1. A method of treating a subject having a neurodegenerative condition, said method comprising:
exposing said subject to light produced by alternately blinking a first light source and a second light source,
where the first light source produces a blinking first light, where the first light comprises a blue spectral component,
where the second light source produces a blinking second light lacking the blue spectral component or where the blue spectral component of said second light is smaller than the blue spectral component of the first light,
where the first light and the second light have substantially the same luminance, where the blinking of the first light and the second light is at a frequency ranging from 20 Hz up to 60 Hz, at an intensity and duration sufficient to mitigate a symptom of said neurodegenerative condition, or to slow or stop the progression of said neurodegenerative condition; and
where the second light supplements the first light so that the blinking of said first light when combined with the second light from said second light source is substantially undetectable by said subject.
