Sunlight and Your Health: An EnLIGHTening Perspective 

Great information. 😊

Sun is important for our sanity too

I live in San Diego. Yesterday I took a nap for 3 hours felt so good from the sun in sure I've got more of a dose of vitamin D. Have a great day.😜😜😜

Too bad us in Canada are stuck with no uva/uvb till april and even then not adequate levels. Cannot wait to go south.

@@katiie7 You may tray in pills.more than 600 units per day in regular way

@Mambo Jambo Actually there is...you should take two to three vitamin D3 everyday if You're Not Innocent me location. Ir you are deficient, which most people are, it helps with sleep, depression, and fatigue.

@@Germatti13489 2 to 3 of what dose? 400 iu or 1000 iu.. I take 2000-3000iu in summer and 5-6000 iu through winter for this Canadian that cant get out much due to health.

what was wrong with you? and how much time did you spend in Sun

Same. I was so tired i couldn't sleep, i had insomnia. I could barely walk because i was dizzy and nerly started fainting. Vitamin d3 and k2 combo did cure my health issues totally.

Thanks for sharing🙏🏼 inspired me!

@@xantonify how much did you take?

@@mac2brown I took 25 000 iu for a few months then i take 10 000 iu d3 daily for maintaining my levels.

My level is 87 in my blood test.

Don't check it until next year because me and my ppl will submit the hidden affect of the moon on vitamin D and the moon's affect on excessively hairy ppl in certain areas of the world where the moon's rays are not clouded by pollution

is this a book u wrote

Thats because a suppliment gives you a tiny amount, 1000 IU. Half an hour in the correct sun (where there is UVB) looks to generate around 10,000 IU. The liver then converts this into a form that can last up to 3 weeks in the blood and is converted as needed by the kidneys into the active form of "Vitamin D" Where I live it is very hard to get UVB. In the UK UVB is only available during half of the year and only for around 2 hours a day while the sun is high enough. There is 0 UVB in winter here. None. Yet nobody is telling anyone to take the supplements! Even though they are only 1000 IU. As "Vitamin D" is not in the diet in significant amounts, the supplements should practically be posted through your door by the NHS to stop you getting so ill during winter.

@@dlarge6502 Hear! Hear!

Im interested in what you have since found on the subject.

And one of his other lecturers I believe it's called the delightful vitamin D or something like that that's here on RU-vid he talks about a lady who had terrible bone pain and she went to tanning beds look up the other video about him.

It all reminds of the happy lights used in Alaska.

Quiz: How many ‘indeeds’?

just take it in small doses and build up your strength to it - man as well as all animal and plant life was meant to live with the sun

For max Viamin D noon time is best to 2 hour before and 2 hours after

All day long! Whenever the SUN shines get out into it. Fishermen fishing all day long are the healthiest people on earth. IMHBPO

Krista Zurawski You have it exactly backwards. It’s the animal protein and fats that cause heart disease and cancer and diabetes. The science is very clear and overwhelming. Check out Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. Neal Barnard and others for a preponderance of real science on this. Be well

@@serendipify Cholesterol LDL and HDL are protective. But you want high HDL and high LDL, And triglycerides to HDL ratio you want less than one. It's the best predictor of cardio vascular risk and insulin sensitivity. It's insulin resistance from sugar and excessive carbohydrates, and bad oils (PUFA's) in our western diet that causes heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disease. Listen to Fundamental Health with Paul Saladino, look up Dave Feldman's Cholesterol Code. It will blow your mind! We've been lied to from bad epidemiology bad studies, ever since Ancel Keys false Seven Countries Study! Where he purposely left out countries, like France that eat red meat and saturated fats with little to no heart diseases, that didn't back up his hypothesis.

Pavlos Sideris pastured lard has the highest levels of D. You may still need a supplement to bring the levels up first (lab test needed to check that) and you need the sun in any case to activate the vitamin.

Yes it can

Yes that would happen when people do silly things with UV

We need the SUN just as God gave it to us. Living in a Big house and looking out will kill us. We need to be outside the house and live as they did many moons ago or quickly die . IMBPHO

Too much UVB burns your skin

You don't need the whole spectrum. UVA rays are damaging so that's one EMR you don't want extra exposure to. Get a UVB lamp or take vitamin D3, and get a Near Infrared (NIR) lamp - the sun emits infrared and the near wavelength is highly beneficial to the skin and body. He mentioned that exposure to the sun increases nitric oxide, well that comes from the sun's near infrared range.

UVB is the only part of the spectrum that we don't get in our artificial environments, that we would get from the sun. All others, UVA, Visible light, Infrared. All of it, we have plenty of, in out artificial environments. Its the UVB that is lacking.

