Rene quinton french doctor develop SEA Water inections.He understend healing Power of SEA Water.Everything IS hiden from US but come on surfece drop by drop
This practice of using sunlight to heal patients began with Florence Nightingale. She was brilliant.
Lol something done done since creation in Africa and is still practiced today
Yes, I learned this in nursing school in 2011. “Public Health Officals” knew this when they locked us down in our homes for over a year. I knew that they meant to harm the public with the bs “stay at home order”. I’m still so disgusted by the medical community, I’m no longer proud to be a RN.
indeed she was , she had common sense, scarce like gold these days.
She was part of the natural hygiene movement which values sunlight.
@@Lp78Ch I have copies of Florence Nightingale’s journals. Can you post a copy of the source for the ancient Chinese doctors you referred to?
Sunshine should be a regular therapy in nursing homes where residents rarely get outside. 😷
Some do have patios or large rooms with picture windows. Sunshine is such a mood booster, along with fresh air. Having to breathe nursing home recycled air all the time must be awful. When I took my aunt out of a nursing home in her wheelchair one day into the patio area, she immediately relaxed and promptly fell asleep. I should have taken her out every day, but I worked and was not able to. I feel really guilty about that now.
Why are you feeling guilty about something you were unable to control?
Light is not enough through GLASS it need direct contact with as much sunlight on the skin to allow absorption of all frequencies.
Why do the authorities try VERY hard to keep the people away from sunlight and encourage everybody to use high factor sunshield and cover up the skin. THEY KNOW.
How about Sunlight treatment for ALL hospital patients??!! "Go out into the light and warmth of the glorious sun, ... its life-giving, healing power" EGW
Hospitals are not in the business of healing anyone.
nature and naturalsunlight boosts everyone.
Sun light is electromagnetic wave of different frecvency.
Artificially can induce light at same spectrum or with different spectrum.
They used this BEFORE antibiotics were invented.
Finally getting smart
The thing is, regardless of what part of the world you live in, we experience this phenomenon known as seasons, meaning that at certain times of the year, sunlight may not be readily available?
I used to work at a hospital in Denmark in the 1970s. They still had an older building with a huge sun porch for the Tuberculosis patients
Remnants of a world gone by. We can still learn from them.
In 2006, my 84 yr old Mom Was Dx with a glioblastoma, we cared for her at home. When the neurosurgeon told her she was terminal, her first words were, “this must be the hardest part of your job”. She always put others before herself. The tumor gave her lt sided stroke like weakness, she was able to talk during the numerous sz. She said the sz didn’t hurt, but she was afraid of them. She also never complained of any pain....that generation was so stoic. I had taken her outside as often as she wanted that summer. She would sit next to her roses and on those days, she said she felt better. Fresh air and sunshine are important for health. I also air my house out daily when the weather permits.
You must be very proud of her. I lost my mother this last year and she never complained either. I will never forgive the people that forced lockdowns and scared the crap out of her for the last 3 years of her life. Absolutely disgusting.
Roses have a very high vibration rate, and are known for their healing capacities.
Sun is wonderful!
those sun-screen advertisement had given the sun a very bad name, causing millions of people living like vampire. and hence created tons of illnesses for themselves. sunlight UV 1 to 3 provides free nitric-oxide to the body and UV 4 and above provides free vitamin D to the body. lack of these two important element could cause tons of issues to the body.
She was a kind soul.
I have metastatic breast cancer in one lung, my chest lymph nodes, and other places in my body. This has been going on for 30 years, much to the amazement of all the medical staff that see my chart. During that time, I've gotten as much sunlight as possible throughout the year even if it meant shoveling snow out of my way. After watching your initial videos, on near-infrared benefits, I purchased a near-infrared pad which I use daily and it has been a huge help in keeping down the fluid, that forms in my lung, so that I haven't needed to have the lung drained since 2020, even though substantial fluid was left behind. I also use the pad on my face and most people, I meet, think I am healthy and 20 years younger then I am lol.
That is an amazing story. Blessings to you and I hope you continue to do as well or even better.
That's awesome! What pad have you been using?
@@mamahummingbird4059 same question for me too
I use a ZYOCEAN pad, I got from Amazon. It has both red light and near-infrared light. A few days ago, I ripped something between my knee and ankle which caused my knee and lower leg to swell up and be extremely painful. I used the pad, several times a day, and now the swelling is down and I can almost walk normally again. The leg still hurts a bit, but I haven't had to take a pain killer since this morning.
could Car-T cure you?
