[00:00 – 01:15] Part 1: Introduction — Near-Infrared Body Penetration, the Nature Study That Shook the Medical Community
Today we’d like to introduce a truly remarkable and startling research finding that has stunned the medical and scientific community. Published on July 8, 2025 in the prestigious journal Nature Scientific Reports, this paper explores the principle of near-infrared body penetration — how near-infrared light passes through the body, affects it systemically, and even improves eyesight.
[01:15 – 02:30] Part 2: Mitochondria, the Cell’s Engine, and Chronic Disease
So how can invisible light heal the entire body? The key secret lies in mitochondria — the energy powerhouse present in every single one of our cells. Most of the chronic modern diseases we experience as we age are actually caused by mitochondria failing to function properly. When a cell’s power plant shuts down, the cell can no longer produce energy, and instead releases oxidative stress as it begins to break down.
[02:30 – 03:45] Part 3: 8cm of Penetration — Nature’s Built-In Healing Power
Existing research had already established that infrared light can penetrate up to 8cm into the body’s soft tissue without causing any harm. Photos Dr. Bob Fosbury took of his own hand with an infrared camera clearly show the light passing straight through bone and tissue, stimulating blood flow. Even everyday clothing is no barrier to this near-infrared wavelength — fabric is roughly 100 times more transparent in the infrared range than in visible light, so this healing light reaches all the way to our internal organs even while we’re fully dressed.
[03:45 – 05:00] Part 4: The Body-Penetration Experiment — Light Passing Through Our Chest and Back
In this Nature paper, researchers had test subjects stand shirtless under the midday sun and attached precision light-measurement equipment to their bodies. The sunlight entering the chest measured 17 milliwatts per square centimeter — and after passing through roughly 30cm of chest bone, internal organs, and muscle, the researchers were able to precisely detect the faint light energy that emerged on the opposite side, at the back.
[05:00 – 06:15] Part 5: The Vision-Improvement Experiment — “Their Eyes Were Covered, Yet Their Eyesight Improved?”
We now know near-infrared light penetrates the body — but could it actually deliver a direct healing effect to organs or cells far from the point of exposure? To test this, researchers targeted the tissue in the human body that consumes the most energy and has the densest concentration of mitochondria: the retinal cells of the eye. That’s because when mitochondrial energy in the retina drops by 70% with age, the ability to distinguish colors declines sharply.
[06:15 – 07:00] Part 6: The Results — The ‘Abscopal’ Remote Healing Effect
The results stunned the scientific community. The control group, which received no light exposure and remained in darkness, showed no change in eyesight. But the group whose head and entire body were exposed to light showed a dramatic improvement in their ability to distinguish red from blue — their color vision.
[07:00 – 07:30] Part 7: Conclusion — The Hidden “Light Malnutrition” in Our Daily Lives, and the Solution
Near-infrared light is this powerful, this remarkable a source of healing. Yet modern life leaves us seriously deficient in it. Between white LED lighting designed purely for energy efficiency and window tinting that blocks infrared as unwanted “heat,” our cells are left in a chronic state of “light starvation” indoors — exposing us to premature aging and disease. LEDON’s NanoBion™ technology addresses this near-infrared deficiency through everyday lighting.
