By popular demand... (well, not exactly "popular", but 2 out of 2 Metro
singles liked it...) I share with you a book-chapter called "Doctor
Sunshine". This greatly blessed and affected my life several years ago.
Now that summer's here, and now that we're having our first "official"
singles beach blast this Saturday (yeaaaa!!!), I wanted to pass this on to
you for whatever help it might be in improving your own health. I'll add a
few comments at the end, to help in applying these things to where we are
right now.

Hi Collin!
Here is that section about sunshine I was telling you about from the book on
fasting that I showed you recently. Hope you enjoy reading it.

P.S. I've discovered a whole lot of valuable information at their website,
www.bragg.com. Although I've been studying the book for some time, I only recently discovered their website. You might want to check it out yourself
sometime.
Doctor Sunshine
(Chapter 19, from The Miracle of Fasting, by Paul C. Bragg)
Doctor Sunshine's specialty is heliotherapy and his great prescription
is solar energy. Each tiny blade of grass, every vine, tree, bush, flower,
fruit and vegetable draws its life from solar energy. All living things on
earth depend on solar energy for their very existence. This earth would be
a barren, frigid place if it were not for the magic rays of the sun. The
sun gives us light and were it not for sunshine, there would be no you or
me. The earth would be in everlasting darkness.
Human beings were never meant to have pale skins, not even the fair
northern races. Man's skin should be lightly tanned by the sun and should
take on a darker pigment according to his original skin tone. It has been
found that even fair, red-headed people will tan. Pigmentation is a sign
that solar energy has been transformed into human energy. By enjoying the
early morning or late afternoon gentle sunshine man can gain more health,
vitality and happiness. The people who are indoors too long have
sallow-looking skin. This is why many women hide sun-starved skins with
makeup.
The person who is starved of the vital rays of the sun has a half-dead
look. He is actually dying for the want of solar energy! Weak, ailing and
anemic people are all sun-starved and, in my opinion, many people are sick
simply because they are starving for gentle sunshine.
The sunshine's gentle rays have powerful germicidal properties. As the
skin gathers these gentle rays, it stores up enormous amounts of this
germ-killing energy. The sun provides one of the finest remedies for the
nervous person who is filled with anxiety, worry and frustration.
Sunshine Brings Peace, Relaxation to Nerves
When nervous people lie in the sunshine, its soothing, gentle rays give
them what their nerves and body are crying out for: relaxation! Sunshine is
a health tonic and a Great Healer! As you bask in the warm sunshine,
millions of nerve endings absorb the solar energy and transform and store
them into more Vital Force for your nerves and body.
Perform this experiment to determine the value of sunshine in the matter
of life and death. Find a beautiful patch of lawn where the grass is like a
green carpet. Cover up a small space of that beautiful lawn with a small
piece of wood or metal. Day by day you will notice that the beautiful grass
that was so full of plant blood, or chlorophyll, will start to fade and turn
a sickly yellow. Then the tragedy happens. It withers and dies - death
from sun starvation! The same thing happens in your body without the life
giving rays of the sun. This also happens when you fail to eat an abundance
of sun-grown foods such as ripe, organic fruits and vegetables.
We must have the direct rays of the sun on our bodies and our diet must
contain 60% or more of food that has been ripened by the sun's rays. When
we eat fresh fruits and vegetables we absorb the blood of the plant - the
rich, nourishing chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the solar energy that the
plant has absorbed from the sun, the richest and most nourishing food you
can put into your body. "Chlorophyll is liquid sunshine." Green plants
alone possess the secret of how to capture this powerful solar energy and
pass it on to man and every other living creature.
When you put sunshine on the outside of your body and 60% to 70% raw
fruits and vegetables in your daily diet, you are going to glow with radiant
health! But these are powerful and must be taken in small doses at the
start, because your sun-starved body has to slowly get used to these
cleansing, solar-powered foods.
Gentle Sun Rays are Soothing and Best
When you take your first sunbath, start with short time periods until
you can condition your body to longer exposure. The best time for a
beginner to start taking gentle sunbaths is in the early morning sunshine.
Or you may sunbathe in the late afternoon gentle sunshine. Five to ten
minutes on the nude body is sufficient at first. Avoid the burning rays
between 11 am and 3 pm. The best cool rays of the sun are in the early
morning.
The same caution should be taken in eating sun ripened foods - the raw
fruits and vegetables. The average person who has been eating mainly cooked
foods will find that if great amounts of raw fruit and vegetables are
suddenly put into the body they can cause a reaction. It's wiser to add
more sun-grown foods to the diet gradually. Overdoses of solar energy, both
on the outside and the inside of the body, are not good. Regarding exposure
to the sun, it's quite necessary to use good judgment and always proceed
with caution.
