It has become customary to say that given its huge population, India is doing much better than the US or Europe in the fight against coronavirus. This is how official sources are trying to explain away the shockingly high numbers of total confirmed cases and total deaths, both of which put India at the third position globally behind the US and Brazil. However, the comparison is not really valid. India needs to be compared not with the US and Europe but to regions of the world with a population's age, economic standards and healthcare access is similar. Such a comparison reveals that in fact, India is doing quite poorly even in comparison to other developing countries. Let us start with cases and deaths as a proportion of the population. This is a far better measure of a country's performance against COVID because country-wise populations vary enormously and it is unreasonable to compare India, which has a population of 138 crore, which say the United Kingdom which has a population of just 7 crore. To adjust for a population, the usual and accepted way is to calculate cases and deaths per 10 lakhs that is per million of the population. As per data available on 31st August, when we compare cases per million, we see that India's tally of 2622 is half of Europe's, one-sixth of North America's and nearly one-seventh of South America. However, when we compare with Asia and Africa, we see that India is far worse than the whole of Asia and has over 2.5 times more cases per million than Africa. These are regions where the countries are similar to India in terms of per capita GDP, median age, poverty and hunger levels and access to healthcare services. In fact, if one were to rank the 106 countries in Asia and Africa in terms of cases per million with the worst at the bottom, India would come in at a very poor 80th position. On the count of deaths per million as well, India fares rather badly. With 47 deaths per million, India is much better off than Europe, which is at roughly 277, while both North and South America are almost 10 times more. But again, if you compare India to Asia and Africa, the real picture is revealed. An average of deaths per million is just 30, while Africa is even lower at a mere 21. In the rankings of all Asian and African countries, India is at 76 out of 106 countries with respect to deaths per million. Now let's see how India is doing in fighting COVID-19 in comparison to its immediate neighbors. Our ability to counter the pandemic seems to be worse even here. When we look at cases per million in these countries, we see that China is at 59, Pakistan at 1,335, Bangladesh at 1,897, Nepal at 1,320, Sri Lanka at 141 and Afghanistan at 977. All much lower than India's tally of 2,622. Similarly, when we look at deaths per million among these countries, China stands at 3, Pakistan at 28, Bangladesh at 26, Nepal at 8, Sri Lanka at 0.6 and Afghanistan at 36. Again all lower than India's death per million rate of 47. There are several factors at work in determining why India is currently better off in some developed countries, but worse off compared with other countries in Asia and Africa. Firstly, the comparison with North America, Europe and even South America is misplaced because the coronavirus hit these regions much earlier than countries in Asia and Africa, with the exception of China of course. To understand this better, let's look at a trajectory of the pandemic spread across Asia, Africa and Europe and North America based on weekly new cases taken at one month's interval for the sake of clarity. Note how the pandemic hit its first peak in Europe in February and a little later in North America. Till about mid-April, both these regions had more cases than Asia and Africa. Cases in Asia steadily rose along a steep curve with no peaks and no flattening ever. By the end of June, North American and Asian cases were seen growing weakly in similar leaps while cases were seen declining in Europe. African cases were much less yet they rose steadily till the end of July after which there was a surprising dip. Clearly the coronavirus arrived and spread in Asia except China and Africa later and its growth is continuous. In China, the number of cases declined after March, Asian cases continued to rise as India experienced the onslaught. North America experienced a second wave in June and July while Europe is still going through its second wave currently. Asia is still continuing to rise mainly because of India. So to compare India with North America and Europe is unreasonable. The virus hits different regions at different times and may even see a resurgence. Besides this, the age of the population is also a major factor. The median age in India is 28 which means that half of India's population is younger than 28. In comparison, the median ages for Europe, USA and UK are 42.7, 38.3 and 40.8 respectively. Also on average, the median age for less developed countries excluding China is 26 years while for more developed countries it is 42.1 years. This is possibly the reason why deaths due to COVID-19 are less in Asia and Africa compared with the more aged population in Europe and North America. Yet why is India fearing so badly? Despite a delayed start to the pandemic and a younger population, India continues to steadily lose its grip over the fight against the pandemic. The reason is the way India's government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party Ajanta Patil have mindlessly and heartlessly handled the pandemic. From a disastrously conceived and implemented lockdown imposed at a foreign notice to the lack of attention to the needs of the huge population with low incomes and negligible savings, the government's apathy towards the common folk of this country has become clearly obvious. After that, the pension for dramatic announcements rather than solid groundwork, the devotion of energy to use the pandemic for political gain, giving concessions to the super-rich, the lack of attention to healthcare facilities to drive, to centralise all power and the tight fistedness in spending money, including helping state governments, all these have led to this pass. Not only has the pandemic devastated the country but the economy is in a tailspin, with economic growth predicted to dip by up to 10.5% next year. It is a double strike and the people are bearing it with immense pain. And the worst part is the pandemic is still far from over.


