IS THERE UV LIGHT AT SUNRISE?

UV power level at sunrise in Northern hemisphere summer = Zero.

You usually find UV light doesn’t emerge until about 20 minutes after sunrise (this depends where you are in the world). Even at that time it is very weak UVA registering a... Image
00.1 on the meter.

I suspect there is UV at sunrise just not detectable by a meter but, there definitely is UV light out in early morning hours shortly after sunrise. You are not UV free until 930am or whatever some meme shows.

So get out there early for the uv free red and...
& blue light heavy sunrise which, among many other things, starts production/release of hormones and preps your skin to safely withstand stronger sun later in the day.

Hang around for just a little longer until that tiny bit of purple light (uv) emerges to combine with...
infrared-A and some tryptophan in your eye to start making #melatonin for good sleep later that night and enabling strong, energy efficient #mitochondria. Not to mention keeping your #circadianrhythm and cellular clocks set properly and synchronized at the time nature intended.

WAIT, WHAT.......LIGHT THROUGH WINDOWS GIVE YOU MELANOMA AND NOT DIRECT SUNLIGHT?

There is a secret fact your dermatologist doesn't want you to know.

A paradox exists between indoor and outdoor workers because indoor workers get three to nine times less solar UV light (290–400 nm) exposure than outdoor workers get, yet only indoor workers have an increasing incidence of MELANOMA.

So there is something about being indoors that increases your risk of getting melanoma.

Artificial light, especially at night, is one of those things that increase risk but....

This paper shows that increased UVA light exposure and decreased Vitamin D levels can also increase your risk for melanoma.

What increases UVA and decreases Vitamin D?

Most windows.

Depending on the coatings and how they are made, most windows will increase the relative amount of UVA light and block most of the UVB light which will decrease the amount of Vitamin D you can make if you are living and working indoors during the day.

SO its not really the sun that causes the cancer but manmade artificial lights and/or an artificial spectrum of sunlight (artificial because it has been altered by something manmade (the windows).

If you do work indoors a lot during the day, make sure to take multiple sun breaks outside or at the very least OPEN a window.Image
"we now propose that indoor solar UVA exposures, which cause mutations [45] and depletes vitamin D3 in the skin [34], and inadequately maintained amounts of cutaneous vitamin D3 can promote CMM (melanoma)."

QUESTION: WHAT ARE MEDICAL ERRORS THE THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN AMERICA?

ANSWER.......

Because doctors and nurses are all suffering from severe circadian rhythm disruption due to hospital work requirements.

"Ayas et al’s findings are consistent with the previous research on health care workers’ shifts, sleep, and medical outcomes. Previous research focused on residents showed extended work hours are associated with medical errors and adverse outcomes....another study on nurses observed that poor sleep quality increased nurses’ medical errors. Similarly, the variability in individuals’ circadian rhythms may affect medical errors........There is a substantial amount of literature on sleep and medical errors in nurses, residents, and physicians......Medication administration errors, fatigue and depression were all significantly affected by circadian sleep disorders."Image
Image
Conclusions
Medication administration errors, fatigue and depression were all significantly affected by circadian sleep disorders. An administration’s control of work flow to provide convenient sleep hours will help in improving sleep circadian rhythms and consequently minimize these problems.

YOUR DUMB DERMATOLOGIST SAYS THE SUN CAUSES WRINKLES LOL

Yet most of you fools avoid the sun like it is the plague and still need all sorts of creams and potions and anti wrinkle defenses....

Does your delusional dermatologist even have a clue that chronic artificial light at night disrupts not only your gut microbiome, but as a paper below shows, your skin microbiome as well?

And as a paper below also shows, a disrupted skin microbiome = MORE WRINKLES.

So while an argument can be made that improper use of the sun (for instance sun through a window) could lead to wrinkles....we definitely know that artificial light at night disrupts your skin's microbiome which leads to more wrinkles.

We know it.

But your dermatologist doesnt.

When was the last time the dermatologist told you to turn off the lights at night to prevent wrinkles?

Yeah, thats what I thought.Image

Regular late bedtime not only damages the skin barrier and skin structure but also reduces the diversity and composition of facial bacterial microbiome.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35698548/
"aberrant light exposure such as dim light at night (dLAN) can alter the composition, relative abundance, and daily oscillations of gut microbiota. Together, our results indicate that external light‐dark cycle information can modulate gut microbiota in the direction from the brain to the gut via the sensory system."

GOT GUT PROBLEMS?

SUNLIGHT helps diversify and repair gut microbiome.

RED LIGHT lowers inflammation stimulates tissue repair & improves microbiome.

UVB LIGHT on skin increases the good bacteria and decreases the bad.

CIRCADIAN RHYTHM regulates much of gastrointestinal… https://t.co/pjiMwYbvtTtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Sunlight is free. Learn how the sun works. Start slow, get outside and get sunlight on your gut and as much skin as possible in the early morning and around sunset. Then go out for UVB a little around solar noon. You will build up a tolerance over time. Image
Practice BRIGHT days and DARK nights for circadian rhythm optimization. Go outside ALOT during the day. Indoor lighting is way too dark. Make your nights as dark as you can. Wear blue blocking glasses if you have any light at night.

GOT TINNITUS?

Get red light.

660nm directly into the ear canal. Image
Laser therapy is effective in treatment of tinnitus of scuba divers and its effect is increased by number of laser sessions. Image
Here's an inner ear red light laser.....

DO I WEAR SUNGLASSES?

Yes. I have an awesome pair of Ray-Ban aviators.

Do I wear them while walking in the morning?

Eff no. I'm not stupid.

When do I wear them?

Only when I'm... Image
driving any vehicle and the sun or glare is so strong I can't see.

That rare short term need to not die due to crashing into a light pole while driving or a tree while skiing outweighs the long term risk of super bad health from wearing sunglasses chronically.

But...
for the vast majority of your time, stop wearing sunglasses.

So many fools outside on morning walks wearing sunglasses.

Do you think they even know why or is it just brainwashing?
