The missing link in fighting cancer

[Guest guest]

I'm sure you all know how great vitamin D is, well, there's a

corollary. It's light. Sunlight. The science on this is awesome. Dr.

Ott, he of the Walt Disney studios time-lapse photography, is a

pioneer in the science of light and health. He coined the term

" malillumination " because we know what malnutrition is, and he believes

that lack of the proper light causes all kinds of health problems.

We're talking indoor as well as outdoor light. I've researched this

subject extensively for the other group I belong to, cll

alternative therapies. So what I'm writing here is just the tip of the

iceberg as far as what I know, so I'm giving you the condensed version.

First of all, I began sunbathing in June at high noon with no

sunscreen (yes, I know about skin cancer, and have lots of research

about that, and how phony the research is that we need sunscreen). Skin

cancer's caused by way too much sun and sunburns, that's not what I'm

talking about. I did limit it at first to 15 minutes one side only, by

kitchen timer. I gradually increased my exposure, sunbathing only 3-4

times a week, and am currently at 25 min. back, 25 min. front. You

have to know your own skin type to do this: I tan, don't burn. I

started feeling better quickly, my blood pressure went way down. Then,

I had bloodwork and had them run a serum vitamin D test (I hadn't taken

any D supplements during this time). My serum vitamin D shot up greatly

with the 3-4 times a week nude sunbathing. The vitamin D, 25-OH, D3 WAS

27, back in April, and is now 43. I'm very happy about that. I also

started losing weight, as sunlight ramps up metabolism. Here's some

info on how sunlight kills cancer cells.

Now, about indoor lighting. There is a great book called " Light:

Medicine of the Future, " by Liberman, O.D., Ph.D.. One great

thing are the appendices. There's a list of docs in every state who

practice syntonic optometry (use of colors, etc.), and there's a page on

full spectrum light sources. What I gleaned, finally, is what to look

for when ordering the indoor lights. It's something called the

color-rendering index (CRI). To really be full-spectrum, lights should

have a CRI of anything over 90. The sun is 100. A standard cool-white

fluorescent light has a CRI of only 68. Bulbs should also have a

" correlated color temperature " between 5,000-7,000 Kelvin. I found a

great source, thanks to an internet friend, here's that info:

I bought a lamp for my bedroom, and I love the whitish-bluish outdoor

light (no UV).

I also know that there is new research that blue light kills tumors,

and there is some blue light coming from the sun. I've already asked my

dentist if he would shine some of his blue light that they use to harden

fillings on my neck (I have enlarged lymph nodes due to cll). I didn't

get a yes or a no. I gave him the articles. I'll ask him again the

next time I see him. Here's that research:

This are nothing but benefits to proper use of lighting, both indoor and

outdoor.