Okay where does fear come from? Fears can be acquired evolutionary there's some fears that this your affective nervous systems come into the world with some things built in because the ancestors you had that survived survived because they avoided certain things and my story of this is at a pet rat herbie in Portland Oregon and herbie was a I raised him from four day old so he never saw anybody else and he the collected as they used to call it but he bonded with me because I was his only parent for a long time so he wasn't afraid of me we would you know I didn't have to put him in a cage you lived in the apartment with me and you know it was normal and then one day the neighbor got a got a little kitty cat little teeny kitty and I thought oh wow the kitty was barely got its eyes open really tiny little thing and I thought ah herbie and herbie went everywhere with me and everything and I thought herbie should see the kid cat so we go over to meet the kitty cat and herb goes into a full extensur rigidity total overwhelmed with fear which completely shot me because he never seen a cat before in his entire life anything like this so that was built in pretty deep in herbie and herbie was in fact actually traumatized herbie never you know ran when we got home he ran directing his cage wouldn't have his cage for days so huge so some kids come in with hyper exaggerated fears some of them are just part of our DNA and most of them don't interfere much with schooling but some sometimes do but anyway they're they come in that way and others we acquire over ontogeny over development I used to get very sick with chocolate and when I was a very young child I don't even remember it but as a result my nervous system learned to fear chocolate so it's not part of something I think about and so chocolate disgusts me and it's always a surprise like the other people like you you're thinking how could that happen so I've never eaten chocolate and it's not like when you put a chocolate cake out for me and people always think wow must be such a disability that you look at you know you want to eat the chocolate cake and I say it you know for me it looks like a piece of you know dungy cardboard it's like why would you want to eat that is the way my nervous system it's like it looks awful so I never have this feeling I'm missing out on anything I just think you guys are weird wanting to eat things like that but that's been learned by my nervous system because I got really sick and the nervous system really learns that well and I'll show that slide I think I want to do these three together I had a I fly a lot I had a trauma trip I'm going to do this fast because I want to catch up but had a flight from hell where we were under what they pilot came on and said okay we're going to run into some violent turbulence and when you know you've all heard we're going to have a little turbulence we're gonna have some moderate chop or something you think okay this is not good when he said violent turbulence you can imagine we went oh this not a word we like to hear anyway so we hit violent turbulence and the airport closed we couldn't get down blah blah and then we were hit by lightning in the middle of the flight and it just this explosion and we all thought we were dying and it was unbelievable well the guy next to me we finally did get down after a traumatizing thing and he said to me we both had our feet up on the back of the seat of the one in front of us we're like a total still frozen with fear and he says you know this happened to me a few years ago it took me two years to get over it and I was and boy that has been true I am so traumatized by flying you know it just I'm mostly over it now but this was four years ago and so what's this all about that the that some of your fear stuff the stuff that's learned through the amygdala is really really well learned you don't forget it and it's very hard to unlearn it your nervous system is not designed to unlearn it it's designed to make that never happen again so it's really adaptive your ancestors that saw a lion charging at them and saw it you know your neighbor getting eaten by a lion it wants to remember that forever that's the the ones that survived remembered it forever with fear and you don't want to sort of forget it go oh now let's see now all the lion came it it was eating my friend and this is this is the reason that those ancestors don't have children okay and so you want your nervous system to be very fast so what you develop is this very low level what's called the short route by some people that your very old dumb nervous system really learns things that are very frightening and you also have ability to learn things later like chocolate and so on but these are very fast acting which is why when you're walking in a a trail and you if someone gives you an anticipatory set says oh it's a great trail there might be a rattlesnake in there I'm not sure so then it takes just a little little noise and your whole nervous system does this okay does a big jolt and gets your adrenaline going so your can do the things you need to do and and it's very hard to stop that from happening because it happens very quickly and let me bring this into the classroom this was a study done by a new person that cast when she was a doctoral student at Harvard and it's very powerful she was measuring stress physiologically on middle school kids and they'd come in and she would wire them all up and then she'd have them do some reading and the idea was that you would have them read under a couple of conditions and I'll get to that in a moment but her research was astonishing unexpectedly because what she was doing she was measuring everything and she was waiting to see whether under one condition their anxiety be less than the other but she didn't get any effects for reasons we'll talk about but she didn't get any effects and what she went back and looked at her data and what she found out was that the kids they would come into this room no no pressure there was no big you know testing or anything but they were going to read and that the kids came in in two different levels of stress all the kids she had identified to two kinds of kids kids with reading difficulties and kids typically achieving kids the kids with reading difficulties came in at a highly elevated stress level right from the beginning of their moments in the room before she had them read anything they already went into high stress so this is their stress level this is typical kids now what she doesn't know and is going to do the research on were they walking around all day in school like that were they like your ancestors walking in the jungle where there are lions are they walking around all day at a high stress level like she measured when she first measured it because she meant it was instantaneous when she put the stuff on they were already under high stress they hadn't read a thing so the possibility is that they are walking around all day like your ancestors in a jungle full alliance that is to say they're waiting for something bad to happen they are stressed and what we know is that that is very bad for learning doesn't help you learn and it's very bad it's caustic for your nervous system it's not good to be under chronic stress for your nervous system and so we may have to put a warning sign on schools that say like cigarette ads caution this could be deleterious to your health if you are a poor reader and you're in middle school it could be that you are entering a damaging situation it's certainly a psychologically damaging but what is likely is that it's physiologically damaging yeah she's measuring a physiologic heart rate skin conductance up pupils things like that so it's the low level it's we're measuring the real stress not the kids reporting of their stress physically we can see there that low part of the nervous system is just like you've just said there's a snake there it's firing it's going I'm under I'm under stress so they are chronically under stress well we don't know they're chronically under stress we know they're under stress and we ask them to read so that's a big thing to be worried about that some kids are in a very different stress environment than other kids I want to skip those because I want to get to the how do we manage because this will get to the UDL part how do we manage things like fear what do we do and I want to say that the one thing that doesn't work is to say to the kids don't be afraid has no effect whatsoever and the reason I didn't want to get too much into it the reason is this your thoughts about that this could be a dangerous place activate the amygdala negatively that is if you think it might be frightening it gets the amygdala already for frightening things to happen thoughts that are trying to turn it off are not so effective it's very hard to tell yourself don't be afraid it doesn't look like our nervous systems are designed to do that well okay so the idea of saying to a kid don't be afraid this is going to be different or you're going to like this subject even though you've had a history of failing all of your subjects that the nervous system is not prepared to learn that it's learned a very core thing about the situation that is fear inducing and it's very hard to fix it


