V Get natural sunlight through the eyes: it too is a nutrient. V Get regular exercise: stretching, aerobics and weight training. But if the health seeker is severely enervated, strict bed rest and extra hours for sleep are absolutely essential until he or she is revitalized before an exercise regime should be undertaken. S Use the antigravity BodySlant with regularity. This is a passive form of exercise for the lymphatic system." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"The use of natural sunlight and various forms of light therapy has been effective in reestablishing the body's natural rhythm. Natural sunlight contains the full wavelength spectrum needed for maintaining health. It triggers the impulses that regulate most bodily functions. Artificial lighting— incandescent and fluorescent—lacks the complete balanced spectrum found in sunlight. Without certain wavelengths, the body cannot absorb some nutrients." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

Natural sunlight is, I believe, absolutely essential for optimum human health." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"To enjoy the benefits of natural sunlight indoors, install full-spectrum lightbulbs in your home and office. Full-spectrum lightbulbs provide a balanced blend of all colors in the visible spectrum, closely resembling natural sunlight, whereas conventional incandescent lightbulbs illuminate more intensely in the yellow part of the color spectrum. Lee Hartley, Ed.D., a researcher on light therapy, suggests mounting a row of four to six full-spectrum bulbs in a vanity fixture over your bathroom sink.

"Report after report after report is now coming in, stating the truth about the benefits of getting natural sunlight. This is a natural cure they don't want you to know about. It's amazing that I am called a person who promotes quackery when I make statements such as natural sunlight is beneficial to your health.

I've been called a promoter of quackery by saying reduce stress, exercise, cleanse your colon, drink pure water without fluoride and chlorine ..." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Depriving yourself of natural sunlight has known health consequences, from chaotic circadian rhythms to depression. Circadian rhythms are the patterns of repeated activity associated with cycles of day and night. Our internal rhythms repeat roughly every twenty-four hours, and involve the sleep-wake cycle, the ebb and flow of hormones, the rise and fall of body temperature, and other subtle rhythms that mesh with the twenty-four-hour solar day." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"UVA makes up most of the natural sunlight. UVB causes sunburns and is thought to be the main cause of skin cancer. UVC is mostly filtered out by the atmosphere of the earth and is of little concern to humans. Originally thought to be the main cause of skin cancer, UVB rays have been the focus of prevention efforts. However, new research points to UVA as a cancer-causing light as well. The damage caused by ultraviolet light may happen years before a cancer develops. As such, avoiding too much sunlight is highly recommended. Who is most at risk?" - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Get outdoors during the daylight. natural sunlight exposure stimulates your pineal gland which controls your sleep and waking cycles, seasonal affective disorder (the winter blues) and improves your mood. • Seek the support of a trusted friend, counsellor or your church. • Take 5HTP or 5-hydroxytryptophan. This is a precursor to serotonin and helps mood and carbohydrate cravings. This is not suitable for those taking antidepressants. • B complex helps with stress, mood and the nervous system. Typical dosage is 50 mgs per day. You can increase B6 by 100 mgs per day." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"It tends to show up most in people who work indoors for extended periods, especially in air-conditioned rooms, or those who are not exposed to enough natural sunlight and fresh air. In terms of microbes, it correlates bioenergetically to many bacteria strains, including Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Legionella, so it is implicated in ulcers of the ears, nose, skin, tonsils, and bladder, and in dental root canal infections, gastrointestinal catarrh, and other associated conditions." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"If you would like to rid your skin of that yellow undertone, simply spend thirty minutes a day exposing your skin to natural sunlight and you will develop a healthy, even glow! Although everybody has different skin, there are three main classifications of skin types and most people have either one or a combination of these: normal; dry/sensitive; oily. Many people, particularly teenagers, have combination skin. The forehead, nose, and chin form an oily "T" area, while the rest of the face is dry." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"Full-spectrum lightbulbs are the most common (and affordable) tool we have to mimic the benefits of natural sunlight. But some ingenious designers have taken a more direct approach, letting sunlight flow right into furniture and dark rooms through fiber-optic cables. Sunlight-transport System The Swedish company Parans developed a system that collects sunlight in outdoor panels, transmits it through fiber-optic cables, and reemits it indoors through a well-designed overhead fixture. A combination of different types of beams gives the impression of natural light filtered by trees." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Get more natural sunlight. By exposing your skin to natural sunlight, without sunscreens (in moderation, of course), your body will naturally produce vast stores of Vitamin D, which is critical for the construction and maintenance of healthy bones. Without adequate Vitamin D, your body cannot efficiently use the extra calcium you're taking. Also, by the way, the darker your skin, the more sunlight you need to generate Vitamin D. This is one reason why most American males of African descent are highly deficient in Vitamin D and suffer from skyrocketing rates of prostate cancer." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)

