Danny Jones popularizes MyGreen Lamp
A Crisis in Reliable Health & Wellness Information
Distrust in the government institutions of health and wellness has never been higher, and consumers still don't know where to get reliable, honest information about how to improve their health and extend their lives. It seems like every time a popular medical doctor gains a following online, some scandalous, self-serving behavior is revealed that undermines their credibility.
Ironically, some of the best information about health and wellness is coming from comedians, and that might not be improving the public confidence. For example, if you want to hear conspiracy theories about secret, trillion-dollar underwater cities built by the CIA for aliens Danny Jones is your guy. He makes his living hosting guests who describe the most ridiculous, outrageous, spectacular conspiracy theories that YouTube will allow him to publish.
How could anyone possibly take any health information they hear on the Danny Jones podcast seriously?
Except that in science and medicine, some of the best ideas were derided and dismissed as crazy until they were proven by patients to be true.
Green light therapy is like that.
Phototherapy That Media Doesn't Talk About
Migraine headaches are a billion dollar a day problem in the United States. The drug costs, medical bills, and lost productivity associated with migraines is an enormous economic burden, which also means that it is a major profit center for drug companies selling pain relief medications.
You might think that if clinical trials at Harvard University and the University of Arizona demonstrated the effectiveness of a fast, effective therapy for relief from headache pain without drugs, that would be an enormous news story, right?
Except you'd be wrong.
The biggest green light story was probable a Time magazine article published in October 2022 that reported:
In a study presented Oct. 23 at the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists in New Orleans, Dr. Padma Gulur, vice chair of the department of anesthesiology at Duke University, reported on an experiment she conducted in which 34 fibromyalgia patients were assigned to wear tinted glasses of different shades, four hours per day for two weeks. Ten of the patients wore glasses with blue lenses, 12 wore clear ones, and another 12 wore green. At the end of the study period, the people who wore green glasses were four times likelier than those in either of the other two groups to report that their anxiety over their pain had declined, as had their reliance on opioids. - Jeffrey Kluger, Editor-at-Large, Time (2022)
None of the major wellness influencers you might know have talked about green light:
Not Andrew Huberman.
Not Paul Saladino.
Not Ben Greenfield.
Not Gary Brecka.
While it seems everyone is talking about red light, almost no one is talking about green.
