Full spectrum light:
FULL SPECTRUM LIGHT:
Energy and Health Builder
by Joseph G. Hattersley
America has a phobia about ultraviolet (UV) light. In the name of science, unwise practices are being urged on us. The resulting sickness and misbehavior will mystify yet enrich physicians, psychiatrists, dentists and criminal specialists, as well as pharmaceutical drug companies.
UV intensity will soon be forecast in population centers daily. And the EPA suggests when outdoors, we "protect ourselves against ultraviolet light whenever we can see our shadow". So we peer through sunglasses, hide behind stylish dark car windows, slather our skin with sunscreen for even brief exposure.
The phobia arose after investigators anesthetized animals, propped their eyes open and shined intense UV light into them. There was retinal damage. And excessive exposure to one kind of ultraviolet (shorter-wave, germicidal UV-C) can damage tissue. It is present increasingly in sunlight with the thinning of the protective ozone layer in tanning salons and halogen lamps. [1]
Yet the trace amounts of UV radiation in natural daylight are required for both physical and mental health, muscle strength, civilized behavior, energy and learning. Starting from a high school hobby of time-lapse photography, John N. Ott, Sc.D.Hon., became one of the world's leading photobiologists. Now in his mid-80's, he is still active. Among many publications, Dr. Ott's latest book is Light, Radiation and You: How to Stay Healthy. (Greenwich, CT: Devin-Adair Publishers, 1990.)
