Vitamin D & Sun
Multivitamins typically contain only small amounts of D-2 and include vitamin A, which offsets many of D's benefits. As a result, pills might not raise vitamin D levels much at all. But too much of the pill variety can cause a dangerous buildup of calcium in the body. The government says 2,000 IUs is the upper daily limit for anyone over a year old.
"I am advocating common sense," not prolonged sunbathing or tanning salons, Holick said. "The problem has been that the American Academy of Dermatology has been unchallenged for 20 years," he says. "They have brainwashed the public at every level."
Some wonder if vitamin D may turn out to be like another vitamin, folate. High intake of it was once thought to be important mostly for pregnant women, to prevent birth defects. However, since food makers began adding extra folate to flour in 1998, heart disease, stroke, blood pressure, colon cancer and osteoporosis have all fallen, suggesting the general public may have been folate-deficient after all.
Sunlight Lowers Prostate Cancer Risk
Spending lots of time in the sun seems to increase a man's vitamin D levels and lower his risk for prostate cancer, a new study finds. The findings appear in the June 15 issue of the journal Cancer Research. Researchers from three cancer centers compared 450 men with advanced prostate cancer with a control group of 455 men without the disease.
They found that the men with high sun exposure were at half the prostate cancer risk of men with low sun exposure. The risk of prostate cancer was as much as 65 percent lower in men with certain gene variants plus high sun exposure. "We believe that sunlight helps to reduce the risk of prostate cancer because the body manufactures the active form of vitamin D from exposure to sunlight," research team leader Esther John, of the Northern California Cancer Center, said in a prepared statement.
According to previous research, the prostate uses vitamin D to promote the normal growth of prostate cells and to impede the invasiveness and spread of prostate cancer cells to other areas of the body, the researchers said.

Healing Power of Sun -2
Having understood that Sun is the source of all cosmic phenomenon as well as our body, Sun is worshipped everyday in India. It is a wrong belief that Indians worship sun or natural forces because of the fear of it. The tradition of Vedic worship is not based on fear but on expressing gratitude. Vedic masters have understood that Sun light like Consciousness is behind all actions on Earth. So Sun is always worshiped as the source of intellect.
Sun worship is a recognition that we manifest Sun's energy in our body as actions. The energy for all actions is driven by Sun's energy. Since our body cannot directly use Sun's energy we get that through Food. Food is nothing but Sun's energy.
Sun's energy is now understood by modern scientists that it has effect on even on hormones. They now understand that it has healing properties and can prevent diseases. Here will give give just a few such modern information which will tell us how ancient Rishi's understood this truth and passed on to us in the form of rituals to be done everyday for a healthy life.
Sun-light therapy
Modern research is only recent years find out that sunlight is good for health. Till then they advocated that sunlight is dangerous and it causes cancer. Now the research results reverse is true and they validate the ancient wisdom of Sun worship. applying sesame oil on the body and standing is sun is good for kids to grow strong bones and so does for adults. All these osteoporosis and bone problems come by less exposure to sun light. women have more bone problems than men because they have cosmetic fear of getting dark complexion. 5 to 10minutes a day in sunlight is not only good for bones but health as in general.
Scientists Say Sunshine May Prevent Cancer
Scientists are excited about a vitamin again. This news will challenge one of medicine's most fundamental beliefs that people need to coat themselves with sunscreen whenever they're in the sun. Sunscreens actually contribute to far more cancer deaths than it prevents, some researchers think. In the last three months alone, four separate studies found it helped protect against lymphoma and cancers of the prostate, lung and, ironically, the skin. The strongest evidence is for colon cancer.
Many people aren't getting enough vitamin D. It's hard to do from food and fortified milk alone, and supplements are problematic. But many scientists believe that "safe sun" — 15 minutes or so a few times a week without sunscreen — is not only possible but helpful to health. Supplements contain the nutrient, but most use an old form — D-2 — that is far less potent than the more desirable D-3.

How Fire Therapy Works?
Sun the cause of all activities on Earth
All the credit goes to sun-light, without which none of these action would take place. But the beauty is that sun is not concerned of these activities. It just shines light thousands of miles away and here on earth these activities automatically is driven in the presence of its light. We have to keep this in mind when we discuss later topics.
Oxygen is re-cycled between plants and human body (other beings also)
The sun’s energy is trapped with an electron that is pulled out of water. This energized electron then combines with carbon-dioxide to form glucose (food). In this process, the oxygen of the water molecule is released of oxygen.
The sun’s energy that plants trapped in the form of food is released when our body reactions pull out the Electron. This electron is then accepted by the oxygen and forms water. The food is converted back to carbon-dioxide
At this junction it is very good to understand how plants and us are interconnected through Sun as shown in the figure below.

Healing Power of the Sun
Heat and Healing Effect:
Heat drives all cosmic phenomenon as well as the physiological processes in the body. In this universe there are two types of reactions - endothermic and exothermic reactions. In living beings, all the processes are driven by the interplay of enzymes which involve either absorption or release of heat energy. The heat released during enzymatic reactions is needed to keep the body at a particular temperature that contributes to the optimal performance of all chemical reactions in the body.
The significance of the heat given out is still not completely understood scientifically. But ancient masters have understood and had advocated a lifestyle to derive heat by all the cells of the body. This heat has significant healing properties, because it connects all the cells.
Sun, the Power-House:
All the heat that we experience in our body and in nature comes from the burning energy of the Sun. Sun is the giver, the most benevolent in nature. Hence, the Sun is given prominence in India. It is good to do salutations to the Sun every morning to get intellectual strength and power for physical health. Hence the color of the Sun's rays is used as the dress code (the color of flame - saffron color) of enlightened people who are the symbols of highest intellect and wisdom.
Sun and Plants:
It is interesting to know at this point that plants synthesize glucose from water and carbon-dioxide in the presence of sunlight. This glucose then undergoes modifications to form carbohydrates, proteins and fats. In the presence of sunlight, an electron gets excited and this excited electron is what gets trapped in hydrogen atoms; which then combines with carbon-dioxide to form glucose. The plant molecule of chlorophyll that lost the electron fills this hole by breaking a water molecule and taking the electron. In this process the oxygen from the water is released as oxygen which then we use for our respiration. This is how plants release oxygen. This is also why we must grow more plants and trees to supply us oxygen to breathe. This also helps us to understand the importance of water because ultimately it is the water and energy of the sun that drives the food production in plants.
