1072 Nanometer Light? Available? Unheard of?
Oh wise Candlepower forums experts-
I have a random question- My wife was recommended a light that operated at 1072 Namometers for Cold Sores- The one they have is quite pricey-
are there any out there that you guys know about or is it hard to make one or to get an emmiter and a battery and then just hook the two up?
Thanks guys

Well, from a quick look at google, you'll need the appropriate laser diode, power supply, focusing lens, and eye protection to start.

If it is 1072 Nanometer, it ain't light

Hmm, I smell the faintest whiff of quackery here. What exactly is the science beyond this ? Any experiments proving the efficacy of this 'treatment'?

1072 NM is somewhere around visual IR or thermal IR. You wouldn't be able to see it, you'd feel it.

Re: 1072 Nanometer Light? Available? Unheard of?
Ok ya I know its not "light" but it is energy
anyway- I know some IR or UV lights in a spectrun near this but I didn't know of one that maybe be closer- I am a little unsure of this recommendation as well.. and thast why I was trying ot see if I could make up a little project myself first- as opposed to buying it-

Tell her just to point the TV Remote at those Cold Sores. I'm pretty sure it will be just as efficacious.

1,072nm is not visible light, and it's not thermal radiation either.
It would be best described as high-frequency infrared radiation.

probably too pulsed to be of any effect

Sort of like an invisible massage, then. Hmm, might be a good thing.

Re: 1072 Nanometer Light? Available? Unheard of?
honestly, that sounds like the wavelength of a hot towel, which has been suggested for cold sores for a long time.

1072nm (just over 1µm) radiation is far too short to be perceived solely as heat; a hot towel probably has a peak emission wavelength of over 50,000nm (50µm).

Re: 1072 Nanometer Light? Available? Unheard of?
It's energy and it may be modulated in a way that is healing. I wouldn't discount it as quackery but I'm not saying it isn't either. I've studied a lot of energy healing and some things do work. But more often than not I've been skeptical of the light products such as this. Do some research on Rife frequencies and Dr. Royal Rife.
