PBM Treatment Potential for COVID-19
There is a growing body of evidence showing that pulsed 1068nm infrared stimulation could serve as the basis for a safe, low-cost, non-drug, easily-deployed, noninvasive and home-based treatment for COVID-19. Current research evidence includes photobiomodulation as: 

• Antiviral via furin inhibition preventing viral attachment (infection) Evidence: UVB upregulates furin, causing toxicity and NIR inhibits UVB and elevates lymphocyte iNOS
• Antiviral - Acute pro-inflammatory (non cellular and cellular) for innate immune system to combat virus. Skin cell evidence
• Anti-inflammatory to protect host cells long term. Skin cell evidence
• Maintaining mitochondrial health for host cells long term.  Multi-cell evidence  
  
  

Quietmind Foundation has 1068nm transcranial stimulation units available for short-term rental.
