\nOf course excessive sunburn causes inflammation and that will release iron which will cause oxidation. But no one reading this forum is stupid enough to get sunburnt. Part of the trouble with excessive sun exposure is the UVA processes on newly made vitamin D3 into suprasterols the body doesn\'t use. So short sessions in the sun/tanning bed when the UVB concentration is highest so you get maximum UVB (VITAMIN D FORMATION) and a lower percentage of UVA. (Vitamin D degrading). Trouble with urban life is the UVA is reflected from hard surfaces and tends to be amplified while the UVB is prevented from reaching the ground by low level ozone/atmospheric pollution. If you live in the country things are a bit better.

\nI\'d be tempted to massage vitamin D directly from the capsule into the skin if I had a cold sore or shingles. If anyone had tried this please report back here. \r\n \r\n | \r\n

Interesting...

\nShingle sufferers are advised against eating foods high in Lysine, and to avoid sun, not sun burnt. My own experience, and that of others, both with Shingles and high level of ROS, is that some of us can\'t even tolerate 15 mins of gentle morning sun... I started researching on this, and found a paper explaining exactly the physiological effects of sun (not sunburnt) effects on some.
https://health.msn.com/health-topics/...d-sun-exposure I can\'t find the research paper at this time, but will post when I find.
\n\nAS for Vit D3, each time I take this, it brings on an attack of shingles and increases my allergies. Again, I researched and found published scientific papers regarding this. This is an earlier hypo,
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2794851/\nbut there are more recent ones showing clear evidence of a correlation:
\n
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...tool=pmcentrez\nI will post more recent papers on this when I find them.
\n
\nI will find the paper about the sun making some very ill due to a high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the radiation for the sun, no matter how minimal will increase oxidative stress.
\n
\nI was told by someone that each time certain types of foods or drank beer, they had joint pains. He did not suffer from gout, but suffered from a severe reaction to a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. I did too... Upon further readings, I found out that some people, more so amongst floxies (fluoroquinolones victim) community, suffer various sensitivies, sometimes, unexplainable by a forever evolving science, in this case, it was associated with the purine compound found in beer and some foods.
\n
\nI am allergic to salt post the adverse reactions to prescribed antibiotics, another med and vaccines. I found out that this was quite common, even though the scientific community does not understand it. Likewise, some are allergic to their own gastric juices, or saliva or other.
\n
\nIn a nutshell, we are very complex. Science is lacking, is limited and reductionist in its approach. Biochemistry is very complicated, and extraneous variables such as ethnicity, weight, gender, diet, body temperature, etc.. and complex cellular network, makes reactions to the environment, xenobiotics etc.. unpredictable.
\n
\nThroughout being ill since the adverse reactions to prescribed medications, I met many who suffer from various symptoms, and illnesses, for which there are only theories, which allopathic medicine has no cure. IMHO, Western medicine is far too dogmatic in its approach, with vested interests from Big Pharma, hindering advances in true science.
\n
\nRecently, there has been a petition on line by ethical scientists, asking the public to sign the petition asking governmental health officials and Big Pharma to allow for true science without interference.
\n
\nThere are often contradictory theories, sometimes, can be found within a few weeks apart.
\n
\nLikewise, medical students from Harvard University and more recently in Australia went on strike in protest of vested interests from Big Pharma. They complained that they want to learn true science, to heal and cure disease without the influence of skewed research from Big Pharma.
\n
\nAlthough I attach very little importance to medical research and theories, they can be useful at times.
\n
\nLastly, noted is a rise in environmental illnesses suppressed by International Health Institutions and national health institutions because of vested interests. I am more interested in listening to patients and their symptoms, even if we don\'t understand, rather than rely solely on theories.
\n
\nMore ethical doctors recognize that overall, most illnesses are caused by toxicities and nutritional deficiencies, few are taking note...
\n
\nIndeed, I met many who cured of incurable diseases, using other approaches other than the allopathic model. Few know that antibiotics are immune suppresants and are known to reactivate infectious pathogens, notably, HHV-6, CMV, and EBV (mono) or can cause hyperinsulemia, diabetes, sudden cardiac deaths etc.. sometimes, two years later, or more. Toxicities are in fact much higher than reported because of delayed onset, and most don\'t make a correlation.
\n
\nI read times and times again, that so called miracle drugs some years later have a strong association with onset of diseases and in some cases, death. For instance, anti arrythmic drugs, and Tamoxifen, the wonder cancer drug. The list goes on an on.
\n
\nI can honestly say, that since taking responsibility for my own health, literally saved my life on more than on occasions.
