It is remarkable how much we take for granted the tremendous energy
and vitality that the sun provides earth's inhabitants. As we enter
the new millennium, it is worthwhile to review how our ancestors
perceived the biologic effects of sunlight, and how science and
medicine have advanced our knowledge about the biologic effects of
light. At the turn of the century, a multitude of investigators
explored the use of sunlight and artificial radiation for treating
a multitude of diseases. These explorations gave rise to
photodynamic therapy, phototherapy, and chemophototherapy. However,
enthusiasm for using sunlight and artificial radiation to treat
disease was dampened with the birth of pharmacology. It was the
goal of the Fifth International Arnold Rikli Symposium on the
Biologic Effects of Light, held in Basel, Switzerland, on November
1-3, 1998, to review the history of phototherapy and have some of
the world's leading experts on the biologic effects of light
provide new perspectives on the positive and negative effects of
light. The general topics included a broad range of biologic
effects of sunlight, artificial ultraviolet radiation and
electromagnetic radiation. Special sessions on radiation and
vitamin D and bone health, photoimmunology, biopositive effects of
UV radiation, effects of electromagnetic currents and fields, and
ocular and non-ocular regulation of circadian rhythms and
melatonin, should be of particular interest to readers of Biologic
Effects of Light.
