Red light therapy, does it work? So I've been thinking about investing in a red light to maximize my testicular UV exposure, however I'm slightly skeptical. Am I being meme'd?
Have Any of You Tried This?

So you're saying if I got a red heat lamp and shone it over my testicles it's the equivalent of steroids?
No, I dont need to since I just cruise on testosterone.
>red light
>expensive
lol I never pay over $20 a pop, stop getting jewels by outcalls and other marketing bullshit
Sunlight works too. Try it. And not just on balls get it on your back and chest as much as possible on your skin as much and often as you can without burning. Sunlight raises test and it’s free. Also makes you look and feel better.
Probably doesn't work on healthy males.

But if you do try it, check test levels before & after to make sure.
I don't know if it has any effects on testosterone, but my brother is researcher and an expert when it comes to light and all applications of light. He is absolutely convinced that red light has some sort of rejuvination effect on the body, so, maybe it's not that far fetched.
Interesting. Any sort of red light?
How about you just eat more garlic?

Great, another junk science meme.
it also works for beard growth
The reason why testicle hang out of the body is because they require a colder environment than body tempature to operate optimally, heating them is detrimental
no, I'm not saying it's as potent as juicing but it could help
best way to get test checked? Should I go to a clinic or can I order a testing kit?

This website has some good articles on the subject, as well as lights for sale
Sounds like another meme. But I remember having to sit in front of a red light as a kid because of my asthma or some shit. So maybe there's something to it.. probably just gonna give you testicular cancer tho.
Wow so they not only tell you how GREAT they are but they also SELL them to you? That’s awfully nice of them.
How do you do this without coming off as weird. I don't want to have friends or a potential gf over and have them witness my giant red light ball baking machine.

Why not just let your balls dangle in sunlight tho?

You guys deserve to get ripped off

The advantage of red light with an LED is that there’s little to no heat, which means you’re not frying your nuts and destroying fertility, which is a risk with exposing that area to sunlight
You don’t have to worry about that, you’re going to stay a virgin forever.
Wow Men's Health promoting a bullshit gimmick so they can rip-off a bunch of faggots who would do anything besides workout and eat.
Thank you for explaining user, but I sun my balls and really enjoy it desu.
>user is so desperate he's gonna kill himself just to get more test
What a load of bullshit
>Given that red & infrared light both enhance ATP production in mitochondria, according to the leading research in the field, it should come as no surprise that red/infrared wavelengths have been shown to boost testicular sperm production and viability of the sperm in various animal studies.
Human cells have 0(zero) chloroplast aka light energy receptors. Your mitochondria breaks down ATP chemically and light has no part in it
why u bulli?
Facts don't care about your feelings
>balls descend to remain cooler than body temperature in order to produce sperm
>Hurr let's heat them up with infrared light
You guys are retarded
Frotting is just as effective
i don't buy into this shit but that's not the point of the light you tard
you think because it's red it means it's extra hot?
radiation isn't the same thing as light
This, if anything you should be icing your nuts.
>t. Skin cancer patient
based, dose?
Are you fucking retarded?

Shit like this will prevent you from becoming a self actualized invididual. Just stop giving a fuck mate and do what you want
seems too ridiculous to be true.
Infrared light is heat my dude. This thread mentions exposure to infrared, red and UV which is the opposite end of the visible spectrum to the aforementioned wavelengths. I'm not reading the snake oil studies so I have no idea what the actual pseudoscience is
This is just some meme being shilled.
What are you implying? That this red “light” therapy is some sort of radiation?
Also radiation comes in 3 forms, alpha beta, and gamma. Alpha radiation is an expulsion of a helium atom from a nucleon, beta is an expulsion of a proton or electron, and gamma is an expulsion of a gamma ray aka high energy light. The radiation that is often referenced by people is gamma because it’s the most harmful.
>greenfield
For plants it is the red and to lesser extent the blue components of sunlight that facilitate photosynthesis. It would not suprise me if red light helps humans process vitiman D and other such. It is probrably just a case where people without enough sun exposure get benefits from further exposure to similar light wavelengths.
Retard logic dude. You don't necessarily need chloroplasts to use radiation as part of a body process. Remember Vitamin D? Look up how we get it from sunlight and report back.
All light is electromagnetic radiation science cuck