So let's give this a shot. Okay. Okay. I got this rod here It's gonna be our pump shaft. I need to cut it off at the end this end seems to have a little bend to it And that's the end there. I do believe so we're going to just cut the end of this off You know one way we can find out We can put it in the drill chuck it up in the drill See it wobbling So I'm guessing it's just in down here so We got to make that straight first of all This is going to be our little propeller Impaler or whatever Propeller this is going to be our guide at the end Kind of like a bearing type deal This is what we're going to put that on the end of that with with this tap and dice that we have here Okay, so but again the first thing we got to do Try to find out where that's been I think it's been down here on this end Okay, so let me see if I can find find the bend exactly where it is and we'll cut it off And we'll go from there Okay guys, I Play around with this a little bit with that hammer, and I think we pretty much got it straight So this will work Now so I've got to cut this off so it can fit Inside of here say that Now I don't know if this is going to work or not We're going to give it a shot Okay, so the first thing I want to do is I'm going to mark this And then we're going to cut it off Okay So I just want to go Something like that. All right, and we're going to cut this off with the cutoff wheel Okay, but I'm not going to hold this in my hand. All right, so Let me get this cut off And then we'll see if if this is even going to work or not this piece may not work I may have to come up with something different before I go drilling holes All right, I've got a different plan.  It's just not going to work So I'm going to try to make a round impeller out of this and I'm going to Cut it with that Let me get this drilled out Without Killing myself maybe I hope This don't start spinning on me. This one has enough power plan C That's what we're looking for places in this thing. Let's take this off of our bolt. It's not very centered So may not work, but At least we tried right can't hurt to try this is just this thing cost me anything guys This is a bunch of stuff. I have Land around though not quite centered But we're going to have to cut four slices in this maybe three might just do three so Let's see here Then I've got a got a straighten it out a little bit now This ain't my idea guys people's been doing making this stuff for years. I just wanted to try it myself so That's what we're doing Let me get a pen Now I don't want to go Clear to the center because I'll cut it in half. So I'm just going to go, you know halfway or whatever Just like that now I'm going to clamp these This is my trusty old vice grips here, and I'm going to cut this Four ways now I'm going to thread that rod and we're going to put this on there And we're going to give these a twist Okay, so I got to get you guys on the charger for a few minutes Okay, I brought you guys back as you can see I ran a die Down over here some people call them thread chasers, but these are actually It's actually tapping die set there is a difference thread chaser will not cut threads It just cleans them up these as you can see Cuts a very nice thread This is not a very expensive. Whoops This is not a very expensive set. I got this at a flea market for like five bucks or something so It was well worth that to me just You know to be able to do something like this even Even if they wouldn't cut threads very good, which they do it's all right I Could have always used them for thread chasers. This is also got It's got dies Taps and dies for pipe pipe thread too, so Let's see how we did All right, see that's Want to hold and like I said, I don't know how well this is gonna work guys but Of course Works on the internet just fine, right? So I'll get that adjusted where I need it to be because then we need something down here kind of like a bear Excuse me a bearing to hold this straight So now that we're done with that. Let me clean some of this up get it get it out of our way and Then we'll start on the pump housing and We'll go from there see that shaft It's going to run down through here. That's going to pick the water up down here Shoot it out there in theory like I said works perfect on YouTube But those guys know what they're doing they got better equipment than I do I mean some of the guys get serious and They like put all their stuff on on a metal lathe and they work all this stuff and put little bearings and stuff in And it works great But then you got a guy like me that just throws this crap together and it works just as good It gets me, but I'll be back with you guys hang tight Okay, so I did all that without hint and record But I got this on here and what I did was I bent these tabs back a little bit I don't think it matters because I can turn The drill backwards if I have to something like that I Want to get them somewhat Okay, so what this is going to do this going I've cut this off and I've drilled a hole in that So what this is going to do this is going to go down in here like this Very crudely, I've got my hole up in there get this lined up. There we go, and that's going to come out that hole Just like that now supposedly it shouldn't get Hot enough to melt this plastic because you know there's going to be water coming up through here So that's going to be all the time in water, so it shouldn't get too hot now I'm only going to want it you know just big enough just far enough to get the drill on it and What this piece is going to be for I'm going to put a hole in the center of this and it's going to go down over that Like that and that's what's going to hold This in from flopping around like that see how it'll flop around so I Think what I'm going to do is I'm just going to lay this across there. I'm going to drill my hole a Center's false one will lay this cross there and I'm going to cut a couple notches here Just cut out a couple notches and this should set right in there So that's what I'm going to do next okay, so this is what I've done I cut a couple notches down cut them sides out then I cut a slice around this way and The slice around this way that way this can Go on here and I can turn that and it locks itself in I'll also put a nut on the other end There so that way it can it won't slide out so now We're going to put a short end on a short end on here and we'll see if it works Okay, I've cut me off a short end Like that Now let's back you out In theory this should work the drill It's going to hook on there Just like that That's going to go in the water and it should pump water out So let me go get a big pan or bucket or something and I'll meet you outside Let's give this a shot guys My double nut came loose look and it was eaten in to the plastic Looks like Some what let me try to tighten this down all right guys I had to cut it down, but this is what I ended up with So I guess if I would perfect it it would work but on YouTube when they say quick and easy pump and It ain't that easy Everything's got to be precise and perfect so no air gets into it If I had lathes and all that kind of stuff and turn everything perfect I could do it, but I Mean it was pumping, but very little so there you go she bears a met the man The legend gone for now. Bye. Bye guys. See you


you guys welcome back to my channel if you're new here. Hi, hello, I'm Lydia and today I'm dyeing my hair. I'm gingerly blonde at the minute. Well, actually you can't. So I'm gonna be dyeing my hair three different, that's six, three different colors. I'm doing pink, purple and turquoise. I haven't done this since I was in, and let me just put a picture in violet like then. I'm doing it differently though. I wanna do it in violet, just do chunks. But you won't. Yes I am. Sorry, just looking at it now. I'm dyeing ginger. I'm using Direction's hair dye. I've just bleached my hair. I didn't film it. The ring I was filming bleaching my hair anymore. I'm thinking to use just some little bits pink here and there. Then do some turquoise. And then when it's close to the roots, do the violet color. Mine is one last week. Actually it's like an arms to the room. I washed it out. I don't actually know if it's like on the right color or not. Let's dry it out and see. I'm really young but I can't because all the lights are purple. So with that in mind, I have actually now finished dyeing my hair. It looks dark. It's not. It's really bright. So thank you guys so much for watching this video. Thanks for watching. I'll see you guys soon.


