Plant lectins are being studied for over a century. Until a decade ago, most information was obtained from biochemical, molecular, and structural studies of a reasonably high but still limited number of abundant lectins from seeds and vegetative storage organs.
Light therapy boxes should be designed to filter out harmful ultraviolet (UV) light, but some may not filter it all out. UV light can cause skin and eye damage. Look for a light therapy box that emits as little UV light as possible. If you have concerns about light therapy and your skin, talk to your dermatologist.
The green light is more damaging to the eye because it has a wavelength of 533 nm and a high frequency of 1064 nm. The red light has a weaker effect coming in 670 nm, 650 nm, and 635 nm. The frequency of the red light is lower. The power of laser points vary from 1-5 mW.