That patient was beyond fortunate to have you on the case!
Your channel is the reason I started sitting in the sun...that I can sit in the sun, doing nothing, but still doing something very important for my health. Thank you for all your contributions to our understanding of how to rely on ourselves for our own health outcomes.💕
Wonderful to hear that it’s making a difference.
@@Medcram Why not just use some IR lights if it's inconvenient to get the patient outside? That would be possible to do regardless of time of day and even when it's cloudy or is there something about sunlight, other than perhaps psychological effects that can't be replicated easily with artificial lighting? With these artificial lights, one could get that type of light even while in a ventilator I guess to test on really critical patients that are not even conscious anymore.
@@cyberfunk3793 totally agree. I don’t see any downside. I just don’t know about the effectiveness. The study done in Brazil was on non-ICU patients. It makes sense though to repeat that study on that population.
For years I’ve noticed that sitting outside in the sun always made me feel better if I had been sick. And I recovered quicker from the illness I had, whether it was a cold or gastroenteritis.
Thank you so much, Doctor Seheult. I have been listening to you since early 2020. I use NAC, quercetin off and on, Vitamin D3 to get my levels normal, and I get 20-30 minutes of sunlight every day the sun is out and I walk along the forest. I live on the east coast and it can get cold, but the sunlight then is even more important. Almost 4 years later I still haven't had COVID. I had to have mesenteric follicular lymphoma removed in a major procedure in 2021 and I was out in the sun as soon as possible and I recovered quickly and have no sign of reoccurence in scans two and a half years later and counting.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your gentle presence and wisdom and deep research. The Earth is much better having you on it. If only we had more physicians like you we'd have a much more compassionate and effective medical system.
Oral supplements of vitamin D are dangerous. They will mess up your calcium metabolism.
As I watch this video I am recovering from covid and sitting outside in the Florida sunshine. Been doing this for the duration based on following your channel from the beginning. High risk patient post paxlovid rebound. Everything you need to know about covid can be found on this channel. Thanks so much.
What makes you think you have "covid"?
Those NIR vests used in the study need to be distributed to all hospitals and made available for public purchase.
We have a new icu that just opened and they made it whit large floor to ceiling windows. Lots of natural sunlight and its great
Hopefully they used the right kind of glass that allows near infrared light to pass through it.
I've been saying for years that they need sun rooms in hospitals
I work in urgent care and been telling everyone with covid, flu etc. as an adjunctive treatment to get outside for sunlight and fresh air. I mentioned this anectode to them and they were wow'ed. Much more effective than just saying 'go outside'. Glad science is catching up to EGW.
When I had Covid a year and a half ago, I would spend about 45 minutes in the sun (lower legs and firearms exposed directly), twice a day. My case announced to a runny nose and slight cough.
I attribute the mildness to my 4x/week hour long sun exposure/day.
My job as a dentist has me 18 inches from open mouths creating aerosols.
I saw one patient on a Wednesday who said that morning's test was negative, but reported on Saturday as testing positive. I tested positive on Sunday.
I had to read your post twice. Lower legs and “firearms”exposed. 😂😂😂
The covid tests are fraudulent. Nobody has covid. It is a rebranding of common symptoms of illness.
TB patients used to be taken outside everyday. Hospitals were designed for moving the whole bed directly out onto the lawn. Why have we forgotten all the basics?
Because many doctors would rather let their patients die then do something which might make them look stupid.
Very educational , enjoy your videos , society doesn't realize the power of the Mitochondria in our cells. It's the key to everything health related in our bodies.
My understanding is that sunlight also allows the Vit D to become sulfonated, which increases it’s effectiveness.
Back when sun exposure was used to help treat TB, they made buildings that allowed/encouraged it. It’s shameful that nowadays many hospitals are stark/depressing places full of cell-like rooms with little to no opportunity for sun, fresh air, or nature. It should’t be so hard for ill hospital/nursing-home pts to get access to these proven beneficial activities. ☀️
So sunlight, perhaps fresh air, cup of tea and chicken soup...basically trust grandma and not Remdesivir.
Great info. I posted it to my social platform. Your patients are very blessed to have you as their doctor.
I'm so proud of the work you are doing for your patients. I've been listening to your lectures for years. Sunshine and breath work have been foundational for my family's health.
