Pure Air, Sunlight, Abstemiousness, Rest, Exercise, Diet, Water, Trust in Divine Power these are the true remedies. (Ministry of Healing pg127)

How beautiful and enlivening is the sunlight! How it gladdens the eyes and stimulates the powers of all living creatures as it dawns upon the earth in its morning freshness! “It is the very life of nature, without which everything material would fade and parish.”

The day is thine; the night is thine; thou hast prepared the light and the sun. Psalm 74:16

Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun. Ecclesiastes 11:7.

And God said, let there be light: and there was light.

And God made two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. Genesis 1:3, 16

Benefits Of The Sun

Sunlight is one of nature’s most healing agents which gives life and strength to the emaciated.

The sun is best known for providing vitamin D, but is it a vitamin? If not, what is it?

It is a hormone.

There is a receptor for vitamin D in every cell in the human body, from your brain to your bones.

When the sun hits the skin, it converts cholesterol under the skin into a prehormone.

Pre-vitamin D is carried to the liver and undergoes a process of hydrolyzation from the liver, then it goes to the kidney which activates it into a substance to form the active vitamin D, which is 1-25.

Dihydroxy vitamin D

Where one has liver problems or kidney failure, vitamin D cannot be produced in the body.

Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that stimulates the Vitamin D receptors that are in the nucleus of cells that regulate what we know to be at least 2000 human genes in a wide variety of tissues all of which help to maintain normal body physiology.
