Different spectrums of light from the sun offers unique benefits due to circadian timing

When someone claims that a tan is a sign of skin or DNA damage, remind them that this entire narrative has its roots in eugenics and scientific racism, not objective circadian biology The early dermatology and photobiology frameworks that demonized tanning were developed during an era when darker skin tones were pathologized, not understood “Sun damage” became a term that conveniently upheld the pseudoscientific belief that pale skin was biologically superior, a view promoted by eugenicists who associated light skin with purity and intelligence So, when they parrot the idea that melanin production equals damage, ask them why they’re defending a framework built on racist pseudoscience rather than updated circadian photobiology Melanin is NOT a damage response It’s an adaptive and photoprotective system that presents the following benefits: 1. Powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and maintains redox balance 2. Natural anti-venom that binds and neutralizes toxic compounds, including heavy metals 3. Anti-tumor agent that suppresses abnormal cell proliferation through redox and immune modulation 4. Biological nnEMF shield that dissipates excess electromagnetic stress at the cellular level 5. Detoxifying polymer that chelates and eliminates environmental toxins and heavy metals 6. Photoprotective barrier which is nature’s built-in sunscreen that adapts to UV exposure from full spectrum sunlight 7. Lipid peroxidation defender that prevents oxidative damage to cellular membranes and fats 8. Broad spectrum anti-viral that inhibits viral replication via photochemical and immune pathways 9. Anti-microbial shield that resists bacterial and fungal invasion through oxidative control 10. Neuroprotective agent that safeguards neurons from oxidative and excitotoxic stress And so much more God and nature infused those benefits into melanin by design. A tan is your body training under full spectrum sunlight It’s an adaptation. That’s why it’s found throughout the entire natural world, especially in human beings, through three forms (neuromelanin, eumelanin, pheomelanin) I’ll tie your mainstream dermatologist into a Gordian knot by forcing the question they won’t want to answer Whose interests does this “damage” narrative actually serve? I’ll tell you this It doesn’t fucking serve the people

Vitamin D3 isn’t the only hormone with dozens of metabolites, endogenous melatonin also has more than a dozen identified metabolites Counting both enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways, researchers have cataloged at least 10-15 distinct melatonin metabolites, and the list keeps growing as metabolomics improves Just like Vitamin D, we’re talking about a complex network with storage forms, active forms, and downstream derivatives that have a powerful impact on systemic health, especially mitochondrial function and immunity Melatonin metabolism operates on two parallel levels: 1. Sub-cellular/local form (inside mitochondria, cells, and tissues) 2. Systemic/circulatory (pineal secretion into the bloodstream, measurable in urine or plasma) The first is made by NIR light outside during the day, while the second is made from nighttime darkness Melatonin is a master circadian hormone that is married to the light and dark cycle, meaning circadian alignment fosters both forms while circadian disruption destroys them More than ever, you need to abide by bright days under full spectrum sunlight and dark nights with very minimal circadian lighting After all, don’t you want to take advantage of endogenous melatonin’s benefits We’re talking about anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-viral, anti-neurodegenerative, anti-metabolic dysfunction, anti-oxidant, and more Melatonin is one of the most potent and versatile antioxidants in the human body, far stronger and more strategic than most dietary antioxidants like vitamin C or E It’s in a league of its own It neutralizes multiple types of reactive species (ROS, RNS, RCS), not just one or two like many antioxidants. It can directly quench hydroxyl radicals, peroxynitrite, singlet oxygen, nitric oxide, and more.. with no pro-oxidant rebound Unlike vitamin C, which can flip into a pro-oxidant under certain conditions, melatonin never does Melatonin is both water (hydrophilic) and fat (lipophilic) soluble. This grants it access to move freely through cell membranes, blood, cytosol, and mitochondria. Most antioxidants are stuck in one compartment, melatonin patrols them all It’s one of the few antioxidants that can get into mitochondria, where most free radicals are generated. It stabilizes the inner membrane, supports electron transport, and prevents oxidative chain reactions at their source I think the most shocking fact about it is that over 95% of your melatonin is made inside your mitochondria, not in your pineal gland, and it’s produced during the day, not just at night Mainstream medicine still hasn’t caught up to that truth Put some respect on endogenous melatonin

Calling sunscreen anti aging is a joke You’re blocking the very UV and infrared light your skin uses to build collagen, make Vitamin D3, generate nitric oxide, and stimulate melanin based photo-protection All sunscreens (both chemical and mineral based) disable natural photoadaptation and mitochondrial signaling, processes that actually preserve skin structure and youth “When it’s black, it don’t crack” is a cultural truth pointing in the direction of eumelanin, but also melanin at large Nature already equipped melanin rich skin with a full spectrum sunscreen and anti aging mechanism And guess what All skin types have melanin, you just have to maximize its longevity and function through a circadian aligned lifestyle and sunbathing framework

