If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

So I ended up purchasing the following light which arrived on Sunday: https://www.amazon.com/Aquarium-HIGROW-450-460nm-Indoor-Growing/dp/B075RYNP18/ref=sr_1_cc_4?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1539170574&sr=1-4-catcorr&keywords=blue+450+nm+light&refinements=p_n_srvg_2947266011%3A2972983011
Combined with a 20 dollar desk lamp and i am out 50 bucks for this wacky experiment. No harm done. I just hope i am using the right kind of light to match the experiment.
The changes to all the cytokine markers is pretty interesting in the article:
Cytokine | Basal | After 48 sessions GM-CSF (ng / mL) 5.854 0.735 INF-γ (ng / mL) 33.192 67.611 IL-4 (ng / mL) 8.768 28.872 IL-6 (ng / mL) 15.534 4.108 IL-10 (ng / mL) 35.516 39.634 IL-12 (ng / mL) 12.209 12.209 MCAF (ng / mL) 213.187 195.698 TNF-α (ng / mL) 14.3204 5.357
Almost like it has a biologic type of effect on inflammation. I wonder if it would come with the same biologic side effects.
There are 2 other tests linked to in the article that show it having a dramatic effect on RA as well.
I want to keep it to 3 times a week but I ended up doing it Sunday and Monday. I held off yesterday and I will try again today. I haven't really noticed anything so far and the chest issue i am dealing with really flared up last night. I am guessing the effect would only build up after long term use. The trial was for 12 weeks after all.
I shine the light on my neck from about 1.5 feet away for 30 minutes in the early afternoon. I use eye protection before turning the light on. The light does not get very warm and there is no burning, redness, or any effect on my skin. All seems harmless.
I am currently on no other treatment or diet right now. My AS symptoms only recently just returned in July.
This is probably the craziest thing i have tried so far but wouldn't it be nice if it were this simple?
