This is Vitamin D expert Dr. Roger Seheult.

He's spent years researching what sunlight REALLY does to our bodies. In his recent DOAC podcast he said:

The sunlight advice is killing millions of people every year.

Here's the truth they don't want you to know:

As a critical care doctor, Dr. Seheult has watched thousands die in the ICU.

He noticed a pattern: patients who got sunlight recovered faster. Patients who stayed indoors died.

The vitamin D supplements weren't working. Something else was ↓

Taking vitamin D supplements simply isn't enough.

We're taught sunlight equals vitamin D. Therefore, take a supplement and you are good.

The truth is, sunlight has far more benefits than just vitamin D.

The real magic? Infrared light ↓

Infrared light from the sun penetrates up to 8 centimeters deep into your body.

That's not surface level. That's reaching your organs, your blood vessels, your brain tissue.

And it does something incredible to your mitochondria...

Your mitochondria are like car engines.

As you age, their energy output drops by 70%. Imagine running your house on 70% less power.

In liver cells: fatty liver
In heart cells: heart failure
In brain cells: DEMENTIA

Here's what infrared light does to your mitochondria:

It activates a cellular "switch" in just 15 minutes.

Research by Glenn Jeffrey (UCL) shows that mitochondria start producing their own cooling system, melatonin, RIGHT IN THE CELL.

Not brain melatonin. Cellular melatonin.

This cellular melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that prevents oxidative stress.

Think of oxidative stress as cellular rust.
It's what makes your mitochondria overheat and shut down.

Infrared light = cellular air conditioning system.

Glenn Jeffrey tested this on humans:

15 minutes of red light therapy improved glucose metabolism immediately.

More efficient mitochondria = better cellular energy = less blood sugar spikes.

The byproduct? Higher carbon dioxide in exhaled breath (proof of better metabolism).

COVID proved this theory. Hospitals checked vitamin D levels religiously.

High vitamin D = survival.
Low vitamin D = death.

So they gave vitamin D supplements to dying patients.

Result: Didn't work.

Dr. Seheult realized vitamin D was just a MARKER.

High vitamin D = person goes outside = getting infrared light
Low vitamin D = stays indoors = no infrared light

The vitamin D supplements missed the point entirely.

The proof: Brazilian study on COVID patients.

They made jackets with 940-nanometer infrared LEDs (invisible light).

15 minutes daily for 7 days:
• Better oxygen levels
• Stronger breathing
• Improved blood markers
• 4 DAYS SHORTER hospital stay

Insane results!

Dr. Seheult started taking his ICU patients outside.

One COVID patient on 35 liters of oxygen, 100% concentration:

Day 1 outside: Dropped to 15 liters
Day 3: 12 liters
Day 4: 8 liters
Day 5: Discharged home with NO oxygen

Here is what sun did to him ↓

The Swedish followed 30,000 women for 20 years.

Women who avoided the sun had the SAME mortality risk as smokers.

Avoiding sunlight = same death risk as cigarettes.

Americans spend 93% of their time indoors.

Peak deaths occur exactly 1 month after the shortest day of the year (December/January).

In Australia? Peak deaths in June/July (their winter).

Deaths follow sunlight patterns, not social patterns.

The mitochondrial connection to dementia:

Your brain cells have the highest concentration of mitochondria in your body. When they fail. you get brain fog, memory loss, cognitive decline.

15 minutes of sunlight is like hitting the mitochondrial reset button.

But there's more to the story.

Sunlight is just 1 of the 8 pillars Dr. Seheult discovered that prevent cellular aging:

N - Nutrition
E - Exercise
W - Water (hot/cold therapy)
S - Sunlight
T - Temperance
A - Air
R - Rest
T - Trust

NEW START framework.

Your body is designed to be outside.
Your mitochondria are solar-powered.

15 minutes of morning sunlight isn't just "nice to have." You must do it! It's essential.

Stop living like a vampire.

Sun vs. no sun → who looks healthier?

I'll leave it up to you to decide.

A bit about me: I've spent 20 years in the health industry learning what mainstream medicine won't tell you.

Survived cancer, healed physical conditions through meditation, built a supplement company jigsawhealth.com

Thanks for reading!

I've spent 20 years researching what actually moves the needle on health.
