Is Red Light Therapy Safe for Cancer Patients?

Hey guys, just wanted to ask something real quick. I’ve been reading a lot about red light therapy lately — mostly for healing, pain relief, and overall recovery — but I’ve seen mixed opinions when it comes to people who currently have cancer or are in remission.

Some say it’s totally fine because it doesn’t use UV and isn’t strong enough to damage DNA. Others say you should avoid it if you have any history of tumors because the light might stimulate cell activity in general, not just the healthy ones.

I’m honestly curious what the real consensus is. Has anyone here asked their doctor about it or used red light therapy while dealing with cancer-related issues? Any experiences or verified info would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
