Strange when you mention infra red to the not so well informed, they think its like a heater that fries the brain and is red in colour. Nothing like people who jump to conclusions, a little information is a dangerous thing for some lol. I have converted mine to an adjustable head size version of my own design, I have donated the design to Quiet Mind Foundation to wish them well, so fits most people. Here we are in 2012, with a 50 year old technology, which very safe and drug free, has a great potential with further developments, and since 2005 we have only come a little forward due to lack of investment funding. Don't hold your breath, may be a very long time before this is ever on the market, lucky enough medical grade LED technology will be much cheaper by then hopefully. Some may find it interesting to know that this freq occurs in natural sunlight, just not enough of it Mine is in a box in the roof space, gathering dust now. |

How are any of you people doing with your handmade helmets?
It's been a few years. How are the treatments going? |

A change from 12 to 19 on MMSE is a profound change indeed.Congratulations. I've been planning to build a helmet for my wife's Mild Cognitive Impairment but recently came across an article by Dr Rowen about using a single LED with a wavelength of 810 nm that is positioned to shine up one nostril, where access to the brain is through a bone much thinner than that of the skull. A U.S. company Vielight makes such a device designed to pulse at 10 Hz. Cost is around $500. However the LED costs about $3.50 online and the pulser circuit using a 7555 i.c. costs less than $5 in parts so I'm building one. Dr. Rowen's article on the Chinese research can be found at mediclight or google search The device is used for 25 minutes once per day. Green tea has been found to greatly augments its effect. A similar intranasal device but using an LED of 630nm can be found on ebay. An Israeli company sells one for around $50, the Chinese version "Ostone" is about $20. I suspect both are made in the same Chinese factory. Each has a 5 minute timer but does not pulse. This device is designed to maximize production of the signaling molecule Nitric Oxide in the nasal membranes contributing to dilation of blood vessels throughout the body. I expect to have the device built in the next week and will report the results. |

The only place I saw that sells 1072 wave lenght devices for a resonalble 'human' price is Cure Zone Ltd in Canada - you can contact them for a quote. They don't make the helmets but make LED arrays which you hold.
Just google Cure Zone Ltd to find them. I don't know if they ship to US or not. People that claim that just single LED's of 1072nm cost hundreds each might not be truthfull as the price seemed much much lower at that Canadian online store. Hope that helps |

Hi John and everyone,
There is another avenue that is less expensive and produces results like the 1072nm lights. I refer to Quantum Devices NIR lights developed for NASA with DARPA funding. They are located in WI. There is research being conducted using 670nm for Parkinson's. My mother has Alzheimer's and we have been using the 670nm light on her with noticeable improvements. If we would have had this technology 10 years ago it would have been much better. It seems that reversing the effects of the disease is more profound if the treatment can be started close to the time of diagnosis. If you go to Quantum Devices page on LED things there is a large amount of clinical research info about NIR light. Larry Quote:

I want to make a helmet for my mother who has Alzheimer's. I read in the patent that Dr. Dougal wrote for his device that laser diodes with a frequency of 1064nm could be substituted. Perhaps more affordable? I haven't looked for a source yet.
Has anyone found any of the infrared LEDs at an affordable price? |

** People seem to have a hangup with the 1072 nm frequency, rather what you need is infrared, and not an exact frequency. The part above is priced at 100 LEDs @$30, or 500 LEDs @$100. You can even buy 1 LED at $0.55. I've already may some devices. |
