Explores the many beneficial effects of sunlight to prevent and
treat illness and boost health and well-being * Shares scientific
research on sunlight therapy and tuberculosis, as well as studies
on sunlight with regard to osteoporosis, diabetes, multiple
sclerosis, tooth decay, psoriasis, heart disease, and several forms
of cancer * Reveals how the sun can act as a natural disinfectant,
killing viruses and bacteria, and how this wisdom was put into use
by doctors * Explains how sunlight affects eyesight, sleep, mental
health, and the immune system For thousands of years, the human
race lived in harmony with the sun and used its heat and light as
medicine. In recent history, however, with skin cancer on the rise,
we have become too focused on the negative effects of the sun.
Fortunately, science has made new discoveries showing just how
beneficial the sun truly is to our lives. In this new edition of
The Healing Sun, Richard Hobday draws on historical and scientific
evidence to explore the many ways that sunlight affects our health
and well-being. He shows how the sun acts as a natural
disinfectant, killing viruses and bacteria outdoors as well as
inside buildings. The author highlights how sunlight therapy has
been used to prevent and treat serious health problems like
tuberculosis and other infections in the years before antibiotics
were developed. Explaining how doctors of the past realized that
sunlight and fresh air helped patients recover, he shows how this
wisdom was put into use by doctors such as Niels Finsen, Oskar
Bernhard, and Auguste Rollier, who each contributed substantially
to the development of heliotherapy. Hobday also examines the role
of sunlight in regard to conditions like osteoporosis, rickets,
diabetes, multiple sclerosis, tooth decay, psoriasis, heart
disease, and several forms of cancer. Exploring the sun's effects
on body and mind, the author reveals how our modern artificially
lit lifestyles can throw off our biological rhythms, create stress
within the body, and lead to poor sleep as well as worsening
eyesight, cataracts, obesity, depression, and weakened immune
systems from lack of vitamin D. Showing why and how we should
welcome the healing sun back into our lives, this seminal book
reveals how humanity needs sunlight for health and well-being and
for vitality and happiness.
