Let There Be Light : Practical Manual for Spectro-Chrome Therapy (Fifth Edition) - hardcover

Includes history of the origins of Spectro-Chrome, its early adoption by a number of courageous physicians and their success in applying it, and its subsequent persecution and virtual elimination by the AMA. Spectro-Chrome involves shining light of specific colors on specific portions of the body in order to heal the disorder. It is non-invasive. Color therapy came into a more modern form in the mid-1800s through the efforts of several researchers. Though the electric light was not yet invented, utilization of sunlight and glass filters served as efficiently as any present-day therapeutic device. The classic reference volume. How can colored light possibly cause a physiologic effect inside a human (or animal) body? Best known is the "blue-light" therapy for some types of neonatal jaundice. Light applied to the skin causes a chemical reaction in blood circulating under the skin, lessening bilirubin levels with the aid of the liver. The 2nd, production of vitamin D though it is generated by a higher frequency (ultraviolet) rather than visible light. 3rd is light energy entering through the eyes. Additional light exposure is well-known to cause a beneficial change in "seasonal affective disorder", a condition believed to be caused by insufficient light energization through the eyes to the hypothalamus & to the pituitary gland which controls the endocrine system. Each individual cell in a living organism has a specific function to perform. In so doing, it generates and radiates a specific energy; the cellular energy totality is often termed the "aura". The liver radiates the equivalent frequency (harmonic) of red light, the pituitary radiates green, the spleen violet, circulatory system is magenta, lymphatic system is yellow, and so on. The logic behind color therapy is this: when a particular organ or system is underactive, its auric energy decreases so the appropriate activating color is projected on the affected area (sometimes the entire body).