Love this! Thank you! This goes to show a case study on lifestyle interventions can be an adjunctive integrated into medical care. I heard a lecture that claimed sunlight on your skull converted to nitric oxide and then oxygen. Also, another M.D. talks about how foods you eat especially greens convert to nitric oxide and then oxygen nourishing your endothelial tissue. He was saying you needed to eat cooked greens with a splash of vinegar. There only might be one drawback to going outdoors and that is particulate matter and excess ozone. I check air quality before going outdoors because of pollution in my area.
As someone who's used light to turn an alphabet soup around, these light episodes make me so verry happy. Fantastic. Preach.
Thanks Doc for not holding back and putting it out there.
We'll sing in the sunshine, we'll laugh everyday..........
...well sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way
I shared this video with my friend who was recently released from the hospital, her second stay in a week, where she contracted covid during her first stay. I remember being told by an older healthcare worker when I was young that sunlight was very beneficial.
Thank you so much
Solariums are so important and is unfortunate that architects don't understand this or care about the long history of hospital design.
Architects do care about these things. However they are often given a very prescriptive brief, which severely limits what they can do. And then, on top of that, in come the 'value engineers', who make cuts wherever they can to reduce the costs of the building, and they often have no clue of the importance of certain aspects of the design, so make inappropriate cuts and changes.
Thank you for this wonderful video, your work, and your analysis.
I’ve been feeling sick for the past several weeks and as a result haven’t been getting much sun, but did ramp up my vitamin d, k and a few other things. But after starting to watch this I put it on pause and walked outside to enjoy 20 minutes of afternoon sunlight. I feel a bit better already (if for no other reason than just being cheered up by the light). Great presentation- the spike of deaths around the shortest daylight day of the year in the northern hemisphere is VERY compelling!
So much great content and data. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for making my long covid journey so much more bearable. I pass along your video links to others all the time.
Wonderful information. Thank you doctor.
OUTSTANDING WORK colleague, I admire your work and use it every day, thanks very much
This is so encouraging to know!
I have been following all of your vids since 2020 & I remember you saying that you suspected the benefits of sunlight to combat covid19, but that you weren't sure just yet at the time. All I can say is "WOW!" doctor, you were right(I know that nothing is 100% effective for everyone, but at least you give us a fighting chance) . I will definitely share this vid with my friends & family. Thank You for all your hard work!
Another excellent and informative video Doc! I am sending this off to my cousin (M.D.) and as many people as I can for viewing. Can't argue with the research related to sunlight therapy. I hope that all is well and that you & your family have a very Happy Holiday season! 👍👍🌲🌲💥💥
Thank you so much.
@@Medcram well done i cant get any vitamin d this is really good to here i have no para thyroid glands pth keep researching mine is no ultra-processed food im glad i know what i know eat real food
I have this antique medical book from 1908 written by one of the first female physicians called “the wife as the family physician”. It’s 5 inches thick and amazingly scientific even by modern standards. There is a whole chapter about sun/light therapy saying these same things. Funny how modern medicine seems to have forgotten what was known almost 120 years ago. They revisit old common knowledge and claim it’s a new discovery.
Many hospitals at the turn of the century had solariums.
My husband's grandfather was a doctor, and we have one of his medical books, really thick, and there is an entire chapter on the importance of getting outside into the sun, and it also advises sitting in a sunny window in the winter. They didn't know why back then, but now we know that near infrared radiation is what you can get through window glass.
The reason that the " old" knowledge had disappeared is because of the focus on patentable chemical concoctions.
@UraniaOfTheGalaxy I think some newer types of windows block NIR though, so in modern times, we need to actually go outside--I think he's mentioned that in one of the other videos about it.
I wonder if red light/near infrared panels might me helpful where exposure to sunlight isn't available?
there is evidence that infra red from trees is very helpful. he addresses this
Great video! Thank you. I'm sharing this one with friends and family.
Awesome, thank you!
This is brilliant!
Thank you so much for your sunlight education and promotion!!! I have experienced it's healing effects in many health areas over the years. I learned many years ago that I could not wear glasses that acted as sun glasses, because it caused depression in me. I made pointed efforts to always get more sun everyday and it helped my depression so much. When life gets hectic, I have to make extra time for the sunshine and always try to encourage others to as well, they probably get tired of hearing it from me, lol!!! It is vital to our health in so many ways.
Drive to office after work-from-home several days feels so much better than staying at home all day without sunlight.
