Can red light therapy actually help epilepsy or reduce seizures? After 7 years of researching PBM and going through my son’s epilepsy journey, I break down what the science really says, what we tried, and what I’d do differently.
I cover the lack of human clinical evidence, what current brain studies do show, the real risks (including photosensitivity), and why this is still very much experimental.
If you or a loved one is dealing with seizures, this is essential viewing before even considering red light therapy.
