Since sunlight and vitamin D were discussed, let me add my own experience which is based on practicing the Budwig protocol as a general health enhancer. Dr, Budwig stated that a person who has been ingesting the flax-oil/Quark mixture for a few months develops a very real resistance to sun burn and that NO sun blocker should be used at all, using common sense in determining the length of exposure to the sun. During July/August of 2006 I sunbathed under the mid-day sun for an hour at a time with no sun-blocker at all. At times it got so hot that I even turned on a large fan on myself, to cool down. I got a nice tan, but no sunburn. In November, while lying for hours in the hot sun, on the deck of a cruise ship in Greece, I felt my face get that hot, flushed feeling which lasted two days, but again no burn or peeling. The whole theory is explained in Dr. Budwig's books, which are available from Nexus and other book sellers. I just know from direct experience that it works, and also builds up the body's vitamin D level.
Peter -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Same thing with Vitamin D...which is actually Pandemic...since we have been told to slather sunblock on even if we go out for the mail...:( (I exaggerate, of course)...we have also blocked the benefits from exposure to Sunlight...Vitamin D. The answer is so simple...use the Sunblock if being in the Outdoors for long periods of time..just be sure and get in 15 to 20 minutes of Sun daily...minus the sunblock. Two years ago in trying to find the reason for the pain in my bones and muscles..tests..including a PTH- Intact showed that I had a -zero Vitamin D in my system. Not surprised. As an Irishwoman ...I have always been very sensitive to the sun...and avoid it like the plague. This Had to result in a negative D level...along with a genetic glitch in my family...makes for some nasty problems. Did intensive therapy and brought the levels to about 20...the numbers should be minimum of 50..trying a new doc..will see what he says.
