🚨Red light reverses the cellular damage done by UV-B light.☀️
This study is a bit of a science mouthful, but that’s the headline.
People often ask us “isn’t sunlight dangerous? Doesn’t UV damage your skin?”
Wow.
A major medical journal, the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health (a publication of the BMJ) has published a peer-reviewed op-ed stating that we should “err on the side of caution” & stop the roll out of 5G networks until we better understand health impacts of EMFs.
Glad to see the flicker rate of LED/fluorescent lighting coming up more often.
Sadly, lots of skeptics trying to dunk on

Well ok, here are the studies…
You can see a warm LED and think it’s fine because of the perceived color temperature. But take a slow-motion video and you’ll see the flicker. This is very bad for the brain.

Sunlight exposure is linked to DECREASES in most cancers.
This is not news. This paper is from 20 years ago!
Looking at deaths over a 10-year period in the US, the authors determined each person’s overall exposure to sunlight.
And more sunlight = fewer cancers.
We talk a lot about optimizing your light environment, but another important strategy for optimal health is regular connection to the earth - or grounding.
When you connect your bare skin to soil, grass, sand, rocks, or trees, you pick up free electrons from the earth.

Since we focus here on the connections between light and health, we often get asked “wait… how exactly does light exert such a big biological effect on the body?”
Good question!
Time for a science🧵…
"Melatonin significantly reduced (by 93%) the mortality of severely-infected COVID-19 patients... The primary mechanisms of melatonin against SARS-CoV-2 infection are attributed to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory activities."
You don’t say…
“New research suggests that circadian lighting in the ICU may improve the outcomes of these very ill patients, both now and up to a year after their hospital stay.”
Did you know that our skin can “see” light…?
Opsins are light-sensitive proteins found widely in mammals. We have them in our retina - eg they are our “rods and cones” receptors.
Each opsin has a distinct absorption spectrum, meaning it reacts to a specific frequency of light.
Genetics play a small role, but people seriously underestimate environmental and social roles in longevity.
Could go into further detail, but original tweet is a bit vague. Could come down to where they are smoking/drinking, what context they’re doing it in, amounts, etc.
We get this a lot.
So here is a thread.
When an expert (or someone who took one physics class once) says WiFi/phone/Bluetooth EMFs aren't harmful, what they really mean is "Those EMFs are non-ionizing, so they cannot have a biological effect on human health."
Let's look at that.
Around 50% of your blood flows through your retinal arteries every 40 minutes. So being outside for 90 minutes exposes your *entire circulation* to sunlight.
100 years ago, heliotherapy was an accepted part of medicine.
It was awarded one of the first Nobel Prizes in Medicine, and had been recognized as an effective health treatment since Ancient Greece.
Yet today, we are told “there is no safe amount of sun exposure.” 🤦♂️
Making sunrise the first light of the day that you see every day is one of the most profound life and brain hacks you can experience.
It will change your neurochemistry, your health, and your life.
No exaggeration.
☀️
Bright sunny days & dark nights = optimal neurotransmitter levels.
If you suffer from anxiety, brain fog, poor sleep, depression, etc… fix your lighting environment, and you’ll be amazed how quickly things improve.
Excessive artificial blue light and nnEMF, especially at night, with fear of sunlight creates dopamine dysfunction, resulting in learned helplessness and fear conditioning.
LASIK involves the thinning/weakening of the corneal stroma. The amount that gets removed depends on the myopia you’re correcting. It can be a lot.
The issue is the stroma contains Neuropsin, which is a UVA-photosensitive opsin & part of the circadian system. cc
@zaidkdahhaj
@zaidkdahhaj
I don’t understand how LASIK would be detrimental. All it does is slightly reduce the thickness of the cornea, removing maybe 5% of the thickness?
When pets roll around on the ground they also gather electrons from the earth, and then bring them back to you every time they cuddle/rub up against you.
So pets are great for redox. They’re basically electron transfer mechanisms. Constantly grounding you even if you’re inside.
@Grimhood
There is a Chinese expression: “poor people buy things twice.”
Basically: if you cheap out, you save money now but you end up paying for it again and again.
Important read.
1) Sunlight destabilizes & inactivates the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
2) People who spend more time in sunlight, and make more Vitamin D, get less COVID-19.
3) And when they do get it, they have less severe symptoms, fewer deaths, and recover faster.
Get some ☀️☀️☀️!
All of this. Go eat some oysters.
The other thing to mention is red & IR frequencies in sunlight are protective against UV damage.
Early morning & late afternoon sun, with low UV, build your ‘solar callus’ and prepare the skin for / heal the skin from high UV levels in mid-day.
Seed oils are only half the story in this context, in which they displace omega-6 fatty acids displace omega-3 fatty acids from tissue, skin notably in this context.

