September 4, 2018. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Photobiomodulation.

Ken calls it lighting up his head. He does it once a day even though we have no idea if i9t does anything good. The system has been tested for depression and senility and has found effective. People get better. And there are one dotal stories of improvement with patients afflicted with Parkinson's disease. But there are no studies. But as the good doctor said to both of us, "There has never had anyone say it was harmful". So Kewn takes a treatment every day. The whole thing may be hokus pokes. Being a bit cynical, even the placebo effect will probably not work. And we have no real standard to compare one week to the next because PD changes almost every day. One day Ken's balance is good and the next day terrible. Ken thinks he is more alert since the treatment but we do not really know. A study is being done at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto so perhaps there will be results eventually. But at the moment, Ken hooks his head set to the charger every day and for twenty minutes he sits and chills...and hopes the device will do some good. The thing is, nothing else works so at least Ken is trying something even though it proves out to be doing no good. At least it is doing no hard. We just keep on going with this Photobiomodulation and laugh.
