 Being exposed to natural sunlight results in the creation of vitamin D in your body, and vitamin D is extremely important in protecting you against bone loss, osteoporosis, schizophrenia, cancer (especially of the prostate and breast), and many other chronic diseases. In fact, the vast majority of people living in modern societies worldwide don't get enough natural sunlight on their skin. They thus suffer from chronic vitamin D deficiencies and have much higher risk of these diseases than would normally be expected.
What they need is sunlight. |

| REPPED: Researchers in Australia have discovered that exposure to natural sunlight reduces the incidence of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). The researchers were trying to find out if exposure to the sun really does cause this type of cancer; instead, they found that it actually protects people from the disease.
Why is this the case? |
| This teaches people to fear the sun, claiming that natural sunlight is going to kill them through skin cancer. As a result of that misguided advice, people avoid the sun and put on sunscreen practically every time they venture outside. Not surprisingly, they do not get enough ultraviolet radiation, or the vitamin D they need to prevent Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as many other chronic diseases. That's one of the many reasons why we're seeing these skyrocketing rates of chronic diseases like schizophrenia, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. |
| In fact, the vast majority of people living in modern societies worldwide don't get enough natural sunlight on their skin. They thus suffer from chronic vitamin D deficiencies and have much higher risk of these diseases than would normally be expected.
What they need is sunlight. Sunlight really is the prevention, and in many cases even the cure, for these diseases, especially if they are still in their early stages. And yet, conventional medicine advises most people to avoid the sun. |

| And even though this might not sound like nutrition, it's actually critical for human health: natural sunlight. Sunlight provides what I and others call "vibrational" nutrition. If you think of the colors of the rainbow as different nutrients or vitamins, then natural sunlight combines all of those colors into one multi-colored white light and projects that healing white light all the way through space to arrive on planet earth, where it can touch your skin and have a powerful healing effect.
Natural sunlight is, I believe, absolutely essential for optimum human health. |

 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. "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. |

 What you can do:
Sensible exposure to natural sunlight is the simplest, easiest and yet one of the most important strategies for improving your health. I urge you to read the book, "The UV Advantage" by Dr. Michael Holick to get the full story on natural sunlight. You can find this book at most local bookstores or through BN.com, Amazon.com, etc. Note: This is not a paid endorsement or an affiliate link. I recommend it because of its great importance in preventing chronic disease and enhancing health without drugs or surgery. This may be the single most important book on health you ever read. |

 The healing power of natural sunlight
I'm also excited about sunshine, and the increasing realization of just how important natural sunlight is to your health. The more I learn about sunshine, the more fascinating it becomes. Sunlight is an essential nutrient for optimal human health. It's something that every person needs, and yet as I am increasingly observing, very few people get sufficient sunlight. Part of that is because most of us work indoors, and so we sit under artificial light rather than getting the natural light nature intended our bodies to have. |

 This will prevent natural sunlight from touching your skin. Now, how will this give you cancer? It turns out that natural sunlight is powerful prevention for cancer. People who get plenty of natural sunlight have a greatly reduced risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer, breast cancer and many other disorders that aren't cancer-related such as osteoporosis and mental depression. |

 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 because I say eat more organically grown fruits and vegetables. I've been called a promoter of quackery by saying reduce stress, exercise, cleanse your colon, drink pure water without fluoride and chlorine ... |

| Vitamin D is produced by your skin in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from natural sunlight.
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. |

 They include things like eating more broccoli and garlic, getting more natural sunlight on your skin (to generate the anti-cancer nutrient Vitamin D, which has recently been shown to prevent an astonishing 77 percent of ALL cancers!) and avoiding cancer-causing chemicals in manufactured foods (such as sodium nitrite, found in bacon, sausage and virtually all packaged meats). A more detailed list is offered below.

 But since it's a nutrient that cannot be patented, and can actually be manufactured for free by exposing your skin to natural sunlight, the entire U.S. cancer industry now laughingly pretends that vitamin D supplementation offers no benefits.
Each day that the American Cancer Society, the AMA, the FDA and others in conventional medicine refuse to acknowledge the benefits of vitamin D supplements for preventing cancer, they lose yet more credibility and slip one step closer towards global humiliation and irrelevance. |

 But the flip side is that we also really need UV rays. natural sunlight creates active vitamin D, which we need for bone health, since it helps regulate calcium. It also helps ensure the proper function of the heart, nervous system, clotting
Figure K.2 Burnt Roast Radiation from the sun that passes through the ozone stimulates our eyes (visible rays) and our skin (UY rays).