Check the 'Osram Ultra Vitalux 300W' lightbulb, it has almost the full spectrum of sunlight. Ancient technology, now forbidden by 'Big Sunscreen'. I measured the output with a VEML6075 sensor and found it to output 27% UVB, the rest of UV energy ist UVA (zero UVC) and then very bright white light so you automatically squint when looking at it. I think it's as close to equatorial 12 'o'clock sunlight as possible. I didn't measure NIR or IR output but suspect not much, so for that you'd need one of those 660nm + 850nm LED arrays (which I also got). We use it during the winter, it significantly increases our mood and sleep quality (my sleep tracker says 8 hours and 3 hours of deep sleep every night, my wife even 4h deep). All my aches are gone. My blood pressure has dropped. I have more energy during the day. No seasonal flus/colds. VitD levels high, no supps needed. Can imagine more benefits but those are the ones we noticed. Great long lasting tan as well. We hang two of those bulbs 70cm away from our full naked body over the bed, one for upper body and one for lower body. We use microphone stands to get them that high up and you can move them around too. We do a 3-4 minutes front and then 3-4 minutes back. Start with one minute, check if you get red, then increase a minute every day. You should get a tan but not a burn, then you're getting enough. You can also just use one bulb, but then your legs will not get the preparation and protection for summer. Best would be a whole array and then more distance (1-1.5meter) so you get more even exposure, but this would mean more electricity used, so we use only two and move around a bit (turn face etc.) to get more spread out exposure. The 660nm + 850nm NIR/IR LED panels have proven to increase Collagen and repair damage from sunlight in the skin, we include this (red light therapy) to mitigate the detrimental effects of UVR on skin. All in all it's like living in the tropics and feeling good year round, yet scientifically administered and hopefully because no burn no cancer and because NIR/IR no wrinkles or spots. That's what science says anyway.

Yes, it’s true. Sunscreen is NOT good for us....they put s-- in it to cause skin cancer. All designed to keep you out of the sun... and sick.

Mineral based with zinc

Just cover your face with a hat.

you will get that in about 20 mins - even more in an hour

@@thisbullrocks6030 Blue light is strongest at noon. Better to expose before 10am and after 2 or 3 pm. These times will give you a full spectrum

@@Noor-jw2tn Before 10 am and after 2 pm, the ratio of UV-A exposure is much higher relative to UV-B exposure. You are better off sunbathing between 10 am and 2 pm, when the sun is higher in the sky and there is less atmosphere to impede UV-B rays.

@@TheUtuber999 between 10 and 2pm is best to get full exposure. You only need 15 minutes per day. You will not burn. Before that time is for different reasons. More for energy and allowing light into your eye gate without the blue light.

And one of his other lectures he says you don't have to wait at all it's already below the surface it's made in live skin tissue if I remember correctly. And remember it's dead skin skin cells we wash off

I remember hearing elsewhere that sun starts the process of making the "hormone" not vitamin D on the skin - 2 days showering without soap and only water helps with absorbtion.

@@rickknight3823 I think I posted here his second lecturer and he said the hormone is made below the first layer of skin so you can't wash it off that's a fallacy

@@rickknight3823 I also was under the assumption you should wait a while to shower because you'd wash the vitamin D that is actually a hormone not a vitamin off your skin it needed to be absorbed. But this scientist in another lecture said it's made below where you can wash it off

@@kathleenmurphy2379 we'll have to try and cross reference that bit of info then. This scientist doesn't look the healthiest.. although that may have nothing to do with his ability to absorb and create D hormone...

He changed my mind on getting tattoos. Still need to buy some blue light blocking glasses.

Can also turn CC on for video.

Every time with moderation.

Get in the SUN and if you are in an area where you never see the sun, then move to where the SUN still shines. Only the SUN will heal you. Pills cannot replace Natural Light! IMBPO

@@joncunningham9925 where does it shine!!! Im in cali and brr!

@@mac2brown YES frigid everywhere. Actually in west Texas. South America and the whole world is very cold now but this summer it will be hot in the USA and cold everywhere else. Israel also gets lots of sunshine. We're headed for a global Ice Age except for the United States this summer. They will cause heat and rain to stop the farmers planting. You watch. Stay warm and get as much of Sun's Vit.D as possible to stay healthy ! IMO!

Unfortunately, in Australia where there is plenty of sun, there is also plenty of skin cancer, melanoma.

@Dana M. - Amongst the non-natives primarily I imagine, and wonder what the correlation is to diet, lifestyle choices, and overall health.

Good question. Basically in the UK there is no significant UVB from the sun after October till May. I'm wondering why we are not told to supplement...

MOCHA100 BLU same here, but don’t do it until you see progress. Last June I went to the beach , I was under some trees and developed an allergy that has lasted until today. Anytime I go out to the sun even if is for 5 minutes I faint!

@@Data_-xw7yw my kid gets sun poison and faints too...so do I and we are dark!!!

I don't think he's saying anything about reducing what the doctor tells you to take by staying out in the sun.

Thanks! Most of the literature or videos definitely target one demographic. I simply have to guess or extrapolate from their given values.

They gatekeep a large portion of information that specially benefits dark skinned people

I healed my eyes after throwing out my sunglasses - I used to have a problem seeing distance - very sun sensitive - then I decided to get rid of them and I also take 12 mg of astaxanthin - now my vision is perfect - no glasses - I am 62... you need the uv light for sure

@@thisbullrocks6030 that's all u did to heal ur sight? That's amazing

pretty much - I take chlorella daily … as well as vit D - but I think getting rid of your sunglasses is key

This Bull Rocks I’ve not worn sunglasses my entire life. At 50 I needed cataract surgery.

God does not make mistakes in what he creates. IMO

Get a 660nm + 850nm LED array and expose the same area you expose to UVB. Get very close (0-30cm) and do 10-15 minutes sessions, once a day. Scientifically shown to improve collagen production and mitigate any damage done by UVR. Even protects for future UVR if done before. Many peer reviewed studies showing this, do a google.

Listen

Pills will never replace the SUN!!! Pills have so much junk in them that they will do more harm than good!!! IMO

True, has high particulate properties.

Bernie Sanders

Philippe Silva thanks

That thought occurred to me, too. There is something to be said for walking your talk and being a good role model. Do as I say, not ....

He can get his sunshine but doesn’t let himself burn. Remember getting 15 mins at the right time of day can give your body 20,000 iu that your body will store for days so there is no need to go out every day
