Trials are about to commence in the US. If these are successful, they will try to come back to the UK and get licensed here.
Funding is too big a problem for this project. Lots of investors willing to fund post FDA approval, just not before.
This technology does work, the problem is you need to keep using it as the root cause of the neuro degenerative condition remains.
840 leds in 10 units, fan cooled, with timer etc. You wont build a sucessful one for cheap. IF and only if 1072nm gets the right financial backing, it may become available in the USA, but most likely never in the UK. 50 years after its discovery and we still are not putting it to the best use for those who need it, which btw does a wonderful job on Parkinsons.
Another sad occassion when a safe (7 years of led research) alternative to drugs gets sidelined.
