I bought this Vielight 810 a couple of months ago, on Nov. 10th. I have not really used it a lot overall. I tried using it at night, as they recommended, but instead of putting me into an Alpha state, as advertised, I found myself getting kind of antsy on it. So, I switched to using it in the mornings. But I would often forget to use it, because I was busy or distracted by other activities. So, I think I have used it only about 15-20 times, at the most, in the past almost two months. But I have noticed one important, major neurological change just the same.

For a few years now, I have noticed that when I'm typing, whenever I type a letter beginning with a cap (capital letter), I end up typing the next letter in caps too. First two letters in a word. At the beginning of virtually every sentence, every proper noun. Now, to me, that seems to indicate that my brain signals are not getting through to my fingers fast enough to convey the commands to execute my intentions on time. That did not seem like good news to me, but I didn't really know what to do about it. I'm not a person who frequents doctors at all. I educate myself and solve my own problems.

When I got the Vielight, I was thinking more of my mother than of myself. She is hovering in a dangerous zone of dementia, bordering on Alzheimer's. But I wanted to try the light out myself first. For several reasons: To see how it feels to me and to make sure it would be safe for her. I also could use a boost in memory functions, so there was that too.

I had done a ton of research on these lights, both the lazer and LED ones. What to expect from the various frequencies, pulsed vs steady, high intensity vs low, etc. I was and still am cautious. There seems to be a lot of cross-promotion and cronyism in this area (as in most other areas occupied by humans), as well as contradictions, and most of the studies I read sounded more experimental than conclusive. But then, I have never been a big believer in the "results" purported to be reached by "scientific research" anyway. There are far too many possible (and probably even more seemingly impossible) variables involved, known and unknown. Just the human factor alone should give one pause! Never mind all the unknowns in our world. In the end, the best we can hope for is a good theory or two. And really, how strong a word is that word "theory"? About on the same wave-length as "believe". Both those words emanate incredibly weak signals, when you stop to think about it. And why? Because, when you look at where their sources hail from, you will find them severely diluted by the fact that, given a random dozen people gathered in a room, you are likely to get at least 4 to 6 divergent theories and/or beliefs about any given subject matter.

But I digress... In the end, I found myself more intrigued by than worried about what I was reading and hearing about the lights. And, when I got to that stage, I decided to give the VieLight a try. And, so far, I’m really glad that I did. After the first half dozen or so times of use, I suddenly noticed I am no longer doing the double caps typing anymore. Ever. Wow! Saves me a heap of time doing corrections! Not to mention the peace of mind that comes with not worrying about what that particular tic might mean in the long run.

I’m going to keep this VieLight with me for a bit longer and concentrate on using it more often than I had been. And, depending on my findings (or impressions thereof), I may keep this unit and buy my mother a new one.
