The wavelength is very important too. 808nm is damaging to the eyes for example, but has wound healing properties when applied directly to injuries[1]. This kind of stuff is a great example of the vast trove of interesting research that nobody outside the alt health world will ever do much with.

Most people in the health field don't know about a lot of it either. Unless they're a researcher, they just stick to the protocol on their Epic screen for the most part.

This is so sad but true. In my experience, most doctors learn approximately nothing after graduating medical school. The miracle of AI will be that it will replace these useless people.
