Shining Light on a Unique Blood Clot Solution

Blood clots can kill you… fast.

The location of the clot will determine your cause of death…

If it’s in the pulmonary artery—it’s a pulmonary embolism.

If it’s in the brain—it’s a stroke.

And one in the artery of the heart—is a heart attack.

Plenty of factors can increase your risk of a blood clot, but researchers have zeroed in on ONE therapy that can dramatically reduce your risk.

Blood clots occur when there’s an injury to the lining of a blood vessel. A clot forms to stop the bleeding.

If the clot doesn’t dissolve as it should, it can cause a dangerous blockage in a blood vessel or break off and travel to another part of your body.

Certain things can increase blood clot risk, such as inactivity, obesity, inflammatory conditions, heart disease, lung disease, and diabetes.

Regardless of the cause, there’s ONE solution that’s been proven to significantly reduce blood clots:

Light.

In a recent study, researchers exposed mice to either red, blue, or white light for 12 hours and then to darkness for 12 hours for three cycles.

They found that the mice exposed to red light had 5 times fewer blood clots than the other mice.

Next, they examined data on 10,000 patients who had cataract surgery who received either conventional lenses that transmitted the entire spectrum of light or lenses that filtered blue light.

Participants with cancer who wore blue-light filtering lenses had a significantly lower risk of blood clots.

Since cancer patients have nine times the risk of blood clots than the rest of us, this is a major finding.

Their last step was to find out how light impacts clot risk.

It turns out that the key is in the EYES.

In mice, exposing their eyes to red light is associated with less inflammation and reduced immune system activation.

The mice also experienced an increase in fatty acid production, which reduces platelet activation and, ultimately, clot formation.

There are two ways to expose yourself to more red light.

One is to buy a red-light device to use in your home. These machines have been shown to have remarkable health benefits beyond their impact on blood clots.

The second is to follow my standard advice and expose your eyes to the sunrise every morning. Or catch the sunset every night. Both will work since the sun’s angle at these times of the day allows more red light to reach the Earth.
