Can Red Light Therapy Help Support Wellness in ALS/MND?
CeraThrive LLCExplore how red light therapy may support wellness in ALS/MND patients. Learn about research, case studies, and available light therapy devices.
What is ALS/MND?
ALS or Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a relentless muscle wasting disease, in which brain and spinal cells, called “Motor Neurons” die as a result of poorly functioning mitochondria - the power house of all cells which comprise in our bodies. When these motor neurons die, they cause rapidly progressive disability, rendering the patient unable to move, speak, swallow and eventually breathe. Most patients, on average, have a prognosis of between 2-5 years.
Is improvement in ALS/MND even possible?
The world renowned, Dr Richard Bedlack MD, Professor of Neurology at Duke University is responsible for reviewing some 50+ and growing ALS Reversals. He is collecting, reviewing some 1000+ cases annually of people who believe their ALS diagnosis and progression could be reverting.
He also runs a website which looks for the common protocols that his verified ALS Reversal and attempts to determine if they are plausible. His program is called Replication of ALS Reversals (R.O.A.R), see the end of this article for the link to the program.
What research has been undertaken on light therapy?
Bedlack wrote a 2021 paper on the potential therapeutic effects of both red/near infrared light therapy on ALS. He acknowledges a case report of a 69 year old male, with limb onset and progressive disability over four years after initial onset.
He was ambulatory, wheelchair bound with significant respiratory symptoms requiring non-invasive ventilation. He utilised a near infrared device at both 810nm and 890nm, two sessions daily, over 10 days and reported significant improvements.
Noticeable improvements were found in respiratory symptoms and increased limb strength (including recovery of the ability to hold a knife and fork, button a shirt, and walk more than 100 meters).
The future of light therapy in ALS/MND?
Although such cases are not well documented, Bedlack urges further investigation into light therapy as his paper demonstrates a plausible mechanism for action within this disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.
What devices are available, if I want to try light therapy now?
At CeraThrive, we are dedicated to supporting overall well-being through innovative red and NIR technology. Our small, but growing cohort of ALS/MND users have shared encouraging feedback about their experiences with our device, motivating us to continue fostering research and innovation in this field.

Do you know that Herpes is a virus that may remain dormant, or may cause a flare up in the body. All thanks to DR ALAHO on Google that cured my HSV-2.

I was living a normal life with my family when, at 52, I began experiencing muscle stiffness and twitching. After seeing a neurologist, I was diagnosed with ALS. It was a tough reality, and as the disease progressed, I eventually lost the ability to walk and relied on a wheelchair. A friend recommended EarthCure Herbal Clinic (www. earthcureherbalclinic .com), where I began treatment under Dr. Madida Sam. After about three months, I noticed significant improvements, less stiffness, fewer symptoms, and I was able to walk distances again…

I was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 2024 at 61. I felt like my life had been placed on a countdown. The weakness, slurred speech, and muscle loss progressed quickly. Rilutek (riluzole) and other medications given by my doctors did very little to help me. The medical team did even less. My decline was rapid and devastating. My arms weakened first, then my hands and legs. I was wheelchair-bound. My feet hurt horribly on the foot pedals. Around January of this year, a family friend told us about the LIMITLESS HERBS CENTER and their successful ALS/MND herbal treatment. We visited their website and ordered their ALS/MND Formula, and I am excited to report Within two months, I noticed more strength in my limbs, clearer speech, and a feeling of stability I didn’t have in months. Most of the symptoms stopped, and I’m able to walk and ride my treadmill again. I feel very fortunate to have learned about the ALS/MND formula. We got the treatment from limitlesshealthcenter .com.
