Infrared Light In Vivo
NASA have carefully researched the effect of infrared and visible-light electromagnetic radiation on body metabolism. Though their research relates to wound healing, bone density and cell growth (rather than our antiviral objectives), it usefully demonstrates the biologically active effect that specific infrared and visible-light wavelengths have on the body. This is interesting data. References: 1 2 3
One infrared device that does have a demonstrable effect against viral infection is the Virulite, which operates with an LED light of wavelength 1072nm (1072nm was chosen as it represents a peak in the transmission spectrum of the water molecule). The Virulite speeds up HSV cold sore healing, although this is not via direct virucide.
