russ59dd User ID: 5045374 United States 03/16/2020 08:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | After a diagnosis of Tuberculosis, Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau left the city and went to the mountains...the Adirondacks of New York State, in 1873. By 1876 he was fully cured and moved his family to Saranac Lake and built a TB treating hospital there that cured thousands of people. His 'cure cottages' were also built around the town and had these basic characteristics for the treatment … an open porch and a sun porch. So there was some basis for the way people tried to fight the 1918 flu. Fresh air (the high elevation of the Adks with the balsan, cedar, spruce infused air is one of the best places in the NE) and sunlight. Worked miracles. The Trudeau Institiute, cure cottages and museum are still in Saranac Lake NY. |

I guess if you return home in the evening, you leave them outside the whole night. Ostria |

I've been telling people to load up on D3. Not vitamin C. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75133552 Lol, this is all I hear over and over again about sunlight. Saying sunlight increases D3 is like food increases calories. There are so many incredible benefits to sunlight exposure, if it was the D3 that mattered, taking a supplement would confer you the same benefits. It doesn't. Sunlight boosts all hormonal, immune, and neurotransmitter activity. Sunlight directly on the testicles, for instance, has been shown to boost testosterone levels DRASTICALLY, time and time again. It speeds up your metabolism, tunes your circadian rhythm, improves sleep dramatically, which in turn increases your endogenous levels of growth hormone you endogenous release of melatonin and serotonin, increases your production of dopamine, lowers cortisol. Some of you who have taken tropical vacations and/or spent time in the outdoors, exposing your skin for prolonged periods of time will notice you aren't getting fatter, your sleeping better, you aren't feeling stress the same way, your sex drive is boosted etc, etc Next time I am at the beach I should get my boys out and let them sun? Who knew? Sun burned nutsack will boost the old T. |

This is becaue TB User ID: 78564464 United Kingdom 03/16/2020 09:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is not Covid-19 that is dangerous, but a Tuberculosis type membraneless bacterium. This is why air and sun help. This is also why it responds to antibiotics and not to antivirals. Because in people who get bad symptoms and/or die, it happens because of this bacteria. Covid19 just happened to be there too. Like firefighters at a fire. They did not cause any of the deaths or bad illness. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78629403 India 03/16/2020 11:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This article lines up with a story my great-grandmother always told me. She said when my great-grandfather came home from WWI, he found his mother and some of his siblings in their family home dying of the flu. He opened all of the windows in the house and nursed them back to health. I always wondered why she included that specific part about opening the windows as the main part of the story... Quoting: Daniel Higdon But records from the 1918 pandemic suggest one technique for dealing with influenza — little-known today — was effective. Some hard-won experience from the greatest pandemic in recorded history could help us in the weeks and months ahead. Put simply, medics found that severely ill flu patients nursed outdoors recovered better than those treated indoors. A combination of fresh air and sunlight seems to have prevented deaths among patients; and infections among medical staff. There is scientific support for this. Research shows that outdoor air is a natural disinfectant. Fresh air can kill the flu virus and other harmful germs. Equally, sunlight is germicidal and there is now evidence it can kill the flu virus. [link to www.zerohedge.com (secure)] The article also mentions sunlight and vitamin D (which I have seen recommended as a supplement to take that may help fight off the virus). Also discusses the homemade face masks that they made back then which were the forerunners of the N95 respirators in use today. Dude that was 1918 With todays pollution levels if you open the Window. It will kill you faster. |

Of course, it never gets below freezing. My body must instinctively know that. I never get cold with lots of blankets. |

I personally recommend 3 packs of Camels a day. You are all fucking brainwashed if you think sunlight causes skin cancer. Look at skin cancer rates. The further from the equator you get, the higher they go. Every dry land mammal evolved under direct, regular exposure to sunlight. You have to be a fucking retard to compare that to smoking tobacco. What DOES cause skin cancer? Avoiding sunlight seven months out of the year, then sitting on a beach with no conditioning to your skin in June. SunBURNS cause skin cancer. Even fair skinned people, if they are regularly exposed to sunlight, will not burn. |

Who knew? Sun burned nutsack will boost the old T. Yep. If you ever want to grow into the man God intended you to be, you will find a space in your yard where you won't be metooed and sun those precious gems! Global T rates are plummeting because of estrogens in the water supply, because of low-fat diet trends, because of lack of exercise, but primarily, it's a lack of sunlight. Sunning your sack, or using a red LED an inch from the old script is scientifically proven to give your T levels a nice boost. |
