HOW DOES THE BODY BENEFITFROM EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT ?

Exposure to ultraviolet light on theskin transforms cholesterol intoVitamin D3.There are receptors to Vitamin D3 inevery tract and system of the humanbody.Vitamin D3 in these tracts and systemshave many known functions andprovides many benefits including butnot limited to reducing inflammation,degenerative diseases, autoimmunityand cancer.

Vitamin D 3 fromULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

6

How is it that exposure to sunlight effects biologic

rhythms?

When exposure to ultraviolet light occurs through theskin, cholesterol is transformed into Vitamin D3.Depending on the interpretation of the intensity,duration, shades and exposure to light that occur in thebrain, responses by Vitamin D3 are then expressed thatsystematically effect every organ, tissue and cell in thebody.These biologic responses are able to modulate in arhythmic fashion, depending on daily, monthly, seasonaland yearly changes that occur in our environment.

EFFECTS OF SUNLIGHT ON THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

17

How does Sunlight help the Endocrine System ?

Vitamin D3 is made available to the body by photosynthesisthrough the skin in humans and ingesting plant based foodsthat also have by photosynthesis absorbed Vitamin D3. Inthat Vitamin D3 (7-dehydrocholesterol) is a lipid solublevitamin, it serves as a very good source for makinghormones that can be sent throughout the mind and body.Depending on the biologic need, these hormones sendsignals from the brain through the blood stream to targetedsystems, organs, tissues, cells, molecules, atoms andsubatomic particles in response to the commands thatgovern the depths of the soul. Phillipians 4:19 Paul tells usthat “…my God shall supply all your need according to hisriches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

It has been shown that stomach and duodenal

ulcers as well as skin ulcers,

heal faster in the presence of sunlight.

21

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT FOOD ENTERS THROUGH THE EYES BEFORE WE EAT IT?

THIS IS TRUE BECAUSE WE HAVE RECEPTORS THAT PERCEIVE THE COLOR OF THE FOOD WE EAT.

Artificial colors and flavors block

the correct perception of what is made by design for our health and

wellbeing.

ULTRAVIOLET RAYS ON THE SKIN RESULTS IN THE ABSORPTION OF

VITAMIN D3. ONCE VITAMIN D3 IS ABSORBED,

IT IS TAKEN UP BY THE RECEPTORS IN THE BRONCHIAL

TUBES. THE EFFECT OF VITAMIN D3 ON THESE RECEPTORS RESULTS IN

OPENING OF THE AIRWAY.

35

EFFECTS OF SUNLIGHT ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

36

WHAT EFFECT DOES SUNLIGHT HAVE ON INFECTIONS?

Vitamin D3 from Ultraviolet Rays:•Removes poisons,•Kills bacteria, •Kills fungal infections, •Kills viruses and• Reduces colds in winter.•Increases the transport of Oxygen,• Purifies the Air, •Stimulates the production of red blood cells and •fortifies the immune system.

37

WHAT IS THE EFFECT ON OUR HEALTH WHEN WE HAVE TREES AND BUSHES GROWING

CLOSE TO OUR HOMES ?

Trees and bushes growing close to our homes do not

let sunlight in. This promotes darkness and

moisture where mold will grow.

It promotes mosquito growth and breeds diseases

of many types and forms.

38

We live in a fast paced society. With every passing generation,America is growing fatter. The fat that is being stored comes fromfast foods. Fast foods contain damaged fats. Hormones are madefrom the fats we eat. The accumulation of damaged fats promotesan increase in cancer where fats are stored and also wherehormones have effects on organs and systems.

Vitamin D3 plays an important role in

activating the immune system to

respond when damaged fats are

identified. 39

EFFECTS OF SUNLIGHT ON THE SKELETAL SYSTEM

40

WHAT EFFECT DOES THE SUN HAVE ON THE PREVENTION OF OSTEOPOROSIS ?

It has been seen that people that do

not get sunlight have deficiencies in

vitamin D3.

This effect results in osteoporosis and an

increased risk in fractures.

41

In what way is Vitamin D3 like amessenger knocking at your door?

Vitamin D3 is like a messenger thatknocks on every cell, tissue, organand system of your body.

Then when invited into each ofthese modules, it seeks thosemodules who have an ear to hearit’s voice to find what it’s needs are.

Then, according to Philippians 4:19,“my God will supply all of yourneeds according to his riches inglory.”

48

How does Vitamin D3 helpto supply all of our needs ?

Once the receptors of Vitamin D3 have beengiven the opportunity to knock on every cell,tissue, organ and system of your body and isinvited in to each of these modules,Then when invited into each of thesemodules, it seeks to find what the needs areand then expresses them by messenger DNAto the Father of Lights sitting on the throne ofGod.Then if it is according to the will of the Fatherof lights, an expression is made by the Son tosupply these needs by sending messengerDNA to the liver that instructs certainmodules to proliferate, differentiate andothers that perform apoptosis.

THE PLEDGE OF GOD TO MAINTAIN OUR BODIES HEALTHY:

The Creator of man has arranged the living machinery of our bodies. Every function is wonderfully and wisely made. And God pledged Himself to

keep this human machinery in healthful action if the human agent will obey His laws and

cooperate with God.COUNCILS ON DIET AND FOODS

It is estimated that most Americans get too little Sunlight. The question

then is how much is needed?

It is estimated that normalphysiology requires anintake of 4,000–12,000IU/day from sun exposurethat produces serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels of40 to 80 ng/mL that this isrequired for maintainingoptimal health.

Heaney RP, Holick MF. (2011). "Perspective: Why the IOM Recommendations for Vitamin D are Deficient". Journal of Bone and Mineral Research 26 (3): 455–7.

51

HOW MUCH VITAMIN D IS PRODUCED WHENWE LAY IN THE SUN AND TAN OUR SKIN?

One full body exposure to sunlight (enough time to just start to sunburn) produces approximately 10,000 UI (250mcg) of

Vitamin D3.10,000 IU is equivalent to

100 - 8 oz. glasses of milk fortified with

Vitamin D3.

52

Holick MF (March 1995). "Environmental factors that influence the cutaneousproduction of vitamin D" . The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 61 (3 Suppl): 638S–645S.

How often could one request a Vitamin D3 level and what is considered

an optimal level?

Some primary care physicians recommend having a blood level for 25-Hydroxy-vitamin

D yearly with their annual physical.

The optimal level ranges from 20-50 ng/ml. (Above 30 “are not consistently associated

with additional benefit” and above 50 may be cause for concern)

2011 Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium and Vitamin D, Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) ) 53

What is the highest average daily intake of Vitamin D3 that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health

effects for nearly all persons in the general population?

0–6 months of age: 1,000 IU6–12 months of age: 1,500 IU

1–3 years of age: 2,500 IU4–8 years of age: 3,000 IU

9–71+ years of age: 4,000 IUPregnant/lactating: 4,000 IU

For those who are shut in and cannot get out into the sunlight, what are two other

dietary sources of Vitamin D3?

Shiitake and Portabella Mushrooms as well as dark green spinach are

three viable sources of Vitamin D3.
