Rest assured I believe that sunburn is caused by mucus forming foods. I never quit wearing sunglasses however when I quit eating mucus warming foods I went from getting sunburned in just 20 minutes to not getting sunburned at all not even 5 or 6 hours continuous in the Sun at the beginning of the sunny season.

Fascinating, and pragmatic advice. In hindsight, this should be "obvious" that anything which takes us away from the environment we evolved to survive and thrive in is ultimately bad for us...

i wear the shades when driving in the morning and evening cos im usually driving towards the sun. UV doesnt really penetrate the atmosphere at this northern latitude (uk) at these times anyway

Jack Kruse in his videos also cites some Russian ophthamologists whose research in the 1970s were shunned in the West. Don't remember which videos.

Also, sungaze meditations during sunrise and sunset is good for your eyes and health. I try to do this on the rare days when they're not blocking out the Sun during those times. You should ground your bare feet to the Earth. The book The Crystalline Transmission Volume 3 has some details. There must be something to this, since they try so hard to block during those times. The Sun I believe gets charged up by the galactic central sun and its cosmic rays, which then charges the Earth and its organisms, causing an awakening.

Oh, and I remember when my ex-wife and I would get transition lenses. She and my son still do. Hope my daughter doesn't succumb in the future! This reminds me of Jacob Liberman, who has a technique to correct your vision: https://www.jacobliberman.org/about

This is so true, Roman! I ditched my sunglasses a few years, and my eyes are much less sensitive. I do have a cautionary tale, however, about sun-gazing. Several years ago, while still living in the city, I walked down to the river to watch the sunset. I was squinting at it as it went down, mesmerized by the colorful rays. The next morning, I went for a walk, and I couldn't read the street signs. Prior to this, my distance vision was excellent. I only wore reading glasses When I went into a grocery store, I couldn't read anything on the shelves. I eventually had to get glasses for driving. I wish I could go back and undo that day. My vision has never been the same.

That being said, I agree with everything you've written. The sun has been vilified when in reality, it's the source of healing for us. I'm trying to break my habit of wearing glasses at all, and I make sure my eyes and skin see the sun every day. You should do an article on what a scam dermatology is. I let myself get chopped up so many times from skin cancers. Of course, this was back in the day when I wore sunscreen and had a crappy diet. Anyway, thx for the good info! Our bodies know best.

Thanks for the article. Dr Huberman on youtube has many informative talks re eye health, sun light, etc. But, my opthalmologists over the years have told me that cataracts and now macular degeneration are due partly to UV damage; I've rarely worn sun glasses.

Heh, the glasses dumb us down. No wonder my GPA was under 3 😑.

I stopped wearing any form of glasses a few years ago, especially the medicated ones once I read about how they cause lens deformation.

But anytime you google this stuff, the search engines are filled with medical optics sponsored content.

I feel sorry for the folks relying on the internet nowadays for knowledge or health.
