What is Phototherapy? (The Science of Healing with Light)
If I told you that light could signal your body to heal itself, you might think it sounds like science fiction. But the truth is, you experience this phenomenon every single day.
Think about what happens when you step outside on a sunny day. When sunlight hits your skin, you might get a tan. But the sunlight doesn’t contain melanin. So, what happened? The Ultraviolet (UV) light sent a signal to your cells, telling them to produce melanin as a protective mechanism.
Similarly, those same rays tell a cholesterol precursor in your skin to manufacture Vitamin D3. The sun didn’t “give” you the vitamin; the light simply gave your body the instruction to make it.
This process—using light to produce a biological change in the body—is called Phototherapy (or Photobiomodulation).
And it is the key to the next generation of healing.
The “Youth” Peptide: GHK-Cu
To understand why I am so excited about this technology, we have to travel back to 1973.
A doctor named Loren Pickart discovered a tiny molecule in the human body called Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu). He found that this peptide is renown for its powerful anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties.
But here is the catch: as we age, our levels of GHK-Cu drop. This is one reason why a 5-year-old heals from a scraped knee in days, while a 70-year-old might take weeks.
Dr. Pickart discovered that certain wavelengths of light can actually trigger the body to elevate this peptide again.
How the Patch Works (It’s Your Own Light!)
This brings us to the technology I use personally: the X39 patch.
You might wonder, “Does the patch have a battery? Does it have a lightbulb?” No. The power source is you.
Our bodies are beings of energy. We emit heat constantly. That heat is actually a form of Infrared Light.
- When you place the patch on your skin, it traps that infrared light.
- It reflects specific wavelengths of your own light back into your tissue.
- This reflected light signals the body to increase production of GHK-Cu.
This increase in GHK-Cu stimulates Stem Cell activity. Since stem cells are the basic building blocks that can fix whatever goes wrong in the body, this is like waking up your internal repair crew.
Proof that We Are Energy
For those who are skeptical about “energy,” consider this: When you go to a hospital, we hook you up to an EKG (to check your heart) or an EEG (to check your brain).
These machines are simply reading the electrical potential on your skin to tell us what is happening inside your organs. You are electric. You are energy.
Studies on the X39 patch have shown visible changes in this energy field, including:
- Brain Mapping: Greater coherence (communication) between the two halves of the brain.
- Heart Rate Variability: Improved response to stress.
- Metabolism: Increases in energy, stamina, and deeper sleep.
The Gift of Health
This technology has been tested in over 90 studies, documenting results from rapid wound healing to balanced hormones.
If I could give someone the ultimate gift, there is no doubt I would include access to X39. Consistent use has been shown to alter gene expression to reflect a younger, healthier state.
I believe health is our greatest wealth. And sometimes, the treasure we are looking for has been inside of us all along—we just needed a little “light” to find it.
