The speaker states he was diagnosed with macular degeneration and told it would likely worsen, potentially leading to blindness. Dissatisfied, he created supplements, including Doctor Joe's Supergreens, Essential Source, and nitric oxide, to provide nutrients aimed at reversing the condition, despite being told it was irreversible. Years later, the speaker's eye doctor was surprised to find his macular degeneration improving, a phenomenon he claimed never to have witnessed before. The speaker reports that his condition continues to improve annually. Pictures of his eyes are available on his website, doctorjo.com. He shares this personal story to illustrate how nutrition, chiropractic care, proper food, and supplements can improve health conditions. While not everyone experiences improvement, the speaker advocates for addressing the root cause of health problems rather than merely treating symptoms and encourages those with health issues to seek help.

Exposing yourself to sunlight can naturally heal your body, but many people are unaware of this phenomenon. Unfortunately, we have become afraid of the sun due to the introduction of sunglasses, which have been linked to an increase in cancer cases. Sunglasses filter out certain rays of the sun that are essential for our bodies. The pineal gland, which receives sunlight, needs the full spectrum of light to function properly. Our lens breaks down white light into seven colors, which are encoded with chemicals in the pineal gland and then distributed to different parts of the body for basic metabolic processes.

Red light therapy, or photobiomodulation, is described as the body responding to light it is biologically designed to respond to, especially red light and near-infrared light. Jonathan Otto explains that the technology has historical roots, with Nobel Prize context in 1903 for light therapy (Niels Ryberg Finsen) and early work by John Harvey Kellogg; red light therapy as known today was advanced by Andre Mester in the 1960s and further developed with LED technology funded by NASA, enabling high power delivery with minimal heat. Key evidence and claims: - In major clinical studies, red light therapy is being explored as an alternative or adjunct to palliative chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery in cancer. The Lancet Oncology published a trial with 413 men in which the red light group did almost 400% better than the non-red-light group; only 6% in the red light group required surgery versus 30% in the non-red light group, a claimed 500% difference in that aspect. - In a lymphoma pilot study (PubMed, 2006), three patients achieved complete remission within a week after photodynamic therapy with methylene blue, with no side effects reported and pain easily managed. - University College London conducted studies showing 49% remission in a red-light group versus 13.5% in a non-red-light group in a prostate cancer context when combined with a photosensitizer; separate eyesight research with 6, seven 0-nanometer parameters demonstrated immediate improvements, with larger long-term effects reported in various other conditions. - Red light therapy is claimed to impact a broad range of conditions: eyes (macular health, myopia in children), autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, autoimmune thyroiditis), hair loss (androgenic alopecia), skin conditions (acne, eczema, psoriasis), chronic pain (arthritis, back pain), depression and anxiety (rapid improvements noted within hours in some studies), and post-stroke or neurodegenerative conditions (mood, cognitive function, overall energy). - Specific eye-related findings include a large trial where 41 clinical trials in children showed the therapy stopped vision worsening in many cases; in the UCL eyesight study, 70–80% near-infrared penetration targets deeper tissues, with evidence of rapid improvements in vision when light was delivered in the morning or near the eyes at 670 nm in LED form. - In thyroid and metabolic contexts, there are reports of thyroid medication reduction and remission in chronic autoimmune thyroiditis with certain dosing regimens (e.g., 20 minutes twice a week for five weeks in a trial cited), and a Hashimoto’s thyroiditis study showing substantial medication reduction. - Hair growth is reported to respond to red light therapy due to stimulation of hair follicles and scalp stem cells; anecdotal reports include improved hair density and delayed graying in some individuals. - The therapy is claimed to affect fat loss via photonic lipolysis and to modulate mitochondrial function, with mitochondrial chromophores described as light receptors in about 25% of cellular organ content, generating reactive oxygen species and ATP to drive cellular energy. - A long-COVID study by the European Society of Medicine reported four sessions of 64–84 minutes each yielding total remission of all symptoms in 60 of 62 participants within one week; two others improved with the same protocol. - Dosing guidance and safety: thousands to millions treated with red light therapy have reported minimal adverse effects; overexposure can occur, but the majority of clinical experience indicates a favorable safety profile; a dark period and sleep in darkness are noted as important to maximize benefits. - Delivery devices: panels that deliver broad-spectrum light (including multiple wavelengths such as 630 nm, 660 nm, 670 nm, 810–860 nm, 1060 nm) are preferred for broad organ coverage and deeper tissue penetration; these devices aim to deliver high irradiance (e.g., over 200 milliwatts per square centimeter at about three inches) to accelerate healing and support whole-body photobiomodulation. - Practical use: exposure parameters vary by condition, with some studies showing immediate or rapid improvements (e.g., eyesight within 24 hours in some trials; depression or anxiety improvements within hours; autoimmune symptoms over weeks), while others report improvements sustained for months if therapy is continued, though some benefits persist beyond cessation in certain conditions. Historical and practical context: - The interview frames red light therapy as a natural, noninvasive modality that aligns with the body’s use of light for healing, contrasts it with more invasive conventional therapies, and positions it as having broad clinical study support across multiple journals (including The Lancet Oncology, British Medical Journal, and other major journals). It’s presented as a scientifically backed, broadly applicable therapy that can be used at home with high-quality devices. Applications mentioned: - Cancer and tumor-targeted approaches (photodynamic therapy), eyes and vision, autoimmune thyroid disease, skin conditions, hair growth, wound and tissue healing, pain and inflammation, mood disorders, long COVID, and metabolic effects such as fat reduction and thyroid regulation.