Hello and welcome, and today is a big day. Why is it a big day? Because this is the last round in the red light therapy body panel showdown where I compare these six leading body panels That are well established in the red light therapy market and we announce a winner. I told you this is exciting So today we look at the warranty and everything else. So if I buy everything else I mean bells and whistles what they come with what they don't come with design features You know these are used features all those little things that are worthy of being included in a review But not their own category. So, um, my name is Alex and I'm from elixperius.com If this is the first video you have watched you just came here to see the winner I highly recommend going back to the start and going through the whole series because there's a lot of information and comparisons that I have done Over the last few days or weeks About these panels these six panels and if you want to see our overall summary Check out the next video I post because that is just going to condense everything into one without getting into the nitty gritty details That we have done over the last few days If you do want to go deep into the nitty gritty details and see all the numbers and measurements Head over to elixperius.com because I will be publishing all the data over there And you can sign up to my email over there and also jump on instagram Where I share a lot of insights and behind the scene shots And if you don't know anything about relight therapy everything you need to know about relight therapy is my very popular article It's in thousands of reads every week. So, um, head over to elixperius.com I'll put a link below as well and you can check that out. So Just to refresh you six panels mito red red therapy mito hq platinum led therapy juve And then red light rising That's what we'll be looking at One thing I should mention and um, you may have picked up on this at the end of round five I um, I did my math wrong. So, um, I Calculated the mito red score. I the calculation was done wrong I had them at 30 points which put them at third place And in fact, they should have had 32 points and remember less is better when it comes to these points So, um, in fact, they weren't third as I had Mentioned they were in fact fourth place Which meant a red light rising who I said were fourth actually come into third place now. So Um, and to to give you a heads up Uh, platinum currently leading 22 points juve second 29 points. Um red light rising third on 31 mito red fourth 32 Uh, and then mito hq fifth and 34 and red therapy And last place at 37 points. So warranty. Let's get into warranty. So Warranty is a big thing because these panels cost, you know, a lot of money, right? I mean six seven hundred bucks for the cheapest panel right through to 1200 for the juve the most expensive panel That's a big chunky change And um, if you are going to get to like stack them all together or you know Do one on the front and one on the side, you know, you're talking serious money here And now all these are all these panels are electronic devices. Um, there's a lot of moving parts with fans and and uh, there's a lot of Electronic components inside. So the last thing you'd want is to get one of these and then find out, you know, too much later It doesn't work, especially because you can't just take it back to the store down the road You know, most of these come I think all these companies only work, uh online. So They are heavy. They are bulky, you know, if you've thrown away the packaging which you often do You know to get this back to to headquarters It may be a lot of work and maybe a lot of costs And in fact, I've heard of horror stories where people haven't bought these panels and they haven't worked and Trying to get them back has ended up costing them a lot of money. So That doesn't really help with the warranty side of things, but we will cover that in the everything else section But if you ask me in this money, you do want to know that you've got the cover, right? And that's why I wanted to include warranty in this, um, showdown and and have it in its own Category rather than just lumping it in with everything else. So let's run through the warranty terms on all of these panels Mino read The mino max that has a two-year warranty Red therapy, which is pretty good. You know two years is a good time frame red therapy. Uh, also two years mino HQ two years platinum led They actually have a three-year warranty. So, um, that's really good. That's three years. I was quite surprised by that So it's very impressive juve two years And then read light rising they need to one-year warranty, which is a bit of a disappointment given that all the rest of two. I mean You know, I think two is the standard given, um You know four of the players at two and platinum at three. So That's a shame. So I mean scoring these guys on their warranty terms was easy. Um, because it's very easy to quantify that, isn't it? So, uh, working from the bottom up Red light rising in last place. So they get six points. Uh, and then we have four panels on second equal We have the mino read the red therapy mino HQ and then the juve They'll get two points for second equal and then the clear winner platinum led therapy Three-year warranty. So they get one point That leaves us with one round To see, uh, who is going to come out number number top. This is a tricky one and I I have I've gone through this so many times. I've changed their change of points around, you know How do you wait something in terms of this is better than that? It's it's very tricky. You'll see what I mean as I go through all these So I know you you're probably going to disagree with some of this stuff But hey, I just want to give you all information and then you can always You know go through all these videos and come up with your own scoring system and weight it based on what's more important to you The good thing is you've got all this information now. You don't have to agree with my scoring system. So let's go through The mino read mino max what I like about them or the everything else pros They included safety goggles. Now, I know this is a controversial topic. We've talked about it before. Um I personally don't wear goggles when I'm using the red light But if I am right in front of it, sometimes I do put them on I don't know. I don't know what to do. Well, to be honest, like it's still a tricky one But I like the fact that they include the goggles because then it gives the user the consumer the power to use it Or not Whereas if it didn't come to safety goggles, then you're more more likely not to use it, right? Because not many people have complete blackout safety goggles. So anyway, that was a nice plus Um, they offer financing, which is which is great.  So, you know, all of these have the cable going Behind the panel so you can't see it.  Oh, what is that?  I guess with the design like it'd be very easy to have that at the back Uh, so anyway, I had to give them a bit of a negative for that The other negative for these guys and it's a big one a lot of people brought it up The company's only been around for a couple months. So I'm filming this october 2019 The company started earlier this year. Um And you know, for some people they they don't like the fact that you know, they're new to the game and maybe they don't have the Support and the cash flow to what happens if they find out there's a product defect and they've got to do a massive recall or warranty issues and you know, they go bankrupt. There's all these concerns, right? But that's not a fault of might have it Because all new companies are new at some point all companies are new at some point, right?  Uh, so far like I've spoken to a few people that have these panels Um, I've spoken to the manufacturer They or the founder of the company, you know, everything looks good. I mean, they seem very legit There's only been one return issue that I'm not sure there's only one customer That bought them and had to return it because some of the leds were off. Um, I've got two of their panels Don't have any issues. I've had them for Five six months now, maybe since they first started work early on. So, you know, it's it's just one of those things I want to bring it up. Um, That's what I mean. This this whole section is very tricky. But anyway, that's the mitre red red light therapy Sorry red therapy Uh, red rush 720. So again, you'll notice at the top. I've got that same power point issue, which is which is a shame Um On the plus side, they also included safety goggles, which is great. They do have this extra wide design It's a lot wider than all the panels.  