  1. Hello,

    We have understandings that we get Vit.D and Sunburns by exposing us to
    sunlight. We also get visuality and solar energy from it. Some harming
    germs may be killed by it. We also get botanical materials growns under
    its influence. It is mostly composed of seven wavelengths with some IR
    and UV rays. Sun, spritually, is/was also consdered as "god of health
    giver".

    We have natural and unnatural, continious and prolonged(since our
    evolution) exposure to many substances with and without physical
    ingestion of them. All objects, on exposure to sunlight, reflect
    wavelengths relavent to their colors, absorb and emit others. We are
    getting preception and sensations to those reflected or emitted
    wavelengths.

    I have few questions:-

    1. How reflections and emittions from any substance on their exposure
    to sunlight can effect us physiologically and psychlogically?

    2. Can sensations (taste, thinking, looking, hearing,felling,smelling)
    of any food to be taken effects us apart from its ingestion
    effect--pre-stomach in view of reflections and emittions from those
    foods substance on their exposure to sunlight ? One theory, we have
    about "cephalic phase effect".

    3. Can such sensations will be a weak effect or weak sumuli and
    specific effects to specific part of body WHERAS effects post-stomach
    by absorptions may be systematic effect?

    4. How as such, following (others pls tell) laws can be related to weak
    stumuli pre-stomach by just sensations other that "ingestion effect"
    post stomach?

    "Allen's paradoxic l. whereas in normal individuals the more sugar is
    given the more is utilized, the reverse is true in diabetics.

    Arndt's l. , Arndt-Schulz l. weak stimuli increase physiologic
    activity, moderate stimuli inhibit activity, and very strong stimuli
    abolish activity. See also hormesis

    hormesis (hor·me·sis) (hor-me´sis) [Gr. hormçsis rapid motion] the
    stimulating or beneficial effect of small doses of a toxic substance
    that at higher doses has an inhibitory or adverse effect. "

    Well, this started out as a good question.

    So, I will comment on what interests me even if it might NOT answer
    your question directly.

    Research on the benefits of light regarding what exactly is producing
    the benefit has been mixed.

    The benefits could be coming from vitamin D, all light in general, or
    specific wavelengths of light.

    Why fluorescent lights are not effective is likewise undecided. It
    could be due to the fact that fluorescent lights flicker.

    The harmful effects of sunlight on both your eyes and skin is caused by
    the blue spectrum, which loosely also includes ultraviolet light rays.
    Skin sunscreen lotions block the absorption of UV-B which causes
    sunburns. The UV-A light rays, which generally are not blocked, causes
    your skin to age and wrinkle.

    Scientific research in areas like this can be compared to a monkey
    producing a copy of Moby [censored] by typing on a typewriter. That is
    precisely how this type of research is conducted in America.
    Researchers are idiots who know nothing about the subject area they are
    testing. They are bascially testing things at random, just like a
    monkey typing on a typewriter. Often researchers are hostile to the
    entire subject area being tested. And, it really shows in the results
    of these idiotic research studies. Is it any wonder that science by
    itself will never benefit anyone.

    The research industry is anything but rational and / or efficient.

  3. Mr Natural-Health,

    Thanks for posting. We can respect, process and add o whatever is
    abailable to us. Need/entitlements of the time may be ; not to make
    everyone understood all clearly, perfectly or absolutely.(spritually it
    is somewhat indicated in one mythology).

    I am more interesed on;

    1. How reflections and emittions from any substance on their exposure
    to sunlight can effect us physiologically and psychlogically?

    2.. Can such sensations will be a weak effect or weak sumuli and
    specific effects to specific part of body WHERAS effects post-stomach
    by absorptions may be systematic effect?

    4. How as such, following (others pls tell) laws can be related to weak

    stumuli pre-stomach by just sensations other that "ingestion effect"
    post stomach?

  4. During day time we get bright sunlight, so we get reflections and
    emittions from our surroundings and exposures. Moreover, O2 levels
    should be bit higher during day considering plants release O2 during
    day.

    During night, we don't get bright sunlight but get some artificial
    light. So not be getting much reflections and emittions from our
    surroundings/exposures. Moreover, CO2 levels should be bit higher
    during night time considering plants release CO2 during night.

    How these can effect our physiology/psychology?

    INSIGHTS INTO THE BODY'S DAILY CLOCK MAY HELP OVERCOME JET-LAG, WORK
    FATIGUE.

    http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0ISW/is_2003_July/ai_104259134
    Hypothyroidism, temperature regulation, and ethnoscience - Medical
    Anthropology
    "The importance of sunlight for thyroid function may be related in part to
    the increase in vitamin D which it causes, which is only found in animal
    foods. It has long been known that consumption of vegetables in the Brassica
    family can inhibit thyroid function.