At this time of year (winter in the northern hemisphere) we get a lot of questions about the role of cold 🥶 & heat 🔥 in mitochondrial energy production.
Here's a quick thread.
First a reminder of how the mitochondrial electron transport chain produces ATP (our energy currency).
The piece was written by epidemiologist Prof. John William Frank (Usher Institute, U of Edinburgh), who cites the mounting evidence of RF-EMF effects on health, the increased transponder density required by 5G networks, & regulatory conflicts of interest.
This is for every single one of you who truly believe that sunlight exposure causes melanoma:
If sunlight exposure is the cause of skin cancer (melanoma specifically), then why does 40-45% of the sun’s light contain red and infrared light which is protective against melanoma?
This is an amazing paper summarizing all the opsins in human skin, the history of their discoveries, the frequencies of light they respond to, the roles they play, and which layer of skin they're located.

More testing on the effect of grounding.
Even 5 minutes of grounding has a measurable effect.
So does just being outside without grounding.
Both increase the charge separation in your blood & cellular water.
Thanks to
@JessicaGenetics
for doing these excellent experiments.
My conclusions:
1. Walking/circulation isn’t causing the effect we’re seeing
2. Just the act of going outside in the shade seems to offer some benefit
3. 5 minutes of grounding barefoot on grass is enough to have an effect
“Almost every chronic condition can be directly linked to chrono-biological disruption.”
We recently interviewed Dr Alexander Wünsch - physician, and professor and researcher. He’s one of the world’s leading experts on photo-biology & is often referred to as “The Light Doctor.”
This 20-year old study showed "microwave sickness resulting from exposure to emissions from GSM mobile phone [towers]. Fatigue, irritability, lack of appetite, sleep troubles, depression and lack of concentration were especially related with GSM exposure."
Yes mitochondria can talk to each other...
But infrared light can also travel throughout the body because the photons are low enough energy that they can 'bounce' off of many different tissues rather than being absorbed, 'pinballing' deeper into the body.
How cool is that?
The effect of infrared light on the human body only needs a portion of the body to be exposed. Why? It might help to know that its been shown that mitochondria in different tissues can "talk" to each other - (perhaps with cell phones?)
.
Florence Nightingale: “It is the unqualified result of all my experience with the sick, that second only to their need of fresh air is their need of light”
Never get tired of looking at this spectrum. 🌈 ☀️ 🔥
It’s also a good reminder that things like wifi and 5G (both in the microwave frequencies) are also part of the light spectrum, and have a biological effect.
This is one of the biggest takeaways of the last 2 years.
Become your own health expert. It’s not actually that hard. And it will save you time, money, confusion, and will add years to your life.
People get so triggered by the suggestion that sunscreen might not be good for you.
But go ahead and try to find any high quality research showing that suncreen usage prevents skin cancer. There isn't any.
Sunscreen has always been bad. 15 years ago Outside magazine was saying that the chemicals in it fried your androgen receptors.
Now this stuff gets buried because people are scared to say anything that will upset the “better living through chemistry” cult. Heck, New York Times

