The Invisible Rainbow, Pt. 2
Thursday Aug 17, 2023
Thursday Aug 17, 2023
Welcome to another captivating episode of The Red Light Report. In this installment, we once again delve into the profound realm of electrical health and its intricate ties to our modern lifestyle via the remarkable book, The Invisible Rainbow, by Arthur Firstenberg. Brace yourself for a riveting exploration of how our world saturated with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) challenges traditional notions of diet and exercise. Join us as we navigate the EMF "ocean", unearthing the captivating connection between earthing and EMFs, all while emphasizing the vital importance of addressing our body's foundational "motor" to attain holistic well-being.
Embark on an illuminating journey through history as we uncover the symphony of symptoms stemming from our electrified environment. Together, we'll unravel the intricate dance between electricity and mitochondria, those cellular powerhouses driving our vitality. Discover the fascinating intersection of Soviet research, the electron transport chain, and the irritable heart condition that echoed through the civil war era. Our expedition traverses time, touching on World War II's radar technology and its lasting impact on our relationship with EMFs.
Prepare to be astonished as we delve into the enigmatic territory of "chronic fatigue syndrome" and decipher the perplexing correlation between cell phone radiation and the plight of our precious bees. Uncover the startling truth behind oxygen deprivation in patients, while we shine a light on the harrowing rural disease landscape across states. Speculation intertwines with facts as we navigate the complex web of heart disease, electrification, and its reverberations throughout history. Join us in this enthralling episode as we shed light on the rising tide of heart-related chest pain and the mysteries that continue to shape our electrified world.

The Invisible Rainbow, Pt. 1
Thursday Aug 10, 2023
Thursday Aug 10, 2023
This week we will take a dive into the world of invisible light and its impact on our health. And I'm not talking about infrared light, the wavelength we associate with red light therapy that has positive health benefits; but, rather, the other invisible light that makes up over 99% of the electromagnetic spectrum. In his book, The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life, Arthur Firstenberg chronicles the impact that the evolution of electricity, radiation and non-native electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) has had on the health of humans and animals since its inception in the late 19th century.
This well-written and strongly-cited book by Firstenberg makes a very strong case that the vast majority of health maladies and diseases of the last couple of centuries are actually directly tied to electricity and the iterations of that technology (i.e., the electrical power grid, radio waves, telecommunication, wireless technology, advancements from 3G to 4G to 5G, etc.) versus the paradigm, which we are all too familiar with, of exercise and diet.
This book has completely transformed my perception of electricity, the advancement of any technology and its indisputable negative impact on our health. In a nutshell, any human-made, non-native EMF causes metabolic disease, which is tantamount to saying it causes mitochondrial dysfunction. Based on the information presented in the book, provided you are a health conscious individual, you quickly realize you need to start prioritizing EMF-mitigating tactics over diet/exercise tactics. I am not saying you need to get rid of one to include the other, but rather that you can't out-exercise or out-diet/out-supplement dysfunctional mitochondria; you need a strong motor (i.e. mitochondria) before you can get the benefits from the fuel (i.e. diet and exercise).
In this episode, I cover one of the more profound chapters, Irritable Heart, in the sense that it clearly demonstrates the impact of electrical technology through various eras and how it has been a silent killer for countless cardiac conditions. In my opinion, 5G is further perpetuating and accelerating the issues outlined in this chapter. I hope you find this information as profound and paradigm-shifting as I do — knowledge is truly power. As always, light up your health (with EMFs from the earth/nature and sunlight)!

With the first article we will uncover fluoride's impact on mitochondrial health. If you remember from the last couple of episode's from Dr. Jerry Tennant's book, fluoride is an electron stealer and lowers your voltage (hint hint!).
The second article looks at periocular skin health (i.e. skin around the eyes) and compares amber light versus red light in their abilities to decrease wrinkles. It turns out they are both great at doing so, but which one is superior?
The last article looks at treating rotator cuff arthroscopic repair with red light therapy; specifically, self-treatment with lasers! It turns out, people are more than capable of accelerating their own recovery and rehab when given the proper tools and education. The protocol provided was also quite interesting and comprehensive, which is great to see from the research.

Healing is Voltage, Pt. 2
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
Dr. Tennant also discusses why removing hydrogenated oils from your diet is a non-negotiable, as the dangers of trans fats have a strong correlation to obesity and overall health. He also explores the wisdom of acupuncture meridians and their impact on well-being that provides a new perspective on the interconnectedness of our organs and the role of energy flow.
Lastly, Dr. Tennant unravels the profound relationship between acupuncture and yin/yang organs and further shows us how our entire body is a massive circuit and battery with tesla coils related to all of our organs; the end result is that it explains how all disease/cancer can be traced directly back to any area of low voltage that correlates to that tissue/organ. When the dots are connected, it is mind-expanding.

Healing is Voltage, Pt. 1

So that begs the questions: how do we stay in the -20 to -25 millivolts range? What causes our cells to go above or below that and how to we return to that range? How does this ultimately affect our tissues, organs and body systems? What lifestyle habits pull us out of that range and what lifestyle habits can we adopt to stay in that range effortlessly? What about diet? What about medications? How do you measure it? This is all just the tip of the iceberg, as it relates to the book. But I will keep it simple and just stick to one chapter in the book to give you a taste of this paradigm-shifting information.
Dr. Tennant has compiled relatively simple, yet profound information in the 550-page "handbook" that is just lurking in the archives of Amazon — just sitting there waiting to be read and applied to one's life. Why this information is not more prevalent and, in a perfect world, taught in school? Well, that's the beauty of this podcast. I can at least share it with you all and hopefully that begins a snowball effect to get this information spread to more and more people.
