Heliotherapy

This article was first published in New Dawn Magazine, Special Issue Vol.10 No.5, [October 2016] the theme of which was "How To Escape the Sickness Industry"
I will prefix this article with a paragraph quoted from Marcus Julian Felicetti[1]
“Atapa Snana is the yogic phrase for the healing science of Sun bathing. We live in a modern world that is bombarded with paranoid messages about how dangerous the Sun is. We should remember that the ancient yogis and many other cultures knew how to use the Sun to heal all kinds of illnesses, and bring about radiant health. In the West we also have a history of using Sunlight therapy that dates back to the ancient Greeks. It was called heliosis. Today, the name for Sunlight therapy is heliotherapy. We evolved as a human race … under the warmth and love of the Sun.”
It is not just the frequencies and rhythms of the Sun that affect us biologically. The radiations that it emits include not only the solar winds, but the Sunlight we take for granted. Solar Ultra-Violet rays provide us with the best natural source of vitamin D, which is absorbed through our skin by a process called dermal synthesis, and then activated in a second step known as hydroxylation in the liver and kidneys. This enhances our absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate, and zinc. It is essential for our bone health and it appears that calcium does not benefit us much without vitamin D. When I was recovering from multiple bone fractures in the Royal Brisbane Hospital in 1995, the nurses would often wheel us orthopaedic patients out onto what they called their ‘Sun verandah’ when conditions were bright, to increase our intake of Sunlight.

Sunbathing
Even the simple act of sunbathing causes the secretion of the ‘feel good’ hormones serotonin, beta-endorphins, and dopamine although, as we have noted earlier, this should only be done for short periods and with due regard to the risks of skin damage.
UV rays are considered by many to be the bogeymen of the light spectrum, mainly due to their association with cancerous cell mutations, when over-exposure to the Sun occurs. People also screen them out by wearing UV-rated sunglasses. Personally, I never wear sunglasses. They block light from getting into the eyes, which affects the ability of the optical nerve that runs to the hypothalamus to adjust the skin’s resistance to the Sun. That resistance is based on how much light is taken in by your eyes. It may sound anomalous, but UV radiation is used to treat some skin conditions, such as acne. It is also used to sterilise medical equipment because it can kill harmful bacteria.
Ultra-Violet is just one frequency of light. There is also infrared, which is actually heat, plus the spectrum visible to the human eye – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. All these rays are just different wavelengths of the electromagnetic scale, which includes cosmic rays, gamma rays, x-rays and microwaves. Even radio waves are part of the EM range, just beyond the 900nm frequency, so sight and sound are connected. (Nm means nanometre, which is a billionth of a metre). A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nm. Birds and bees can see UV light, and it is thought that common goldfish can see infrared as well.
Each colour has its own unique properties connected with health and volumes have been published on colour therapies. I will briefly summarise them in these categories:
Red connects us to the earth and our physical body, bringing vitality.
Orange governs our outlook on life and is an emotional stimulant.
Yellow is related to our senses, our mental self and our understanding.
Green controls our nervous and muscular energies, especially those of the heart.
Blue is pacifying and relaxing, connected to our speech and communication.
Indigo strengthens intuition, understanding, aids visualisation, links to the subconscious.
Violet enhances inspiration and creativity, re-joining us to the spiritual self.
In general, Sunlight has a number of beneficial effects on the human body that are observable and it is known to kill bad bacteria. At the time of writing this, in early 2016, the threat of ‘superbugs’ in the USA that are resistant to antibiotics is a big news story, and this is a concern that is not about to go away. All forms of light can be harnessed and used therapeutically. As far back as 1903, Scandinavian Niels Finsen was awarded the Nobel Prize in ‘Physiology or Medicine’, according to the official wording, "in recognition of his contribution to the treatment of diseases, especially lupus vulgaris, with concentrated light radiation, whereby he has opened a new avenue for medical science"[2]. Since that time, the family of ionizing radiations has become increasingly important in oncology treatments.
