Ma muli o ka hoʻoikaika kino a i ʻole nā mea hoʻohaumia kemika i kā mākou meaʻai a me kā mākou kaiapuni, mālama mau mākou āpau i nā ʻeha. ʻO kēlā me kēia mea e hiki ke kōkua i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ke kaʻina hana ho'ōla o ke kino e hiki ke hoʻokuʻu i nā kumuwaiwai a ʻae iā ia e nānā pono i ka mālama ʻana i ke olakino maikaʻi loa ma mua o ka ho'ōla ponoʻī.
Ua aʻo ʻo Kauka Harry Whelan, ke kaukaʻi o ka neurology pediatric a me ka luna o ka lāʻau lapaʻau hyperbaric ma ke Koleke Lapaʻau o Wisconsin i ke kukui ʻulaʻula i nā moʻomeheu cell a me nā kānaka no nā makahiki he mau makahiki. Ua hōʻike ʻia kāna hana i loko o ka hale hana i ulu ʻia ka ʻili a me nā ʻiʻo i loko o nā moʻomeheu a ʻike ʻia i ke kukui infrared LED e ulu 150-200% wikiwiki aʻe ma mua o nā moʻomeheu mana ʻaʻole i hoʻoulu ʻia e ka mālamalama.
Ma ka hana pū ʻana me nā kauka Naval ma Norfolk, Virginia a me San Diego Kaleponi e mālama i nā koa i hōʻeha ʻia i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana, ua ʻike ʻo Kauka Whelan a me kāna hui ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia nā koa me nā ʻeha hoʻomaʻamaʻa musculoskeletal i mālama ʻia me nā diodes māmā e 40%.
I ka makahiki 2000, ua hoʻopau ʻo Kauka Whelan, "ʻO ke kukui infrared kokoke i hoʻopuka ʻia e kēia mau LED me he mea lā he kūpono ia no ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ikehu i loko o nā cell. ʻO kēia ke ʻano inā ʻoe ma ka Honua i kahi haukapila, e hana ana i kahi submarine ma lalo o ke kai a i ʻole ma kou ala i Mars i loko o kahi moku ākea, hoʻonui nā LED i ka ikehu i nā cell a hoʻolalelale i ka ho'ōla.
He nui maoli nā haʻawina ʻē aʻe e hōʻike ananā pono ho'ōla ʻeha ikaika o ke kukui ʻulaʻula.
No ka laʻana, i ka makahiki 2014, ua hana kekahi hui ʻepekema mai ʻekolu mau kulanui ma Brazil i kahi loiloi ʻepekema i nā hopena o ke kukui ʻulaʻula i ka ho'ōla ʻana i ka ʻeha. Ma hope o ke aʻo ʻana i ka nui o nā haʻawina 68, ʻo ka hapa nui o ia mau mea i alakaʻi ʻia ma nā holoholona e hoʻohana ana i nā nalu nalu mai 632.8 a me 830 nm, ua hoʻopau ka haʻawina "... ʻo ka phototherapy, ma LASER a i ʻole LED, he ʻano therapeutic kūpono e hāpai i ka ho'ōla ʻana i nā ʻeha ʻili.