But um If you don't know that treatment, like you don't know where the light's going, right? You just see red everywhere So at least with a wider panel, you know, you're probably getting a lot more coverage Especially if you're an athlete or a bigger guy or girl Because otherwise, you know, when you're using these narrow ones and we'll get to this when we talk about the red light rising You think, well, do I have to do two halves? Like the way to the left side and the right side and then you spin around and do the back and then you're going to do it again So that's taken a lot of time. You know, if you're doing 10 minute sessions, that's a 10 minute and 10 minute You know, you're gonna spend an hour doing it. So the wider design is is really cool. Um They also came with a country specific power point. So, um, I'm in new zealand our plugs are different to america And uh, the panel came with a local plug So I didn't have to go out and buy travel with that after travel adapter and you know, have that ugly look on the The power point, uh, I don't know if I can show you that's just a bit out of reach But anyway, that was cool. Um, but I don't like like I said the power point at the top I don't like this There's like middle bands here, uh, so they're in therapy do a red rush 360 and it's Half one of these right and it looks like they've just joined them together and um put them in this new case But there's big like three four inch block there And so obviously there's no light coming out there and these LED's aren't angled down or anything. So you're gonna get like this blank zone, uh, and I know you'll still get some light but You know, like if you want to these are body panels, right? So this is like a top half and a bottom half and then you miss the belly button type area So, uh, let's let's look at the minor hq This is the the really cool black one and let's start on that Uh, yeah, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and and saw the black panel because um, it's very cool it's very very cool, especially when you turn it on and uh I don't know if I have the power on it's probably not going to show up in the um In the shop, but you know the black and the red. It's pretty pretty cool All right, especially because all the other panels are um White well used to be white. There's a few more color colors coming out now So, yeah, I really like the black, you know, if you want to put that in a Modern contemporary office or you know guest room or something like that or um or in a gym or yoga studio Like I think that looks really really cool. So I've got on them for doing that I'm sure we'll start seeing this with the other panels and coming years. What else if I go here extra white design again So that's another big plus Without the band this year It's the same height as the rest as well. So, uh, you know, you're definitely getting a bigger coverage area there. Um Three negatives the first one All of these panels have the option to select between the near infrared lights LED is working the red LED is working Um, or both, right? So 99 in fact the only time I've ever used whenever I use these I always use both Unless I'm testing which I've done the last few days Um, so that way of switches work and now most of the switches or all of the switches apart from this one are quite easy to use or should I mean They're quite easy to see Which lights are working. So here you see it lights up might be hard to see but you see the light comes on So I can take a quick look at it and think all right. They're both working Now you maybe you may think well if there's light coming out, you know, it's working, right? But the thing is the near infrared light is invisible So there's been times and this has only been since I've been testing it Where I think the panel Is on because there's red light going but then later on I realized the near infrared light wasn't switched on Well, this happened with MITRE HQ, which is why I wouldn't bring it up So with these panels, it's easy because you just look up. All right. Well, you know, the light isn't on the near infrared switch, right? So you flick it on With MITRE HQ The ear switches Don't have that light. There's no LED. I don't know if you can see this but there's just three black switches here and Even like, you know, you feel back there. You don't even know which one's on or off and a few times I'm flicking around waiting for a twist So I mean because it's very easy to turn that on the red light goes And then you've done your 20 minute session and then you realize the farm for red light wasn't working or that was a waste again It's nothing major, but I don't know. It's something I thought of and it kind of annoyed me. So that's negative. Um They're also a pretty new company Uh, especially in the red light space. So they sell MITRE HQ cell blue blockers They sell all sorts of mitochondrial support Supplements and and products and all sorts. They're a new company But they're also very new with the red light panel space. So, uh, I think they've probably been selling this for a year Maybe a bit over a year. So a little longer than MITRE HQ, but still a new sort of company The other issue and we covered this in the round one in the shipping and pricing around They only shipped Australia as of The time I'm recording this they say they're going to be shipping to the states At the end of the year. So we're getting close to that one or two months It wouldn't surprise me if it gets pushed back because I have been involved in e-commerce and getting overseas and and I know it's a lot of headaches Um, especially shipping a heavy panel like this and all the tax issues and import duties and The warehouse and logistics. So I don't know. I mean, I've given them a dinner for the doubt And you know, maybe two three months time they're shipping to the states I hope they do because it's going to add another panel to the market and you know more options for the consumer All right, um, but right now I'm reviewing these panels right now and unfortunately It's only available to Australian customers. So, um, yeah, that is a big sort of downside Um, switch is new so that's everything for my dohq Please have it over here Now we have the platinum So the first thing that I need to mention, which is new to these panels or that I've Uh, wasn't in these three previous panels Platinum led ymx range are all modular design Um, they have a modular capability expansion capability. I don't really know what's called Anyway, up the top here Up the top here I can unscrew these wire hooks And you'll see these two studs and these screws here At the bottom of the panel are some holes And what you can do is you can get another one of these If you press in the button You can get another one of these slide on the top and hang which is really really cool because then you have the whole head to toe Coverage all of these body panels Unless you're a child or quite short, they're not going to get your whole head to toe coverage But what you can do is you can get two of these put the man really easy and um, you have that whole head to toe Coverage plus they sell a rack where you can put the man and you can go side by side You know one here one there and get that wider width, you know that these ones have out of the box um So that's really cool. It's also cool because From a budgeting point of view if you want to um Get one this year and the next year get another one or save a bit of money or test it out You know you can simply clip it clip them in and and work on your dream setup Which is exactly what i'm doing to be honest, you know, even now and then I get another one I'm gonna stack it up and I know the end goal that I want to have with my my red light therapy setup So that's that's really cool. It's a really cool feature. Um I should note that if you order them Multiple panels in one order like if you go on the website down by two of these you do get a discount Which is great. I mean that that brings the price point even further down plus discount code alex a lex We'll give you a discount on all of these panels. Um So that's cool and plus they do financing as well So, you know if you want to build that dream setup from day one You might as well get the discounted order or get the discount deal Put a bit on financing if you have to and then you can start reaping the benefits of Red light therapy from from day one. Um, so yeah, that's the modular design built-in timer This is the other cool thing. Uh, let's hope you can see this up here There's a little screen up here with all the controls built in. Um, there is a switch on the back Power switch. So personally, I just leave that on all the time And that runs power to the um, the whole panel you'll notice these other switches and plugs here Therefore when you add another panel you clip them into there So you don't have to set the timer on each panel We just control it through one and it will send the data through which is cool But anyway, the timer up the top here You can select between time. So anything from zero to 20 minutes and then you can select between red light and the infrared light Um, hit okay, and then you've got the LEDs down here showing you which ones Uh, run it and then the countdown timer the timer starts counting down when it ends It kills power to the led.  