How Sunlight and Infrared Light Improve Health

Americans are much less healthy compared to people from other developed nations because of the amount of time we spend outside. The average American spends 93 percent of their life indoors, with 87 percent being inside buildings and another 6 percent inside a vehicle.

And, during that meager 7 percent of the time exposed to the sun, they are mostly covered up from head to toe or slathered with sunscreen. The downward trend in sun exposure is matched by an equal and opposite trend in chronic diseases over the last century.

My Godson is African American and lives in Massachusetts. His mom covers his skin completely with sunscreen during the three months he spends more time outside. He receives no benefit from the ultimate source of energy - the Sun.

"Go out into the light and warmth of the glorious sun, you pale and sickly ones, and share with vegetation its life-giving, health-healing power.”

- The Health Reformer, May 1, 1871

Light energy, in the form of waves, performs a variety of types of work (work requires energy). UV and visible light produce electrons (electricity). Infrared light creates vibrations (motion - aka heat). Microwave light creates rotation (motion - aka heat).

Electrons are needed to heal tissue (wounds) and provide energy (Krebs cycle within the mitochondria). Electron stealers, infections, for example, rob your body of electrons. Antioxidants are electron donors. They repair the damage created by electron stealers. Our immune system works by "stealing" electrons from infections to kill these invaders. This "anti-oxidant" action is specific and targeted. Your healthy tissue is not attacked by your immune system, but there is the potential for "collateral damage."

Not all antioxidants provide relief, at least under certain circumstances. Do you know why? Dr. Lewis provides the scientific foundation that explains why. The key considerations are:
