and Inger: Aversion to Light

[Guest guest]

I'd suggest you read this publichsed article for an explanation

IS INCANDESCENT LIGHT HEALTHIER? - By Inger Lorelei.

except that you'd have to order the magazine to get it:

NEXUS NEW TIMES MAGAZINE CONTENTS - Volume 10, Number 3

April - May 2003 (which is May-June 2003 for the USA & Canada

edition)

http://www.nexusmagazine.com/backissues/1003.conts.html

Fortunately, the author is also our co-administrator. Ask her, and I

believe she will explain the thing about flourescents.

Tom

> Tom,

I get intense headaches when the light is too bright. I prefer

cloudy/foggy days because the light is just right for me then. I've

never tried showering in the dark but do enjoy candlelight - I'm not

sure why but I don't get headaches from candlelight like I do from

lightbulbs (especially flourescents ugggh!).
