Introduction: Reviews

Thank you for coming

Satori-5 webmaster Gordon D McHendry on a rare good day in 2000...

Hi
         Welcome to Satori-5's Reviews section. This webpage will provide me with a golden oportunity for sharing with you the cream of my numerous experiences with a wide range of health related products; from full spectum lightbulbs to the most effective food supplements; from the best books, booklets, cd's and videos, to the best bio-electric healing devices; from organic foodstuffs, clothing and bedding to various water purification systems; from ionisers and air-purifiers to far infrared saunas. Although the general thrust here will always be positive there will be a few surprises along the way - and the occasional bumpy ride!

         The reader should be aware and reassured at the outset that I have no connection whatsoever with any of the manufacturers or distributors mentioned on this webpage. Unless otherwise stated the views expressed here are my own and are honest and unbiased. The reader should also be aware that a happy experience for me with any particular product need not necessarily translate to a happy experience for you with the same product. We are, thank God, all different and what works well for one person might not work as well for another - if at all. Having said that it is also true that we are all fundamentally similar. The asprin that cures one man's headache will also cure the headache of millions of others so there is always room here for optimism.

         If you are a manufacturer or distributor and have a good product that is relevent to the ethos of Satori-5 that you would like to see reviewed on this webpage then please email the webmaster with full details and we can take it from there. Same goes for any visitor that knows of a helpful product - please share your knowledge with us.

         To get the ball rolling Review No-1 kicks off with "Full Spectrum Bio-Light Lightbulbs" - and you can access it via the menu immediately below. As always your feedback would be most welcome. Additionally, if you know of any information or resources that would improve any review given on this webpage then please share it with us via the usual webmaster link or the Satori-5 PO Box Number given on the homepage. Cheers!

Namaste
Yours Sincerely
Gordon D McHendry

Review Article 01

Full Spectrum Lightbulbs

March 2004

"And the Earth was without form,
and void, and darkness was upon
the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
And God said "Let there be light..."

Genesis: Chapter 1, verse 2.
         Light! We tend to forget just how fundamental and important light is to us. Plants wouldn't live long without it and, consequently, as a viable speices we wouldn't either. We kind of just take it for granted - don't we? I mean, we get up in the morning and there it is again - as always. And if ever we find that we don't have quite enough of it, perhaps because we are indoors, then we just flick a switch and - et viola - our very own little mini-genesis! So, all in all, we don't really have to give the matter very much thought - do we? And we certainly don't have any reason whatsoever to worry about getting enough of the stuff - right? Well, no actually - unless you happen to be an outdoor worker or some kind of outdoor enthusiast then you probably should worry - because the chances are very good that you are simply not getting anywhere near enough of the right kind of light.

         Ask yourself this: how much of the light that enters your eyes and brain in any 24 hour period is natural, full-spectrum daylight - as opposed to how much artificial light enters them from a myriad of technological gadgetry like basic home and workplace lighting; from streetlights, computer monitors, from televisions set and cinema screens? Even during those increasingly rare occasions when we are out and about in daylight hours for an extended period how much of the natural light is "filtered" by sunglasses, car, bus, and train window glass, etc? Modern life seems to be just full of ways of depriving us of one of our most fundamental of needs: the need for natural, full spectrum daylight.

         If we simply go on depriving ourselves of sufficient amounts of this wonderous substance we call sunlight then our physical, emotional, and psychological health will inevitably suffer as a direct result. Just as we need to take extra vitamins and minerals to supplement the nutritionally bankrupt and chemically contaminated food that is foisted onto us by the processed food industries, so too do many of us need to mitigate our almost constant and ongoing, multi-level deficit of natural, full-spectrum daylight by supplementation; especially if we suffer from a chronic illness and are confined indoors a lot. Fortunately, we can all have a constant supply of this "light supplement" in our daylight starved lives and in a very effective way too - via good quality "full spectrum" bio-light lightbulbs!

Life Energy & Narva Tronic

         Not too long ago, in common with many ME/CFS and MCS/TILT sufferers [particularly so when these conditions are severe], I was finally rendered unable to tolerate looking at TV screens or computer monitors for very long before being made disablingly ill by them. This was a particularly cruel blow for me as computers have been a large part of my life in one way or another since the late 70's when the first one I had access to stood 8 feet tall and half as wide. I also joined the early days of home computing giving up a 20 year smoking habit to fund the purchase of an 8-bit Amstrad CPC 6128. When the 16-bit computers came along I was right in there with an Amiga 500 - then Amiga 1500 - writing, during that period, the critically well received "Basic Note Tutor" music software for that ground-breaking Amiga range of home computers. Finally, making the big leap to the ubiquitous PC about 8 years ago mostly to escape the brutally primative and, in my opinion, very dangerous Amiga range of computer monitors [but that is another story for another day - over in the Hazardous Radiations Sickness [HRS] section].