Solar Callus = You can build up your skin’s tolerance to the sun over time, so you can stay out much longer and not burn.
Redox = the net negative charge in your mitochondria, which is a proxy for overall health. It drives how efficient they are at converting food into energy.
If you're struggling with any chronic disease, fixing your circadian rhythm & light environment has to be the first piece of your health protocol.
Always. Full stop.
@zaidkdahhaj
Start with the highest leverage tools first.
Circadian health/light hygiene/earthing provide 10x effects compared to diet, exercise, and supplements.
The choice is clear.
@QuantumHealthTV
"Redox is a function of your environment: it's about collecting electrons. What's really the purpose of your mouth, your gut & your feet? Electron collection. The purpose of your eyes is to get light on your electrons, because sunlight excites electrons." ☀️
@DrJackKruse
on redox
Absolutely.
You can think of any action or environment as either a net ‘donor’ of electrons to you or as depleting them from you.
So grounding is a great electron donor. But so are:
- being outside in sunlight
- being near a waterfall
- using a sauna
- cold immersion
Is anyone else grounding every hour or so now? Lol
I have a suspicion that the duration grounding lasts is not proportional to the time spent grounded, but that it has more to do with how fast you’re “using” the charge.
For example, an iPhone battery will drain faster the more
And here’s the cool part…
Those same mitochondria?
They also take sunlight, grounding on the earth, standing by a waterfall, or walking in a forest and turn THOSE into ATP.
It’s the electron transport chain, and however you gather electrons, mitochondria turns them into ATP.
The meme about mitochondria being the “powerhouse of the cell”?
What does that actually mean?
Mitochondria are the cellular machines that utilize Glucose and turn them into ATP
The more mitochondria you have and the better they function, the more glucose get converted to
Great thread on fluoride. 👇
There’s something else which ties together many of the points
@drkohilathas
lists.
Fluorine has a much lower dielectric constant than water, so F reduces the ability of the body’s cellular water to hold a charge. It literally depletes our “battery.”
We know low Vitamin D levels are correlated to increased rates of many diseases.
But as
@ResilientDad
mentions there are actually many forms of Vitamin D (which is actually a hormone, not a Vitamin, but that’s another topic).
And only 25OHD3 levels correlate with illness.
1/4
I wonder how Vitamin D deficiency statistics would change if we switched to measuring 1,25-(OH)2 (active form) instead of 25-hydroxy-vitamin-D3 (inactive form)?
Most statistics are based on the inactive form.

This is one of the best, and scariest, reads on the history of EMFs and their impact on health. Much like the healing power of sunlight, 100 years ago doctors knew that electric fields had a biological impact. Then, all of a sudden, medicine and society conveniently forgot.
@Grimhood
"The Invisible Rainbow" by Arthur Fistenberg breaks down the effects of electromagnetic pollution on living organisms; details how, historically, electrification and intensification of nnEMFs coincided with the onset of systemic diseases, neurasthenia, heart disease, diabetes.

Being outside in the sun with your eyes directly exposed (ie no glasses or sunglasses) irradiates your entire blood supply with solar energy in just 2 hours. Even if you’re fully clothed otherwise!
@Grimhood
40-50% of the blood volume flows through the chorioretinal circulation per hr. So 1hr of sun exposure eyes exposed (not direct sun gazing) is an amazing benefit to systemic health at the quantum level and awesome for mitochondria throughout the body.
Really interesting paper showing that:
1) we are highly sensitive to evening light, even at low levels
2) even dim light can lead to a delay of melatonin release of > 1 hour
3) but there is significant variability between individuals - some are much more sensitive than others.

We’ve found that the two are interconnected.
When you improve your redox with sun / cold / HIIT / avoiding bad light, you increase dopamine & serotonin and reduce inflammation… which fixes brain fog and allows you to be clearer, be more mindful, be still, and be more connected.
Anyone can do diet, exercise, sunlight, minimization of blue light, and cold/heat exposure, but it is the herbal medicines, prayer/meditation, mindfulness, spiritual connection/practice, and/pranayama that have brought me so far and will continue to allow me to achieve more.

It’s a common misperception that sun exposure causes melanoma. You hear this from MDs, dermatologists, even cancer associations.

Melanoma does show some link to sun, but *regular* sun exposure seems to be protective of melanoma.
@QuantumHealthTV
@EWenxue
@GraduatedBen
No it's not. All exposure to sun means you're rolling the dice on melanoma. UV is radiation and it works literally exactly like any radiation; probability of damage scales with exposure. If you develop a tan, that's roughly equivalent to 2-4 SPF. In other words, barely works.
You might even teach your MD something. There is a 10-20 year lag time between when new medical research is published & when it reaches the average MD's office (known in medicine as 'the translational gap'). Especially if a drug company isn't in their office pushing a solution.
Doctors who say never Google your symptoms are morons. Googling my symptoms and digging through forums was the only way I was able to cure myself when doctors misdiagnosed and didn’t have a clue mostly because they were probably too lazy

Seeing the sunrise every day is one of the most important things we can do for our biology and health.
The sunrise sets your master circadian clock, every peripheral clock in your body, and ensures your hormones and neurotransmitters are functioning properly.
We keep saying this: the reason to get healthy & optimize your mitochondria is so you DON'T have to sweat every little thing.

This is a great point that’s often misunderstood, even (especially) in our health-focused communities.
People treat health as something to be perfected.
But another way to see health is achieving a state where you don’t have to be “perfect” because your body can take some stress.
Health is not merely the absence of symptoms.
It is the capacity of the body to endure stress, privation, toxic and infectious exposures, and physical work.
Symptoms dissipate not when good health is achieved, but when it is about to be achieved.
