This book may take off where Health and Light by John Ott began. Here is information we all need to know about the sun and how it effects our health from the full spectrum of our body. I found this article at Mercola.com See link to order on side panel. Please consider this as one of the most important articles and books you will read this year. S
The Healing Sun: Sunlight and Health in the 21st Century by Richard Hobday will provide you:
* Substantial historical evidence that the sun is far more beneficial than we are currently led to believe
* Contemporary evidence of how people may be compromising their health and happiness through sunlight deficiency
* Explanations of how sunlight can help prevent and heal many common (and often fatal) diseases like breast cancer, heart disease, multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis
* An important tool to help you bring the benefits of sunlight into your life safely
If you are interested in increasing your motivation to use an inexpensive resource to improve your health then you have hit a gold mine with "The Healing Sun: Sunlight and Health in the 21st Century" by Richard Hobday.
As most of you know by now I am especially fond of any natural therapies that are inexpensive and address the underlying causes of disease. Well, it is hard to get more basic than sunshine!
The human race evolved under the sun and for thousands of years lived in close harmony with its heat and light. A little more than 50 years ago doctors in Europe and North America were using sunlight to treat potentially fatal diseases on a routine basis, and a number of hospitals were built specifically for sunlight treatment.
Unfortunately, today there are very few physicians who have even the remotest understanding of the sun's broad therapeutic implications. Many of us have lost close contact with the sun and its healing powers because sunbathing is regarded to be a dangerous pastime that should be discouraged.
If you have been successfully brainwashed by conventional medical wisdom into fearing the sun then this book will help you see the light about the value of proper sun exposure.
An Essential Tool for Bringing the Benefits of the Sun into Your Life -- Safely!
Author, Dr. Richard Hobday, has created an important tool to help us bring the benefits of sunlight into our lives safely -- explaining how tanning moderately throughout the year is better than avoiding the sun altogether; how sudden bursts of strong solar radiation are unnatural and dangerous; how protection needs to be built up slowly; how early morning sunlight in cool temperatures is particularly beneficial to the body; how prolonged exposure to artificial light puts the body under great stress -- and much more!
Emphasizing how the sun was used to prevent and cure diseases in the past, and how it can heal us in the future, this book shows how sunlight can help:
* Lower Your Cholesterol
* Treat Multiple Sclerosis and Osteoporosis
* Prevent and Treat Cancer
* Lower Your Blood Pressure
* Kill Chronic Viral Infections In Your Blood
* Increase the Value of Exercise
* Increase Your Muscle Strength
* Improve Your Body's Ability to Detoxify
Dr. Hobday also explains how designing and building sunlit houses not only help prevent disease, but also make us feel happier and save energy.
History Proves Moderate Sunbathing is Beneficial to Your Health
"The Healing Sun" is a literal treasure house full of useful and very difficult to find information on the benefits of sunlight. Providing a substantial body of historical evidence that suggests moderate sunbathing is far more beneficial than we are currently led to believe, Hobday reveals:
* that over 100 years ago the Nobel Prize for medicine was awarded to a physician for his innovative use of sunshine
* how sunlight was used successfully to speed up the healing of wounds before the invention of antibiotics
* how prior to antibiotics solariums were frequently used as the only effective alternative to severe cases of TB that would otherwise be sent to surgery
Sunlight is every bit as central to our health and well-being as proper nutrition, clean water, and exercise. I have extensively studied vitamin D and written many pages about the benefits of this commonly deficient vitamin in my "Total Health Cookbook and Program" and here on this website. "The Healing Sun" is, without a doubt, the best book I've read this year and clearly one of the most important health books I've read in my life. from mercola.com
PS
I you are facing cataract surgery please consider asking the doctor for UV-B permeable lens as it will allow the healing rays of the sun and light to continue to "heal" the body.
This allows the body to stay in a full spectrum balance. Sue
