- Are you having challenges with your memory?
- Do you find yourself saying – “Oh – I am just having a senior moments?”
There are thousands of 100 year old individuals who are just as sharp as twenty year olds attending Ivy League schools! Dementia does not necessarily go hand in hand with age.
I have always had lapses in memory since I was young. There is a therapy I have discovered that helps keep my mind and memory in top shape: Photobiomodulation Therapy or light therapy. After interviewing Dr. Lew Lim (the inventor of the Vielight Phtobiomodulation devices), I acquired a device of my own which I now use every 2 or 3 days.
Use of the device clears out the junk and debris that collects in the brain. My ability to track myself and remember what I need to remember sharpens considerably. It is like getting a regular oil change (if I were a car that is!)
My recommendation is to investigate Photobiomodulation Therapy if you are having any memory or dementia issues. I have sketched out below some of the research. A specific study is underway in Australia that uses Parkinson’s patients, but results have not yet been released. Â Â
Photobiomodulation Research
A 2017 study examined the effects of photobiomodulation  (PBM),  a light therapy that uses red or near-infrared light to heal and protect tissues, in five older adults with dementia, one of the symptoms of Parkinson’s.
After 12 weeks of treatment subjects showed significant improvements on the Cognitive Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale. With only five subjects, the effect sizes had to be huge for significance to  be shown.
Caregivers who kept daily journals tracking experiences of the research subjects reported participants had:
- Better sleep
- Fewer angry outbursts
- Decreased anxiety
Did Positive Results for Subjects Continue After Treatment was Suspended?
No. Precipitous declines were observed during the follow-up 4 week no-treatment period. Results suggest treatments need to continue for results to be sustained.

Nine of out Ten Users Retain Their DevicesÂ
Since my first interview with Vielight’s Dr. Lim, well over 100 persons have bought a Vielight Photobiomodulation device. The company offers an 80% refund if it does not offer the relief expected as long as the device is returned to the company within 6 months of purchase. Only 1 out of 10 users returned their devices, suggesting this is a therapy worth taking seriously.

Summary
There is no single therapy that helps everyone, but this one has a very good chance of helping most people. Anecdotal evidence suggests it also addresses Parkinson’s symptoms, but the research evidence remains forthcoming.
