Lars Körner: "I've talked to people in the past about how they healed their sleep problems (like sleep apnea, for example) when they went away from Germany to a more tropical place. Do you think that for cases of sleep apnea (or other sleep diseases) it's necessary to go?
Dr. Jack Kruse: "I think it's the easiest place, Lars, to do it outside. But the reason I want to tell this because I know the German audience will probably watch you. You're in the red light. You're doing something good to also help your sleep apnea, so let's explain it.
"A paper recently came out in the last year, that you guys probably have seen, that when you put red light on people it actually improves a lot of different effects. Remember I told you cytochrome C oxidase is what makes water and the water is actually what protects you. So, red light exposure is really important.
"Even though Germany doesn't have good latitude, what Germany does have, every morning and before the sun sets, even when it's bad time, red light is predominant in morning and sunset light. So guess what? If you are in Germany you need to use that light. You need to get up and you need to see it. I don't care if you're tired, I don't care if your job interferes. You need to change your schedule so that morning light you get.
"Now why does this work, Lars? This is the key. The paper that came out, you know what it showed? It reduces your blood glucose by 30%. What did I tell you about the Warburg shift? The Warburg shift raises glucose. […]
"Sunlight is 43% red. […]
"Your question is an excellent one. Excellent. Yes, I do believe going to places where there's more and better light is good for you. but I also think that you can use red light when you're in Germany […] to try to help these things. […]
"Is LED light that the red guys sell as good? No. Why isn't it good? […] Red light is LED, so it's very, very narrow wavelength. What did I tell you about cytochrome C? It has a very specific absorption and emission spectra. It turns out that that absorption emission spectra is bigger than LED lights can really give you. So while it's a help, it's not a panacea. And the other thing is, sunlight is unpolarized. All LED light is polarized. What else does LED light have? It has flicker. […]
"Here's the good news I'm going to tell you about the red light you have, Lars. There's a law called the Arndt-Schulz law, that's called the biphasic result. What does that mean? Small stimuli of red improves things in us. In other words, we do better with small samples than big samples.
"So your use of red light when you're in Germany, you have sleep apnea, you don't have to use it for a really long time. You also don't need to have high-intensity light either. […]
"Now do you understand why I say, 'Just get in the sun. The sun is TINA.' What does TINA stand for? There Is No Alternative. This is the reason why when people ask my opinion, 'Jack, what's the best red light to buy?' There is no better answer than, 'The sun.'
"What Benne is doing right now [being outside in El Salvador] actually answers your question. I think that that's the ultimate answer.
"And then here's the other side for you that I want you to know, that the more you do, the more the sleep apnea is, that means the more time you'll have to spend."