At this point I must add a personal touch. At 16 years of age I had
been sentenced to death with deadly tuberculosis. The greatest doctors in
the United States declared me "Hopeless! Incurable!" By the Grace of God I
was led to Dr. August Rollier of Leysen, Switzerland, the greatest living
authority on Heliotherapy (Sun Cure). High in the Alps, Dr. Rollier exposed
my sick, wasted body to the healing rays of the sun and fed me an abundance
of sun-grown foods. Presto! A miracle happened! In 2 short years I was
transformed from a bed-ridden invalid to a strong, healthy, young man.
I am way over 85 years young and I am still a powerful and healthy man.
Through all of these long years I have kept the glorious light of the sun's
gentle rays on my body. I regained my health through the gentle healing of
"Doctor Healing Sunshine." He helped save my life and that is why I love
God's own precious sunshine.
I Love Being With Doctor Sunshine
Patricia and I love the great sunshine state and have a home in the
Santa Monica mountains so we can enjoy the mountain sunshine. We have a
modest home in the California Desert, where the sun shines 354 days a year,
and a cottage and our organic veggie garden and flowers in Santa Barbara
near our office, and a place in Hawaii at Diamond Head near our free
exercise class. We are great beach walkers and spend hours, in winter and
summer, on the sun drenched beaches of Hawaii, Florida, France, Australia
and New Zealand while on our Health Crusades. Seek the gentle sunshine and
health follows by leaps and bounds.
[end of chapter 19]
[a segment of sunshine-related information from chapter 29:]
I believe that man originated in the tropics, a natural paradise where
his entire body was nourished by the gentle, healing rays of the sun. We
know that the skin needs vitamin D, which is produced in response to
sunshine. We also know that the skin needs vitamin A. But today man's body
has become so degenerated, so filled with mucus, acid toxins, mineral and
vitamin deficiencies that he can't spend a great amount of time in the
sunshine. There are many people who develop all kinds of skin conditions
from exposure to the sun and then falsely put the blame on sunshine. The
sun pulls out the impurities below the skin - trying to purify you. Skin
cancers spring from toxic cells. [Emphases added...TC] This is all the more reason to do your
fasting/cleansing program!
[Still June 2006]
To Metro Life Church Singles: (from Tom Cook)
I'd like to tell a little of my own experience... I've been following this
and numerous other health principles for some years now. I grew up
easily sunburning, but now that I've spent several years changing my body
chemistry, I can tolerate a lot more of and benefit from *properly managed*
sunshine. I am blessed with a business that allows me to be outdoors the
1st half (8-noon roughly) of each weekday. I never use sunscreen during
work, but as of June, I'm now using an aloe vera lotion applied either
before or after exposure.
I started playing indoor volleyball about 10 years ago. A couple years
later I moved into beach volleyball. I was already learning and applying
these sunshine principles. The question was what to do about the fact that
I was going to be playing a long time; 4-5 hours on Sunday afternoons, at a
local park. I discovered that SPF 15 would totally block everything out for
me; I'd get no suntan at all. (This was a good sign my health was
improving.) So although I hated shopping (and still do), I ventured into
Target hoping to find a lighter sunscreen. I found SPF 8 and 12, and
debated long and hard about which to buy. I decided to be a bit bold and
risky and try 8. Turns out it worked perfectly! Gave me a nice tan with no
burning or at the most just a *little* pinkish. No burning or peeling all
summer long! Even when playing from 1-6pm! (Admittedly there was *some*
shade from trees, unlike at the beach.)
I later graduated to a very healthy formula of a 50/50 mix of raw organic
apple cider vinegar and olive oil. But I don't use it any more as I simply
don't like it (even though my body did). The last 2 years, I gotten by
almost exclusively with just aloe vera lotion (no sunscreen).
Because our beach trip will be putting us out there in the harshest stretch
of time (11am til whenever), I will use SPF 8 again. But on my feet I'll
use 15 as my work requires shoes all the time and my feet are white. So I
will be alright with 8 and 15. But most of you should not do this! (That
is, use SPF as low as 15.) I have been practicing this and other health
principles (diet, etc.) for years. If you're new at this and/or haven't had a chance
to build a good tan yet, *please* don't use less than SPF 30. Most of you are
probably going to use higher than that anyway, which is good.
Just one more thing... It's a really good thing for you to put the
sunscreen on *before* you leave the house to come to Metro. This has 2
benefits: 1) It allows proper metabolism into the skin before getting the
exposure; and 2) you can be more thorough in your coverage when relaxed in
front of a mirror than in the rush of getting it on once at the beach.
Don't forget eyelids and various edges such as hairlines or (for me) bald
spots (sheesh, my whole head is virtually one big bald spot). But if you
fail to apply before getting to beach, by all means, DO apply it there.
Better late than never!
Let's treat the temple of the Holy Spirit well. There's no need for any of
us to ever experience burning, peeling, and (sunburn) *pain* again. The
rest of our lives! An ounce of planning is worth a pound of cure (Prov.
2:11 paraphrased).
Please contact me if you have questions or comments, positive or negative.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Tom Cook
