40 Hz for Cognitive Decline

In episode 11 of the LETS Keep It Light Podcast, this is what was discussed that the client used, along with some information as to how to set this program up for yourself or loved one, with symptoms of cognitive decline.
What we have found to be extremely effective for cognitive health and restoration of normal brain function are three important technologies: Photobiomodulation, 40 hz Sound, 40 hz Light.
This means that in order to complete your home set up, you will need photobiomodulation pads to cover the entire head (but not the face), Sound in the form of 40 hz to listen to and 40 hz Light coming through visual cortex (eyes),
- Photobiomodulation (light therapy) is important for reducing inflammation in the brain, which is in part responsible for the dysfunction caused by tau proteins.
- The other technologies, to be used in conjunction with but not necessarily at the same time, both an audio and visual stimuli to dissolve the plaque (Tau Protein) in the brain that causes Alzheimers. For this we use 40 hz sound and 40 hz light. This is a concept discovered in the last 10 years that 40 hz frequency received auditorily and visually supports the production of a peptide to dissolve the Tau Protein.. So, not only is it important to reduce the cause, which is inflammation, it is also important to get rid of it.
How this is used within your own home is fluid. Most people use all three interventions at the same time twice a day. So, they sit down, put their light cap on their head and a light pad or other light device on their belly while listening to the 40 hz music, either with headphones or over a sound system, while the 40 hz light is on (blinking) in the same room (or clicking).
However, some people find it extremely beneficial for the sound and visual stimuli of the 40 hz to help them focus during the day and sleep better at night and that’s why they will listen to the music throughout the day.
Of course, it is important to use this method for someone in cognitive decline. But, remember, It is important to do something to track how things change using these 3 items because we can forget where we were when we started the program and therefore not realize how much we have improved. And yes, this all can be used prophylactically.
We need to emphasize a few things: that to begin this Light and sound therapy it is important to provide support to the person who is needing it. A person who really needs this cannot easily do this alone until they have used it daily for a few weeks. After that, they are usually able to do it by themselves.
For the purchase of the light therapy pads and cap, contact your Light Therapy representative. This is an educational site. We do not sell merchandise.
