The Hidden Harms of Modern Lighting and the Fight to Bring Back Incandescent Bulbs

The Human Visible Light Spectrum

One of my longstanding beliefs is that whenever a cheap and widely available therapy exists, the medical system is incentivized to bury it, as lucrative markets emerge once its benefits are no longer there. Natural light is one of the clearest examples of this. Despite over a century of research supporting it, a wide range of medical devices which work by putting specific wavelengths of light into the body (the most remarkable of which, ultraviolet blood irradiation, is discussed here https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-century-of-evidence-putting-light), and most importantly, people simply feeling better in natural light, its importance has been almost completely dismissed by the medical profession, and we have instead been subjected to ever increasing amounts of unhealthy light (often without any say in the matter).

I Tried Every Longevity Supplement So You Don’t Have To – Zac Armstrong

Zac Armstrong Supplements

Zac’s video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N4kDHhqG0I

In it he makes the point that unless a supplement “moved the marker” that it was supposed to affect it was not worth spending money on it.

He had blood tests done over the course of a year and had them interpreted by a doctor to determine if the supplements he was taking affected the tested markers.

Trouble is, there might be less than 20 vitamins and less than 100 minerals but there are over 40,000 phytonutrients, only 10,000 of whiuch have been identified. And we have identified many health benefits that acrue from those phytonutrients. They were not on Zac’s list of markers to test.

And we still have no widely use test for mitochondrial function. (Mitochondria are the engines in our cells that produce energy. One of the problems people are suffering from post-Covid gene therapy shots is low energy.)

All in all Zac’s video may or may not have some data valid to his circumstances but it leaves a lot of data out of the equation.

I was reminded of this most stronly two hours after watching his video when I read this:

“Overall, most of these organizations recommend a minimum of 250–500 mg combined EPA and DHA each day for healthy adults. This can be obtained from about 8 ounces of fatty fish per week.

One study followed 11,000 people who took an 850-mg dose of combined EPA and DHA every day for 3.5 years. They experienced a 25% reduction in heart attacks and a 45% reduction in sudden death .”(https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-much-omega-3).

Heart attacks are a downstream effect (one of a great many) not catered for in Zac’s simplistic assessment of supplements.
