Another brilliant article, thanks Jess. We human beings in our arrogance have thought we can manufacture their own environments complete with artificial air, light and radiation sources: to our own detriment: we are made of the dust and life - the life that created the original light- was breathed into us . Our bodies obey these original cosmic laws, and we can only truly live in life and health if we live connected to this Creation out of which we were formed.
This is full on truth, Jessica! I have stayed this course most of my life. What concerns me is the weather warfarers who can create cloud systems to block out the natural sunlight. I have noticed many more cloudy days rather then clear ones, when I walk. I read an article back in the early 70's about sunlight activating our gland system through the eyes. And even though I wear glasses, now, for reading mainly, I make it a point to remove them when walking or outside in yard, etc. This article confirms what I understand through experience. Thank you gal!
Good point, almost all (clear) glasses now have uv blockers built in. You can find ones that don't but they aren't common. Sunglasses even worse as they block the signals to the eyes. Windows also block uv.
Jess... Excellent post. We are literally creatures of light. One quibble with the post is that early morning AND late afternoon into evening actually are red shifted (that is toward red and near-infrared) while high noon is blue shifted. The sun light must penetrate more of our atmosphere in early AM as it is reaching us at an "angle" (same occurs as the sun sets) and the longer red wave lengths penetrate further than the shorter blue lamdas. Noon, with the sun directly overhead, delivers sometimes dangerous levels of UV irradiation depending on elevation and, I suppose, ozone holes and the "non-existent" chem-trailing...
Thanks for what you do!
Addendum: There is some physiologic rationale to the Hindu tradition of Surya worship - beginning the day with looking at the rising sun, etc.
🖥️ Comprehensive, thank you. Bluetooth with the eyes is concerning as well. Computer users should perhaps consider changing their wireless keyboard and wireless mouse/trackpad to wired, and then turn off Bluetooth. The University of Essex has concerns about NIH Bluetooth with the retina and cornea (scrolling down to ‘Harmful effects’ on the page): https://www.essex.ac.uk/staff/working-with-physical-agents/non-ionising-radiation-safety
Look into the healing, brain-resetting, protective qualities of magnetite.
Magnetite exists in our brains and major organs. Also, see magnet energy healing which locks into the magnetite in our bodies. It's pretty freaky deaky cool.
I also use shungite water to keep my body healthy and for my cats too. They prefer rainbow shungite from Colombia (picky lil' stinkers but I trust their aim).
Also, do milk kefir for the 'gut brain'...remarkable stuff...a kazillion more itsy bitsy healthy microbes than what is found in yogurt. Feed your scobies whole milk or even better half-n-half...kefir loves full fat milk and thrives in it.
In 2009 Stefano and Kream reviewed 164 studies of the complexation of nitric oxide by morphine. Their conclusion: if eukaryotes contained no morphine, nitric oxide would be useless as a biological signaling agent because left free in blood plasma, lymph, cytoplasm or sap it reacts rapidly H2O to form HNO2 and with O2 to make HNO3. The entire vast literature on medical uses of NO depend entirely on the continuous presence of morphine in living things. So it is not surprising that circadian rhythms are morphine-related. Stefano and Kream's other seminal paper, elucidating the mechanism by which morphine is made, establish that the staring material is the amino acid tyrosine, which is first converted to dopamine and then to morphine. Meijer et al at Leyden then demonstrated that the driving force behind biological clocks is that metabolized tyrosine becomes dopamine, accumulating toward daybreak and stimulating wakefulness. As the day wears on, dopamine converts to morphine, peaking just past sundown and inducing sleep.
Jet lag in humans thus has a chemical explanation: When we shift our waking hours our chemical clock does not immediately adapt. It continues waking us up and inviting us back to bed on our accustomed time, not the time on our alarm clocks, and shifts somewhat grudgingly.
So a subject worth considering in connection with sun-induced wakefulness and of course, skin cancer, is that the intermediate NO2 takes on a brown color and likely reverts back to NO by photolysis. So in the early morn when our morphine level is low and some of our NO may not complex quickly, the longwave radiation that prevails near sunrise likely prevents loss of NO.
If melanin production gets under way, our skin resists radiation damage as the sunlight brightens and more UV comes through. If we skip that step we likely get more damage from midday levels of UV.
Excellent thanks for Sharing Jessica i worked shifts for 42 years and had a big interest in Circadian clocks
