See all formats and editions
Light: Medicine of the Future challenges the modern myth that the sun is dangerous to our well-being and claims that technological advancements, such as most fluorescent lighting, sunglasses, tanning lotions, and our indoor lifestyles, may be more harmful than helpful. Integrating scientific research, clinical experience, and his own insights, Dr. Jacob Liberman has worked effectively with more than 15,000 individuals, from the learning disabled and physically/emotionally traumatized to business executives and Olympic athletes. The book discusses the use of light in the treatment of various cancers, depression, stress, visual problems, PMS, sexual dysfunction, learning disabilities, and the human immune system.

4 out of 5 stars
Very fascinating and I recommend highly!
I recently read “Light: Medicine of the Future” by Jacob Liberman, and it’s been quite eye-opening. The book delves into the fascinating relationship between light and health, exploring how light impacts our well-being beyond just vision. Liberman discusses how light influences everything from our mood and sleep patterns to our overall vitality and healing processes. His insights into the therapeutic potential of light therapy are compelling, backed by scientific research and practical applications. However, at times, the book can get a bit technical, especially when delving into the physiological aspects of light and its effects on different systems of the body. Overall, it’s an enlightening read for anyone curious about alternative approaches to health and wellness that go beyond conventional medicine.

I bought this book about 7 months ago and I have been picking it up and rereading it ever since. I am independently studying natural medicine through (light therapy, color therapy, essential oils, massage, brain science & energy vibration) and this book touches on the light therapy and some basic brain science stuff. yes it was written over 25 years ago but its funny how what is written in this book still applies today! Now mainstream health professionals are just now again just starting to pick up and rediscover with more enthusiasim. We don't need prescription medicine and such that contaminates our bodies with chemicals and fillers our bodies don't know what to do with. We have light, nutrition, essential oils, exercise to keep us functioning properly. Light therapy is just another wonderful tool for healing. I loved the sections in the book where he talks about what we "see through our eyes" and how it ties into our brain working and sending signals to the rest of our body. He also breaks down the difference between all the variations of light, UV, natural light, etc. We are amazing people and our bodies are just utterly fascinating! I have made so many markings in this book and entire book is heavily highlighted and covered with personal notes.

The author talks in basic terms but gives you great references to what he discovered and what those Dr's and scientists before him discovered early in the 1800's. Its a great read, so if you want to know how long light therapy has been around and how beneficial it is to us (even today) and really just how simple it is and how easily our bodies respond to light this is your book. I love it and i hope you will too!

In this book it really does a very fine job, a must have for alternative people till down to earth grounded humans but especially 4 those skeptics among us. A person can like Liberman, filled with Real Gnostic wisdom and at the same time create a book with reliable References. Jacob L., who comes in an interview from Drunvalo Melchizedek's site [...] reminds me of the book called "PERFECT EYES 30 Days to Better Sight A Lifetime of Crystal Clear Vision" if you really want to perfect your eyes without glasses, contacts or frowning because that's what makes you f-ugly-lazy. When you read this you could realize that all prisons should actually be in pink and the world should stop doubting about esthetic's and use the power of logic in mind to adjust the colour, symbol, light, energy, intention...towards the completion of your goals. In p43 PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF COLORS you will begin to understand the use of colors and it's effect on us. Joe arpagio(Sheriff of Arizona's pink toughest jail) America's Toughest Sheriff: Sheriff Joe Arpaio I found through this book's references, but buying the dvd wasn't what I expected, it didn't mention the reason to use pink in prison to lower the muscle tension... Now energy medicine from James L.Oschman(harder to read but brilliant)Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis is a lovely combination in my opinion, but anyhow "Light: Medicine of the Future" everyone must buy to open the mind towards healthier living, growing, healing... just with light.

I got this book after my daughter started to have eye problems. I am an NLP trainer, hypnotherapist but I didn't think I had many options when it came to vision for my daughter. We focused on Hypnosis to improve her sight. We now have Dr. Liebarman's books and are working on light treatments to help her.

I find this book fascinating. I studied Sound therapy which also focuses on Vibration/Frequency to treat the body! Whether it is through the eyes, ears or via body - there is no doubt they work. It is finding out what frequency the body needs and applying it in a way that works best for the person - that seems to be the key. In the book, Dr. Lieberman talks about helping his mother with Turquoise light. He also refers to a lot of other dedicated researchers and their studies to prove that light treatments do work.

One of the most fascinating messages from this book is the fact that we need UV Light. It is amazing how we are becoming a CREATED society vs a NATURAL society. We are now eating foods that are created, live in created environments with fluorescent lights and avoid natural sunlight and natural things in general. How we evolved to think Nature is BAD for us - is another story.

I am now investigating adding light therapy for my treatments. I already integrate NLP, Hypnosis, Sound and Energetic sessions to help assist others as we balance our minds and bodies.

I absolutely loved this book and will be discussing it with our metaphysics and spiritual group. I want to Thank Dr. Lieberman for having the passion and "vision" to bring into light such great information! THANK YOU!

5.0 out of 5 stars Het geschenk van licht: een eeuwig nieuwe en vitale kracht
Reviewed in Germany on June 24, 2024

Dit werk knoopt aan bij oudere kennis die we vandaag opnieuw ontdekken. In de westerse cultuur hebben we vanaf de Verlichting een soort omweg gemaakt in het speuren naar de aard van de schepping en onze plek daarin, en in sommige opzichten, ten aanzien van sommige deelgebieden, lijkt het alsof de cirkel weer bijna rond is, bij het arriveren bij de toen verworpen inzichten, waarin we nu een realiteit herkennen, zij het op een hoger niveau van inzien.
Schrijver begint met een historisch overzicht van onze geleidelijke groei in begrip over de aard van licht en zo komend tot de heilzame, psychologische en medische toepassingen.
Een belangrijk onderdeel van dit zowel oud als nieuw inzicht is, naast de mogelijk heilzame toepassingen, dat onze eigen levenshouding en zelfbeeld fundamenteel waren en zijn bij het toepassen, en bij het behouden of terugwinnen van ons innerlijk evenwicht en onze gezondheid. Dit wordt zeker geïllustreerd aan de hand van het levensverhaal van de auteur zelf, waaruit een innerlijke stap omhoog bereikt werd door zijn eigen moeilijk pad te gaan.
Tenslotte: licht is nu nog relatief weinig ingezet zoals bedoeld en voorgesteld in dit werk. Als recensent heb ik geen zicht op de ontwikkelingen na verschijnen van dit werk in 1991, maar ik ben benieuwd om te zien wanneer en op welke wijze we hierin vooruit gaan: in welke variëteit aan kwalen of juist het voorkomen daarvan, en niet in het minst welke andere gangbare behandelwijzen door toepassing van licht(-therapie) daardoor mee gaan veranderen!
