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.
There are two different frequencies, in two entirely different contexts, involved. The infrared light generated by an infrared LED is in the 300+ GHz range, this is correct. For instance, the TSAL5400 IR LED often used in remotes has its radiation peak at 940nm wavelength, i.e. 318,930 GHz. However, IR remote controls do not output continuous infrared light. The LED output is chopped via control circuitry into pulses of a given frequency, such as 34 KHz, 38 KHz, 40 KHz or 56 KHz. The IR sensor at the other end filters incident IR at the specified frequency, and ignores any IR that does not conform to this chopping frequency or modulation. This ensures that stray infrared light, such as from sunlight, heat sources, or incandescent lamps, is ignored by the sensor, and only the correctly modulated incoming IR is acted upon.
