The Healing Sun
Got the winter blues?You'd be surprised how many people have. This is the time of year when they start to kick in. It could be because you don't get enough sunshine in the summer, or indeed the winter. We have been taught to fear the sun but sunlight is a vital nutrient and if you don't get enough of it you will get defficiency diseases, just as you would if we were talking about vitamin C.
"I think you might dispense with half your doctors if you would only consult Dr. Sun more". Henry Ward Beecher
The Healing Sun - Sunlight and Health in the 21st Centuryby Richard Hobday is a gem that everyone should read.
"The human race evolved under the sun, and for thousands of years lived in harmony with its heat and light. Yet over the last fifty years, we have lost this close contact with the sun and its healing power. We have become afraid of it. Yet the sun is vital for our well being and health."
Hobday shows:
Sunlight can prevent and heal many common and often fatal diseases like breast, colon, prostate and other cancers, heart disease, multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis. Prolonged exposure to artificial light puts the body under great stress. Moderate sunbathing is far more beneficial than we are currently led to believe.
There's much more. I recommend sunbathing to my patients and after reading this book you'll be telling those you care about the same,;and get yourself and your family out in the sun too.
