(Natural News) Depression is a serious medical condition that can greatly hurt your relationships, work and physical health. Also called major depressive disorder, it is a mood disorder that causes feelings of sadness, loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed, changes in appetite, trouble sleeping or oversleeping, and loss of energy, among other things. Depression […]

(Natural News) Current studies on brain science affirm that light can stimulate brain cells (neurons). This general field and technique is called optogenetics and scientists use it to better understand the neural connections, electrical impulses and chemical signals that occur in the brain. In 2019, Shuo Chen, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California in […]

(Natural News) Can light restore vision to blind people and help treat paralysis in patients with Parkinson’s disease? German researchers have recently examined the possibility of stimulating light-sensitive proteins to achieve therapeutic effects on various health conditions. Optogenetics is a technique that manages processes in the brain through light-based stimulation. It achieves its effects through […]

(Natural News) Researchers believe they have found a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Animal tests show that exposing mice to light flashes and sound pulses at the frequency of 40 hertz can reverse some of the symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease. Alzheimer’s disease continues to defy any attempt at treating it. Several pharmaceutical drugs help regulate […]

(Natural News) Many people suffering from depression rely on their prescribed antidepressant drugs, which have been proven to cause adverse effects and are only making them more sick than ever. If you’re looking for an effective treatment for depressive symptoms without the frightening side effects, look no further than these five natural antidepressants. Cognitive Behavioral […]

(Natural News) For men, particularly those who are getting on in years, the fear of getting prostate cancer looms large. With prostate cancer being the second most common cancer for men in the United States, and with over 160,000 new diagnoses each year, their fears are certainly not groundless. Although the prognosis for men diagnosed […]

(Natural News) A recent study carried out by a team of researchers at Rice University in Houston, Texas has revealed that a relatively low-cost light therapy may help effectively eliminate amyloid beta proteins, which are precursors to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease onset. It has long been established that beta amyloid accumulation results in the development […]

(Natural News) A randomized controlled clinical trial displayed the efficacy of bright light therapy in improving the sleeping quality and patterns of cancer patients. The team from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine say that their pilot study suggests an inexpensive and safe way for fatigued recovering cancer patients to sleep better. The goal of […]

(Natural News) Even though at least one in three people will develop shingles, or herpes zoster, in their lifetime, there are only a handful of effective remedies for the viral disease. A person develops shingles when latent varicella-zoster/chickenpox virus reactivates along the sensory nerves in the skin. The symptoms of shingles include painful blisters that last for about […]

(Natural News) A new field of medical science is emerging from six universities and five partner organizations in Europe. The POLYTHEA project, coordinated at the University of Limoges, aims to train doctorate candidates in the field of photodynamic treatments. Researchers are learning how to develop active light compounds that fight cancer and microbial infections. The […]