It's pretty cool. It's a really cool feature actually. Um, I didn't value them at first But uh, because jude brought this out with the panel the second generation panel and I thought I was a bit of a gimmick But it's actually been pretty cool To have um, what else like I said, they offer financing options. It's great They also came with the i-goggles and other plus they also came with the country specific plug So that's great for us international customers and last of all We talked about experience in the industry these guys have been around for a very long time They've been in the high powered led space for nine years now. So platinum led Used to be or they still are they they make grow lights, right? Um They entered the red light therapy space about three years ago maybe four years ago and um, they brought on like some medical advisors because they realized man There's a lot to this and you know, the benefits are amazing And they took their knowledge and their logistics and supply chains and manufacturing capabilities And they came out with their first bioseries range. You know, this is the second generation the biomex range So these guys know what they're doing. They know you know, you're getting the quality products You know, the companies there to back them up, you know, they've got a three-year warranty, right? So you know in three years time this company's still going to still going to be around Which is the concern those I think Which is concerned readers of mine have had with these newer companies They're like, hey, yeah, sure they could offer a five-year warranty But what happens if the company's bankrupt in two years, which is a valid concern? Um, so anyway, these guys are the real deal and they make all their own panels They do a lot of research and it's why they've come out with this new biomex range with the re-engineered internals The low emf low flicker high power, you know wider spectrum wavelengths. So that's a big plus I couldn't find any negatives. Um You could say their designs a little bit boring, but that's only because you know, it's next to the school black one And really it's not boring. It's just that's just a standard, I guess Um, I don't know if you've got a negative. Please let me know because I'd love to hear I hope I don't come across a company and bias here, but it's hey, it's a good panel I mean, it's a reason why it's winning most of these rounds or in the top two or top three Let's move on to the juve Juve also has the modular design Uh, so you can see the holes at the top here and then I think Oh, the studs come separate. You screw them in. That's right. So these just unscrew and let's go on to the top there I wonder if I can connect these two together. That's something I should look into. Um, what else also have the built-in timer their time is a little bit I don't know if the power's on for this mustn't be Uh, their time is a little bit plain jane compared to the platinum one the platinum one is like an lcd screen It um has a little logo. This is just an old school digital timer, uh, which is all you need. Um You just adjust the time you hit play to start it And then you can select mode at the bottom here and choose between read and free or both. Um, you know, it's a timer You're not you're not uh, you're not buying these panels for a fancy screen. Um What else they also offer financing options They've been in the red light therapy space for three coming up four years now But they are well known and a lot of athletes and celebrities and influencers use their panels so that quite well known Downside is they didn't come with a local plug. So I had to get a travel adapter I can't remember if it came with a travel adapter or not They may they may have came with a travel adapter. I can't remember.  They got a lot of uh I've sought a lot of panels. Um, I do hear negatives about their customers customer support and some people have had issues with the returns I don't know if it's just a percentage thing You know, like 0.1 percent of the panels are faulty or whatever and because they're selling so many panels You you hear those stories a bit more. Um, I don't know. It's Just something that I thought I'd mention Uh, you know do your own research, but I mean, I've had their panels for a couple years now I've got three or four juice maybe maybe more. Um, one has some flickering lights I've been using that for Two years now, um, which is a nine only kicks in after 10 minutes. I have two of these and um One of them. Yeah, a roll of lights don't work at the bottom. So that's it. It's not great.  So, you know, that's not great, uh, especially because this is the most expensive panel But they do offer the two year warranty. So look keep that in mind There's one last benefit though that these guys have and it's it's quite powerful. They are fda class two medical device Approved or certified. I live in New Zealand. So I don't totally get the whole fda thing but I know that um, this is a big thing and I think it adds a lot of credibility not only to red light therapy Um, but to this particular company. So, you know If you're watching this, you're probably into red light therapy and by hacking and health and alternative health and all that sort of stuff And you probably read the articles like my benefits of red light therapy article and stuff and you know about it But if you're someone who's just, you know, a soccer mom and Their friends like hey, check out this red light device and they're like, okay And they go to the jew website and they see fda approved. Um, you know, that that's a big thing for them. So Good on them for getting it. Uh, I don't know the process of getting it I don't know if any every company can submit even I don't know how it works. But anyway, I've got it. So that's cool Finally, red light rising full stack The obvious thing is the design a lot taller than all these panels Um And the color so I really like the red, uh, probably not as much as the black, but it's pretty cool Uh, the taller design is great because you are getting more coverage Uh, but on the downside, it's a lot narrower. So like I said before, you know, do you do one half and the other half Plus I got these bands So I wonder, you know, I thought it was all stacked together without these bands. Would it just be the same high as this? Who knows? Um, you know, it looks pretty cool. I was really When I opened their box that was before I saw this black one. I was like, wow, this is cool Uh, what else? What else? What else? They also came with the country specific plug, which is great. Um Negative with these guys though is the switches Are on the back. So you got to reach over the top and flick them on and it's weird. They flick different ways. So It's just weird. Um, they light up so you can tell, you know, which which colors are working But um, I don't know. I'd much prefer them on the top or on the side Because if you've got that bolted on the wall or like hanging from the wall, you come, you know, you just go Ah, it's just annoying Annoying things, you know, but uh, that's that's it. That's really like origin. So those are all my comments on the uh, everything else section and I've probably missed some things and I've probably overplayed some things and unplayed others. Um But anyway, these are my thoughts and uh, you're more than welcome to do your own review or leave your own comments I'm curious if you have some of these panels, you know, maybe you've had juve and had problems or you have juve And you haven't had problems or you know, you've tried the modular design and it doesn't work as well as it should Whatever like leave the comments below because I'd love to hear them and I'm sure other readers or viewers who are coming here To get information to help them make an informed decision would love to hear these viewpoints as well So let's do the rankings now This was very very hard because like I said earlier, how do you how do you quantify this? I mean The safety goggles do the scores. It was very very tricky and I I changed it so many times But at the end of it, I realized, you know what there are two There are two clear standouts and then there's everyone else. So what I've done is um awarded juve first place for this round uh, primarily because They have their fda approval. Otherwise Platinum and juve probably would have been first