Lighting Up the Brain: Dr. Lew Lim on Photobiomodulation for Parkinson's
Our inventions are actually based on the science of photobiomodulation. Our focus here in this discussion is about the brain. If you can deliver it correctly, like we do in our technology, you can have really good outcomes with diseases of the brain, both neurological and by way of neuro conditions such as Alzheimer's, even traumatic brain injuries, stroke- I'm actually hypothesizing here- even for Alzheimer's disease, Robert, you had one case.
Imagine a therapy that uses light to boost brain health. In this episode of 'Pathways to Parkinson's Relief', Robert Rodgers chats with Dr. Lew Lim, the mind behind Vielight's intranasal stimulation technology. Dr. Lim breaks down the science of photobiomodulation, explaining how light energy can reach the brain and potentially help those with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and other neurological issues. He dives into the mechanics of how this technology works, using specific wavelengths and power densities to stimulate cellular function.
The conversation also touches on promising results from clinical trials, showing improvements in sleep, mood, and cognitive function. Dr. Lim's insights are not just technical; he also shares real-world impacts and hopeful outcomes from ongoing studies. If you're curious about innovative treatments for neurological conditions, this episode sheds light on a fascinating new approach.