 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. |

| Meanwhile, free cures for cancer are available right now in the form of natural sunlight. Nearly-free prevention methods are well documented and include nutritional supplementation with vitamin D. We know how to prevent cancer, it's just that the corrupt politicians and dirty non-profits in charge of this country won't allow the disease to be prevented at all. There's too much money to be made in treating cancer, and there's no incentive whatsoever to teach the public how to prevent cancer and avoid becoming cancer patients. |

 This research on vitamin D is a huge threat to the cancer industry profit mongers because it reveals a way to prevent cancer for free -- by seeking natural sunlight exposure and letting your skin manufacture your own powerful anti-cancer medicine (vitamin D). The idea that the cancer industry could lose 80% of its patients due to widespread education about vitamin D and sunlight scares the living daylights out of the cancer industry. |

 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. |

Here's what you do:
1) Get natural sunlight on your skin as often as you can. The darker your skin, the more sunlight you need. Read our free report on sunlight and vitamin D for more detailed tips.
2) Never, ever submit to chemotherapy or radiation. These procedures cause severe harm and can ultimately kill you. Seek naturopathic cancer therapies only. Don't submit to mammograms, either, since they actually cause cancer! |

 Cod liver oil is probably the best source of vitamin D, which is why I consider cod liver oil to be a superfood crucial for those people living in Northern climates who don't have access to natural sunlight.
Tanning beds are actually medical devices
Another alternative for those living in Northern climates or cloudy climates such as Seattle or Northern Oregon would be tanning beds. Tanning beds induce your skin to produce vitamin D. Obviously, it's not the same as natural sunlight, because it's a limited spectrum of light, but it is a way to produce vitamin D. |

 The litmus test for doctors
For me, the power of natural sunlight to enhance human health and prevent progressive, degenerative, chronic disease is so astounding that it has become a litmus test for any doctor or person involved in health care. I ask people in the medical field for their opinion on natural sunlight, and if they respond by saying it causes cancer and that people should wear sunscreen all the time, then I know they are ignorant and live in the past when it comes to medicine. |

 Many diseases automatically appear as a result of a deficiency in one or more nutrients, and osteoporosis, prostate cancer and breast cancer are all precipitated by a lack of vibrational nutrition, or natural sunlight. Even vitamin D is not the entire answer to this. Without a doubt there are influences of natural sunlight that go beyond the creation of vitamin D, and thus a discussion of vitamin D alone cannot account for the nutritional deficiency present in these diseases, nor the ability to treat and reverse those diseases through the consumption of nutritional supplements. |

 Lack of sufficient exposure to natural sunlight further aggravates these conditions.
Infection of bones, or osteomyelitis, may result when there has been a prolonged lymphatic obstruction in the body, especially in or around bone tissues. Consequently, blood-borne microbes gain unhindered access to bones. As mentioned before, infectious microbes only attack tissues that are acidified, weak, unstable, or damaged. The microbes may originate from gallstones, a tooth abscess, or a boil. |

| New research shows us that using low-cost calcium and vitamin D supplements (or just natural sunlight), we could slash cancer rates by an astonishing 77 percent. The cancer industry opposes this and is firmly positioned as an opponent of cancer prevention. The industry depends on cancer to grow its own power and profits, and it will invest in the de-education of the public in order to maximize its own revenues.
Cures for cancer exist all around us: Sunlight, rainforest herbs, anti-cancer foods and superfoods, etc. |

 Stop all unnecessary "energy leaks" and allow your body to get enough rest
• Clear up the blocked bile ducts of the liver
• Remove kidney stones/grease
• Clean the passages of the gastrointestinal tract
• Take in enough fresh air, clean water, natural sunlight and nutrient-rich food
• Move your body regularly
All of these are necessary to sustain bodily functions, including the elimination of daily-generated metabolic and cellular waste products. |

| It means that if you take high-quality calcium supplements and get lots of natural sunlight exposure or take premium vitamin D supplements (such as those made from fish oil), you could easily have a greater reduction than the 77 percent reduction recorded in this study.

 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. |
