1.2.4 Examples of the Use of Light in Allopathic Medicine A study has been done on the effect of monochromatic phototherapy on the healing of pressure ulcers acquired by the elderly. Improved healing as well as a significant reduction in the size of the ulcer was noted on completion of the experiment (Dehlin et al., 2003). The use of green or blue light (Bili-Lights®) on the skin is the currently preferred medical treatment for neonatal jaundice (Oschman, 2001). Phototherapy enhances the overall excretion of bilirubin by converting it to a form that is easily excretable in bile and urine. However these effects are not limited to infants. People that suffer from Gilberts Syndrome, which is characterized by chronic mild unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (increased bilirubin in the blood), receive the same benefit from the sun’s radiation when sunbathing (McDonagh, 1985). Red light is used externally to sterilize donor blood of hepatitis, herpes, HIV and other organisms. Blue light has been used to partially relieve the pain of arthritis (Liberman, 1994). Skin cancer cells treated with ‘Photofrin®’ become fluorescent under ultra-violet light for up to three days. If these cells are treated, within a certain time period, with red light they begin to self destruct with an 85 percent success rate (Liberman, 1994). CHAPTER TWO PROPERTIES OF LIGHT 2.1 The Sun All natural light on the Earth is derived, either directly or indirectly, from the Sun. Before we discuss the properties of light and its effect on biological organisms we need to examine the source of all natural light - the Sun. The Sun is the largest and most prominent feature of our solar system. The energy generated by the sun supports all the earth’s energetic needs. Should the sun cease to exist, so would all life on this planet. Over 1.5 million earths can be held within the circumference of the sun and 109 earths, placed side by side, would equal its diameter. It contains about 98 percent of the total Solar System’s 8PDF Image | THE USE OF LIGHT AND COLOUR AS A HEALING MODALITY
