ThermaLight® technology combines the finest tungsten filaments, mouth-blown red-stained glass, and years of engineering to produce a full-spectrum infrared light that mimics the best of nature.

0:00.0	These people want to keep you in a fear state, in a programmable controlled state, in a gullible state,
0:05.7	and the blue light does that. The light is not just inert. It has information. And it's programming you
0:12.1	at the cellular level, at the quantum level, even at the conscious level. Do you believe that this was a
0:17.1	nefarious act to dampen the life force energy of human beings on planet Earth.
0:21.6	Brian Richards is a nationally recognized expert in light therapy and has spent over 13 years as the founder and CEO of Sona Space,
