&lt;p&gt;Does anyone know how much of the good stuff makes it thru glass? &amp;nbsp;If its just a matter of longer time being exposed, that would still be great.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After all, hothouses and nurseries seem tro do quite well witht the power of the sun thru glass..&lt;/p&gt;

Its ok in the summer it get hot and sunny from late Apr- Early Oct but from Late Oct till Early Apr the sun aint as strong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An ex-neighbour went to Fiji with her then husband - and tanned for the first and last time in her life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Attempts to tan in Australia only resulted in skin damage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Somewhere on this site is a link to comparative UV strength in different parts of the world - it seems we should temper our exposure accordingly. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am in Australia too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I believe that some of us here with some Celtic ancestry may lack some of the good pigmenting factors in our skin - and that the task of these goes beyond 'tanning'.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also that the damaging part of the sun's rays is more intense here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At one stage many years ago I was taking an OTC tablet called Silvasun, and whilst I did I gained a light tan, did not burn, and was more sunlight tolerant. I have not been able to find them since.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Full spectrum lights have been available for craft devotees for years, but are expensive. I understand they are named 'Daylights'.&lt;/p&gt;

That is caused by too much sun, right? I'm in the sun whenever i can be, and I also use a tanning salon every so often, and I'm starting to wrinkle a little by 28/. How do you know how much is too much? &lt;/p&gt;

D contribute to skin disease for some and protect another? &amp;nbsp;If you read over the comments on this one topic alone...there are extreme differences in opinion and outcomes. &amp;nbsp;Also, no one is able to answer my one question (above) concerning which type of Vit. D is more easily absorbed? &amp;nbsp;I'm beginning to think that all of these comments are not even worth the time to read! &amp;nbsp;I don't need added stress in my life! &amp;nbsp;I'm grateful for Dr. Mercola's knowledge and information. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Turn off all the cooling fans on the tanning bed so that you sweat. Sweating removes mercury and you get Vitamin D. In 15 minutes of sweating, your body will remove more mercury than 24 hours of liver function. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I blame this mostly on my MS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sunshine exhausts me - and increases the amount of splotchy pigmentation on my body.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have tried Cod Liver oil - yuck! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any other suggestions?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most of my amalgams have fallen out.&lt;/p&gt;

Tha's what fever blisters are, Herpes Simplex I if I remember correctly, not Simplex II. So in your case, the sun does exacerbate the condition. Hope this helps.&lt;/p&gt;
