"Practical, energy-efficient alternatives to standard light bulbs, called compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), are now widely available in a variety of sizes and shapes. Many CFLs produce light that has a warm appearance, similar to that given off by an incandescent bulb. Although larger than ordinary light bulbs, CFLs are getting smaller and will fit in many light fixtures. Newer models contain electronic circuitry that make them lighter and more compact, without the hum and flicker of ordinary fluorescent lights." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

"CO m > CO O o CO o zo o TIP: USE FULL SPECTRUM LIGHT BULBS Place full spectrum light bulbs all over your house and if possible in your work area. Full spectrum light mimics sunlight and assists your body in the synthesis of serotonin. CO > HOMEOPATHY 6 This problem appears to vary in its severity. It is estimated that 2% of the population may experience a severe form of depression, fatigue, and disturbed sleep, while an additional 20% may suffer from a less severe manifestation of the condition. Both situations can benefit from homeopathic attention and support." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.)

"Although larger than ordinary light bulbs, CFLs are getting smaller and will fit in many light fixtures. Newer models contain electronic circuitry that make them lighter and more compact, without the hum and flicker of ordinary fluorescent lights. CFLs use one-quarter to one-third as much electricity as incandescent bulbs and last up to ten times longer. They're also recyclable. In fact, because they contain mercury, CFLs shouldn't be thrown out in the trash If widely used, their environmental benefits would be enormous." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "CFLs work best in light fixtures you tend to keep on for at least 15 minutes, and, of course, be sure to turn off standard light bulbs when lights aren't necessary. Your electricity bill will thank you! Insulation. Traditional types of insulation can be irritating to the skin, nose, throat, and lungs. Conventional fiberglass insulation might contain formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. Natural insulation products such as cotton, cellulose, and straw bales are filling a growing niche in the insulation market." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

"It had as its centerpiece the 375-foot Electric Tower, illuminated by 44,000 light bulbs powered by faraway generators at Niagara Falls. The tower was "indescribably brilliant" and held visitors "spellbound."7 The exposition's Electricity Building featured exhibits about the wonders of electricity. There was an electrograph, a machine that transmitted pictures by wire (forerunner of the fax machine), and a tel-autograph, a machine that enabled one to transmit one's signature over long distances (forerunner of credit card signature-verification devices)." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

All chain store or national supermarkets stock foods shipped in from distant suppliers. This means the fruit and vegetables are picked before they have ripened and matured to their full nutrient potential. Local farmers' markets, however, pick the food fresh and ripened and deliver it fresh every day or two." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Full-spectrum light bulbs are best. Considerations Q Narcolepsy and sleep apnea are the leading causes of tiredness during the day. Q A diagnosis of narcolepsy may involve a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT), usually conducted in a sleep disorders clinic. Q Irregular sleep patterns are just as likely to cause drowsiness as lack of sleep. Jet lag, shift work, inconsistent bedtimes, and weekend partying can all disturb our natural sleep/wake cycles. America is a nation of sleep-starved yawners fighting a daily battle against the sandman." - Phyllis A.

"Look around your home: follow the trail from the wires plugged into their sockets, count the toasters, televisions, microwave ovens, DVD players, light bulbs, and other electronic goods; add to that medical devices in hospitals and sophisticated electronic equipment in offices and factories; multiply by several hundred million, and you can do your own calculations as to the dimensions of that future mass of electrical detritus. Like a self-destroying Jean Tinguely machine, this bounty of obsolescence ends up in a big pile of collapsed circuitry." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"Also, Vermont won a major battle at the end of 2001 when a federal appeals court upheld a 1998 law that requires labeling on all consumer products in that state that contain mercury (including fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, and others)." - Russell L.

"The filaments of ordinary light bulbs, for instance, emit far more infra-red than visible light. But a hot object is impossible in a living system because it would toast its surroundings. A chemical infra-red source, a sort of stealth firefly light, is not inconceivable, but is quite difficult to implement because the efficiency of chemical light sources decreases sharply as wavelength increases and becomes almost nil at infra-red wavelengths.* Even were this possible, one would need several such inefficient lamps to cover the vibrational spectrum. Light sources are not the only problem." - Luca Turin, The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell (Get the book.)

"Journal Clinical Endocrinology Metabolism 90: 2755-61, 2005] Or if light is required in a room, yellow light bulbs (blue light filtering) can be used at night to enhance melatonin production. Physicists at John Carroll University have even launched a company to market blue light-filtering bulbs, goggles and night lights with the purpose of reducing cancer risk. The products can be obtained from Lighting Innovations LLC (www.LowBlueLights.com).

Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"Thick, acrid incense obscured the ceiling, creating halos around the light bulbs and opening the path for prayer (or, in my case, making it difficult to breathe). We sat on benches along the walls. I was careful not to lean too far back for fear of setting my hair on fire. At the far end of the crowded room, three older ak-jun quieted the singing. They began to implore the spirits to come join the feast and hear the prayers of the people. They called them by name. Jesus, Joseph, Mary, George, Hunab Ku and the Bacab (the creator and his sons), Yumil Kaxob (the maize god), and, of course, St." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.)

"Astronomers of the future will not, however, see distant quasars, as they cross the horizon, blinking out like light bulbs when someone switches them off. Indeed, these astronomers will never even see them reach the horizon. For as they approach the horizon, the light that they emit will become increasingly red-shifted and the objects themselves will seem to become frozen in time. In short, they will a^eaFto^go^outrnotwithr^rbang^but with a whimper." - Michael Lockwood, The Labyrinth of Time: Introducing the Universe (Get the book.)

"Most people are constantly irradiated by infrared from incandescent light bulbs, which peak at the infrared portion of the spectrum. In Australia and other areas of very high light intensity skin cancer is more common in office workers than those who work in sunlight. Ultraviolet deprivation may be responsible for the dramatic increase in cancer seen in certain parts of Africa. Albert Schweitzer noted that when he arrived in Africa the natives did not wear sunglasses and that he rarely saw cancer." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"Bright full-spectrum fluorescent lights (not ordinary light bulbs), are necessary. Even the average household or office lighting, which emits an intensity of 200-500 LUX, is not enough. The minimum dose necessary to be beneficial is 2500 LUX, although more is often required. The intensity of a bright summer day can be as much as 100,000 LUX! In the winter months, using a 10,000-LUX Full Spectrum Light Box for 30 minutes each morning is normally enough to help produce serotonin and reduce depression." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"Although only two naked light bulbs suspended from the ceiling illuminated the thirty- by forty-foot room, the place was absolutely on fire from the hundreds of black and purple candles that lined the walls. Hiderico told me that these were especially powerful, as they were made from the honeycombs of wild bees. The long table in the center of the room was adorned with a riot of bougainvilleas, orchids, and a host of perennials I could not recognize. Corn, tobacco, dried fish, breads, black pepper, and coffee beans lay as offerings." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.)

"Chromalux light bulbs suppress excess yellow rays (550 nm) for increased visual acuity, a colorful relaxing environ, and lessen depression and negative energy flow, improving vision from 400-700 to 800 nanometers (one billionth of a meter). In plants chloroplasts convert sunlight energy into electrical energy, as the light excites the electron flow of catalyst Chlorophyll forming Glucose and Oxygen, light into nutrients, chemical energy, absorbed as primary food by humans, and reconverted into electrical consciousness. The whole spectrum of light rays are necessary for complete photosynthesis." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book.)

"Colored Light: Colored light can be produced by using colored light bulbs, by filtering sunlight through colored glass or cellophane, or by wrapping colored cloth around a lamp (safely, so as to not create a fire hazard). Drinking water can be treated by exposing it to sunlight in colored-glass containers or in containers covered with colored cellophane; colored light bulbs can also be used to produce this effect. This water is beneficial for drinking, gargling in the case of throat infections, washing wounds, or bathing the eyes." - Walter Last, The Natural Way to Heal: 65 Ways to Create Superior Health (Get the book.)

"The use of candles initially shortened sleep time. Then light bulbs were developed, followed by radio, TV, computers, and so on. We are now down to an average of six and a half to seven hours of sleep a night, and this is simply not adequate to allow proper tissue repair. Some people get inadequate sleep because of poor sleep hygiene, often occurring because pain keeps them awake. Others have insomnia because the sleep center in the brain (called the hypothalamus) is suppressed by the same process that is causing the pain." - Jacob Teitelbaum, Pain Free 1-2-3: A Proven Program for Eliminating Chronic Pain Now (Get the book.)

"It produces red emissions in TV tubes and in low-energy light bulbs provides both red and blue emissions. Isolated from a form of samarium in 1901 by Eugene-Anatole Demarcay (France). Fermium (Fm) Discovered from analysis of the debris of the first thermonuclear explosion at Eniwetok, 1952, by Albert Ghiorso and others (U.S.), this highly radioactive actinide element does not occur naturally; it is named after the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Enrico Fermi.

"Something that may work just as well is simply replacing standard light bulbs with full-spectrum light bulbs—although this recommendation remains to be proven. St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) The St. John's wort extract, standardized to contain 0.3 percent hypericin (see Depression) at a dosage of 300 mg three times per day, has been shown to relieve SAD.6 However, although effective on its own, St. John's wort extract is more effective when used in combination with light therapy." - Michael T.