We get into a rut staying at home on the computer all the time. I know I do. I retired, and I didn't like the patterns I was forming. So it's been four years, and I bought a three-wheeled bike about a month ago. I can tell you that getting on that bike and taking off to explore all the neighborhoods on the back streets is amazing. Fresh air and exercise. I LOVE my bike!
When you publish your infrared study on Covid I use that to tell my sister to get sunlight when she got Covid. I believe it helped her recover way faster and she has her taste bud back.
Thanks so much for educating us, we really need to know all your teachings ❤good health to you Dr and all of us 🙏
Thank you for this video
Thank you for your efforts knowledge and follow up on this important topic Dr Seheult!
Very interesting! I built last year a near-IR light array, to help with my long covid. Here we don't have much sun at this time of year in Canada, and it makes a small but still significant difference. My light array consists of 4x 150W red infrared lights, of classic incandescent type. Thank you!
Are the bulbs NIR or simply infrared heat lamp bulbs?
@@planegoodmusic The bulbs are infrared heat lamps, as used in farming, or in restaurants for keeping food warm. They do emit in a larger spectrum than only the near-IR range, but they are much more powerful than what many LED-based solutions can do. We also have to keep in mind that the sun emits a wide range of light frequencies, including near-IR and IR as well. So overall, it's doing an excellent job at a reasonnable price.
@@alexandrecouture2462 do you feel any change in your mood, like uplifted, or any other benefit?
@@planegoodmusic The change is that my body feels more like it is in summer mode than in winter mode. It gives me a little bit more energy versus if I don't use it. Even my hairs, who goes a bit darker during winter and lighter during summer, stay lighter.
yes the IR light help a lot even in pain management with cancer patients, It must be good for people who have less severe sickness. much in the sun we can measure or explain.
Outstanding care ❤
Excellent.
Great sharing. Thanks
Excelente como sempre. Gratidão imensa
Very well understood
Thanks, that is very informative
Thank you so much for your videos, your channel, and your reasonable and sound thinking. I appreciate your freely sharing your experience.
I don't get much sunlight anymore due to chronic pain and the resulting depression. Is there some type of light source that can be purchased for someone in my situation? Thank you.
@@gferraro8353 coming from much further north (north of Germany) than I have lived in over half of my life now (Hawaii), I used to have the same problem. I still have that same problem when we get lots of rain or have thick overcast for several days in a row. I noticed it even one year in summer when I was working too long hours. This was over 20 years ago when few people were talking about vitamin D. My husband suggested it could be vitamin D related, and supplementing with vitamin D does help but it's not like being out in the sun. - Problem when it's cold also is that you have to put on more clothes to keep warm which prevents the sunlight from getting to your skin. (Anecdotal evidence, I know - and neither my husband nor I are/were medical professionals)
Thnks4AllUdo
They were doing this in other countries 2020! I'm so glad they let you do this here. Because you are the one who made (me) aware d3 was needed and Sunlight was necessary for Covid.
You saved this patients life simply by putting him in the sun. 🎉 Good job sir
Very interesting.
thanks for sharin this story, it is brilliant in its simplicity, obviously many other tools in the shed, thanks
Very good point. It’s important to understand that no one particular intervention is 100% effective.
I should also say, its simple in the conclusion but a great expose in terms ordinary folk can kind of fellow, it also fly's in the face of the sun being so demonized, there are boundaries n common sense, n I'm sure that sunlight site would be packed with good common-sense n be backed up by understandable explanations, it's the ole calling a spade a spade, now that's also benifittal as we know, Goodonya
Yup. Worked well in the Colorado sanitoriums in the 1920's.
Thanks!
Thank you!
I wonder if all of the sunscreen we slather on our kid and ourselves is why so many of us are sick. Very interesting video .
Hi doc. Got cov for the 1st x over Thanksgiving. Body felt tingly for a week, no hard aches. It went away for 2 days, felt great, then came back for a day. Problem is it's been cloudy for almost 2 weeks. The day after my symptoms came back we got sun so I did errands and finished up some yard work. I felt 💯 since then.
I didn't even consider the sun. Crazy thing is I bought 2 grow lights and had planned on setting them up for my plants and herbs inside my house and as a substitute for the near infra red light on cloudy stretches. Cov has felt like an afterthought til now. Thank you for this invaluable reminder, esp the data with cancer since someone in my fam is going thru chemo. I'll make sure he watches this and give him a grow light for the infra red light exposure while encouraging him to go out when the sun is out.
