Hi Hugh.

Thank you very much for devoting the time to put your posts together. This stuff is all new to me.

> Near-infrared light therapy (NILT) is showing a lot of promise. Most of the studies have dealt with its effect on stroke and TBI, but it's now being studied as a treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD. A clinic where a high-powered laser (9-13 watts, which penetrates at least 3 cm into the brain) is being used is Neuro-Laser Foundation in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.

> At this clinic, they sometimes use EEG and/or SPECT to look for dysfunctional areas of patients' brains, and then target those areas with near-infrared light. Their laser is being used in clinical trials conducted by Massachusetts General Hospital. The following quote is from a TBI study published last year:
>
> Patients noted improvement in cognitive function, mood, anxiety, and sleep. None of the patients continued to have suicidal thoughts (50% at baseline). Other symptoms, such as anxiety and irritability, were markedly improved. Most notable were the nonquantifiable changes in patients' lives. Patients reported improved cognitive ability and a desire to return to meaningful work. Five of the six unemployed patients have returned to work. The two patients who were Iraq/Afghanistan veterans have found new careers in highly skilled trades. The patients with marital difficulties have reconciled and were purchasing homes or otherwise solidifying their marriages. The clinical change can be attributed to NILT because no changes in medications, supplements, or exercise regimen were permitted during the course of NILT treatment.
