Peter,
Very good post about your experience with sun exposure.
It really gives one food for thought about the condition of the body in 
relation to the dire warnings of sun and skin cancer, which are rampant.

  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.
