Can People Reverse / Reduce MS Symptoms With Sunlight
“Stay out of the sun,” has been the mantra of dermatologist for decades. Fear of cancer has caused many of us to stay clear of the sun. But if you think about it, sunlight is the lifeblood of almost every living animal organism on the planet. We thrived in the sun for millions of years yet suddenly it’s now our enemy?
Granted too much exposure, to anything, can be bad for you. And not enough exposure for many things can be just as bad. An “all-or-nothing” approach may be our undoing.
We know that sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D. Several decades ago we didn’t fully understand the importance of vitamin D. In reality it’s not actually a vitamin but a hormone that doctor’s now know plays a critical role with regard to our immune system. Most physicians believe that a dysfunctional immune system is the underlying cause of MS.
We’ve known for a very long time that the sun’s rays and Vitamin D can play a role in managing MS. A new study, that focuses on the effects of the sun’s rays on people showing early signs of the disease, may shed light on how the disease progresses or how it may be stymied by naturally boosting the level of vitamin D in the body. The primary purpose of the study is to determine how sunlight and Vitamin D may influence the early signs or “precursor-symptoms” of the encroaching disease.
Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to determine how exposure to the sun might affect the outcome with regard to the prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis. Trying to determine if sunlight can actually prevent the disease would take a lifetime of observing candidates who have yet to show sign or even the precursors to the disease.
However, what we do know is that MS is less prevalent the closer we get to the equator. Sunny climates with year-round access to long days of sunlight have a much lower rate of MS than those that have less direct sunlight such as northern Europe.
MS sunlight and vitamin D presents a perplexing dilemma. Do I have to choose between MS or possible skin cancer? If properly managed neither should be an issue. Doctors who recommend getting you vitamin D the way humans have done since the beginning, recommend that you do it smartly. For many, 10 to 15 minutes a day several times a week will supply the vitamin D that you need. If you have darker skin you may need to spend more time in the sun to reap the benefits.
If you are concerned about sun exposure you can always look to supplements as a source of vitamin D.
So should you acquire more sunlight to counteract MS from setting in? I guess that’s the million dollar question. I for one think that exposure to the sun is important as it does provide us with vitamin D. Taking a holistic and more natural approach will likely benefit us in the long run.