Sunlight, combined with the intake of oxygen and plenty of clean fresh drinking water, helps build the immune system. Exposure to the Sun increases oxygen content in human blood and enhances the body’s capacity to deliver that oxygen to the tissues. A lot of people I meet seem to be dehydrated without realising it. Drinking a couple of litres of either fresh, filtered or spring water each day keeps you hydrated – and this can help protect you from the negative aspect of being in the Sun - your skin is more likely to burn if you are dehydrated.
The rays of the Sun are also claimed to lower blood pressure, regulate blood sugar and reduce cholesterol[3]. What it does is convert cholesterol into vitamin D, and in the process it produces steroids and the sex hormones we need for reproduction – so D is as much a hormone as a vitamin. It turns out that vitamin D-rich foods are also rich in cholesterol, so it is important to get some Sun to activate the conversion. In the absence of Sunlight, the opposite happens - substances can convert into cholesterol instead.
When The Sun’s Light Is Blue
When the blue light of the Sun is captured and concentrated in particular ways, it stands apart from the rest of the spectrum. It is used medically as an antibacterial, therapeutically as a stress reliever and nutritionally to energise water drinks. Botanically, blue stimulates the greatest photosynthetic rate in plants, because it is a highly absorbent colour with a short wavelength. Additionally, it is said to be the colour that governs the 28-day rhythmic cycle.
The noted mystic and author, Manly P. Hall (1901-1990) wrote, “According to esoteric philosophy, blue is the true and sacred colour of the Sun. The apparent orange-yellow shade of this orb is the result of its rays being immersed in the substances of the illusionary world[4].” He adds that this is why certain gods in India are depicted with blue skin. I would think that if the Sun was blue in a material sense, it would have been reported by astronauts by now. However I believe that Hall was referring to “The spiritual Sun in the solar system, which the mystic could see as well at midnight as at high noon, the material Earth being powerless to obstruct the rays of this Divine orb[5].” He certainly seems to have been aware of the exceptional energies of the Sun’s blue rays.
A ‘craze’ in recent years has been the filtering of the Sun’s rays in blue glass bottles. The following article appeared in the online publication of the Daily Mail on 31 December 2014, as an inset with the heading: What Is Blue Solar Water?[6]
“Blue Solar Water is supposed to support the neck, vocal cords, teeth, gums and ears, among other areas. It is also thought that Blue Solar Water helps creative expression and will power.
It can be made at home using any blue colour glass bottle (do not use plastic).
Spring water is placed in the blue bottle and left is direct sunlight for one to 12 hours. 'The longer the bottle is exposed to sunlight, the more potent the elixir,' it was suggested on Mindfulenergywork.com. According to the site, the colour blue is important because it is the hue of the fifth Chakra, also known as the throat Chakra. It is believed that this area is vital because it is the route from the crown and brow Chakras to the heart Chakra.
Blue is soothing and calming, perfect for relaxation, sleep, and regeneration. Blue decreases blood pressure and heart rate, dissolves nervousness and stress. It is useful in the treatment of tension and anxiety especially in the form of headaches and sleep disorders. Blue is also a highly effective colour for meditation, communication, spiritual growth and high mental qualities.” [Note: Other sources recommend one to one and a half hours in the Sunlight, so the twelve hours mentioned in this article could either be a typo, or an overestimate.]
Of course, other coloured bottles have been used to filter the Sun’s rays as well, with claims of the following various health benefits to be accrued: Red water has a lot of iron in it and helps in sluggish stomach conditions - Red also helps the skin, but should be alternated with blue or purple at least twice a week; Orange water is not recommended as it is a strong laxative - Blue and amber water will help in relieving constipation; Amber water helps to make hair lighter coloured, perks up sluggish skin, relieves dandruff and baldness, aids with colds and sinus troubles; Purple water eases irritations; Green water is helpful in nervous conditions, although blue water is equally beneficial for this.[7]
Blue rays themselves are used in light therapy to treat back pain, stomach ulcers, gum disease and acne. Researchers at Heidelberg University in Germany are using blue light therapy to treat back pain in a trial of a patch-like device containing LEDs. The theory is that the blue light stimulates the production of nitric oxide, a natural compound with pain killing and anti-inflammatory effects[8].
