awake all night.
For awhile, I looked for another answer. I had acquired a high-power infrared LED, a very unusual one. It looks like a TO-66 transistor, the active surface is 7/16 inch in diameter, and it has an output power of 170 milliwatts/Steradians. This LED has a wavelength of 880 nanometers. With nothing else spectacular going on at the time, I finally attached it to a power supply, and fitted it to an aluminum headband.
I duplicated the protocol I had used with the 940 nm array, two minutes per day over the cerebellum midline. Around a month later, I began to change. A transformative experience, one might call it. I began to do things that I had never done before, positive things. I became more organized. I seemed to have a great deal more will and motivation. For quite some time, I did not ascribe this to the infrared sessions. I thought perhaps it was the result of some supplement or something else I had been doing. As I continued, I noticed that I also began to have a feeling of profound well-being. Cognitive abilities increased. Memory recall, problem solving, creative thinking, eye-hand coordination, physical stamina, powers of visualization, sensory resolution and sensitivity, everything improved dramatically. I enjoy reading, music and movies so much more than I did.
When I finally did discern that it was the infrared causing these effects, it occurred to me that it would be useful to apply IR over the front of the brain also, and I began to use the LED between the eyebrows. Since then, I have spent much of my time in a state of balanced euphoria. The effects are so strongly positive, I have decided to make it my life’s work to disseminate this information, and to provide these devices to those who can’t, or don’t want to, build their own.
It is not important to me that anyone have me build a device for them, as I am sure I can sell as many as I can make by word of mouth. I strongly urge anybody and everybody to do this. Many have obtained the same setup I am using. Some have manifested the effects more quickly than I, the rest are catching up to that two-month period as I write this. Several have reported positive effects that I cannot mention here due to FDA regulations.
My mind is so clear and functions so well, I truly can not recall experiencing life in this manner at any point in the past. My vision, hearing, senses of smell and taste function as well as those of a healthy child. My father, who has began the brain sessions, has retired his reading glasses. I am rediscovering everything in life with an indescribable joy, a lust for life I have never had.
The device has positive effects when used over other parts of the body. In particular, application over the external sex organs in male and female subjects, including myself, produces enhanced sexual sensitivity and endurance. The brain sessions expand the enjoyment of that aspect of life beyond what I believed was possible.
In addition, sleep has become a pleasure again. I sleep more restfully and deeply than I have during my entire adult life. With occasional vivid dreams which resemble Out-Of-Body Experiences.
As with anything, there are cautions to be observed. The LED I am using cannot be used over the eyes. A camera can “see” infrared light, but our eyes can not. Using the device over the eyes can cause damage to one’s vision. In addition, use over the thyroid is prohibited by the fact that it produces thyroid over activity. Beyond that, the device can be used anywhere on the body. I have tried arrays of small LEDs at the same wavelength, 880 nm, which work well except for use over the brain. My theory is that there is something about the output power and geometry of the light output (120 degree beam angle) that makes this LED particularly amenable to use over the brain. I wish for this article to stimulate further research in this area.
As with devices I have developed in the past, although the infrared light, which I call the Euon (“Eu” meaning “good or normal” and “on” from “photon”), although it has it’s origins in medical research, I can’t, by law, offer it for the treatment or diagnosis of disease. So I don’t, because I have a strong desire to see this phenomenon investigated and expanded upon, not quelled and forgotten. I count my copy of the device as my most useful and valuable possession.
The device has been used by those with cardiac, neurological and psychological problems, without negative effects. It fulfills my every criteria: simple, cheap, easy, quick, safe, legal, but most of all, effective.
I have a yahoo group where I have posted about my experiments from the beginning, and where others are reporting their experiences: http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/magnetikon.
It seems to be necessary to get an adequate amount of sleep and proper nutrition in order to have the finest effects. A website is in the works, as is a FAQ. On that subject, one of the more common questions concerns how the device compares to an infrared sauna or heater. The answer to that is that FIR (far infra red) devices, like saunas, may help with detoxification, but to have the effects of the Euon, monochromatic (single wavelength) light seems necessary. FIR devices use longer wavelengths of infrared light, which do not resonate with the molecules that 880 nm light does.
