Dopamine eye drops?

thinking abstractly....
 

I LOVE this!! I wonder at what frequency dopamine would calibrate at..and if there is a corresponding color/light frequency that could then be transmitted...
Thx Gerry!

Blue LED "SAD" light box?
 

It would be helpful if we knew what light wavelength was used in these tests. It could be anywhere between UV to infrared? Aren't there other reports showing that exposure to computer displays or fluorescent lights (bluish light) could lead to PD? If the available blue led, sad box light is the wavelength used in this report, it could be very helpful for those with PD. If anyone can find the wavelength they used, it could be useful.

frequency specificity
 

Well... I have learned through studying homeopathic principiles thatt what can cause a problelm in large doses can cure it in very small doses....

My infrared intranasal light is dual frequency (652nm/940nm) and tho effect is subtle I have been delaying my first dose of med in the morning an hour (ever vigilant for opportunities to reduce med)sometimes two hours and feel a deeper sense of calm. I really like it tho it doesn't corroborate the findings in their publication. having said that I also use blue spectrum light in the form of specially formulated sunglasses. perhaps time of day is also at issue here as natural light holds blue frequencies in morning red in afternoon or is it the opposite?

P.S. My earth pulse device that I use for sleeping oscillatees between two frequencies (also) https://earthpulse.net/

light and circadian rythyms
 

found an interesting if not useful article that answers my question in previous post: blue frequencies are more naturally (sun sourced) in the mornings- red in afternoon and evenings. I do love firelight !

sinemet and Glaucoma
 

[QUOTE=GerryW;1207896]Dopamine eye drops?

http://www.pharmiweb.com/pressreleas...0#.Vw7HajArKhc[/QUOT

About 4 years back, I was diagnosed with glaucoma and I suspected it had something to do with PD or the meds. At that time, I found very little information connecting PD and glaucoma. Quite recently, I found out that a connection exists. This warning is a new addition to the list of side effects of L-dopa.

"Patients with chronic wide-angle glaucoma may be treated cautiously with SINEMET provided the intraocular pressure is well-controlled and the patient is monitored carefully for changes in intraocular pressure during therapy"

I am not sure if dopamine would have the same effect as L-dopa.

light with dopamine drops?
 

"Using the eyes as a treatment pathway, scientists delivered minute amounts of dopamine and other medications to the eye. The treatments resulted in rapid symptom recovery in the animals. Subsequent studies delivering drugs that block dopamine made symptoms worse. Because dopamine in the eye is activated by light, researchers experimented by administering light to the animals’ eyes and found a two-fold improvement over medication.

yeah....I am wondering whether light alone can be as effective as the combination of dopamine w/light application......

- anyoone have ideas on how to formulate the dopamine eye drops?

"L-DOPA (1 mg/ml) was administered in drinking water containing 0.25% ascorbic acid in applicable experiments. Solutions were prepared fresh daily and shielded from light. Pregnant and nursing dams had ad libitum access to L-DOPA/ascorbate or to ascorbate alone as a vehicle control. After weaning, pups continued to receive L-DOPA and ascorbate for 1.5–2.5 months. Some mice were subsequently withdrawn from L-DOPA for 1 month before testing."
