Recently, a friend who is experiencing cancer told me her practitioner shared with her that one of the most significant cures for cancer is available to us on a daily basis… at no charge!  That conversation occurred some time ago, and I am still kind of shaking my head and thinking, “Sunlight?  If it were a mainstream drug it would be on the cover of all major newspapers and magazines.  Why is this information kept under wraps?”

Sunlight as a Cancer Treatment

According to the multiple resources I was able to research, sunlight reduces the risk of many cancers by more than 50 percent and in creating Vitamin D in our bodies, offers natural healing and reversal of certain types of cancer.  Again, I have to question, “Why do we not hear more about this?”  For the most of my life I have stayed out of the sun, fearful of its harmful effects; now I find I may have inadvertently forsaken these preventative and healing properties – primarily because we have a medical community that elects to ignore a possible cure for many types of cancer and actually works hard to discredit it!

It is not so much that I have lost faith in conventional medicine, but I have always felt there is a personal responsibility in doing what is best for my body – which includes eating healthy (for the most part), exercising (which I have to admit is a tad sporadic), no smoking, very little drinking, and adopting attitudes about life’s events to remove undue stress.  But, I do have to question why… why must the buzz always be about a new “drug” that is formulated as a possible cure?  Why is there not more research into the things our Creator placed on this earth to heal ourselves naturally?

Let’s Stop Being Held Captive by the Medical Community

Are we to be held captive to a medical community that suffers an ego bruise when nature offers up a cure?  Or is it about the potential loss of future revenue generated from selling hopes, promises, and miracle cures that don’t require personal responsibility?  Wouldn’t it be an interesting turn of events to see sunlight promoted as a natural treatment for cancer next to a full page spread on chemotherapy – and other high-profit prescription drugs that they have to “disclose” can have serious negative side effects?

I am not totally skeptical about conventional medicine; I accept it is a for-profit industry and that there are many who are vested in healing, but this has me totally amazed… why are our doctors, or at the very least our educators, not teaching us something so basic – so foundational – in the name of nothing less than well care?  Or… have they taught us the merits of sunshine, and our abuse of it has camouflaged the benefits for the dangers?

What Role Must We Play in Revealing Medical Truths?

What can we do to put sunlight, in appropriate doses, at the top of the list for natural treatments and prevention strategies for cancer and diseases such as depression and osteoporosis?  I am but one person, impacted by the ravages of cancer.   What would it be like to open the minds of hundreds of millions of people the world over to save or improve lives through nothing more than a sensible exposure to nature’s golden sunlight?

Unfortunately, the trend I have seen in my research is that those who are courageous enough to take a stand for the powerful benefits of natural healing are discredited by critics… many of who have made up their minds that sunlight is more destructive than healthy, and don’t bother to question the validity of something they were taught – something which just may or may not be true.

Fortunately, because it is our personal responsibility to be in the know, and not just accept whatever we are told, there is no one to prevent us from taking advantage of the healthy benefits… no one can charge a royalty on the sensible amount we use, and in time, no one will be able to censor the truth about both the preventative and the healing properties of the Vitamin D found in sunlight.

Enter, The FDA

My twisted sense of humor has to look at a scenario where the FDA would say that any claims I make about sunlight automatically qualifies it as a drug, and in their infinite power, would try to outlaw its use, claiming the heath benefits to be unproven, and that millions of dollars in clinical drug trials must be completed before anyone is free to utilize it!

Just Shakin’ Up Your Thinkin’

Keep in mind… I am not telling you what to believe – I am only bringing something important to your attention… shaking up your thinking and encouraging you to do a bit of research on your own, or to come back to future blogs and see the “rest of the story”.  I plan to research the effects of sunshine (Vitamin D) on such things as cardiovascular health, depression, pregnancy, etc.  I want to know if there is a natural alternative to using medicines that mess with our biochemistry, or using pharmaceuticals to override natural human physiology. I also feel compelled to plant the seeds of curiosity and personal responsibility… and if there is veracity in the healing properties of the Vitamin D found in sensible doses of sunlight – I know you want to know!

Thank you for reading this “Chronicle” today… as you can see, I am passionate about it and will continue to be so.  I would love your comments…
