The UV Advantage: The Medical Breakthrough that Shows How to Harness the Power of the Sun for Your Health – Dr Michael Holick

Quote:

Sunshine is good for you! While too much sun causes wrinkles and raises other health concerns, a lack of sun exposure, our primary source of vitamin D can cause serious health problems, such as osteoporosis, certain cancers, and diabetes. Dr Holick, the discoverer of the active form of vitamin D, has pulled together an impressive body of evidence in support that no one should be - as he puts it - a "sunphobe", nor, for that matter, a sun worshipper. His conclusion: relatively brief, but unfettered exposure to sunshine and its equivalent can help to ward off a host of debilitating and sometimes deadly diseases, including osteoporosis, cancers of the colon, prostate and breast, hypertension, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and depression. Dr. Holick's arguments that controlled exposure to sunshine can have powerful health benefits stems from decades of research into the myriad roles played by vitamin D in the body. The main source of this essential nutrient is neither foods nor supplements. It is sunshine. "The UV Advantage" is the only book that presents long-term impeccable research into the subject by a prominent and respected doctor.

The Healing Sun: Sunlight and Health in the 21st Century – Richard Hobday

Quote:

Explaining how and why we should get sunlight back into our lives - safely - this book shows how sunlight was used to prevent and cure diseases in the past, and how it can heal and help us in the future. Over the last 40 years, there has been a complete reversal in medical thinking on sunlight. Sunbathing is regarded by the experts to be a dangerous pastime which should be actively discouraged, yet little more than 50 years ago doctors in Europe and North America were using sunlight to treat potentially fatal diseases on a routine basis, and a number of hospitals were built specifically for sunlight treatment. The human race evolved under the sun and for thousands of years lived in close harmony with its heat and light. Many of us have lost this close contact with the sun and its healing powers.
