Sunlight is the fundamental component that all life originates, develops, heals, and evolves. Light waves are frequencies of electromagnetic radiation that directly stimulate the sense of sight. Most energy comes from light, which travels at approximately 671 million miles/1,080 million kilometers per hour, or 186,282 mi/299,792 km per second. Without sunlight, oxygen, and water, all life on Earth would cease to exist!
Light waves within the electromagnetic spectrum, from infrared to near-ultraviolet, are full-spectrum and include all light wavelengths used by plant and animal life. Sunlight is full-spectrum even though the solar spectral distribution reaching
Earth changes with the time of day, latitude, and atmospheric conditions.

The spectrum of solar radiation reaching the Earth ranges from 290 to more than 1,000,000 nm. It appears as 6.8% UV, 38.9% visible, and 54.3% near-infrared radiation (NIR) [1]. Infrared constitutes the waveband longer than 760 nm and up to 1 mm. It accounts for approximately 40% of the solar radiation reaching the ground at sea level in three bands: IR-A (760–1400 nm), IR-B (1400–3000 nm), and IR-C (3000 nm – 1 mm) (See Figure 1). IR radiation can penetrate the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue to differing extents depending on the exact wavelength range being studied. Exposure to IR is perceived as heat [2]
IR-A Light
Exposure to visible and IR-A light nourishes the skin depending on the right combination of wavelength, fluence, and irradiance. Produced by natural sunlight at certain times of the day, these favorable conditions may prepare the skin for the potentially damaging effects of the mid-day UVR. IR-A has a beneficial effect on collagen and UVR damage. Nature thinks of everything.
Lightwaves, the Eyes, and the Glands
The work of Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (Nobel Laureate and the discoverer of vitamin C) showed that light waves from the Sun, including ultraviolet (UV) rays, provide
energy for plants to photosynthesize the substances necessary for growth. In the same way, light waves also provide energy and health for the proper functioning of biological systems in humans and animals.
The eyes are the entry points through which light has its profound effect on the regulations of human physiological and emotional functions, fertility, and the development of consciousness.
The hypothalamus receives light energy through the eyes and coordinates and regulates most of our life-sustaining functions. It also initiates and directs our reactions and adaptations to stress. The hypothalamus is composed of two zones and maintains harmony within the body. While one zone controls the sympathetic nervous system and stimulates hormone production, the other controls the parasympathetic nervous system and inhibits hormone production.
The pineal gland is the body’s light meter. It receives light-activated information from the eyes via the hypothalamus in the brain and then sends hormonal messages throughout the body. The pineal gland is located between the two brain hemispheres and behind and above the pituitary gland. Even though the pineal gland is the size of a pea, its functions are vast.
BEWARE! Fluoride, added to many medications, water supplies, crop sprays (e.g., cryolite on grapes), and a poultry deboning process, hardens (calcifies) the pineal gland and disrupts its functions. In turn, this affects all other glands and hormone functions.
The pituitary, the master gland, is also stimulated by light. The anterior pituitary affects the thyroid, adrenal cortex, testes, ovaries, breasts, muscles, internal organs, and the growth of long bones. The posterior pituitary affects mammary glands and kidneys.
The health of these glands and the proper balance of light waves (without glasses) are the main factors in preventing hormonal imbalances, depression, infertility, various types of cancers, and numerous other diseases.
Vitamin D is known as the ‘Sunshine’ vitamin because the body produces it during exposure to sunlight. Sunshine vitamin D is one of the best cancer preventives. Thus, all the slip, slop, slap, and cover-up from the Sun that many medical authorities have been promoting to prevent skin cancer are, ironically, contributing to it.
The benefits of sunshine vitamin D have been known for decades. Dr. Matthias Rath’s E-Bulletin, September 14, 2007, http://www.drrathresearch.org/ reported that vitamin D cuts early death risks, reduces cancer risks, and boosts the immune system. LONDON (Reuters) - According to research published, people who have regular exposure to sunshine vitamin D have a significantly lower risk of dying earlier than those who do not.
Philippe Autier of the International Agency for Cancer Research in France and Sara Gandini of the European Institute of Oncology in Milan, Italy, found that vitamin D lowered total mortality rates. Researchers doing a meta-analysis review of 18 separate trials that involved nearly 60,000 patients found that vitamin D blocks cancer cells from spreading and boosts the immune system. Sunshine, with its full-spectrum light waves entering the body via the skin (unlike supplement vitamin D), provides the most effective source of vitamin D.
Vitamin D produced from sunshine is an essential hormone required by the body for:
The proper absorption of calcium
Teeth and bone development
Control of cell growth
Neuromuscular functions
Alleviation of inflammation
Immune System strength
Vitamin D regulates the immune system and helps prevent breast cancer.
Sunlight contains large amounts of UV radiation. Depending on the wavelength, UV light is either near UV (UVA), mid-UV (UVB), or far-UV (UVC). Near-UV, directly adjoining the violet end of the visible light spectrum, is responsible for the tanning response in humans.
