Truly enjoyed this article! Saving, sharing!

Why would anyone think it’s a good idea to dim the sun?

Might be hard for Arizonans to experience the sun in cool hours.

Thank you LW!!! So glad you enjoyed it. Yes good point on finding 'cool' sun in Arizona, however I will say in Northern AZ it does stay pretty cool (has been in the low 60s here in the forest) until about 7am...then it amps up fast!

Since recently learning that the sun is GOOD for my eye's macular degeneration condition, I go outside every morning for a few minutes and look at the clouds around the sun.

I call it my sun therapy.

I also walk around my community for about 20 minutes just before sundown, exposing my eyes to the sunlight.

I recently stopped wearing sunglasses when outside for a little while.

AMAZING! I'm so glad you've catapulted yourself on that journey Susie...it's a life-changer, and a game-winner (:

Thanks for this and all your articles. I work in a school so I have most of the summer off and get as much sun as I can during that time. However, I live in the Northeast and work in an office with fluorescent lights and no windows from Sept-mid June. I am not in a position to change jobs at this time. Can you recommend a good daylight simulator lamp to keep by my desk at work? Or at least guide me in what features to look for? There are so many brands/models and pricing—it is hard to know what’s best. I’d appreciate any advice from you and or your readers!

Hi Lynn, thanks for sharing. This may not be the advice you were looking for, but I actually like incandescent red light as it boosts melatonin production. Here's an article for you to consider: https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/why-sad-lamps-may-not-make-you-happy

Sorry I don't have more time to leave a more in-depth comment right now. reach out to me if you have more questions roman@thepowercouple.ca

i wonder what skeletal/bone tuberculosis really was and why it has disappeared - in my entire life i have not heard of anyone suffering from it except in the distant past. i also wonder what those weird button-shaped "TB tests" actually were. they were commonly done back in the 1950s thru 1970s (and probably earlier too), supposedly to see if you had TB - not really a "vaccination", but given along with vaxxes and written into one's vax certificate . . . (maybe they still are; IDK).

what a great article! Rollier has a nicely tanned face & neck which was probably quite unusual for his time. - and the little boy - what an amazing change. in the 1960s/70s in CA, at least northern calif, there were a lot of passive solar houses built - it was even promoted by the governor, Jerry Brown - and they worked great (the ones that remain still do). current hospitals are probably the opposite of Rollier's heliotherapy clinics. back to the future!

i appreciate your reply rules.

Thanks Yantra! It was fun writing it. We'll be doing a couple podcasts on light therapy in the 1900s, which should elaborate on all of this as well as what was happening in the UK at the time, and how light therapy got suppressed in the 1920s. I'll need to look up the passive solar 60s housing...that's pretty cool!

A Beautifully written piece & a Beautiful Truth! One of the purest Truths ever spoken and lived!

No better option for a deadly controlling factor than to disappear and block this Life giver, this healer and replace it with a disharmonious assaultive synthetic replica!

This is what I am waiting for the world to wake up to - FAKE SUNS

I feel badly often when I read your solutions, because your solutions are THE VERY BEST - BUT ONLY IF the ORGANIC SUN STILL SHINES ABOVE - I think it no longer does.... so when we issue a healing prompt for humans to get out into the sunlight, these days it can truly be harmful.

We have spent decades not following the advice to don sunscreen, because we knew it was a ruse of toxic chemicals. Now people think that because they lied about toxic sunscreen and tried to keep us out of the life giving sun through their propaganda we go out into it thinking it is for our best health not knowing that they have blocked out our sun and replaced it with a disharmonious and destructive synthetic version made up of LED lights and mirrors that fries us from the inside out and the outside in, it also fries our brains.

MY GRIEF IS DEEP

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your efforts and good intentions!

Please, please, please, look into the REALITY of THE FAKE SUNS - they are not simply sitting on the ground, they have launched them and they operate daily. I am not sure of ALL the regions in which they operate but it IS definately in operation in Western Canada.
