Hi Wayne, Sunlight produces vitamin D for the body as I'm sure you know. >From what I understand, Direct sunlight ( not looking right at the sun mind you ) into the eyes for 20 min. is all that is required daily to receive the adequate amount to keep one sane. (Grin) There are studies readily out there explaining the effects of vit "D" on mental chemistry. I can't speak for how this may effect, if any, whether there is a relationship to back pain. From a physiological/anatomical point of view; there is clearly an imbalance in the musculoskeletal area of the body, involving mainly the muscles. Sedentary lifestyles and job related tasks contribute to back trouble. Most people I have encountered have weak abdominal muscles which makes the back muscles,( although extremely resilient and strong ) work overtime causing fatigue. This is where the imbalance occurs. Now I'm not saying go out and do all sorts of abdominal exercises and forget about the back, because u might just do the opposite to the situation. The body works synergistically and needs both the back and abs to work in unison to strengthen. Pilates, yoga are ideal ways to promote good postural alignment and correct any imbalance in this area of the body. If we are referring to an everyday "Joe" who just works and does stuff and has happened to acquire back trouble over the years. Sometimes we might not even be aware that we've pinched nerves along the cervical, thoracic, lumbar regions of the back also contributing to back aches and problems. They can be quite debilitating.
Your experience and observations are interesting indeed. But there was a time I didn't where a shirt tanning as such and honestly didn't change anything with my back problems. The only thing I could think of is the warm of the sun may sooth the problem area. The exercise wouldn't hurt either. Thanks for your imput.

I have a number of friends and relatives, age ranges from 40, 50, 60, and older. Many of these people, I have known their whole life, others only 15 to 25 years. I have observed their lifestyle, eating habits, and scratched my head relative to why they have back pains. Finally it became crystal clear. Every one of them share one thing in common. Not one of them has every worked a day in their life, in the Sun, with their shirt off. Some have worked in the sun off and on, yet they did not have the mind set and knowledge to remove their shirt. As a teen ager, I lived in the sun from daylight until dark. I wore only a pair of shorts. I even wore these to town and to the pool hall. In later years, I never miss a chance to remove my shirt and get some sunlight. Often at my shooting range, with temperatures in the 60's and 50's I remove my shirt for as long as I can stand the low temperatues. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
