As a study from the University of Maine explains, teenage girls are not getting enough vitamin D. As a result, they are at risk for disorders and diseases caused by this nutritional deficiency, including osteoporosis and possibly even cancer and high blood pressure. The cause? Lack of sunlight.

Vitamin D is primarily produced by your skin when exposed to sunlight, and with so many people in the United States being brainwashed into thinking that the sun is bad for your help, few people get enough sunshine these days, especially in northern geographic regions like the State of Maine. Vitamin D deficiency is also quite common in men, especially in men with darker skin color because their skin pigmentation naturally blocks much of the sunlight that would normally get through and help initiate the creation of a vitamin D.

It's time that Western medicine started taking vibrational medicine and light therapy more seriously. We need to educate the public to get some sunshine on a daily basis. We need to understand that light, especially full spectrum light, offers phenomenal healing properties. NASA is conducting experiments with infrared light that are demonstrating extremely rapid healing of flesh wounds with no more than 60 seconds of treatment with infrared LED light each day -- a treatment known as phototherapy. People with depression or Seasonal Affective Disorder are experiencing tremendous benefits from full spectrum lighting.

Simultaneously, people are suffering a wide variety of mental and physical disorders from constant exposure to fluorescent lighting. I believe that in the years ahead, more research will show strong links between a person's health and the quality of light they receive on a daily basis. Many of the disorders we now treat with prescription drugs can be easily prevented or even reversed simply by daily exposure to the healing light of the sun.
