The illustrations in this July, 2008 story in the London Daily Mail appear to show a different way of keeping the LEDs close to the head...with the gaps, not so much like a helmut anymore.

It will be interesting to follow this patient's progress.






This $2000 projector doesn't cite any clinical benefit for the money but tries to capitalize on the buzz from the original reports.

can anyone give a simple guide which led should i buy, this infrared therapy its my last hope for my father...

The Patent application mentions someone with PD who improved somewhat...

There is an Infrared LIght Helmet made in USA that uses the 1070 nm infrared lights. There is an Alternative Healing clinic that has one and she bought it over the internet!

Did you finished the experiment because i am going to do that wich 15 led 1070 and 680 940nm my mother she is suffering dementia i do have background in electronic so maybe you can teld me about your proyect

For information

Having elderly relative just diagnosed with early stages of dementia, I decided to call Restorelite, to see where they are with this device.

Apparently, red tape in the UK was delaying the clinical trials, and the cost of going through the trials was escalting, so they halted the process.

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.

Last year when I was in China for a major medical devices show I saw the helmet similar as you described. It seems to me devices (from China) are much easier to have CE label than 510K here if required...
