Quantum Biology #5: Dr. Michael Hamblin
Dr. Michael Hamblin
Professor at Harvard and has published close to 300 papers, mostly on phototherapy. Michael R Hamblin Ph.D. is a Principal Investigator at Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, and an Associate Professor Harvard Medical School.

Below are a few interesting quotes I pulled out from my research into Dr. Michael Hamblin.
Q: How does LLLT work?
Absorption of Red and near-infrared photons.
Red = 600-700nm
Near Infrared = 780-1100/1200nm
- Photons are absorbed by chromophores in the mitochondria
- Nitric oxide increases
- Mitochondria changes that are good
- Signaling – from ROS, Non cAMP
- Burst of ROS
- cAMP from extra ATP
- Activates transcription factors to create new proteins
Light has effects days or weeks after.
- High-altitude light healing clinics up in the Alps
- The more watts, the more effects it will have, but there’s a limit of course,
- The upper limit of power density should be 100mw/centimeter…
