'For more than 50 years, there has been documentation in the medical literature suggesting that regular sun exposure is associated with substantial decreases in death rates from certain cancers and a decrease in overall cancer death rates. '

You avoid Artificial Blue Light, but what about Flicker? Flicker is a rapid and repeated change over time in the brightness of light.

2 Types:

Melatonin: Hormone of Daylight 👇👇👇 Most know Melatonin as the Hormone of Darkness.

What they don't know is there is circulatory melatonin (Night) produced by the Pineal Gland and there is Extrapineal/Subcellular melatonin (Day) produced locally by your Mitochondria in response to NIR (Near-Infrared) light.

REDOX 👇👇👇 Cells derive energy from one type of chemical reaction called Redox (Reduction and Oxidation) in your Mitochondria which makes up the Respiratory Chain.

The process transfers one or more electrons from a donor (Oxidized) to a receptor (Reduced).

👇👇👇 Why should you worry about non-Ionizing EMR?