Yellow eyes, that is a jaundice situation. It's a liver problem. It could be a gallbladder problem where the byproducts of your red blood cells are backing up through the system, through the liver, and into the blood. And so if your skin or your whites of your eyes are yellow, that is definitely a backup of the liver and the gallbladder. And that is usually a deficiency of bile salts. Bile salts allow the flow of stuff through the liver and through the bile ducts. And if you don't have enough bile, this thickened cholesterol sludge tends to back up and you develop these white eyes. So a simple remedy would be to take some purified bile salts to open up this kind of clogged drain plug to allow the body to eliminate the byproduct of red blood cells.

To improve vision and address eye problems like floaters and pressure, it is important to focus on the lymphatic system. A high fruit diet, particularly berries, helps to liquefy and move the lymphatic system. The liver and kidneys also play a crucial role in eyesight, so it is important to take care of them. Cleaning the head of excess mucus, using an eyesight formula, and cleansing the entire body, including the gut, are recommended. Additionally, practicing Qigong tapping around the eyes and using sound frequencies can promote healing. Special eye exercises, such as the Bates method, can also strengthen eye muscles and improve eyesight. It is possible to heal the eyes with these approaches.

A series of testimonials claim that pearl powder can improve various vision issues. A friend in the UK reportedly saw their eyesight improve from plus four to plus 3.5, and their eye professional was amazed. Another account describes an 88-year-old with cataracts and floaters, where the condition decreased by 30% and the person no longer has floaters. A 50-year-old using pearl powder says their astigmatism is almost gone and their vision has improved. For macular degeneration, pearl powder allegedly helped reduce inflammation and fluid; the person is on month two and will be going back to see how they feel. There is a question about color blindness: “Can you reverse color blindness? Of course, there’s no treatments. They don’t have any solutions. We can’t check this.” The testimony continues: “Pro powder. My husband is starting to see colors normally that he couldn’t see at all.” It is also claimed that pearl powder works for animals as well. There is a broader note that people are self-regenerating divine beings and that there’s no profit in that, followed by the assertion that there are ways to heal the eyesight. The speaker concludes by stating that now you know your eyesight can regenerate. A reference is made to a book, “Take Off Your Glasses and Seeing” by Jacob Liberman, described as an eye professional who noticed that people’s glasses were actually making their eyes weaker over time. The transcript ends with the remark, “What a business model.”

Glasses and contacts block the UV spectrum, weakening eyes over time, which is why they are sold. To help your eyes, the speaker recommends consuming pearl powder to feed and heal them. Astigmatism means the curvature of the eyes is off, so eye exercises are needed to train them. If you don't move your eyes in different directions, they get warped. Glasses with different curvatures are then prescribed to balance the warped eye. Astigmatism is the eyes compensating and struggling to see. Eye exercises and reduced use of glasses and contacts, along with pearl powder, may help.

The inside of your eye is yellow according to, iridology, which is the study of the eye as it relates to health. When the corner of the eye is yellow, that can be a sign of liver stagnation. Another one, you can look at the bottom of your feet. So bottom of your feet, when they're dry and cracking, is showing that you're not getting proper circulation down to your feet. And so it can be a possibility that the liver is not doing a good job of detoxing and getting toxins out. So your circulatory system has more sludge in it. So the circulation isn't freely getting down to the bottom of your feet.

Heavy metals can be an underlying root cause of autoimmune issues, migraines, psoriasis, and skin conditions. Consuming heavy metals causes damage to the gut microbiome, leading to poor absorption of vitamins and minerals, resulting in deficiencies and toxicities as metals enter the bloodstream. Healing involves addressing deficiencies and lowering toxicities by removing heavy metals and rebalancing the gut microbiome. While detoxing, it's important to limit new heavy metal intake by using water and shower filters, eating low-mercury fish, and choosing low-arsenic rice. Switching out cookware over time can also help. Resources for recommended products are available at stevenkabrall.com/resources. This is how the healing process begins.