Great and important vid 🙏👍
I've been an outside person my whole life. Even now that I'm old and my body has had trauma, I'm outside almost all day. I putter, enjoy the birds and squirrels and my old dog is there with me. Not much better for health besides time with family.
Due to me seeing your videos about light as medicine, we bought a red light therapy pad/wrap. Last February, my husband got a non-Covid respiratory virus. He has asthma & diabetes and his lungs were bad and not improving for days. Then I asked him to use the red light therapy. He FINALLY started getting better right away!!! I’m a firm believer! Thank you, dr!
That’s exciting news. I am learning just as much as everyone else about all of this and I appreciate your feedback.
I always appreciate that you aren't afraid to embrace treatments that are simple and don't involve complex apparatus or strong medications (not that these things don't have their place, of course); I'm wondering if you have any thoughts--or might do a future video--on fasting/autophagy and viruses (specifically SARS-Cov2). As a layperson, I can't quite work out what the consensus is, if any... Thank you for your work!
Thank you! I believe that IF has benefits. Not sure about in SARS coV2 infections however.
Very well done!
I've started using a 250 watt 1962 GE red/IR heat lamp with a dimmer as it is very powerful. We used these when i was a kid in NJ to raise baby chicks. They would crowd under them on cold winter nights, and we adjusted the distance so the chicks would not get too hot. Great way to warm up as like you say, IR penetrates deep, They still sell something like these for food service, to keep meals warm while waiting for the waitress. The fact that it could have health benefits is fantastic!
Yep we have baby chicks as well. It’s important to keep them warm. And yes there are health benefits I believe. I think the sun is the best.
I wonder if “Lizard lights” or “Grow lights” would have enough NIR to be effective? Not just Infrared and heat types, but “Near Infrared” light.
@@planegoodmusicgood question 0- I have a large tortoise who spends oct to may inside because I live in Canada . she has 2 infrared lights - I wonder if those are the lights that would work ? For me
This would be helpful on those snowy cold days here in the north!!
Science and motivational sincere interest combined present the sunshine of solutions you discussed. Thank you for spelling out clearly this vital message. I noticed in the Philippines I was generally healthier than here in the USA...
Interesting.
Shared!
Reminds me of being stuck in the psych ward for a month when I didn't need to be there. No sun. Just blasting cold AC all day and florescent lights. Any sun from the windows was scattered by the iron mesh fence on the 8th floor windows.
The only window that gave me any sun was facing the cancer ward. I would watch the same people in scrubs run in and out every 40 minutes to smoke. Oh the irony.
Thank you again Dr. Seheult, for this life saving information. After getting covid again this past November for 8 weeks, (moderate, but lost my sense of smell and appetite for a few weeks) I now easily get a sore throat, and feel my immune system is weakened.
I'm taking Vit. D daily and walking daily for 20 min in the late afternoon sunlight. I watched your other videos today on sunlight, and will also get a bit of sunlight exposure before 9AM every day.
In addition, I'm going to take my daily walk earlier, so I'll also get sunlight on my walk back to the apt. This will give me more than double the amount of sun exposure daily. I believe this will boost my immune system.
I know I speak for many of us, in saying that I'm very grateful for your work.
You can't get "covid". it is a rebranding of a variety of symptoms of illness. Oral vitamin D supplements are dangerous. They mess with your calcium metabolism. You get symptoms because you are not detoxifying efficiently. Check out The Nutrition Detective to learn how to stop intoxing and supplement the minerals that are needed for detox.
There's no money in sunlight. Really interesting studies all the same. I'm from England and stepping off a plane in Atlanta or Las Vegas the sun and heat hits you instantly. An almost euphoric feeling which I'm sure is more than just the oncoming experience. I've had high Vitamin D levels throughout the pandemic and never had the disease or the "cure". Happy with my 147 nmol/L.
Um, speaking of money, not all of us can afford to just hop on a plane on a whim, and go to some other part of the world where there happens to be more of an abundance of sunlight.
@@jsizemo It took me 20 years of work to do that. Anyone can do it, just takes work, patience and saving. All three a rarity in this modern world. 😀
@@simonbroddle754 Your virtue signal has 5 bars.
It makes sense to me to boost intracellular D3 levels by supplementing in advance and during sunlight therapy.
