Thank you for your article in Cancer News re the meeting
on "The Impact of Architectural Lighting on Breast
Cancer". As a lighting researcher whose mother and sister
both died of breast cancer, I am very interested in letting
people know about the medical community's increasing
interest in this subject. A large part of my own research
currently is directed at developing and making available
lamps and glasses that eliminate the blue portion of light
that suppresses the production of melatonin. These allow
people to function normally after dark, i.e., read, watch
television, work on their computer, etc., while their pineal
gland functions as if they were in the dark. I encourage
anyone who may be interested in the effects of artificial
light and related health matters to PubMed.gov or
Google.com and type in "light, breast cancer, melatonin" .
If you are at all interested information on the lamps and
glasses that I mentioned, please contact me.
