LEADIN:
A group of Tasmanians living with Parkinson's disease claim putting red and near infrared light helmets on their head twice a day is halting the progression of their symptoms and improving their quality of life.
They've inspired a proof of concept clinical trial that's now underway across Australia to confirm if the lights are actually making a difference, or if it's just a placebo effect.
STORYLINE:
At a home in Tasmania's northeast, a retired specialist doctor and an electronics expert are developing infrared light helmets.
Devices they claim are improving lives.
"For people with Parkinson's, the red lights are giving them an improvement now, right now, they're not having to wait ten years for a pill," says Dr. Catherine Hamilton.
Dr. Hamilton started using red lights in 2016 to improve her own arthritic knee.
While there isn't any definitive science on the treatment, she believes red and near infrared lights can regenerate old cells and help create new ones.
"They're able to penetrate a cell and then pop a little pulse of light energy into the cell battery, called the mitochondria. And the cell battery, if it's been unhappy, because the cell isn't functioning well, the cell battery will go; 'Oh, thank you, I like that.' and start promoting some activity of the cells," says Dr. Hamilton.
Former Australian federal politician Max Burr has Parkinson's disease.
He says he was the first Australian to test the lights on his head.
"I could literally have fried my brains, I didn't know," he says.
"But I was prepared to take the risk because there was no other form of treatment that could offer any improvement to the condition."
Burr has been using the lights for twenty minutes, twice a day for the past three years.
He claims his shaking has calmed down enough to play the piano again, while most of his other Parkinson's symptoms have subsided.
He's not the only one.
"I'm much happier, feel a lot lighter, shake less, laugh more," says Parkinson's sufferer Grace Winiecki.
Members of the Dorset Community Shed are now making their own version of Burr's helmet.
There's demand from people suffering a range of neurological conditions.
63-year-old Winiecki is convinced she's better now than she was seven years ago.
"It certainly improves a lot of symptoms," she says.
"And we're getting a lot of good feedback from people who are using the lights, so I'd be a huge coincidence if they all are getting better just because they're wearing a bucket on their head."
While some claim the red lights helmets are helping their brain, health professionals remain sceptical.
It's yet to be scientifically proven if they're making a long-term difference.
A team of researchers in Sydney are now hoping to change that.
Dr. Ann Liebert and her team are running a clinical trial involving Parkinson's and non-Parkinson's patients in Sydney, Brisbane and South Australia.
They hope to show the reported improvements aren't the result of a placebo effect.
"The main hope is that we can capture and replicate what the clinical observations have been over the last few years in Tasmania, in other centres around Australia," says Dr. Liebert.
"And that we can characterise and predict who would be able to benefit from the helmets, if it's a sustained improvement."
The first results of the trial are expected later this year.
Whatever the results, Dr. Hamilton says she'll keep making the light devices.