Without sunscreen..for 15 minutes or more
I think I wrote that in another comment section, but as a nurse working in an old hospital with the old windows that still let infrared light in, I open the blinds every morning in my patients' rooms as I get ready to take vitals and do my assessments. Half of my patients are unresponsive on ventilators, the others who are responding instantly get irritated and demand the blinds closed again. It's a cultural thing here in this country, blinds, drapes, curtains closed, TV on, windows never opened. I've encountered it in most people's homes. Those cultural practices are also preferred by people in their rooms in the hospital. I rarely have a patient who actually wants their blinds open and wants to look outside or the light to come in.
To me, growing up in central Europe, this practice is not understandable. I grew up with sun pouring through windows and daily airing out the house, windows open for a while, yes, even in the winter. I still practice this at age 65.
Congrats for using your knowledge to help your patient! He was extremely fortunate to have you as his physician.
I find it shocking that 4yrs into this pandemic hospitals like his first admission are still severely harming their patients. How on earth could his providers start steroids on day1 of symptoms?! They severely blunted his immune response which led to his disease progression. Of course his C19 symptoms resolved since those symptoms are caused by an active immune response. So sad what this patient was put through needlessly. Thank goodness you were there to intervene and turn the course towards a positive outcome!
This was a great success story. I have great hope that what was learned can be further studied and applied in a wider group. It will likely be a gamechanger in patient treatment. I guess just don't let the pharmas hear about it (sorry, a little sarcasm, I know they do some positive lifechanging things as well). Thanks! Dave J
I am wondering if that is what saved my life, I was in bad shape but had read about being exposed to sunlight early on , so as sick as I was I went outside every day and started to feel better everyday
I would not be surprised
A good ad campaign here for sunlife
Great work Dr. I wonder how a little methylene blue would add to beneficial effects of light?
hello sir,,,,could you please make a video explaining simply (propensity score matching)
Amazing. Thank you.
Surprising that he was not given Paxlovid by the provider who initially treated him at the other hospital.
FYI (those who haven't seen some of MedCram's videos on this topic), melatonin is produced by near-infrared exposure which could have been the case with this patient as he was mostly clothed during his sun exposure. Bare skin exposure is necessary for producing Vit D.
Hello , I’m dr. Hamid Allami a general surgery specialist from Iraq I used this method of exposing patients with sever COVID-19 , low spo2 and on O2 therapy since the beginning of pandemic iin 2020 in my clinic in Baghdad and I saved thousands of patients..thanks a lot for you efforts to reveal the scientific base of such approach
Thank you! Will republish
Is this something that you came up with in your practice or is it widely practiced in Iraq?
Watched this while sitting out in the sun. Tested positive for COVID 3 days ago.
Consider hydrotherapy as well:
ruclips.net/video/oRkxH56LqCo/видео.htmlsi=TbUJplAvS23aT9Gv
We used the ArtemiC Rescue and ArtemiC Support combo, and it worked well for us for both short and long covid. You can find out more by typing it in.
For either covid or long covid:
ArtemiC Rescue is a pump spray, 5 pumps in the morning and 5 pumps at night at least a half an hour before eating. After 2 days the bottle is finished.
ArtemiC Support is a pipette, 0.5ml in the morning and 0.5ml at night at least one half hour before eating. After 30 days the bottle is finished. 😅
@@Medcram Yes, been doing contrast showers and did a contrast face bath once, thanks.
@@LongRonnybyebye Thanks for sharing 😊
I had covid in 1993. I lived in Torrance at the time and the OJ Simpson trial was going on. I ended up with long covid before anyone knew what long covid was. The illness itself was keeping me indoors and on a vampire schedule. I was up at night and slept during the day. I had long covid for a year. I went to countless experts and they kept telling me I had PTSD and anxiety. They thought I was a hypochondriac and treated me badly. I finally got pissed and went out and started running every morning. It was miserable for the first week but by week two I could tell I was turning a corner with my illness.
At the time I did not know I had covid. I thought I had anxiety.
2 years later the VA sent me a letter and said I had SARS-COVID 1493. I still have the letter.
Wow! That is really interesting. I was looking at the corona virus when it first came out and noticed there had been outbreaks in various places of different variants decades before it turned into the 2019 pathogen.
I notice a lot of my relatives pass during December. My Dad passed in December and my older sister passed in December.
This is amazing to watch! Unfortunately, I have severe doubts that the NHS in the UK and devolved assemblies would be allowed to use light as medicine, but I would be happy if someone tells me different.
