Sunlight and Cancer
Medical and scientific research demonstrates that the risk of 20 major cancers is reduced by regular sunlight exposure. These include the "big three" of breast, prostate and colon cancers.
Do you realize that melanoma risk increases as sunlight exposure decreases? In 1900, about 75% of the US population worked outdoors. Today, only 10% of the population does. Even as sunlight exposure has dramatically decreased, melanoma has exponentially increased by 2,500%!
Astonishingly, melanoma rates increased only in indoor workers not outdoor workers. Seventy-eight percent of all melanomas occur on areas of your body that are seldom exposed to sunlight. Melanomas also occur inside sexual organs, on the soles of your feet, in your mouth and in armpits all areas receiving little or no sunlight exposure.
Another causal factor is the increased use of sunscreen.
But sunlight improves your health on other fronts besides cancer too
Sunlight and Heart Disease
Could heart disease be related to the amount of sunlight and vitamin D exposure you get? Studies show that if you have low vitamin D3 levels, you have 2.4 times the risk of heart attack as those with the highest vitamin D levels.
Men with the lowest levels of vitamin D have nearly six times the risk of hypertension as those with the highest levels. Women have 'just' three times the risk of hypertension if their D3 levels are low.
Vitamin D, Osteoporosis and Fractures
An interesting study was done with women with osteoporosis. They were taken outside for sunbaths for a year, resulting in a 3.3% increase in bone mass and a reduced fracture risk of one-sixth, compared to those women who did not sunbathe. The sunbathers also increased their vitamin D levels by 400%.
Vitamin D and Depression
One research study showed that elderly people who had the lowest levels of vitamin D were 11.7 times as likely to suffer from mood disorders as those whose levels were highest.
Vitamin D and Chronic Pain
A most impressive clinical observation of five vitamin D-deficient patients who suffered from myopathy, a disease of bone and muscle tissue proves that vitamin D helps relieve pain. Patients were confined to wheelchairs and experienced severe fatigue, weakness, and chronic pain. After receiving 50,000 IU per week of vitamin D, all regained enough strength and energy within four to six weeks to be mobile and functional, and their aches and pains disappeared.
Vitamin D is Not a 'Vitamin'
Most people think that vitamin D is really a vitamin. In reality, the active form of Vitamin D is one of the most potent hormones in your body, and is essential for health. Vitamin D is produced as a pro-hormone in your skin after sunlight exposure, and is then converted to the potent hormone form. Without this hormone, you could die, and indeed, many do die from vitamin D deficiency-related causes.

The so-called health-care crisis is in great part due to the "powers of darkness" who insist that you avoid the sunlight and slather yourself with the noxious chemicals found in most sunscreenschemicals that inhibit 99.5% of the production of vitamin D by the skin that is covered with them. This is a multi-billion dollar industry that will never tell you the truth.
