Welcome to a new era of immune health in La Mesa, El Cajon, Lemon Grove, and East County San Diego. If you're struggling with chronic fatigue, recurrent infections, or autoimmune symptoms—or if you're simply looking to optimize your wellness—Dr. Linette Williamson offers a holistic, science-backed approach to immune support that goes far beyond conventional care.
At her renowned integrative medicine clinic, just a short drive from La Mesa, patients gain access to powerful tools like TheraLumen therapy, ozone treatments, and EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation)—all designed to restore the body’s natural defenses and detox systems.
Immune health isn't just about taking supplements or avoiding germs—it's about energizing the cells, detoxifying the body, and retraining the immune system to function optimally. Dr. Williamson’s clinic specializes in precisely this, offering personalized, comprehensive programs that support each patient’s unique biology.
What Is TheraLumen Therapy?
TheraLumen is an advanced intravenous light therapy that uses the combined science of photobiomodulation and photoluminescence to activate the body’s healing systems on a cellular level. Offered through Dr. Linette Williamson’s integrative clinic, TheraLumen is now available to patients in La Mesa seeking natural, restorative support for immune health, detoxification, and chronic illness recovery.
Unlike external LED panels or red light facials, TheraLumen introduces therapeutic light directly into the bloodstream via a closed-loop IV system. This allows the light to interact with your blood in real time, delivering powerful, systemic benefits that reach far beyond the surface.
What Is Photobiomodulation?
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a biological process in which cells absorb light energy—specifically from red and near-infrared wavelengths—which stimulates mitochondrial function. The mitochondria are the energy-producing components of your cells, and when exposed to these wavelengths, they increase their output of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the body’s key energy molecule.
What Is Photoluminescence?
Photoluminescence is a technique that involves exposing blood to light in order to trigger beneficial biological responses. Historically used in UV blood irradiation (UVBI), photoluminescence with TheraLumen uses safe, visible light wavelengths—primarily violet light—which makes TheraLumen a gentler, safer advancement over older ultraviolet-based therapies.
The Power of the Light Spectrum
TheraLumen utilizes three specific light wavelengths:
- Red Light (630–660 nm): Boosts mitochondrial function and cellular energy
- Violet Light (405 nm): Provides antimicrobial and immune-calming effects
- Infrared Light (810–850 nm): Enhances circulation and oxygenation
Together, these wavelengths deliver a comprehensive biological impact, improving the function of immune cells, red blood cells, and plasma proteins as they circulate throughout the body.
How TheraLumen Enhances Immune Function
Boosts ATP Production and Immune Cell Energy
At the heart of TheraLumen’s effectiveness is photobiomodulation—the process by which red and infrared light stimulate the mitochondria (the power plants of your cells) to produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is critical for immune cell function, powering processes like:
- Pathogen recognition and response
- Cellular repair and replication
- Inflammatory signal modulation
Improves Circulation, Oxygenation, and Detoxification
Infrared wavelengths used in TheraLumen also enhance blood flow and oxygen delivery, ensuring that cells get the nutrients and oxygen they need to function and regenerate. At the same time, improved microcirculation supports more effective detoxification through the liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system.
This is essential for:
- Clearing inflammation-causing toxins
- Supporting recovery from mold, Lyme, or viral exposure
- Enhancing cellular waste removal
Reduces Inflammation and Modulates the Immune Response
Using photoluminescence, particularly with violet light (405 nm), TheraLumen helps recalibrate the immune system. This means calming overactive responses (such as in autoimmune conditions) while still empowering the body to fight infections.
Key immune-modulating benefits include:
- Reduction of inflammatory cytokines
- Support for regulatory T-cell function
- Decrease in oxidative stress and tissue damage
Who Should Consider TheraLumen in La Mesa?
Chronic Fatigue, Long-Haul COVID & Post-Viral Syndromes
Persistent fatigue, brain fog, and immune sluggishness after viral infections like COVID-19 or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are increasingly common. These symptoms often stem from mitochondrial burnout, low oxygenation, and unresolved inflammation.
TheraLumen helps by:
- Boosting ATP through red light-driven photobiomodulation
- Improving cellular oxygen utilization via infrared wavelengths
- Reducing immune stress with violet light exposure
This therapy is particularly supportive for those navigating long COVID or post-viral fatigue syndromes.
Autoimmune Conditions: Lupus, Hashimoto’s, RA
Autoimmune conditions can leave patients caught in a cycle of inflammation, tissue damage, and immune confusion. TheraLumen offers a gentle yet powerful immune reset—calming overactivity while still supporting healthy immune defense.
For patients with:
- Lupus
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Chronic Infections: EBV, Lyme Disease, Mold Toxicity
Complex infections can deeply tax immune and detox systems. Whether you're dealing with Lyme disease, chronic EBV, or mold/mycotoxin exposure, TheraLumen enhances the body's natural ability to detox and defend:
- Violet light supports pathogen suppression
- Red and infrared light improve tissue oxygenation and mitochondrial repair
- Immune modulation helps prevent overstimulation and flare-ups
Post-Vaccine Immune Imbalance
Some patients experience prolonged symptoms or immune shifts after vaccinations. Whether you’re dealing with lingering fatigue, inflammation, or dysregulation, TheraLumen offers a non-invasive method to recalibrate immune function and reduce oxidative stress—without pharmaceuticals.
Wellness-Minded Individuals Seeking Prevention
Even if you're not sick, TheraLumen serves as a proactive immune and detox enhancer. Patients focused on prevention, longevity, and cellular optimization often incorporate TheraLumen into their long-term health plans to:
- Boost immune surveillance
- Support regular detoxification
- Enhance energy and brain clarity
- Reduce inflammation from daily environmental exposures
FAQs About TheraLumen
Is TheraLumen safe for autoimmune patients?
Yes, TheraLumen is safe and well-tolerated by patients with autoimmune conditions, including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Because TheraLumen does not stimulate the immune system indiscriminately but rather modulates immune activity through photoluminescence and photobiomodulation, it helps to calm overactive responses while still supporting overall immune resilience.
Unlike pharmaceuticals that suppress immunity, TheraLumen works to restore balance—making it an excellent supportive therapy for those with autoimmunity.
How many sessions do I need?
The number of sessions depends on your individual health goals, lab markers, and condition severity. Patients using TheraLumen for chronic fatigue, long COVID, or detoxification typically begin with a series of 4 to 8 sessions, spaced weekly or biweekly.
Wellness-focused patients may choose to continue on a monthly maintenance schedule to keep immune and cellular function optimized.
During your consultation, Dr. Williamson will develop a customized plan based on your:
- Health history
- Immune and inflammatory markers
- Mitochondrial and detox function
- Symptoms and long-term goals
Can TheraLumen be combined with EBOO, NAD+, or ozone therapy?
Absolutely. In fact, TheraLumen often works best when integrated with other advanced therapies available at our clinic. Many patients choose to combine it with:
- EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation): A powerful therapy for toxin removal and immune oxygenation
- IV NAD+ Therapy: To support mitochondrial regeneration and cognitive clarity
- Ozone Therapy: For immune modulation and antiviral/antibacterial effects
These therapies can be safely layered or alternated for a comprehensive immune and detox strategy—all tailored to your unique needs.
Is TheraLumen covered by insurance?
Currently, TheraLumen is not covered by most insurance providers, as it is considered a functional, regenerative therapy. However, HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) and FSAs (Flexible Spending Accounts) may be applied toward treatment costs depending on your plan.
Dr. Williamson’s clinic is transparent about pricing and will review your options during your initial consultation. Many patients find the value of improved energy, reduced symptoms, and better immune function well worth the investment.