The NHS is always looking for cost savings, so if it can be done cheaply, and it is proven, then they will jump at it. GPs prescribe exercise, which is very cheap.
You’re a good man, Dr Seheult.
Only as a mirror is bright when a light is shined on it.

You deserve the praise. I passed the video to my cardiologist, Dr Danielle Belardo.
If the patient is that low on vitamin D and is hospitalized with Covid they need vitamin D infusion, not a day on the sun. Taking SOUND medical advice is the key to having more days in the sun. In any case, winter in the northern hemisphere doesn’t provide enough UV-B for this to work even conceptually. If you have darkly pigmented skin and live in the northern hemisphere, you should ALWAYS supplement with vitamin D.
D3...
MY grandmother used
Cod liver oil..
Dark skinned people need a lot more
Especially blacks in the UK
latitude higher than in the American south or Jamaica
Did you even watch his presentation? Vitamin D is only a partial remedy as it does not benefit the body in all the ways that Sunshine can. And it’s infrared radiation that provides the main benefit which can be absorbed through clothing and is available even in winter months
@@oderbie You seem so confident. Ever actually seen a map of UV-B radiation? You go out in winter in light fabrics?
“If you can see light through a fabric, UV rays can get through, too. Many companies now make clothing that's lightweight, comfortable, and protects against UV rays even when wet. It tends to be more tightly woven, and some have special coatings to help absorb UV rays.”
“The strength of the sun’s UV rays reaching the ground depends on a number of factors, such as:
Time of day: UV rays are strongest in the middle of the day, between 10 am and 4 pm.
Season of the year: UV rays are stronger during spring and summer months. This is less of a factor near the equator.
Distance from the equator (latitude): UV exposure goes down as you get further from the equator.
Altitude: More UV rays reach the ground at higher elevations.
Cloud cover: The effect of clouds can vary, but it's important to know that UV rays can get through to the ground, even on a cloudy day.
Reflection off surfaces: UV rays can bounce off surfaces like water, sand, snow, or pavement, leading to an increase in UV exposure.”

@@oderbie Shortest presentation I could find on short notice that shows the UV map, also discusses ancestral migrations.

Late 2021 this was essentially my story without the sunlight/NIR.
26 days in hospital, 5 in ICU.
I was given steroids to mitigate inflammation.
I was thinking while watching this video, how absolutely satisfying it must have been to do this for someone.
I have followed the NIR story from the Vitamin D vids you did all tje way through.
Others are reporting in this as well, however far too few.
Dr Bean also on RUclips has covered this. Perhaps you two should talk.
You both have a passion for science based medicine.
Also, I have dedicated myself to sharing this information with others. I have more than familiarized myself with the biochemical mechanisms, terms, and original source documents in medical journals to convey the point to the broadest variety of people.
What surprised me the most, is how early the mechanism of action was identified.
For instance, in of the studies you showed, in one of your vids, I recognized,
That was published, PUBLISHED, in April 2020.
The underlying question to me now is, why is this not common knowledge?
And when people find out, what will it mean as far as trust in our institutions?
I don't know about the "jacket" they were using, but using halogen lights as emitters, with glass filters (block uv), and water filters (reduce some bands of IR) to provide a wider spectrum of IR may be beneficial.
Well, I'm not a medical professional, but I do A LOT of health researching on Dr. Google as I'm old, retired, and have Long COVID. I'm convinced. So thank you!
Amazon sells a FDA approved Vitamin D lamp by Sperti. It costs $599. I bought one for my 87 year old mom. She lives in Buffalo. This would be great for senior homes, especially during the winter.
To what extent do NIR wraps and panels make up for loss of sun exposure during winter months here in northern hemisphere at higher latitudes?
Around Memorial Day of 2020 I was on Amtrak from Chicago to Los Angeles and overheard someone talking about how her friend with Covid was told by her doctor to put her bed outdoors. I thought it sounded like it was good advice based on experience given the radio silence about treatments that year.
It's fascinating that you had a hunch the Covid patient needed sunshine, and your suspicion proved right. When in doubt, go out, as in outside into natural light.
This isn’t new. Before heavy duty antibiotics they put tuberculosis patients in sanatoriums where they would lay out on a sun porch getting fresh air. Sunlight is a great disinfectant. It’s why spring cleaning was and still should be very important.
Exactly! 100%
