Cured my wife's anxiety and my depression with nutritional supplements.

Geniuses: Think yourselves into being cured for a change instead of thinking yourselves into being sick.
All of your imagined problems are not filling your plate or your favorite liver pill, get over cowardly yourselves, please.

Deleted the post above yours that turned out to be edited later to become spam.

Unlike sites with ads, our forum isn't in some part sponsored by pharmaceutical corporations so this topic is as safe to discuss as any other here.

There is nothing illegal or risky about talking about openly published research, results from taking vitamins or lifestyle change, and other things covered in this thread. There's entire websites where they talk about nothing but that sort of thing, and have done so for decades with no problems other than certain advertisers don't like it.

Checking in.
4 years on the clock using artificial UV lamps.

- still never get sick during the winter
- seasonal affective disorder used to wreck my life every winter, i forgot i had the problem
- slightly more freckles on the arm the light is pointed at than the other arm
- no signs of skin damage other than increased freckle count
- a dude who works for me has an undiagnosable autoimmune disorder that flares up during the winter. These lights somehow fix that
- I got our two cats hooked on it

I'd say my basking habit is a keeper. Here's a picture of my office during winter, with the light approx 2 feet away from my arm.

From what I can tell neptronix asked, researched and did a damn good job of answering the biological questions he asked himself.
Most likely by doing research on Pubmed:
Where searches for biological info is filtered of BS and you get Peer Reviewed, Published Research papers by the like of Harvard Medical and co.

The Peer review and publishing Process:
Harvard medical for eg. writes a paper.
Before they can publish it, it gets sent off to Stanford, Oxford, Yale, Johns Hopkins etc for Peer review.
If the paper is controversial, as in claims to have for eg. have found a cure for cancer, the other universities will replicate the study to see if they get the same results.
Only if they do and give 'The Nod' to a study, is it white-balled and allowed to be published.

So; if you want to take a dump on the advice and experiences noted here, lets make it fun:
Link at least 2 Peer Reviewed, Published papers that contravene what was said, or shut TF up! :)
Can you do that!?
Do you have the mental capacity to hold your emotions in check and do real research and reference it, before you start banging on your keyboard??


Be Flabbergasted:
There are those that ask questions like:
"Why do we age? And what can we do to slow, stop, or even reverse the process?" and find answers.
Then there are those that don't.

For those that want to argue with me on this point; I'll be happy to do so. :)
On:
Which is a forum frequented by the type of biologists alluded to above, where you DON'T post without said research references.
It's a much more suitable environment for a debate on the topic.
I am Logic there too.
(Do NB the post counts and T points of the various members there as a means of having some clue of whoTF to listen to)
 
...

I would be careful of the freckles, as we age those can become skin cancer.

That doesn't make sense to me.
Melanin is a defense against sun. Freckles are spots of melanin produced by the body as a defense.

The people with the most melanin have the least amount of melanoma.

I think this advice might be more applicable to the kind of white person that can't tan.
I would worry the most about skin that doesn't have melanin on it getting cooked.

I'm of mixed white and brown people genetics. I tan quickly and deeply. I can handle 4x the sun-skin contact duration of a typical white person out here. My freckle count is in the millions. I think i'm gonna be okay.

My 70w UV light doesn't hold a candle to the 4500ft elevation sun out here. My most risky activity is bike riding and walking outdoors. I get minor sunburn from time to time from that. I never get sunburn from my lights to begin with.

I think my extreme seasonal affective disorder is more dangerous than melanoma. White knuckling through suicidal thoughts and being extremely irritable and snapping at people around me is pretty bad. Before i was aware of what seasonal affective disorder was, my life would somehow fall apart every winter due to it... through some fault of my own.

My easiest to grok analogy is that SAD makes you gradually feel more like the main character in 'the shining'. In fact, here in Utah, suicides and murders spike around this time of year. So i am not alone in slowly going mental due to cabin fever and UV deficiency.

No thanks, i'll take the risk!
