For thousands of years, the sun was revered for giving life and maintaining health. It was widely used for its therapeutic value for a variety of diseases. Today, the sun is considered enemy number one. We hide from the sun for fear of skin cancer and premature aging. We cover our bodies with sun-screen to protect us from the sun’s rays. Can the sun really be this bad for us? Healthy Sun takes us through the undeniable facts about the sun, using peer-reviewed research and the latest science. Here we also find the history of ancient sun therapies combined with the science of solar radiation and solar storms. We also discover the latest medical research on skin cancer, and the newest information on maintaining sufficient vitamin D, and the evidence showing supplemented vitamin D might not be as therapeutic as some have promoted. Healthy Sun goes deeper, revealing some of the sun’s less known effects, including biomagnetism, light, color and rhythm. The groundbreaking information contained in Healthy Sun will undoubtedly change the way we think and feel about the sun.