         I love computers. I love the Internet. Having these things all but taken away from me by what I view as a evil combination of the VDU Terminal Sickness, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity illnesses was a long and very difficult journey indeed. Made all the more difficult by the fact that these illnesses [especially in combination] steal so much of your life away anyway - right across the board - making those little bits that are left relatively unscathed expand to become extraordinarily important to you. Riding a downward spiral of ever decreasing circles however I ended up down to a maximum of about 20 mins use per day when well enough to tolerate it at all - and I paid dearly for even that tiny treat. But needs must as the devil drives - eventually I found a way around all of that in which Full Spectrum Lightbulbs played a major part. And what is more - I discovered that the answer I found really does work longterm...


         For me the solution to "monitor madness" [as I called it then] was in two distinct parts. First up was the ditching of my old CRT computer monitor for a new TFT LCD model with TCO 99 saftey built in. This made a huge difference in itself - but it didn't solve the problem entirely. Although I could now stay on my computer for much longer periods [if my ME/MCS allowed it] without my brain going quickly and seriously awol - my brain was still being badly affected beyond about 2 hours of use even with several short breaks thrown in. Then I discovered Full Spectrum Lightbulbs. As you can see in the photographs above I have two lamps [with Narva Tronic bulbs] either side of my laptop and a high central lamp [with a Life Energy bulb] above my main PC. This arrangement has completely solved the weird neurological brain stuff that had been increasingly killing my PC life for ages before. My PC and Laptop use is now only limited by the ME/MCS symptoms themselves, the other HRS problems are now just no longer an issue - or at least no longer a serious one. Now, if only I could afford that new Plasma TV :)

         Ok, now for some techy data on the Life Energy and Narva Tronic FS lightbulbs. The Life Energy product was my first experience of Full Spectrum Lightbulbs - and I was well pleased. I believe I paid about £25 per bulb back then. I don't know what they cost now as I have not been able to source a present supply and my email enquiry to the German based company has gone unanswered. However, I do have a supplier for you for the Narva Tronic ones. These are reasonably priced at £60 for four or £70 for five but there are a few technical differences between these two makes of Bio-Light Lightbulbs.

         First up is the fact that the Life Energy bulbs come in at a brighness of 1.500 lumens while the Narva Tronic ones come in 300 lumens less at 1.200 lumens. Then comes a difference in "Colour Temperature": the Life Energy bulbs win out again here coming in at 6500k with the Narva Tronic coming in a little further down the spectrum at 6000k. Both makes last a long time and both rate here at a mere 23watt - although lower wattages are available too. Size-wise and appearance-wise they are almost identical. Where the Narva Tronic bulbs win out hands down though is on cost - and, in the UK at least, availability also [if you know different please do let us know]. Both these makes of bulbs work just fine for me - although I do prefer the extra brightness and colour range of the Life Energy ones and, frankly, I don't mind paying that little bit more to get the extra benefit of those "nearer to the real thing" goodies.

         For more information - technical and otherwise - you can visit both these manufacturers websites from the links provided below:

         Additionally you can really do your homework here on Full Spectrum Light in general by reading the following articles: both of which are excellent introductions to the subject. The first is a Life Energy onsite article and the second is located here at Satori-5 in the Alternative Health section of the "Articles" supplement. You can even download some good stuff for offline reading or printing from Satori-5's "Downloads Page":

         At the time of writing this review article I am sorry to say that I have still not managed to find a supplier for the excellent Life Energy bulbs. If anyone out there knows of a source where these can be purchased then please do let us know and I will update this article with the necessary information.

         I do however have a supplier for the Narva Tronic ones. I have personally used this small, friendly, and very helpful mail-order company for various things for a few years now and haven't the slightest hesitation in recommending them to you; they are called "Regenerative Nutrition". Readers of the excellent "Nexus Magazine" will know them well as they have advertised regularly there for ages now. It is run by the health researcher and Homeopath John Claydon D.Hom. Work on the Regenerative Nutrition Website is underway as I write this and when it finally launches I will add their web-address to this article so that you can visit them directly - but meantime you can purchase the Narva Tronic bulbs from them at the following address:
