tingeling Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Hi Lately i used this one with great success, can read a little here http://www2.valkee.com/uk/evidence/science/. Not saying it will help anyone else but for me it helps. It helps me wake up and fall asleep in a normal rhythm, instead of that Cluster vampire like rhythm. Everything that stimulates serotonin, melatonin levels could possibly help us. Anyways, maybe worth a try. Helps me PFWF me Tingeling Quote
RunawaySlim Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Hi Ting! Light through the ear canal?? Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I've been taking ZMA (zinc and magnesium supplement) before bed and it's absolutely amazing for getting a deep and powerful sleep ;D. I am out of cycle, so I don't know how it could help CH exactly, but for a great nights sleep it works amazing for me. Not sure if that's been discussed on here though. PF Wishes to You! Slim Quote
heilette Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Hi Tingeling! This sounds very interesting! At what time of the day do you have the treatment and for how long? 12 min? Missed you! heilette Quote
Tony Only Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I think I will give this one a go some time. Mostly for what it's made for (no daylight here in Finland too much..) but serotonin and melatonin activation surely would not hurt either. Thanks ting ! 8-) Quote
tingeling Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 I use ZMA as well, in shorter periods. Does something good, i agree Heilette, in the beginning i used it 12 min, now i use 6 min. I use it when i eat breakfast, around 7.30 in the morning. Hope your doing well They do treat migrain with this and have good results as well. Norway and Finland, none of us have much sun, so it`s good just for energy and mood elevation. CH steal energy as well so def worth it Quote
heilette Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks Ting Here in South Africa where have a lot of sun, especially now, it is very hot! But CH steals energy!! You are sooo wright!!! Heilette Quote
Tony Only Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I'm envious of your sun heilette 8-) If someone in Finland has seen the sun it is talk of the town for days. :-[ Quote
Ricardo Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Wow, this seems really cool. How does it work? Do they just put a light directly to you ear or do they have to insert a light into the actual ear canal? Any idea if it is a certain spectrum of light? This is really awesome that this is helping you...how often do you have it done? Quote
bumpsetspike Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 It's interesting stuff. Two things though: 1)Regarding the fmri study, intriguing as it is, I would be wary of trusting it too much. fMRI is very noisy and though appropriate statistical measures were taken, it seems, there is still some chance that the effect might be due to noise and random chance. 2) Regarding the SAD study, it is also an interesting study but the group sizes are small and it is not placebo-controlled (really hard to do with ligh therapy studies:) so it might be a placebo effect which is observed. Having said that, it IS a drastic decrease in depression scores and it definitely deserves more attention. Cool stuff! Quote
tingeling Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 It is a light you put into your ears, like reg earphone. I use it on a reg basis. Not sure about spectrum and lux, but reg daylight therapi has to be a certain spectrum so i guess this also is a special spectrum of light. Quote
blueballs Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 If they put light in my ear, I am pretty sure it would just come out the other side... Quote