The speaker rails against eye professionals, saying they laugh at natural remedies and then sell thicker glasses, never truly fixing eyes. They describe the typical eye exam as just checking whether the eyes have changed and deciding if a thicker prescription or insurance charges are needed, implying that insurance is a scam and that exams don’t improve vision. They argue that people go to eye professionals to be told what they already know about their eyes and vision, rather than to improve them. The speaker notes that instinctively people know they need to take care of their eyes and nourish their bodies, but claims professionals respond by recommending progressively weaker or thicker glasses (referred to as “Coke bottles”) and bifocals that aren’t helping. In contrast to conventional care, the speaker promotes internal nutrition as a remedy, asserting that consuming a little pearl powder can benefit the eyes. They also mention topical uses, suggesting rubbing a little organic coconut oil or organic castor oil around the eyes before bed and then wiping it off before going to bed. The overarching message is that the eyes require 25% of the day’s nutrition, and if not fed, they will fall apart.

The interview discusses red light therapy—its popularity, why it is being challenged by “the medical world,” and how investigative journalist Jonathan Otto says it works and why people are adopting it widely, including through consumer devices like masks. Otto frames the therapy as “photobiomodulation,” describing it as the body responding to designed-for light. He contrasts modern mainstream medicine with what he portrays as an alternative approach. Otto says public interest has surged, citing everyday adoption (including references to women using masks and his anecdote that his son’s acne breakout could have led to scarring and even temptation to take Accutane). He argues that red light therapy is threatening to pharmaceutical and clinical systems because, in his view, it has become an alternative in major cancer-related studies and photodynamic therapy research. He cites a randomized control trial referenced as published by *Lancet Oncology* involving 413 men, claiming the red light group did “almost four hundred percent better” than the non-red light group, with 6% requiring surgery in the red light group versus 30% in the non-red light group. He also claims that many outcomes matter because surgeries can lead to complications such as impotence, and he argues that people are seeking “less invasive, more selective therapies” targeting tumor cells. When asked what led him to take red light therapy seriously, Otto describes his earlier work producing a cancer-focused documentary series about 12 years ago, including interviews with medical practitioners and treatment centers. He says he encountered results under “photobiomodulation” and mentions combining therapies, including methylene blue, which he describes as requiring activation by red light for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and antiparasitic effects. Otto gives historical context: he references a Nobel Prize awarded in 1903 to Niels Ryberg Finsen for light therapy reversing chronic disease, uses incandescent bulbs as the historical technology, and describes later developments. He attributes modern versions to work by Dr. Andrey Mester and says NASA-funded LED research enabled high-power delivery into the body, emphasizing that LEDs deliver power with less heat and do not flicker like older options. He claims a large body of studies supports red light therapy across conditions, listing eyesight problems, chronic back pain, autoimmune conditions (including arthritis, lupus), macular degeneration, post-stroke outcomes, and dementia. He also discusses cancer and chronic disease mechanisms through mitochondria: he says mitochondria contain “mitochondria chromophores” (light receptors) and that light induces reactive oxygen species and adenosine triphosphate, which he says target circulating tumor cells and senescent circulating tumor cells. He also connects red light to “shutting down unhealthy cells” and promoting creation and differentiation of healthier stem cells, including in bones and organs like kidneys. On which conditions respond best, Otto highlights pain (arthritis, inflammation), skin issues (eczema, acne, psoriasis), sleep/energy/recovery, autoimmune-spectrum conditions, and chronic eye conditions including myopia in children. He cites clinical trial information from University College London about prostate cancer and eye studies, asserting remission differences between red light and non-red light groups and claiming a morning-only benefit for myopia parameters. He says a study used 670 nm LED light delivered directly into the eyes for three minutes, and he describes reported improvements and the idea that exposure timing matters. He proposes mechanisms and timing for symptom relief: depression studies show changes within one hour, fibromyalgia studies average around four weeks with results maintained for months, and cancer studies can run for two years. He also includes a pilot study claim (three people with cutaneous B-cell lymphoma) describing complete remission after one or two photodynamic therapy sessions with methylene blue and red light, with no side effects reported. For hair loss, Otto says red light therapy for androgenic alopecia has studies supporting stimulation of hair follicles and stem cells in the scalp. He also claims effects on thyroid function and weight loss, linking red light to “photonic lipolysis” and describing organ-function improvements. On safety and frequency, Otto says people can “overdo it,” but describes minimal adverse effects reported across large clinical use. He emphasizes dark occlusion for sleep and suggests that short daily exposures can be sufficient, citing examples such as fifteen minutes per day for general use and thyroid studies involving limited weekly sessions. He states that more light does not necessarily mean better outcomes for eyes. Toward buying guidance, Otto recommends high-quality panels or devices delivering multiple wavelengths, claiming broad-spectrum coverage reaches shallow to deep targets within organs. He explains wavelength ranges he uses or discusses (including around 480 nm, 630–660 nm, and near-infrared up to around 1060 nm) and describes the role of irradiance and distance, suggesting benefits even at roughly a foot away depending on the device and condition. He also compares whole-body approaches (head-to-groin) with localized masks. Otto concludes by encouraging research on specific conditions, promoting the idea that light therapy can be preventative and substitute for other spending, and ends with an emphasis on devices being affordable compared with clinic sessions.