    An outdoor lifestyle seems protective against hypothyroidism as described in
    the above anthropological studies of various indigenous populations. One
    reason may be exposure to sunlight. Morning light advances physical
    activity, hormone secretion, urine output, body temperature, and stimulates
    the thyroid to burn body fat, while evening light makes the same events
    occur later. Farm animals living outdoors don't fatten as easily as those
    living indoors. UV stimulates the thyroid to increase metabolism, which
    burns calories (Lamberg: 1994). In the 1930s Swiss sun therapists found
    clients had little fat even without exercising for months and
    well-functioning thyroid glands. (Kime and Lohmeier: 1986). Two hours of
    bright light in the morning reduces nocturnal restlessness in patients with
    Alzheimers as well as SAD, an affective disorder related to depression, by
    increasing serotonin levels. In industrial societies children experience
    growth spurts during the spring as their metabolism speeds up and thyroid
    hormone s peak."

    http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/winterizing.htm
    6. Get some sunlight every day.

    There's evidence that exposure to sunlight affects hormones that have an
    impact on both brain chemistry and the endocrine system. Even if you don't
    suffer from a full-out case of "seasonal affective disorder", 20 to 30
    minutes a day of outdoor light exposure can help ward off fatigue and
    depression. My doctor's own tip...if you don't want to be outside for
    prolonged periods when it's cold, go run errands in your car, but keep the
    window open, so you are exposed to the natural sunlight. (Keep in mind,
    wearing sunglasses will reduce the benefit of the sunlight.)

    Somewhere else where you may find answers to questions you ask.

  8. Sharon Hope,
    Many thanks for informative details. I shall go through these deeply
    bit later, However few questions are:-

    1.Can effects by consumption of vegetables in the Brassica family be
    related to their sulphur contents(somewhat gives burning sensation)?

    2.How efects as indicated by you and in links can be related to effects
    by reflections and emissions on exposure to sunlight?

    3.Can some effects be related to" Weak stumuli promote/enhance
    physiological activities" as I asked? Looking at a dot/point is more
    stressful/promote more activities than looking at bigger normal figure?

    Best wishes.

    searches on Google, then refine the search criteria and try Pub Med.

    Mostly I walk around naked and then after that sit in shade.
    Wow,

  11. May then you will be following more of nature. Do we enjoy by becoming
    natural, sometimes?

    Are we getting many sufferenings or not getting right healing and
    reasonings of many 'yet unclear conditions/aspects" due to not pursuing
    and due to not getting naturally needed interactions with reflections
    and emissions by our natural exposures since our evolution? Are we now
    getting excess, deficient or different such interactions to which we
    are not naturally evolved due to following of modern lifestyle and
    environment?

    Absolutely! We're nude most late afternoons in the summer,
    and often take a nature walk that feels really good.
    I'm a bit shy, so I sometimes wear a light slip to cover my
    bottom, that sucks though.

    Yes
    Clothing is a tool, but it has evolved to become a
    fetish, that I think is unhealthy if it excludes natural
    nudity. We have a clothing option policy and
    surprisingly women are much more comfortable
    with nudity than men. Men tend to react to nudity,
    while woman enjoy it more naturally.

    We might be living in jungle type environment for most of the time from
    our evolution till today and adapted to that. Check if direct sunlight
    esp. in afternoon is good or it should be filtered type light from
    trees.

    Yes

    Can't many of our diseases and difficult healings, reasons of which
    couldn't yet be known, come under this category of "not getting
    balanced natural exposures" or getting imbalanced and variated sunlight
    oriented exposures?

    May be a natural job to attract. But some cloths with natural fiber may
    somewhat serve the purpose of "filtered light through the trees".

    Ah, yes, but notably the larger penises are tanned
    in proportion to length...hmmm
    I'll stop here...

  15. Anymore comments on:-

    1. Dynamic effects by sunlight realed to our exposures and interactions
    with many substances to which we are directly(naturally and
    unnaturally) exposed by their "reflections and emissions" on us?

    2.Are we now getting such imbalanced exposures and interations due to
    living indoors, modern lifestyle and environment rsuting into most
    "unclear causes and healings"?

    3.What differentiating effects we can get during day and night--due to
    changes in atmospheric O2, CO2 etc.(by respiration changes in plants)
    and due to less or more sunlight?

    4. As such, how SUN considered as "God of health" or health giver is
    correct?
