Photobiomodulation for Alzheimer’s Disease Has the Light Dawned

" Although the pathological features of AD consisting of beta-amyloid plaques and tau tangles are well established, considerable debate exists concerning the genetic or lifestyle factors that predispose individuals to developing dementia. Photobiomodulation (PBM) describes the therapeutic use of red or near-infrared light to stimulate healing, relieve pain and inflammation, and prevent tissue from dying. In recent years PBM has been applied for a diverse range of brain disorders, frequently applied in a non-invasive manner by shining light on the head (transcranial PBM). The present review discusses the mechanisms of action of tPBM in the brain, and summarizes studies that have used tPBM to treat animal models of AD. The results of a limited number of clinical trials that have used tPBM to treat patients with AD and dementia are discussed." {Credits 1}

Various mechanism are discussed, and also mention water very close to specific biological surfaces (2-3 layers) as a receptor, this is equivalent to what happens in bigger water molecular formations of several hundred microns of width also attached/extending from surfaces [1][2][3]. Here a mention of water in the present document:
