Aluminum in sunscreen is very toxic. Rate of skin melanoma has been going up in step with increased use of sunscreen. Glyphosate may be disrupting precursors to melanin, thereby increasing the likelihood of turning red instead of tanning Aastha Jain Simes: "One of your recommendations is get out in the sun, get more sunlight, because sulfate is produced in your body, […] and of course for other benefits as well. But what about the worries around skin cancer? You also mentioned you shouldn't wear sunscreen. What about mineral-based sunscreen? Is that OK? […]" 42:08 Dr. Stephanie Seneff: "Yeah, I don't recommend sunscreen at all, and certainly not aluminum. There's a lot of sunscreens that contain aluminum, and that aluminum will absorb through your skin, and that's going to also mess up your enzymes. Aluminum is very toxic. It's actually interesting that the rate of melanoma in the skin has been going up over time in step with increased use of sunscreen. So if you think sunscreen is protecting you from melanoma, why is the rate going up? It doesn't make any sense. "I think part of the problem is the glyphosate, and part of the reason there is the melanin, because melanin is one of the many biologically active molecules that comes out of that shikimate pathway that glyphosate disrupts. So the microbes are making the precursors, which are those aromatic amino acids that I mentioned earlier, and those are precursors to melanin which is a skin tanning agent that naturally turns your skin dark when you're exposed to sunlight, and that is a fantastic natural protection that humans have if they have melanin. "But when the melanin becomes deficient, a lot of people say, 'Well, I get out in the sun, but I just turn red. I don't tan,' and I'm thinking, 'OK, glyphosate,' [laughs] I suspect. So part of the problem is because of glyphosate we're more sensitive, we have more problems with the sun causing damage, again because our own system is disrupted, and we're not able to use it properly the way it would be intended to protect us. I certainly think it's much better to just quiet slowly build up a tan during the spring so you can handle the summer sun without sunscreen. As long as you have a good tan you don't need sunscreen, in my opinion." Dr. Stephanie Seneff with Aastha Jain Simes @ 41:47–43:45 (posted 2024-05-30)

See the sunrise every single day of your life from today forward. When the sun sets make sure it stays as dark as possible in your world. If you do those two things right you will live a long, prosperous life Craig LeBlanc: "I did want you to maybe give like a fifth grade-level prescription to those that don't understand anything about the power that sunlight has over your health. Like in the earlier part of your story you had said the carnivore diet people, the workout people did not realize how important it was. So can you kind of break that down a little bit, maybe just start say, 'Look, basically you need to be outside for this many hours in the morning, in the evening, you know.'" Dr. Jack Kruse: "They can't start like that, because you just asked me to give you a centralized approach to decentralized medicine. I will never do that for you. This is about as easy as I can make it." Craig LeBlanc: "All right. Go ahead." Dr. Jack Kruse: "Think about 5,000 years ago. The ancient Egyptians built a monument at the 28th latitude that looks to the east, all four extremities grounded. It's called the Sphinx. Why did they do that? Why is their name of their god Ra named after the sun? Even the ancients knew there was something magical about the light from the sun. Every single ancient civilization, the Incas, the Aztecs, the Mayans, all of them, they knew the power of the sun. "What the powers to be today in the Western World want you to believe, they want you to believe Bill Gates, dermatologist, and ophthalmologist are right that we should block the sun. You know why they believe that? Because it creates profits for them. That is absolutely a shitcoin opinion. "So, what is the number one thing that bitcoiners need to do so that you can begin to protect your stack? This is better than self-custody, it's actually better than cold storage. It's called seeing the sunrise every single day of your life from today forward. If this is the first time you've ever heard this advice that's what you want to do. The second side of the coin is to make sure when the sun sets wherever you live, make sure that it stays as dark as possible in your world. If you do those two things right you will live a long, prosperous life with your family and your bitcoin. And then you can start to talk to BTC Sessions about self-custody and wallets and all that. But you need to get the story of sunrise and sunset absolutely correct to protect your health. It's that simple."

Darkness at night is really important. Sleeping just one night in a low-lit (10 lux) environment can impair melatonin production, impair sleep quality, increase insulin resistance markers, decrease HRV, increase fasting glucose. Reducing non-native EMF exposure at night important, too. How to reducing nnEMF exposure Shawn Stevenson: "Let's talk about darkness in relationship to our biology." Dr. Alexis Cowan: "Yeah. Our biology is a decentralized system, meaning there's not one centralized single controller. Light is not more important than dark, dark is not more important than light. They are equally important for regulating and co-controlling the system. […] Making that serotonin from getting bright, full-spectrum light during the day is going to tee you up to be able to make ample amounts of melatonin later because that serotonin actually […] gets converted into melatonin in the pineal gland, which then helps you go to sleep and get good quality sleep: […] deep sleep, REM, all the things. "So that darkness at night is really important, but most people don't sleep in dark environments. Some people, God forbid, sleep with the TV on or lights on. And there was a really powerful study that came out, I believe in 2021, that showed even very low levels of light in the sleeping environment, under 10 lux, are able to actually mess with your melatonin production and impair your sleep quality. And the next morning, the people who were exposed to even low levels of light had increased insulin resistance markers, decreased HRV, increased fasting glucose. That's from just a single night of sleeping in a low-lit light environment during sleep. Now, imagine if you do that every single night. You're literally fomenting mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance on a day-to-day basis. "The other thing I want to hone on here with regards to dark darkness at night is the light that we can't necessarily see with our eyes. That is also important. […] The light I'm referring to there is non-native EMF, which are primarily radio frequencies in the modern world, so this would be our Wi-Fi, 5G, Bluetooth, 4G, LTE, all those things. […] "Dr. Allan Frey's work showed that in the radio frequency range of like our 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth that you can actually open up the gut and blood-brain barriers, make them leaky. And then when you have these hyperpermeable membranes, we start to get things moving through these membranes that shouldn't be. So we get more systemic inflammation because now basically, our microbiomes become dysbiotic. We're getting leaking of lipotoxin and endotoxin from bacteria into the bloodstream, fomenting inflammation in the fat tissue and in the organs. With regards to the blood-brain barrier, that hyperpermeable blood brain-barriers is associated with brain fog, psychological mood disorders, cognitive decline, all of these things. […] "When it comes to non-native EMFs, the most important thing to understand is the inverse square law. This is a physics concept that basically says that the closer you are to a source of EMFs, the stronger the stimulus will be. So, whenever you can put some space in between you and the source, you're going to be benefiting yourself. So that would include putting your Wi-Fi router in a room you don't spend time in, or better yet, using Ethernet vs. Wi-Fi, not keeping your cell phone in your pocket, not putting your laptop on your lap, reducing proximity wherever you can. "And then wherever you can't, there's technology and stuff out there now that you can use to help mitigate those frequencies. So like EMF-blocking paint, curtains, clothing, like there's a lot out there. The best thing to do is reduce proximity, but when you can't, you can go these other options to try to block the frequencies."