Circadian eyesight regeneration isn’t some fringe idea, it was the norm for our ancestors Long before screens, sunglasses, and artificial light, human vision was constantly bathed in the sun’s full spectrum from sunrise to sunset The daily dance between light during the day and darkness at night trained, nourished, and regenerated the visual system Our eyes evolved in lockstep with the sun, not under fluorescents or LEDs Mitochondria are circadian controlled organelles. Opsins are circadian controlled light sensing proteins. Melanin is a circadian and electromagnetic biological polymer These are all light sensing mechanisms central to eye function and longevity What we call “decline” today was once prevented naturally, and often reversed, through nothing more than consistent circadian alignment Your ancestors didn’t need eye exercises or blue light blocking lenses to preserve their vision, their entire lifestyle was an ocular regeneration protocol because nature built it in as a feature Every phase of daytime light carries specific frequencies that tunes and maintains the melanin, photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium, mitochondria, and even ocular blood flow Contrast that with today People spend 90%+ of their time indoors on average, staring at backlit screens under static artificial light The retina is starved of the spectral diversity and rhythms it evolved to depend on It’s no surprise that myopia, dry eye, and degenerative eye diseases are skyrocketing The problem isn’t genetic, it’s epigenetic based on chronic circadian disruption because the environment has changed drastically This isn’t pseudoscience, your own beloved mainstream research confirms the power of light for vision Longer wavelengths like red improve color contrast vision with a single three minute exposure, with it lasting for up to one week Violet light stops myopia through the activation of the EGR1 gene in human beings Red and infrared regenerates opsins, while retinal dopamine made by bright light from the sun improves photoadaptation Blue light activates melanopsin within intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, creating systemic circadian alignment Green light for the improvement of headaches/migraines as shown through the work of Dr. Tom Seager, with that light into the eyes peripherally being a key component of the process UV-A stimulates the release of nitric oxide and activates the pituitary-retinal axis, affecting dopamine and other neurotransmitters crucial for eye growth and focus regulation UV-B influences ocular immune regulation and indirectly supports tear film and corneal health through systemic pathways This is some of the most well grounded science available to human beings, but your optometrist and ophthalmologist don’t know that

Modern medicine is broken You can preach about how great it is for acute care, and I’ll agree, but that’s a distraction from the real issue People like me who’ve experienced iatrogenic harm don’t care about excuses. We’ve been burned, directly or indirectly, by the very system meant to heal As an example, the system itself, a medical bureaucracy, inflicted harm by penalizing my midwife who acted in my family’s best interest during an emergency. That’s institutional iatrogenesis Heavy is the head that wears the crown, so take it on the chin, not up the ass Knowing what iatrogenesis means ≠ reflecting on your role in perpetuating it. Every pilot understands gravity, that doesn’t mean crashes aren’t caused by bad training or broken systems Complexity doesn’t excuse negligence or misaligned incentives. It’s one thing to accept risk, while it’s another to normalize harm as inevitable Patient “self-harm” is often secondary to a system that fails to educate, empower, or create health literate citizens. The culture conditions dependency, then blames the dependent. Sounds like an abusive and alcoholic parent “Don’t confuse your Google search with my medical degree” is the type of arrogance I’m talking about When the entire model rewards treatment over prevention, blaming the patient for acting “autogenically” is hypocrisy Yes, doctors may be more ethical than pharma execs or insurers, but that’s like saying the captain’s the most sober man on a sinking ship Ethics are relative within the system, and that doesn’t absolve the profession’s complicity in the machine I’ve seen more people heal from sunrise, movement, and truth than from any prescription written under fluorescent lights Modern medicine doesn’t own health, but people are waking up, literally and figuratively If I break my leg, I’m obviously going to the hospital. If I have an acute situation that requires a hospital visit, I’ll have no problem going That’s what modern medicine should be for. Acute trauma, emergencies, saving lives when seconds matter But don’t treat me like a fucking idiot who’s incapable of learning, thinking, or discerning truth for myself Because where I’ll actually find health, where I’ll reverse disease, restore energy, and build resilience will never be inside those walls lit by toxic lighting It’ll be outside In the sun, in the cold, in the rhythms of nature that trained my biology long before medicine tried to manage it

There are many Vitamin D metabolites that differ in water solubility, how long they last, and their ability to be reactivated in tissues when needed This means your body can store Vitamin D in different forms, keep it circulating longer, and reactivate it on demand, hence Vitamin D status isn’t just about new production, but also how well your system manages and taps into these reserves Because of this, someone with strong metabolic and circadian rhythms can stay Vitamin D sufficient longer, even with little sun, by cycling and reusing stored forms efficiently On the flip side, if those pathways are disrupted, your body will likely struggle to access or convert those stored metabolites, leading to deficiency even if you technically have plenty in the bank Skin type absolutely matters, but mainly upstream, at the level of how much Vitamin D you can make and store in the first place, not so much in the downstream recycling Darker skin makes Vitamin D more slowly because higher eumelanin blocks UV-B more effectively, but once D3 is produced and metabolized, the sulfation, storage, and recycling pathways work similarly Lighter skin can build up stores faster with less UV-B exposure, but if circadian rhythms or metabolic health are poor, they can burn through or fail to mobilize those stores just as easily This is such a game changing and refreshing narrative involving Vitamin D3 acquisition and storage