Blue light is also being increasingly used as an antibacterial treatment. At Massachusetts General Hospital, doctors have found that shining blue light into the stomachs of patients with Helicobacter pylori (a bacterium linked to ulcers) reduces the bacterium by up to 99 per cent. It is thought blue light kills the bacterium cells without harming healthy tissue[9].
Meanwhile, a Japanese study found blue light was significantly more effective than other colours at zapping bacteria involved in gum disease[10].
Blue light therapy is also effective for acne. Research at the University of Missouri suggests improvement can be seen within a week, and after two months, more than 90 per cent of patients had visible improvements. “It can be used to treat patients who are unable to tolerate conventional acne treatments,” says the faculty’s Dr Shergill[11].
Sunlight and Eyesight
In May 2016 Australian ABC television aired an episode of the science program Catalyst, which demonstrated through tests that getting bright Sunlight outdoors can prevent short sightedness or myopia, and may even slow the progression of existing cases[12]. There are a number of factors in being outside, as opposed to getting bright artificial indoor light, that could offer a protective effect. There's UV radiation, vitamin D from sunlight, and even just the simple opportunity to stare into the distance. With the Sun, it's the brightness of the light that makes all the difference. Any time spent outdoors is beneficial - whether you are being physically active or not active is irrelevant in terms of providing the protective effect, according to the tests.
The reason bright light helps is due to the way our eyes adjust to day and night. As mentioned earlier, our vision is received via receptors called cones and rods at the back of our retinas. When you go out at night, you go to what's referred to as your rod vision, your black and white, grainy scale vision. This allows the eye to take as much light as possible and generates an image out of it, but by doing so you lose that fine detail. During the day, cone cells in our eyes give us fine detail, colour and high definition images. To switch from our rod cells to our cone cells requires a neurotransmitter called retinal dopamine, the release of which is triggered by light. During the day when you go out into the Sunlight, what happens is that dopamine levels go up, turning off the rod pathway so that the dopamine system stops the signal being diffused anymore and allows very fine tuning of the system, and that's what allows us to see fine detail. It's this release of dopamine that appears to be one of the key signals to stop eyes from elongating.
What is this elongation all about? As you get older, your eyeball grows longer and your focus gets shorter. But these days it's a phenomenon happening to more and more children as well. Their eyeballs grow abnormally into an elongated shape causing light rays from the distance to focus in front of the retina rather than on it, resulting in a blurred image. When you look at faraway objects, the lenses of your eyes bend parallel rays of light at an angle so that a sharp image is created on the back of your eye. To look at near objects, the internal lens needs to get rounder to bend the rays at a more acute angle. As you get older, your lens loses flexibility and its ability to curve more. That's why reading gets harder and harder. But when you're myopic, it's the distance that becomes blurry.
Although a well-lit room might feel nice and bright, the reality is that it's very dim compared to daylight. A well-lit classroom is usually found to be between around 500 to 1,000 lux, nowhere near bright enough to trigger the amount of dopamine needed. What the eye needs is three hours a day at 40,000 lux. 40,000 lux in Australia would be the equivalent of either a winter's day or a cloudy day. In Europe, that can actually be the intensity you see even in a summer's day.
In China, a three-year trial was carried out, where forty minutes were added to the school day so the students could be out in bright Sunlight, resulting in a twenty five percent reduction in new cases of myopia. At another trial in Taiwan they had eighty minutes a day and they got fifty percent protection.
The Catalyst program concluded that being afraid of Sun damage is no reason not to give your children outdoor exposure. Even with the standard protection (hats, sunglasses etc.) they'll still be getting enough light into their eyes because of the huge difference between indoor and outdoor lighting. Just another way that the Sun meets our physical needs, when we let it in.
