Light Therapy for Seasonal Affective Disorders
One of the most important applications of Light Therapy is its adaptation to SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDERS (SAD), also known as "WINTER BLUES".
Ii
is reported that as many as one out of ten people experience some
form of SAD.
Scientific evidence points to the efficacy of Light Therapy in
helping tens of thousands of SAD sufferers. By the mid 1980's,
Light Therapy had become the treatment of choice for SAD.
What is not quite understood, is how such modalities work., Much
still remains to be done discovering the exact mechanism of why
Light Therapy is so effective in confronting SAD and the acceptance
by the public of a simple, non-invasive treatment for the
"DARK MOODS" of winter.
Nevertheless, finding such a safe, drug-free treatment,
that is helpful in a common form of depressive feelings and change
of moods, has been a great boon to those who have benefited from
the use of Light Therapy, especially during their encounter with
SAD.
People with SAD, have recurrent depressive feelings in the Fall
and Winter months of the year.
SAD is believed to be produced by people's reactions to
changes in the day/night cycle. The farther north a person
lives, the longer and more severe their "WINTER BLUES" are likely
to be.
SAD is usually a chronic and life-long, recurring seasonal condition.
It is reported to be caused by a variety of neurochemical reactions,
when the "wrong" cycle of day/night visible light, reaches the
Pineal gland through the eyes. The general, most frequent symptoms
of SAD, are described as, being more tired, less productive and
gaining a few pounds during the winter.
The purpose of Light Therapy for SAD, is to increase
DAILY, the amount of light reaching our visual senses.
"REACHING OUR VISUAL SENSES" are the key words ! In experts' opinions,
it comes down to a matter of personal preference, as to which
light therapy "BOX" or system you use. Provided the light reaching
your eyes delivers the necessary amount of PHOTONS for
the right amount of time, especially with the RIGHT COLOR
to which the HYPOTHALAMIC CENTER and PINEAL GLAND are most receptive.
To help you decide which Light Therapy System you want
to use, we offer the following data:
EVERLYTE (EVC) fits over your eyes like
elegant sun spectacles. Your comfort is facilitated by its sturdy
temples and their 5 variable length positions. When used in LIGHT
THERAPY MODE, EVERLYTE delivers a featureless, soft, safe, yellow/green
light, which is considered to be most communicative to the HYPOTHALAMIC
CENTER of the brain, responsible for controlling our neurochemical
reactions and is of optimal brightness for LIGHT THERAPY, with
its
STRESS
RELAXOR.
At a distance of less than ½ inch from your eyes,
EVERLYTE is more effective than the classical, cumbersome,
expensive banks of "LIGHT BOXES". They need to be 3 or 4 thousand
times more powerful to be able to reach your eyes with adequate
light, because for safety, they are kept at two to three feet
away from you.
The
users of those "LIGHT BOXES" with their so called "BRIGHT LIGHTS"
are further cautioned NOT to look at them directly, for fear of
possibly damaging their eyes.
These "BOXES" may generate dangerous, glaring spots or infrared
and ultraviolet radiation.
Why take chances ? In addition, they are subject to various
malfunctions and replacement of expensive parts… Will they
be READY when you NEED them ?

batteries, NO electrical connections or circuits, NO
heat producing, glaring bulbs. Its functions cannot break
