Heal Yourself with Sunlight
by Andreas Moritz
As the current Covid-19 crises persist, almost all governments are enforcing quarantine and lockdown, and public gatherings are being discouraged. Health officials took the same approach 100 years ago when the influenza was spreading around the world. The results were mixed. However, the experiences of the 1918 pandemic suggest one effective technique for dealing with the influenza: the open air and sun exposure treatment. The disinfecting power of nature --- fresh air and sunlight --- were amply proven potent, effective, and free through the hard-won experiences of Boston’s open-air hospital’s experiences in which they found severely ill flu patients nursed outdoors recovered better than those treated indoors. Putting infected patients out in the sun may have helped because it inactivates the influenza virus. It also kills bacteria that cause lung and other infections in hospitals. But what they did not know in 1918 was that the sunlight can also synthesize Vitamin D, low levels of which are linked to respiratory infections and susceptibility to influenza. Unfortunately open-air treatment had been replaced by antibiotic therapy before scientists were able to discover and confirm sunlight’s natural healing power. In this title, Andreas Moritz provided scientific evidence that sunlight is essential for good health, and that a lack of sun exposure can be held responsible for many of today’s ailments. Sunlight is a nutrient, a medicine, a remedy, all at once. It is not some bottled compound you can find at a drug store alone. It is naturally available to everyone. The dosage is under your control and your body easily tells you when you have had just about the right amount of it. Unfortunately, even though sunlight is readily available all through the day, many people fail to profit from it. Read this book to learn how you can harness sunlight, nature’s most potent and curative powers, for maintaining good health.
