Sun is Healing - and has been worshiped as a Deity

I have been reading this really cool book "Heal Yourself with Sunlight" by Andreas Mortiz.

My personal experience & background on the Subject of Sunlight:

EXPERIENCE::
I battled my "Severely Depressed Immune System" for more than 3 months while living in Seattle, WA for my THIRD WINTER. (I previously had no trouble like this).

After hundreds and hundreds of Dollars spent on numerous different Doctors, I finally was seen by the Students of Bastyr College. They did panels on my Bloodwork to discover that my Vitamin D levels were ridiculously low. It should be noted that Every Single Seattle Dr I went to said the exact same thing: "All of my Seattle Patients have a Below-Average Vitamin D Level".

BACKGROUND:
I grew up in The Valley Of The Sun. I hated it, Im Pale as an English Rose and get scorched from the sun, not tan. My father had skin cancer (so has many of my relatives on his side) and my mother was OverProtective in all areas, which included Always Slathering my brother & I in Tons of Sunscreen! SO, I was ALWAYS paranoid/VeryCareful. I applied expensive $60 "wont-clog-your-pores" sunscreen to my face/neck Every Single Day! Unfortunately for me, I also did that throughout my 3 years in Seattle, Washington.

7 months out of the year, Seattle doesn't even receive the normal RAYS which reach us human on earth after its filtered through the atmosphere.

IN CONCLUSION:::
I now LOVINGLY Sunbathe!!! With A Smile on My Face, and NO Worry in my heart/head.
After I stopped Using Sunscreens on a DAILY Basis, my Skin is now less sensitive to the sun, so it burns Less and finally can tan!!!!!

NOW FOR INFO ON THE HEALING ASPECT OF THE SUN & "Heliopathy"

"Dr. Auguste Rollier, Medical doctor and Author was the most famous heliotherapist of his day. At his peack he operated 36 clinics with over 1,000 beds in Leysin, Switzerland. His clinics were situated 5,000 feet above sea level. The intensity of ultraviolet light increases by 4 percent for every 1,000 feet of elevation above sea level." "He followed in the footsteps of the Danish physician Dr. Neils Finsen, who won the Nobel Prize in 1903 for his treatment of TB using ultraviolet light. In a san of 20 years, more than 2,000 cases of surgical (bone and joint) tuberculosis were treated, and more than 80% were discharged as cured at Dr. Rollier's clinics. Rollier found that sunbathing early in the morning, in conjunction with a nutritious diet, produced the best effects". Quoted from the aforementioned book "Heal Yourself with Sunlight"

The Doc recommended to stay out only during the Morning hours if in SUMMER, but during WINTER you can be outside ALL DAY LONG : )
