Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Red light therapy, specifically Near Infrared Light on my lungs as it works so well that I was able to stop my 45+ years of daily asthma meds. Incredible.

How do you do RLT for your lungs?

Heavy breathing in a red-light district.

I have a small RTL panel that I put into NIR mode (not red) and place it on my chest, sides and back to cover all areas of my lungs. Super effective with a growing body of evidence for it use.

Ah yes, the testicle tanning.

Well, it would not be with Red Light panels as they do not put our UV light, but you can use the NIR light to increase testosterone but it is not much of a boost.

The "tanning" is just a silly nickname, it was specifically about red-light therapy.

Anyway, I'll stay away from that until the come up with some evidence it actually does anything.
