'Money makes their ignorant world go 'round'', very true. The trouble is that it's not an ignorant world on their side, at all. I am convinced that they know all too well what they are inflicting on us, however, the money and the profit factor outweighs the minuscule remnants of people's conscience who run Big Pharma and co. It's outrageous what we have to endure in the name of their profits. Something must be done, "things are falling apart, the centre cannot hold". We must make our voices loud enough to be heard that we will not be tossed around in their game as their ball.
I am a type II diabetic, and had a foot infection a couple of years ago. The doctors made an incision on the bottom of my foot and cleaned out the infected tissue ( what I like to call a "foot canal"). They left the deep incision open so it would mend from the inside out.
It was very slow to heal, as is typical for diabetics, and six weeks went by and it was slowly healing, but still a draining open wound. The doctor was convinced that I needed partial amputation of the foot. He even called and scheduled surgery for this.
I went home and decided to take things into my own hands. I put a chair in the back yard, removed the bandages from my foot, and let direct sunlight hit the bottom of my foot for an hour each, for two consecutive days. I also tried to catch some rays with other areas of skin, to boost my overall vitamin D levels, as well as do some whole body "blood sterilization".
Almost miraculously, the third day my wound had completely healed shut, and the drainage stopped!!! The doctor was taken back by this, and even admitted his assumption that it would not heal, was wrong. He was sure it was going to require amputating a toe and also removing a bone from my foot.
I had one somewhat unusual advantage in that I am very nutrition conscious, and was doing everything I could to boost my nutrition to fight the infection also. At least I didn't have malnutrition to contend with too, as many diabetics unknowingly do.
But I'm convinced the sunlight probably played havoc with any pathogens in the wound, and the increased vitamin D played a significant part in overcoming the infection. It is also my understanding that sunlight hitting capilaries in my skin, also "whacks" many bad organisms in my blood stream.
Years of reading Dr. Mercolas web site has helped me tremendously in staying pretty healthy even with my type II diabetes. I am so grateful to have this information available. Many thanks!
Hi Everyone, This is from Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Crusader. For years the sun has taken a battering in the media. Finally, the tide is turning and people are starting to realize that the sun is one of our biggest friends, not the enemy big business wants you to think it is. Enjoy the sun.
Be Active, Be Fit, Be Strong.

FIVE THINGS YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW TO DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE.
1. TAKE A WALK-get the heart pumping, the muscles moving, the oxygen flowing
2. BREAK A SWEAT-Eliminates toxins that accumulates in, under and over the skin. To break a sweat, see #1.
3. FLOSS YOUR TEETH- Accumulated food turns rancid and can seep into your bloodstream and eventually find its way to your heart.
4. SIT IN THE SUN-Many of us are vitamin D deficient and the best way to get vitamin D is through sitting in the sun for 15 minutes a day. Check your sunscreens, read the ingredients labels and decide for yourself if you want to put that on your skin.
5. DEEP BREATHING-An instant energizer that pushes oxygen throughout your entire body. Take a long, intense inhale through your nose and a long, slow exhale through your mouth. Repeat 10 times. Do this first thing in the morning and anytime your need an energy boost.
Good suggestions but you should also drinl 1 liter of pure water today to flush out toxins.
Hi Greco,
I have taught myself to breath through my nose all the time, just as we are supposed to do. Only humans breath through their mouths, this only fills part of our lungs and raises blood pressure and heart rate, all symptoms of stress.
Breathing through our nose using our stomach muscles also has the benefit of producing a six pack, rather than a beer gut. It takes time, but it is an easy and life long way of staying fit and relaxed.
Wishing you all much love and happiness,
