I've heard of blue light for Seasonal Affective Disorder. Blue and red flashing means I'm gonna have a bad day if it's behind me. Red's a new one on me....

I have also heard of people with psoriasis using and benefiting from tanning centers.

I understand Dr. Oz promoted red light therapy on his tv show, which immediately makes me think it's probably bogus. I know there are legitimate therapies involving light, like for jaundiced babies and various skin conditions and SAD, but this is a new one to me and I haven't found anything I'd consider a reputable source supporting it, all I found in a quick search is hearsay and anecdote.
