EP 082: Launching A Light Revolution: The Book That Could Change Everything
The Quantum Biology Collective Podcast
Exploring the Key Points of The Light Doctor Book Release
Dr. Martin Moore Eade's book, The Light Doctor, delves into the significance of light exposure on health and offers insights on circadian lighting implementation with references to scientific studies, advocating for enhanced lighting environments.
“We’re contributing to epidemics of psychiatric illness and cancer in the name of energy conservation and climate change without realizing the harm being done,” says Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, who returns to the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast just ahead of the release of his book “The Light Doctor.” Host Meredith Oke predicts the book will have the same impact on revealing the devastating effects of poor light on circadian biology as Rachel Carson’s 1962 book Silent Spring had on the now-banned pesticide DDT.
In this episode, Dr. Moore-Ede explains how advancements in light technology—from the brightness of Thomas Edison’s lightbulb to the blue light emitted by LEDs—are linked to physical disorders such as diabetes and various cancers, particularly breast cancer, as well as mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. He also claims there’s no evidence that LED lights save the energy they are supposed to.
With the threat of a full ban on healthy light bulbs looming, we need to act fast. Tune in to learn the most important thing we can do each day to protect ourselves.
Quotes
- “Many, many aspects of sunlight are curative, the infrared and the violet and many many other aspects are green. But in the context of circadian rhythms, it synchronizes robustly with our circadian clock and is associated with longevity and not just living longer but living healthier longer, which is what we all hope for.” (12:46 | Dr. Moore-Ede)
- “Night is a time for not only sleep but for the rest/restorative features of the body. So, melatonin is something that helps trigger restorative actions of the body. Growth hormone coming out in the evening hours, for example, it comes out early in the sleep period. All those systems in the body are now repairing the cells.” (21:27 | Dr. Moore-Ede)
- “We know, for example, women who don’t see electric light rarely get breast cancer. It was very rare to see these before Edison invented the light bulb. We know that women who are in a non-electrified part of the world, and there are quite a few million people in that state, don’t get breast cancer or rarely get it. And we also know that women who are blind from an early age rarely get breast cancer.” (25:55 | Dr. Moore-Ede)
- “We’re contributing to the epidemics of psychiatric illness and anxiety, depression, PTSD. We’re contributing to the epidemics of cancer… in the name of energy conservation and climate change and being positive in this arena, without realizing the harm done by, really, a false metric.” (44:10 | Dr. Moore-Ede)