equal. Um So I've given platinum second place. All right, but in the scheme of things it doesn't affect the outcome of the overall score Okay, or the overall ranking. So I've given juve first. I've given platinum second because I didn't have any negatives for them Um, and it was just simply because juve had the fda approval that I gave them number one But then these guys do have the eye goggles that juve don't have Um, and they did come with the country specific plug. So you could argue they should have got number one But anyway, it's done. Uh, so first second and then everyone else I gave third equal Because I changed it so many times. I was like, oh Well, this one's really cool because of the design and then it's wider But then it's a new company and they're only in australia and then out of the switch is really annoying me Uh, so then that was the downside and you know, my dough read over here Like it's it's a brand new company But then they offer the safety goggles and they do financing and they came Um, oh no, so, you know what I mean? Like it's it got really confusing And I'm sorry if if you're a big fan of one of these panels or maybe you're the company You know the founders of these companies go. Hey, that's not fair. Like I should have been better You know share those thoughts. Honestly, like I know I'm going to get criticism for this But it was never meant to be a scientific exam or a review. It was just my review. So, um, Yeah, 30 cool for everyone. So first second 30 cool So let's do the total points for round six and this is just for this round the warranty and everything else In sixth place We had the red light rising full stack and that was just because of their one year warranty That's why they fell so much down there. So they got nine points Uh, then we had a third equal Which was these three panels And they all got five points and then first equal Platinum and jufe and they got three points apiece. So now we can do the total points for the red light therapy body panel showdown after six rounds So let's go from the bottom up in sixth place We have Which is last sorry We have the red light therapy. I didn't mean to laugh It's a place that's last in this case because there's only six panels Uh, red light therapy red rush 720 um We'll give a quick spill Unfortunately, they just fall short in a lot of the areas the emf was a big one price Wasn't oh the price was okay, but They're consistently at the bottom end of the the reviews. So that's why they mean it up at the bottom So that's a shame. Maybe a second generation product will will improve fifth place We have with 40 points so 42 for red light therapy 40 points for the Red light rising full stack and it was very close between them. Um Well, it's spread out a bit them in fourth place was only a point difference red light rising full stack Unique design, which is great. Um But yeah, just just missing in a few few areas Amazing for flicker though. Like the only one that had zero flicker, which is great in fourth place We have the mito hq mito panel with 39 points only a point difference um Being restricted to australia at the moment is a big downside Um, but there's a lot of cool things about this panel and I think if they can get into the american market, you know, it'll be great Um All right, and now we get to the uh business end in third place We have On 37 points The mito red mito max So this was I think it was the cheap Well, maybe it was the cheapest panel. I think it was the cheapest panel was like so long ago I did round one needed to pull up all of that and they pretty much well rounded Good panel. All right, nothing fancy. They don't have the building time is Uh, they don't have the more excuse me modular design and all that they just do the basics really well 660 850 good power Good emf level. It's good. It's like a good price good, um Warranty, you know two years though. They are a new company, which we just spoke about but anyway, that's third place We're just good because I've been using this for a while. No, I do like this panel So, um, I think they'll be happy with that result given they've only been in the market for Yeah, less than a year to come out third place out of six So good on mito red. Uh now in second place, we have juve juve solar And to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised with how these guys hold up and how this panel held up The bit the most power by a long shot.  I think they had some of the best emf numbers as well So that was that was also really good. Uh, no, maybe not quite the best, but they were up there Um modular design. They've got all the bells and whistles built-in timer and all of that Um The downside is the price They're like four five hundred dollars more expensive than these other panels and there's no discount code as well So discount code alex gives you a discount on all these panels. However, if you use discount code Alex for juve, it's not discount code. It's a promo code. You get a free book or free supplements So given that they're already at like that $1200 mark, you know, not to get a 5% or you know, even a 10% discount um It's that's that's a bit off-putting. They do have the FDA approval though. So that's cool. But um Yeah, I mean All right, so that leaves one panel left and of course that is the platinum led therapy Biomax 600 and these guys come out number one after six rounds of testing and are going to be For 2019 the uh, official alex fergus dot com Approved uh highly recommended body panel So what can I say about them? I mean they've done very very well great power great emf great price Point like really good price point 5% discount code as well with alex. Um The extra wavelengths, you know, they've got the a few extra near and free wavelengths, which is unique None of these other panels did that um Lots of experience, you know, it's a company that you can trust and rely on they've been in the in the game for nine years Three-year warranty. I mean that's a huge piece of mind Combined those two points together, you know, the company that's been in the space for nine years Plus they're offering a three-year warranty a good, um price points Good support you can go on their website find their phone number You know, it's all over the web every page has their phone number, which is great You know, some other companies. It's so hard to find a contact form. I like a contact phone number or email address So that's another big plus. Um I'm impressed. I like the panel my wife likes the panel I was talking about my dream set up before and I can give this away now that um, you know That the screen is all done my dream setup is to get two of these And two of their bigger brothers. Now. This is actually a funny thing. I'm gonna do a follow-up video So you're gonna you're gonna have to hang around and watch this. I don't know when it'll be out Maybe a day or two. So I'm gonna follow up because there's actually a little bit of a sneak peek surprise Not a surprise just something to think about uh after all this review something that might you might think uh, well Maybe that was a better option.  It's a good price. Good company. Good service Good shipping good features. It does everything really well and uh There's a reason why it came out seven points ahead of second place 25 points and then 32 and 37 So, you know, that was well ahead of the rest. Uh at one point there, you know Juve was given a good run for the money, but um You know the extra warranty um A few other little things wavelength has made made it stand up. Look, that's it for this round Like I said, I'm gonna do an overall Summary video where I just go through the the key points of every panel Uh, that's more designed for someone that doesn't want to go through this whole series and just wants to watch this Chances are if you're watching this video, you probably don't need to watch the overall video Um, but I'm gonna be publishing that so make sure you hang around for that Subscribe below hit over to alexfigus.com check out the blog over there. I'll put a link below because um I'll put all the data over there for for this test so you can see exactly what um What the measurements were and all of that? Um Also hang around On my website and and youtube channel because what I want to do I want to do some more reviews like this. So I just want to do Uh A target target review so they call them target panels. So these are like a handheld panel All right, so that red light horizon target device the juve go battery powered one Um, I'm going to see what what else are out there just small panels. I'm going to do one of them All right a review a bigger review for them. So it'll be the same things disempowering everything like that I also want to do a low-powered Um panel reviews. So that's like the