Quick recap
Dr. Lewis presented the first part of a series on energy medicine, focusing on how different wavelengths of light interact with the human body. He explained the electromagnetic spectrum from UV to microwave radiation to radio waves, discussing how different light frequencies affect biological processes, including vitamin D production, circadian rhythms, and cellular function.
Dr. Lewis emphasized the importance of sunlight exposure and recommended using halogen lights as a substitute for natural sunlight, particularly for those living in northern latitudes during winter months. He also addressed misconceptions about microwave ovens, explaining that while they heat food quickly throughout, the main issue is their high intensity rather than the technology (energy) itself. The presentation included references to Richard Feynman's lectures on physics and health, and Dr. Lewis recommended viewers watch these videos for further understanding of the topics discussed.
His website - a "must watch" for people who want to better understand health, is called "The Feynman Way."
Summary
Feynman Physics Lectures Recommendation
Dr. Lewis recommended that Michael Carter watch Feynman's physics lectures, particularly one on cooking and food absorption, which Dr. Lewis plans to briefly present in an upcoming talk on microwaves. Dr. Lewis explained that while the content can be complex with heavy math, even listening to the more advanced material can provide practical insights. The conversation also touched on Dr. Lewis's observation that walking backward engages more brain activity than walking forward because of the additional cognitive demands of maintaining balance and sensory processing. It contributes to cognitive reserve.
Energy Medicine Discussion Overview
Dr. Lewis led a discussion on energy medicine, sharing his updated slide deck and emphasizing the importance of long-term, consistent practices such as sunlight exposure. He noted that while various energy technologies exist, the most effective way to harness solar energy remains through photosynthesis in plants. Marvin Berman, an energy medicine expert, joined the meeting and agreed to validate Dr. Lewis's comments during the presentation. The discussion began with technical details about energy conversion and photon frequencies before transitioning into the main energy medicine content.
Light Interaction with Human Body
Dr. Lewis discussed the spectrum of light and its interaction with the human body, emphasizing the importance of different wavelengths and their energy levels. He explained how photoreceptors and chromophores in the body interact with light, and how enzymes act as catalysts, lowering activation barriers for biological reactions. Dr. Lewis also highlighted the impact of temperature on reaction rates and the importance of proper digestion, suggesting that chewing food thoroughly and avoiding cold drinks with meals can improve digestion and absorption.
Digestion and Meal Preparation Guidelines
Dr. Lewis discussed the importance of proper digestion and meal preparation, emphasizing that dining well involves more than just the food itself; it also encompasses the process of eating. He recommended consuming warm beverages in small amounts with meals, avoiding raw foods, and incorporating fermented and cooked foods instead.
Dr. Lewis also highlighted the benefits of sunlight and red/near-infrared light for energy medicine, comparing their spectra to that of halogen lights.
Halogen Light and Vitamin D
Dr. Lewis discussed the benefits of halogen light for simulating sunlight, particularly for individuals in northern latitudes during winter, to help with mood and vitamin D production. He explained how different wavelengths of light affect chemical processes in the body, using UV light as an example of how it can excite electrons and facilitate the formation of chemical bonds, including the conversion of hydroxycholesterol to vitamin D. The discussion touched on the differences between UV and visible light in terms of their effects on biological molecules.
Photodynamic Therapy and Light Processing
Dr. Lewis explained the differences in how substances are processed in the skin versus in the liver, describing the liver as a "chemical manufacturing plant" that operates through oxidation and reduction processes. He discussed how different wavelengths of light affect biological systems, noting that light farther from the red end of the spectrum yields more potent effects in photodynamic therapy, with his team developing a molecule that absorbs at 636nm (orange) rather than 660nm (red) to achieve stronger tumor destruction. Dr. Lewis also explained how infrared light causes molecules to vibrate, creating heat that can accelerate chemical reactions and potentially be used for targeted tumor treatment through directed heating.
Microwave vs Infrared Cooking Differences
Dr. Lewis explained the differences between microwave and infrared cooking, emphasizing that while microwaves heat food faster due to higher intensity and deeper penetration, they are not inherently dangerous. In fact, microwave "light (aka waves)" pack LESS energy when compared to infrared light. He discussed how microwaves affect water molecules by exciting rotational motion rather than disrupting hydrogen bonds, and clarified that water's structure is restored once microwave energy is removed. Dr. Lewis concluded by highlighting the importance of sunlight exposure, noting that the human body naturally emits visible light due to chromophores and photoreceptors throughout the body, and recommended getting both morning blue light and evening red light exposure for optimal health.
Sunlight Exposure and Health Benefits
Dr. Lewis discussed the relationship between sunlight exposure and health, presenting data showing that areas with lower light intensity have higher all-cause mortality and cancer rates. He cited studies suggesting that moderate sun exposure may reduce melanoma risk, contrary to common fears about it. Dr. Lewis also explained his personal use of halogen lights for infrared therapy during winter months as an alternative to saunas, emphasizing the benefits of internal heating versus external warming.
Sun Exposure Health Benefits Discussion
Dr. Lewis discussed the benefits of sun exposure and surrogate sun systems, such as halogen bulbs and sauna spaces with incandescent lights, emphasizing their potential health benefits, particularly for those living in areas with high cancer mortality risk. Karen, an attendee, shared her experience using a sauna with incandescent lighting for winter wellness. The group also touched on topics such as HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) and bone broth recipes.
Be bold and brave. Fight the dogmas!
One caveat regarding the healthful qualities of natural sunlight: just how "natural" is the light we are receiving from the sun in these days of geoengineering/chemtrails? Is the modification of our atmosphere through the daily and ubiquitous spraying of metals, plastics and other micro & nano foreign materials modifying the frequencies of light from our sun source? One view, voiced by a vocal opponent of geoengineering, Dane Wigginton, notes that the spectrum of light now making it through the filters of geoengineering are tilted towards the UV-C spectrum which is harmful to all life. He should know, having been a solar power contractor who monitored levels of light frequencies for his installations daily before he began noticing worrisome trends in…
