"In three sessions per week of full-body UVB light treatments, vitamin D levels rose 162% after six weeks and blood pressures dropped six points on both systolic (higher number) and diastolic (lower number) measurements, and in a study that compared vitamin D levels with the hypertension risk, it was shown that men who had the lowest D levels also had 6.13 times the risk of developing hypertension. In women, the lowest levels related to a 2.67 times increased risk.52 The following graph illustrates the remarkable difference in hypertension risk based on serum vitamin D levels." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"In these cases, laser treatments and light treatments, such as intense pulsed light (IPL), can help eliminate the enlarged blood vessels and redness. Caution: These treatments should be performed by a highly skilled dermatologist. If not done properly, they can lead to complications.

"The group taking the ultraviolet light treatments showed a greater interest in their class work and attended more regularly. They generally felt they had received a great deal of help from the light treatments (25). It has been shown in other studies that a continuous, low-intensity ultraviolet exposure of school children, applied by means of a special ultraviolet illumination system, markedly in- creased physical fitness scores among the children. This effect was most apparent during the winter and spring months." - Zane R. Kime, Sunlight (Get the book.) "Blood sugar dropped after light treatments, but the degree of drop was dependent upon the strength of light and the length of the exposure. The best results were obtained when both the visible and the invisible portions of light (ultraviolet) were combined at a ratio of one part ultraviolet to nine parts visible light. In other words, it was found that light sources very similar to the natural sunlight were the very best for carbohydrate metabolism (25). When diabetics were exposed to sunlight treatments, their blood sugar dropped and the sugar in the urine decreased or disappeared entirely." - Zane R. Kime, Sunlight (Get the book.) "The pancreas, stomach, liver, kidneys, and adrenal glands are apparently benefitted by light treatments. The effect is seemingly due to the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system (20). Sunlight can alter the flow of hydrochloric acid, which may be the reason stomach and duodenal ulcers respond so favorably to light therapy. The adrenal glands contain more adrenalin following sunlight treatments, and this may account for one's increased ability to withstand stress after such treatments (20).
