Summary
In posts from December 2023 to September 2025, Moon 14636 reported no crash after starting red light therapy, which gave immediate energy and seemed easier and cheaper than intermittent hypoxia training. In May 2024 they said something helped a little but an energy healer helped far more. In September 2025, they felt a viral-reactivation-like flare, then a little better after raising the dose but slept badly.

ok I just had a first session IHHT but not too strong for testing, did not feel anything afterwards

this is the only stuff I always come back to because it seems to work on the underlying blockages
