Re: Using Sunlight to Sustain Life

[Guest guest]

I have often noticed that I sleep better after spending the day outside. I

also have noticed that when I am stressed out that if I lay out in the sun I

become relaxed and calm. I am so glad to read this article and find out

why. Thank you Bill.

I try to get out in the sun for a few minutes everyday. I get lunch an sit

in the park in the sun and eat. I know I feel happier when I do that. I

work in an office cubicle with no natural light. Ugh. If I don't get

outside I feel horrible...

.......but the thing about sunblock bothers me. Where is the research about

this, and what are products for sun protection that will not cause problems?

I love the beach and the sun and don't want to wrinkle...and don't want to

get cancer from sunscreen. Help! Any advice on this please.....

I discovered, over 20 years ago, that I don't sunburn if I take large doses of

vitamin E.

I had a disasterous family vacation on Cape Cod the year before, getting a bad

burn on both legs.

I picked up this tip from Prevention Magazine back when it was useful (the old

man J R Rodale was editor).

The following year I took 400 IU every couple of hours. NO BURN!

Since then, I've worked up to 1000 IU daily, as my maintenance dose for general

health.

I seldom see this listed as a benefit for E, but it worked for me.

Actually, beta carotene is supposed to help prevent sunburn as well. It is

recommended that if you are going to spend some time in the sun, to drink

several large glasses of carrot juice, freshly extracted. I can't remember

the sources, but I read about a study that was done in Arizona that showed

the inmates at a prison who had been given large amounts of carrots before

spending time in the sun didn't get sunburned while those who ate no carrots

did.

I'm sure I can find the source if someone needs it real bad.

El Sol,

How appropriate your handle is!

The products for sun protection are a no-brainer -- NONE! We were

designed to walk in the Sun! But, you have to build up to Sun exposure

over 2-3 weeks. Start at 15-20 mintes and increase daily as seems

appropriate. If you feel even a slight sunburn feeling, that was too

much. Back off. You know how to do it intuitively if you don't convince

yourself you can't!

Thanks, Chuck! Putting things together from my past, that makes sense to

me!

PS: finally, I see your tag lines recycling. Thank God! There isn't a

magical wellspring of eternally funny tag lines!

The old formula for suntan oil, coconut oil

with iodine, might turn out to be a safe sunscreen, since the brown

iodine absorbs light, as other " U.V. blockers " do, but iodine is

also an effective chain breaker that inactivates free radicals, and

it can't be absorbed into cells in its brown form. It doesn't have

the potential for causing cancer that the popular sunscreens do.

" One new product, called Ocean Secret (Applied Genetics, Inc, Freeport,

New York), claims not only to block ultraviolet radiation, but also to

repair sun damage to the DNA in skin cells, according to product

literature. Enzymes extracted from marine plankton, which are

continuously bombarded by ultraviolet radiation, are encapsulated into

liposomes in Ocean Secret. In skin that was exposed to ultraviolet

radiation and then treated with the enzymes contained in Ocean Secret,

one marker of DNA damage was reduced by 50% (15). Ocean Secret is

sold through dermatologists or can be ordered at (800) 590-4244. "

" An old folk remedy may someday also have new life as a sunscreen.

Aloe in a highly concentrated, pure form prevents immune suppression

by ultraviolet radiation in mice (16). If it protects humans, too,

aloe may end up in sunscreens, says researcher Faith Strickland, PhD,

assistant professor of immunology at MD Cancer Center in

Houston. Aloe is currently found in some sunscreens, but Strickland

says it's too diluted to be protective, and the agents in aloe that

prevent ultraviolet-induced immunosuppression are destroyed by most

processing methods. "

I've heard for years that fatty acids in the summertime will also help

prevent sunburns. Vitamin D is antagonistic to fattty acids (vitamin F) and

if you take fatty acids, it'll help you prevent burns.
