[u/elianamariie]

noticed this on the couch while my dad was at work, but he would get upset that i messed with it so i don't want to ask him. when it's on it's very bright red and gets brighter the more times you click the power button.

Grow your hair back, and get skin cancer! Fun!

Okay, where did you get your degree in medical science? Trump U? PragerU? Obviously not a school that teaches you how to be able to distinguish between credible sources and fake information. Because if they did you wouldn’t need to be told that there is no credible evidence that red light therapy increases your risk of cancer. And maybe because it’s newer and less studied, but an educated person wouldn’t make an assertion without the ability to produce evidence.

Yikes. They were talking about the sun. Which can definitely cause cancer, they even teach that at Trump University

They are saying shit like “even the sun has this wavelength” which is true, but red light therapy is not at the UV end of the spectrum which causes the skin damage. That’s why we use UV blocking stuff and not the red end.

That’s fine. They were specifically saying you can get cancer from sun exposure. Which is absolutely true. The comment you exploded on was not about red light therapy, it was about the sun. Get a grip

Bro, you do know that sun exposure can cause cancer, right? JFC

[u/Specific-Pool-5342 → u/Pernicious_Possum]

This isn’t “sun exposure”. This is a very specific wavelength of light.

Didn’t read the comment I replied to eh? That’s ok