true light davespri's brand the jimbered Um the rejuvenator if I can get my hands on that because there's a lot of secrecy around their product And it's very very expensive. So I'd love to test that And there's also compare those panels to the grow lights you see on amazon and alibaba So I want to do that that's going to be happening And then I also want to do a mid-sized panel. So You know like half or you know a third size because a lot of these companies do this I might OHQ do a small one Might a red do a small one. I think juve do a mini Platinum do a small one. So I'm going to try to do that as well So I've got lots of reviews coming up. I'm also hoping to use these tools. I have The light meter in particular and I might do a blue block is blue light blocking glasses Review as well. So be sure to subscribe head over to alexfix.com jump on my email list Um find me on instagram see what i'm doing on the farm and everything like that and um Leave your comments below and if you want to buy any of these panels I probably should have mentioned this earlier. I am affiliated with all of these companies every single one of them Now I did that because I didn't want to just choose the one that I recommend or use Instead I was like I'll be affiliated with all of them. And so there's no bias like I don't have any Favorites so to speak If you buy any of these panels using my discount code or promo code I get a cut if you don't use the code or the promo code or the discount code or promo code I don't get a cut But you don't get a discount. So it's a win-win, right? But you don't have to do that You can go find someone else's code, but if you have enjoyed all this work You know, it's been a good week or so More filming or less and editing it. It's cost me a lot of money You know that meter was $3,000 like it's been a lot of money on this project Um, getting some of these panels has been very very expensive, especially with shipping to the new zealand Our big panel. So I really do appreciate the support if you can use that discount code or promo code Um, it really does help me do this and it will help fund those other projects And I'll continue putting that content like this. Um Yeah, if you buy the juve by the way Like I said, they don't do a discount code But if you use code alex, you'll be able to get a free gift You've got to do that right at the checkout screen at the end. It's a little bit confusing But um alex alex and alex works for all these other panels as well So I'm going to sign up now sign off now I will do that overall video soon and then stay tuned. Maybe I'll put it in the blog Maybe I'll put it at the bottom of the blog article So, you know what hit over to alexfigures.com See all the notes for this and then at the bottom I'm going to do a little Thought-provoking piece or a little bonus piece. Um And there I'll reveal my dream setup. I won't do a video on that. I don't think yeah, I'll do it in the blog alexfigures.com There'll be a link in the show notes directly to the article Uh, otherwise just google alex fergus red light showdown That's all I hope you've enjoyed this ride Um, if you've missed any of the rounds and the comparisons go back and um watch them from the start It was really fun doing this and I'm looking forward to doing it with those other panels If there's any other panels you want me to test or include in these reviews Leave them below as well And uh, I'll do my best to try and source those panels and or products All right, that's it. Bye. Bye


The Assange case explains simply One of the most common reasons I hear from people on their reluctance to wade into the Assange debate is that they don't understand it It looks like a complicated issue to them. So they leave it to the experts In reality the complexity of this case is a complete illusion. It is very very simple It only looks complicated because many years of media distortion have made it appear so The US government is trying to extradite a journalist and prosecute him under the espionage act for exposing its war crimes With the long-term goal of normalizing this practice That's it. That's the whole entire thing So simple you can sum it up in a single sentence in a single breath The most powerful government in the world setting a legal precedent Which would allow it to extradite any journalist anywhere on earth for exposing its malfeasance Would unquestionably have a massive chilling effect on journalism everywhere and precisely the area where press scrutiny is most sorely needed It's not any more complex or nuanced than that The Assange issue is simple What makes it seem complicated is the lies people have been fed by the media class whose job is to manipulate the public Into consenting to the agendas of the US power alliance and its war machine Because of this mass scale smear campaign You will be told that Assange is not a journalist and should therefore not be defended as such This is first of all objectively false Providing the public with factual information about the powerful which helps them understand their world better is the thing That journalism is which is why Assange has received many awards for journalism More to the point Assange wouldn't need to be a journalist for worldwide press freedoms to be gravely threatened by his prosecution for publishing authentic documents about the US government You will be told that Assange helped Trump win with WikiLeaks publications that harmed the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign and should therefore not be supported But the Assange extradition case has nothing to do with the 2016 WikiLeaks releases The entire case revolves around the Chelsea Manning leaks from years earlier about the US military's scandalous abuses in Iraq and Afghanistan More to the point only the most infantile of Narcissists would believe it's legitimate to imprison people for hurting your preferred candidates political campaign You will be told that Assange is being prosecuted for hacking and not journalism Because the US indictment alleges that Assange tried to help Manning crack a password while taking classified documents But it does not allege that Assange made any attempt to help Manning gain access to those documents The indictment says that Manning already had access to the computers in connection with her duties as an intelligence analyst and That Assange's attempts would only have made it more difficult for investigators to determine the source of the illegal disclosures As explained in 2019 by journalists Glenn Greenwald and Micah Lee the latter of whom happens to despise Assange This means Assange was engaged in the standard journalistic practice of source protection Anyone who says Assange tried to hack into US government servers is either lying or misinformed You will be told that Assange is a Russian asset because of still unproven allegations by the US government that the Kremlin was behind the 2016 releases But this claim is completely baseless and again completely unrelated to the 2010 Manning publications for which Assange is actually being prosecuted No serious media publication has ever reported that the Assange extradition case has anything to do with the 2016 WikiLeaks publications But because so many people heard Assange's name mentioned during the mass media's discredited Trump Russia collusion narratives You'll constantly see people assuming that one is related to the other Do you see how that works? Do you see how what's actually happening with the Assange case is extremely simple and easy to understand? But all the narratives justifying his persecution makes it necessary to engage in a bunch of complicated counter arguments This obfuscation didn't happen by accident Which is why I refuted as many such distortions as possible in this long article written after Assange's imprisonment The most powerful government in the world trying to lock up a foreign journalist for telling the truth is as Insanely tyrannical and abuse as you could possibly come up with It's as obvious as it gets The Assange case is so simple and so common sense It should be one of the most mainstream normie positions anyone could possibly have Right up there with believing racism is bad and child molesters should be stopped It's only because imperial spin meisters muddy the waters with lies and distortions that this isn't happening Everyone should oppose the agenda to normalize the imprisonment of journalists who embarrass the u.s. Empire This shouldn't be a job left to fringe bloggers podcasters and youtubers It should be happening in every sector of society across the entire political spectrum The fact that a very large sector of the population fails to see this as a priority issue Shows you just how brainwashed the empire's propaganda engine has made us