and it's functions especially light exposure one the first Books i read was Body Time then followed up on space and aviation medicine at the medical library and anything i could research about it this was a big help
keeping to strict sleep wake cycles Melatonin. Trytophan .
And healthy lifestyle and being out in Nature as much as possible
I haven’t watched the video yet, butI have watched others. Dr. Kruse is on FB and posts a lot there. Honestly for the average person like me a lot of this is over my head.And the lifestyle he recommends is just not possible for a lot of us. I have adult kids I’m still having to care for a long with my own health issues and I work part time. I have one son who is failing to launch and just discovered is on theAutism Spectrum. My other son struggles with bipolar 1 and has delusional and psychosis episodes. My husband runs my family’s business all on his own. My husband and I are in our mid 60’s and our time is not our own. All the many recommendations for living a healthy lifestyle is a lot and time consuming. I don’t know how people with complicated lives can do all the necessary healthy habits that the many health experts recommend. And for me when I am out in the sun without protection my face, chest, and ankles burn very fast so Idont know how my skin can withstand a lot of sun exposure as much as I would like to have it. Dr. Kruse also recommends being covered completely if you work indoor. Really?? So long sleeves, turtle neck and face mask along with glasses? That’s the only way to fully be covered in front of a screen. I don’t think so. I don’t think that people are willing to go to that extreme & are going to make themselves uncomfortable. Seems there is no escaping the evils of this modern world.
There is a connection between consuming seed oils and sunburns. Makes your skin more susceptible. Been reading about this in Dr. Mercola's book "Cellular Health ". Its a long, slow journey to undo the harm of our modern lifestyle.
Regarding sun exposure. 1) You have to work your way up day by day, developing a solar "callous". I am very white skinned Norwegian and do fine with a lot of sun this way. 2) Don't wear sunglasses. This makes a big difference as sunglasses block the signals that tell your body to make melanin to protect you from the sun. That said as far as I can tell the sun still causes a certain amount of aging (wrinkles) so many people following a circadian biology lifestyle put sunscreen on their face.
As for indoors, Jack can be extreme. If you work on your computer all day then what he is suggesting is probably the best idea. But you will get much of the benefit from avoiding the blue in your eyes by wearing good blue blocking glasses in the evening.
I hear you! I don't have dependent children but for some yrs had several relatives I helped care for. Unless they can make longer days, time is really hard to come by. Do this, do that, eat this not that, but only at certain times and don't combine... if the list gets any longer there will be no time left to live. Altho I like reading all the research and new ideas, I'm beginning to purge and simplify what I do read and incorporate in my health regime. At this stage of life, the less non necessary things to maintain, the more time for just enjoying the roses. Standing on one foot while brushing teeth with non dominant hand and trying to memorize something is getting ridiculous... but if you don't combine this stuff you'd never be able to do it all. I guess we can thank industrialization for our health woes because it took a lot of the natural body usage away, but I do not want to give up my washing machine, warm house or hot water. For your sun issue you can buy lights that give you full spectrum lighting like the sun. People with SAD use them.
Thank you Jessica, Fascinating.. I woke up this morning feeling I should write a piece on the yogic practice of Pratyahara [ 5th of the 8 aspects of Ashtanga Yoga ] and here you have created a deep scientific explanation of it's process and importance.. Maintaining Brain Body Homeostasis is no small feat in todays increasingly unnatural world.. Yet it can be done..
Your very insightful contributions are deeply appreciated as are you.. you Unacceptable One!
He was a proponent of ice baths ten years or so ago, making odd youtube videos of immersing himself. In the hospital, his white coat had DVM, MD , Neurosurgery over the breast pocket.

You are crushing it these days! Daylight is so essential and surfing is the very best way to get it. Wave on!

They cloud seeded days and also the night before these last terrible storms.
I keep sending these seeding reports to my congressmen.
Waiting on my insurance now to call me back, hail was as big as golf balls.
Put holes in houses in the siding and brick which has never happen here.
Lucky no deaths here but 36 across other States.
These chemicals they use make hail.

Super. A couple days ago I clicked on to Dr. Kruse. but his speaking was overlaid with muzak. I am eager to hear him and to read your article.