"RECAP • You need twenty to thirty minutes of exercise daily—start with a few minutes a day and build up as you feel comfortable • Make sure you are always able to talk while you exercise, but at the same time make sure you sweat or perspire after twenty minutes of exercise • Ventilate your home daily, even in cold weather • You need twenty to thirty minutes a day of natural sunlight, and to save time you can get this together with fresh air by exercising outdoors daily. That way you kill three birds with one stone! FOR YEARS I had terribly dry skin." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"But most people don't know that the sun is just as important on an individual, biochemical level—and the relationship is just as two-sided. natural sunlight simultaneously helps your body to create vitamin D and destroys your body's reserves of folic acid—both of which are essential to your health. To manage this can't-live-with-you-can't-live-without-you relationship, different populations have evolved a combination of adaptations that, together, help to protect folic acid and ensure sufficient vitamin D production." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"You need a minimum of twenty to thirty minutes a day of regular exercise (see chapter ten), preferably outdoors as natural sunlight on the skin converts cholesterol (lowering cholesterol) into vitamin D, which is essential for the body to be able to use calcium efficiently. To get the cholesterol from the liver where it is processed to the cells where it is needed for this and many other processes, you need to make sure you are taking in natural unsaturated fats. (See chapters eight and ten.) I have found flaxseed oil to be one of the most beneficial unsaturated fats in this instance." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.) "She had to sit in natural sunlight, exposing as much of her skin as she could for at least twenty minutes a day. Within a month her iron levels were up dramatically, and the overall improvement of her health was significant, as was the quality of her skin and muscle tone." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"Make sure your home and workplace are well lit, either by natural sunlight or overhead lighting. Light suppresses the production of melatonin, which is the hormone that produces drowsiness. 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." - Phyllis A.

"Lutein, present in the macula of the eye's retina, appears to filter harmful, high-energy blue wavelengths of visible light from both natural sunlight and indoor light. Dr. Michael Geiger, a New York optometrist and author of Eye Care Naturally, says that lutein and zeaxanthin have been found to be among the most effective supplements for eye health. That's true—but according to an article in the August 2004 Journal of Nutrition, lutein bioavailability is even higher from eggs than it is from supplements." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"In fact, many of the diseases we are seeing today, such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, obesity, schizophrenia, and chronic depression are in fact aggravated if not outright caused by a deficiency in natural sunlight. Not surprisingly, this view is not well accepted yet in conventional medicine. In fact, there's one doctor who wrote a book extolling the benefits of ultraviolet radiation (and backed it up with an enormous battery of evidence), who was ostracized by the medical community, fired from his job, and ridiculed by old school doctors and even some medical journalists." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"One such device that I highly recommend is called the Litebook, which uses special LED lights that peak at the same wavelength of natural sunlight in order to give you exposure to these light frequencies from a handheld device. See the Google Video about LiteBook at http://video.google.com (search for "Litebook"). These can help treat or prevent depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder, and they may even prove to have a preventive effect against behavioral disorders such as the fictional Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder that I talk about elsewhere." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "Your risk of developing serious diseases like diabetes and cancer is reduced 50 to 80 percent through simple, sensible exposure to natural sunlight two to three times each week. Infants who receive vitamin D supplementation (2000 units daily) have an 80 percent reduced risk of developing type 1 diabetes over the next twenty years. Shocking Vitamin D deficiency statistics: *" 32 percent of doctors and med school students are vitamin D deficient. ** 40 percent of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient. 42 percent of African American women of childbearing age are deficient in vitamin D." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "That's a shame, because the treatments and cures for virtually all chronic diseases are actually quite simple and can be described in plain language, such as making different food choices, getting more natural sunlight, drinking more water, engaging in regular physical exercise, avoiding specific food toxins, supplementing your diet with selected nutritional supplements, and so on. Giving Legs to Restless Legs: A Case Study of How the Media Helps Make People Sick Public Library of Science Medicine Journal, April 11, 2006 Steven Woloshin and Lisa M." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "The healing rays of natural sunlight (that generate vitamin D in your skin) cannot penetrate glass. So you don't generate vitamin D when sitting in your car or home. It is nearly impossible to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from your diet. Sunlight exposure is the only reliable way to generate vitamin D in your own body. A person would have to drink ten tall glasses of vitamin D fortified milk each day just to get minimum levels of vitamin D into their diet. The further you live from the equator, the longer exposure you need to the sun in order to generate vitamin D." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"This is an excellent method for maximum impact," she says, "because the body receives the same effect as natural sunlight in the morning. You wake up quicker and with less morning shock." Additionally, you may consider using a light box; these specially designed devices use full-spectrum fluorescent lights to simulate early-morning sunlight. Light boxes typically cost $100 to $450 and are widely available in various sizes and styles, from wall units to desk lamps to visors. They usually come in values of 5,000 to 10,000 lux." - Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac., Alternative Medicine Magazine's Definitive Guide to Sleep Disorders: 7 Smart Ways to Help You Get a Good Night's Rest (Get the book.)
