It is important to note that research funded by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and conducted by Whelan indicated that there were specific wavelengths of infrared light that could initiate elevation of mitochondrial energy (Whelan et al., 2001a, 2001b). Stimulation of mitochondria is important because the mitochondria provide ATP, the basic chemical unit of energy for cells. ATP is the chemical responsible for energy release in injury repair, muscle contraction, peptide production, and pain relief. During his investigation of the effects of light on the human body David also learned that research studies had established that the biological effects of light on the body were not specific to devices that produce light. Instead, it is light at specific wavelengths that create the biological effects and not the device which produced it. At first, he experimented with jade, tourmaline and ceramic materials that absorb human infrared energy. David’s breakthrough came when he recognized that the waveforms of infrared and visible light produced by organic materials would match biological structures better than the waveforms produced by inorganic materials or electronic devices. So, he started experimenting with specific types of organic sugars and amino acids. He created solutions composed of stereoisomers of L-amino acids and D-sugars capable of self-assembly into nano-sized crystals that when activated by body heat emits specific wavelengths of infrared and visible light known to act through phototherapy and photobiomodulation to produce physiological effects in both animals and humans.