The speaker describes a common eye-care experience: you visit the eye doctor, receive glasses, and when your prescription worsens, you’re given thicker glasses. You keep returning for thicker and thicker lenses until the glasses become so thick that they block essential spectra needed for healing, and you can no longer see because the glasses have blocked the UV spectrum and other necessary wavelengths. The speaker argues that this approach contradicts healing, noting that if you don’t use your eyes or feed them, you lose them and they fall apart, so it makes no sense to keep relying on the same practitioner who prescribes progressively thicker glasses. Instead, the speaker advocates training the eyes through exercises and natural remedies. They claim that beginning eye exercises, applying castor oil and pearl to the eyes, and giving the eyes structured water can lead to healing and the ability to see again. The overarching assertion is that the eyes are capable of self-healing and regeneration. The speaker shares personal observations from others who have contacted them, stating that they have started regenerating their eyesight, visited eye professionals, and found that their eyesight has actually reversed or moved backward in the right direction. The central point is that by addressing the root causes—typically lack of nutrition, or possibly substantial toxin overload—and by not merely relying on corrective lenses, vision can improve. A key theme is reframing eye health from a dependence on increasingly strong prescriptions to a focus on natural support and addressing underlying factors. The speaker emphasizes that when the root causes are addressed, the eyes can heal, aligning with the belief that humans are self-regenerating beings.

The No.1 Eye Doctor: They’re Lying To You About Blue Light! The Truth About Floaters!
Guests: Joseph Allen
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Dr. Joseph Allen, a board-certified eye doctor, discusses common misconceptions about eye health, particularly regarding vision loss and the causes of under-eye bags. He clarifies that while aging does affect eyesight, lifestyle choices can significantly slow down deterioration. Stress, lack of sleep, and excessive caffeine can lead to eyelid twitching, a common issue linked to stress levels. Allen addresses concerns about blue light from screens, stating that it does not increase the risk of aging eye diseases, and suggests that moving devices further away can reduce exposure. He highlights a troubling trend: the rising rates of nearsightedness, projected to affect 50% of the global population by 2050, largely due to lifestyle changes, including increased screen time and indoor activities. Regular eye exams are crucial, as they can detect over 270 conditions, including diabetes and high blood pressure, often before patients are aware of any issues. Allen shares a case where he identified a serious health condition in a young patient during a routine exam, emphasizing the importance of proactive eye care. He also discusses the impact of diet on eye health, recommending a Mediterranean diet rich in green leafy vegetables and oily fish to reduce the risk of macular degeneration. Allen debunks the myth that carrots significantly improve vision, attributing it to wartime propaganda. Allen touches on emerging treatments like red light therapy for dry eyes and macular degeneration, noting that while promising, they require further research. He concludes by stressing the interconnectedness of eye health with overall well-being and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to preserve vision. Regular eye check-ups are essential, even for those who believe their vision is fine.

Light is described as a pervasive biological signal that the body translates into electrical, hormonal, and genetic activity. The host explains how different wavelengths of light penetrate tissues to varying depths and how photoreceptors in the eye, along with skin cells, relay light information to brain circuits and endocrine systems. A key emphasis is that light exposure influences melatonin production via intrinsically photosensitive melanopsin cells, linking daily and seasonal cycles to sleep, mood, and overall physiology. The discussion highlights how melatonin serves as a transducer of environmental light, guiding physiological timing across the year, and notes that bright indoor light can suppress melatonin with consequences for sleep, mood, and circadian alignment. The host also covers how exposure to ultraviolet B light through the skin or eyes can acutely raise sex hormones, affect fertility markers, and alter mate behavior in animal models, while acknowledging differences in humans. The broader point is that light signals modulate regulatory and protective hormonal processes, immune function, and tissue renewal, with seasonal patterns shaping experiences of energy and well-being. Practical guidance includes balancing outdoor light exposure across seasons, considering blue-light blocking, and using devices like light panels or SAD lamps to support mood and circadian health in darker months. Cautions are raised about excessive bright light, especially at night, and about individual risk factors for skin or eye disease when increasing UV exposure. The overview also touches how red and near-infrared light can penetrate deeper tissues to influence mitochondria, boost ATP, reduce reactive oxygen species, and potentially support skin healing and neuronal function, including research in aging vision and the potential for improving older adults’ visual performance.
