Episode Details

Did you know C60 can be beneficial for the health of dogs and other pets just like it is for humans? It should make sense, as, after all, our pet / family members have mitochondria just like us! I've personally been giving my german shepherd some BioC60 in the morning and evening with his meals. But now there is some interesting research demonstrating that C60 mixed in oil can significantly reduce the blood levels of CRP in dogs, which is a blood marker for inflammation.
In today's episode, I review that very study on C60 and also discuss how different types of oils (i.e., MCT oil vs. avocado oil vs. olive oil) allow for different concentration levels of C60. Do you know which oil allows for maximal C60 concentration? That same article also looks at C60 for skin health and demonstrates many ways that carbon 60 can augment our integumentary system.

I also review two photobiomodulation studies that are hot off the press and published this year: one that looks at how red light therapy can reduce the stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) by 30% and another that provides compelling evidence for red light therapy to reduce pain associated with dysmenorrhea.

Lastly, I cover a german​ article published last month that suggests that dysfunctional mitochondria may play a large role in individuals dealing with migraines. And if that is truly the case, it would make sense that methylene blue would have a major role to play by reversing the energy crisis caused by dysfunctional mitochondria