If you're still around I'd love to hear more
>everyone lives is countries that always have sun
whats it like being a mongoloid
You only need something like 5-10min of sunlight a day to get your daily dose of vit d. Unless it's a scorcher out, you ain't gonna get ski cancer
All of it is harmful, but alpha and beta can pretty much be ignored because they can't reliably penetrate skin. If you had a source of alpha radiation inside your cells you'd be fucked.
I’m doing red light exposure on skin and to treat soft tissue injuries from lifting/ other stuff. NASA developed this technology for treating injuries, so it is definitely legit
By the way op , red light isn’t UV, numbnuts, that’s the whole point. UV probably damages leydig cells aside from slightly boosting vitamin d and nitric oxide levels, so probably has a neutral to small positive effect on test levels overall. Sun exposure and red light exposure seem to be good for test levels. Sun exposure and UV lamps seem to be good for vitamin D and treating acne or other skin conditions involving microbes. Red light exposure (600-800nm) seems to be good for skin, collagen, wound repair, blood flow, and testosterone levels:
I mean to be fair a lot of science does until we finish figuring it out enough to explain why. Every thing being made up of infinitely small fucking orbs smashed together also sounds retarded but hey that's how it works.
let alone that the smallest shit just pops into existence when observed
science is literally more ridiculous sounding than magic
I got direct sunlight on my balls for a week straight and my test went through the roof (whiter cum, harder erections, vastly improved sex drive, higher energy) upped my estrogen up horribly and was having panic attacks for around a week after I stopped.
Why not just plant a needle in your ass instead? Might as well if you're going to jump through all these hoops test. At least it won't give your balls cancer.
>ski cancer
chuckled heartily
15min shirtless chest and 10min shirtless back actually. Staying for more at a time is unironically bad
red light wont cause cancer you dumb cunt
For real. I have to imagine if there is a God he never planned for us to actually look this hard at shit. Like a dev doesn't expect you to go outside the boundaries to see that that area over there is actually rendered at 1/10th the resolution of anything else.
The wave length is relevant in this context. Either way your body can't use radiation as an energy source, and short wavelength light will end up shredding your DNA leading to the formation of cancer.
>frogposter
>potential gf
O im laffin
This actually shows red and infared to be lower heat though
Srs? Sounds like you have estrogen overproduction issues
I havnt tried but I do wear a pointed paper hat to bed ever night.
I make a new hat ever day.
The paper is soaked in union juice and then left to dry.
once dry, the hat is constructed while listening to classical music. (this step can not me left out).
After the hat is ready I put it in the freezer for a week.
once the hat has cured for a week it is ready to improve your testosterone.
but dont wear the hat on your cock or your gf wont like giving blowjobs anymore.

>$10-$30 for a bulb depending on quality
>5 minutes a day
honestly what's to lose by trying? your already present skepticism will likely reduce any placebo.
If it sounds too good to be true... It probably fucking is.
After you fall for enough of these scam fads and pseudo science miracle treatments you really start to appreciate that almost anything worth doing for your physical and mental wellbeing is hard work. If it it takes effort, if it requires dedication and perspiration, it's probably the real deal.
Anyone comes up to you and says they've got the answer to all your problems and all you have to do is buy something... It's bullshit.
>never try to innovate nothing will ever improve
t. sub 100 IQ
imagine someone having this mentality when offered a polio vaccine lmao
>nah man can't be that easy man if God wanted me to not get polio He wouldn't have made polio man
I'm pissed that I didn't think of this.
Hey what do I know. Go ahead and blast your balls for all I care. It ain't gonna fix your life.
I'll see you back here in 6 months when the next bullshit fad drops.
There is nothing in your balls that can receive the light. Same thing with the earbud lights that were supposed to help with depression in the winters. Guess what. They didn't work.
Only your eyes can receive the light and it's effects.
False, why would nasa develop the technology of red light therapy to expedite wound healing in astronauts and utilize it if it didn’t actually work?
alright, see you then based retard
Back. I can only repeat what my brother told me, otherwise I have no clue about this.
He said that it's about the same effect like when you go into the sun and you feel really good afterwards. It's used to "activate" cells so they regenerate faster. The red light spectrum has to be about the same spectrum that the sun delivers. It's not about the generated heat but about the light itself that has positive effects on the skin and the underlying tissue. It can be used for pain treatment, to treat skin diseases and has other applications. He also told me that top athletes supposedly use this to regenerate faster.
Pic related is the device he gifted our mother for christmas. He said to use it for about 15-30 minutes on the body part that you want to target.
Pic 1/3
Also, it’s proven that skin is photosensitive in other regards too; nitric oxide production, vitamin D, melanin, etc.
Jesus Christ you people are fucking retarded. Literally "what is Vitamin D"
2/3
3/3
Lol
Because its facts. No girl will ever have sex with a loser like you.
How much was that array in USD?
I bought a 15x15 led array at 630 nm and it’s probably only about 20-60 watts, costed 35 dollars
About ~200 USD, I don't know where he got it from though.
Why not just sunbathe naked if you want sunlight/UV/vitamin D on your balls?
You don't always want the UV. Also it doesn't seem to be Vitamin D
Orrrrr we live in a simulation
We just had a thread about this the other day.
desuarchive.org
I tend to suspect that the author of that men's health article is experiencing a placebo effect. He said he immediately saw a huge boost in his sex drive the same day and by day three was surging with testosterone. The research I'm familiar with suggests that it takes at least 8 days to see even a marginal difference.
The way red light therapy is supposed to work is it is supposed to stimulate the production of new leydig cells. I am not a biologist and couldn't tell you how long that takes. But I don't see it happening in a single afternoon from one Joovv treatment. In fact, that article reads like an a paid advertisement. It seems like there is some fuckery afoot.
What about a diet full of onions and avoiding onions?
What do you think this thread is?
Just some dude trying to flog his crap. Someone will buy them though.
Schrodinger thought that quantum mechanics basically confirmed Vedanta, which is a Hindu philosophy that teaches that the world isn't real and is just a projection of your own consciousness. Sounds similar to observation somehow producing what is observed.
Not really how placebo works but still worth a try
Shitskins were based as fuck after all
auto correct is making you dumb and lazy
Allicin rich bulbs apparently contain a very unfortunate phytoestrogenic compound that, despite acting as a beneficial androgen or anti estrogen in most tissues, has the unfortunate downside of promoting attraction to transexuals
TLDR bulbs make you gay
>Lower wavelength equals less effects on the human body
So you ARE retarded
>Vedanta
You're thinking of Maya.
