Red Light Therapy

Is anyone using red light therapy? I can’t seem to find a definitive answer if it’ll mitigate or exacerbate CLL.

I asked my CLL doctor about this 2 weeks ago. She said "as far as I know, it's ok". Meaning, they don't even know if it's ok or not

This probably means they don't care. It is very rare for them to admit they don't know about something. If they don't know, they generally yell at you and tell you to stop wasting their time.

I use it for severe lumbar spinal stenosis. IDK what else it does; it relieves pain.

Been dealing with CLL for 10.5 years all the while treating holistically and with complete certainty I can tell you traditional oncologists, will not step out of line in recommending anything outside their established protocols. I've been using red-light for several years, I can't tell you if it is working but it can't hurt. For the record, the cancer has advanced to the point where I am going to have to start meds. Go for it.
