UVB kills viruses and allows the body to make Vitamin D

UNDISPUTED FACTS:

Exposure to UVB radiation from the sun allows the body to produce Vitamin D.
Vitamin D is essential to the body’s immune system’s ability to fight infections, including viruses. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3897598/
During the summer months, (northern hemisphere), due to the tilt of the earth towards the sun, the highest amount of available UVB radiation reaches the earth’s surface. This is because the higher the sun is overhead (noon), the rays are more direct so the more concentrated the energy over a smaller area. Also, the less air the rays must pass through, thus the less filtration due to less interaction with the molecules in the air. The lowest amount of flu cases are in the summertime. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/UVB/uvb_radiation3.php https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/stratosphere/uv_index/gif_files/rdu_17.png
During the winter months, (northern hemisphere), due to the tilt of the earth away from the sun, the lowest amount of available UVB radiation reaches the earth’s surface. This is because the lower the sun is overhead (noon), the more oblique the angle, the less concentrated the energy over a larger area. Additionally, the more air the rays must pass through, thus the more filtration due to more interaction with the molecules in the air. The highest amount of flu cases are in the wintertime.
Many people are Vitamin D deficient, especially in the higher latitudes and especially during the winter months. Thus has been known for a very long time and is the reason why many foods are “fortified with Vitamin D”. https://www.cdc.gov/nutritionreport/pdf/nr_ch2b.pdf The darker your skin, the more sun is required. In the US, a minimum 40% of whites, 70% of Hispanics and 82% of blacks are Vitamin D deficient. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-much-vitamin-d-to-take#section2
Radiation from sunshine is a natural virucide. It kills viruses! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1280232/
UV radiation is being used to disinfect hospital rooms. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-51914722 https://www.dukehealth.org/blog/uv-light-helps-duke-hospitals-fight-transmission-of-superbugs

Two important questions that need to be asked.

1. Question: Why are there no Flu Outbreaks in the summertime? Do virus’s take a vacation?
Answer: The most amount of UVB+ is available from the Sun in the summertime months.

Viruses do not go away in the summertime, they have a harder time staying active (alive) and the body’s immune system is better equipped to fight them.
UVB (Sunlight) enables the human body to produce Vitamin D. Vitamin D boosts the immune system’s ability to fight pathogens, including the COVD19 virus.
UVB+ (Sunlight) Kills pathogens, including the COVD19 virus.  Flu Type Viruses are not a problem in Tropical zones where UVB is available all year long. Most cases of COVD19 in the tropics are from individuals coming in from other areas.

2. Question: Why is the MSM/Government telling people to stay indoors, away from the sunshine and at the same time NOT telling people to take their vitamin D?
Answer: I don’t claim to know why, but It seems they want Power, Profit and Control for Them instead of Truth, Freedom & Health for us. Otherwise why not promote these simple facts stated above.

I suggest you do your own research to answer this question. The truth is out there, I would not depend on the MSM/Government to supply it.

I live in North Carolina and it took me all of 15 minutes to find the following information to connect the dots concerning UVB vs. flu cases in N.C. I am quite confident the MSM/Government know all this, after all this is from their websites.

NOTE: It is difficult to find charts which indicate illness throughout the entire year, however the data I have found indicates illness is below 1%, emphasizing the UVB vitamin D connection.

Look at the correlation between these charts.

Here’s a chart from the NC Department of Health & Human Services
https://flu.ncdhhs.gov/data.htm

.
From the CDC website:

.
From the National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration

So how much Vitamin D should one take every day?

If you have adequate UVB sunlight exposure, your body makes all the Vitamin D you need. The amount of sunlight needed depends on the UVB index due to time of the year, time of the day and your race, ie. the color of your skin. The darker your skin, the longer exposure is required. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/vitamin-d-from-sun#time-of-day

The time generally ranges from around 10-30 minutes at mid-day depending on the above variables. With these times, it is estimated the body makes the equivalent of taking 10,000-20,000 IU supplemental vitamin D. IU means International Units. The RDA, Recommended Daily Allowance, is 600 IU for children and 800 IU for adults. Studies have shown that taking 1000 to 4000 IU per day supplement is required to maintain optimum blood levels, with 4000 IU the theoretical maximum safe limit. Milk is generally fortified with approximately 100 IU. Personally, I take one 1000 IU supplement, twice a day, or 2000 IU. I may increase this.

It must be noted that optimum vitamin D blood levels are also required for proper calcium uptake for proper bone formation and many other processes in the body. Vitamin D deficiency has now been linked to breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, heart disease, depression, weight gain, and other maladies. This article is only concerned with Vitamin D and the immune system, but I want to point out its importance.

It must be noted that the required time for your body to create the needed amount of vitamin D is generally less than the amount of time that it takes to damage the skin, sunburn and cause skin cancer. Also, these times are without sunscreen. Sunscreen greatly reduces vitamin D production.

Interesting that the RDA is 800 IU, less than the minimum required to maintain optimum blood levels. Additionally, vitamin D requires Cholesterol to perform its functions. So we are NOT being told to take sufficient vitamin D, but are told to lower Cholesterol and stay out of the Sun. These are simplistic statements and I have no medical training, but I am intelligent enough to make a living servicing medical nuclear cameras, we all can read and have access to more information today than ever before.

I will tell you to consult your doctor, and you should, but most of them don’t really know much about nutrition and the immune system. It’s not entirely their fault, as the medical education system is funded by the pharmaceutical industry. Doctors receive as little as 2.8 hours in eight years of their education on nutrition and immune system function. Big pharma is the main funder of medical education, pushes patented drugs as treatments, discourages study of nutrition’s effects on health and the immune system while demonizes anyone that promotes anything to the contrary. https://health.usnews.com/wellness/food/articles/2016-12-07/how-much-do-doctors-learn-aboutnutrition

I suggest you make the best of this time we have been forced to “shelter in place”, shut off the Netflix binge watching and do your own research. I use the maxim of one of my heroes, William Cooper, who would begin his “short wave” radio show, (pre-internet), “ read everything, watch everything, listen to everyone, but believe nothing until you can proof it to yourself.”

One place I have learned a lot of good information on nutrition is Joseph Everett’s “What I’ve Learned” YouTube Channel. I recommend every video Joseph has produced. Support Joseph if you find his information helpful. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqYPhGiB9tkShZorfgcL2lA

Of course, use due diligence, check your facts, but don’t only rely on Google, Wikipedia or so called fact checkers like Snopes.com, they all have their own agendas and algorithms that have been engaged in massive censorship of many points of view and subjects. Use alternate search engines such as GoodGopher, DuckDuckGo and Swiss Cows, and others. Seriously, these are real alternative browsers that have not shown the shadow banning, systematic redirects and outright censoring that Google, Twitter, Facebook and others have been engaged, at least for now.

You may also consider using a VPN, Virtual Private Network. How unfortunate it is, in the land of the free, one should be concerned about one’s browsing history.

I realize I will be demonized as being a “Conspiracy Theorist” for disseminating this information about Sunshine, UVB and Vitamin D, but I ask you, “Where is the Lie”? Put your critical thinking caps on, review the information provided and please tell me where I am wrong.

Please answer the question, if the MSM/ Government is so concerned about our health that they are turning our country into actual prison, WHY isn’t the MSM / Government informing us about the most important , simple and inexpensive way to help protect ourselves from COVID19, Vitamin D? What is their agenda, it obviously isn’t our health.

In these uncertain times and in not so uncertain times, you are the master of your own health. Please take care of yourselves. Without your health, you have nothing. Take control of what you can.

Best regards, be well.
