Coming up on today's show.

We're spending so much time inside.

We have windows that block infrared light because we don't want to increase our cooling

cost.

We have replaced all of the lights in our homes with LED bulbs.

What Bob Fosbury calls this is the scurvy of the 21st century.

I know this sounds like wishful thinking, like you just need to get outside in the sun,

but yet what do we see on those British ships?

Drink this ration of lime juice. Your sailors, your colleagues will stop dying. It's that simple.

We have created an environment that is completely bereft of the same wavelength of light

that the sun is giving us the majority of, and it is also very beneficial for just about

every cell in our body.

I believe that incandescent bulbs are better than just narrow band LED red light or infrared light therapy.

LED lights are not as effective as diverse multi-wavelength light that we would see either from an incandescent bulb or from the sun itself.

Much better results versus just one particular color of red light. 50 years ago, you would easily

hear from the scientific community. The only real benefits for going outside in the sun is getting

your vitamin D. That's the only thing that we knew. The sun is way more than just vitamin D.

Dr. Schwelt, for somebody right now hasn't tuned into the importance of their light environment. Let's give them the 101 on why this

is something that is so critical and what it's doing to their health. Yeah, very good point. I think

the best way to start out

is to look at the ultimate source of light in our world, which is the sun. And the three

types of light that come from the sun and what they do to the body, because all three types of
