Many believe that sunlight exposure has harmful effects, yet recent evidence suggests that sunlight may improve immune function. Beyond its ability to increase vitamin D levels in your body, researchers have demonstrated that sunlight can improve the motility of infection-fighting immune cells and discourage the spread of pathogens in hospital environments
Recent studies have indicated that sunlight exposure may have immunomodulatory effects and protect against infections, including acute respiratory infections such as influenza.[i]
Additionally, studies have shown that high levels of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure are associated with lowered rates of allergies, autoimmune diseases and cancers.[ii],[iii] While these results are often attributed to increases in vitamin D, researchers have now demonstrated that sunlight exposure can improve immune function by improving the motility of killer T-cells.
In addition to these findings, researchers also point out that infectious outbreaks, including influenza, tend to happen more often during winter months when many people have little to no sunlight and UVR exposure.
Additional research from Columbia University suggests that UV light can kill even drug-resistant bacteria without inducing skin damage.[iv] Researchers believe there are two main facets that explain sunlight exposure’s effect on immune function:
Increased Levels of Vitamin D
Sunlight exposure is widely known to increase vitamin D levels in your body. Skin cells absorb UVB radiation during skin exposure and convert it to vitamin D, which is metabolized in your liver and kidneys and used throughout your body to regulate calcium, increase beta-endorphins and stimulate the immune system.[v]
A deficiency of this important vitamin is linked to an increased risk of cancer, heart disease, obesity, depression, cognitive impairment, and bacterial and viral infections.[vi] Unlike other essential vitamins, since vitamin D is synthesized in your skin following UVB exposure, sunlight exposure is vital for improving vitamin D levels and subsequently improving immune function.[vii],[viii] If regular sunlight exposure isn’t possible due to your climate or lifestyle, vitamin D supplementation may be useful.
Energization of Infection-Fighting T-Cells
Sunlight, particularly blue light and UV light contained in solar rays, energizes T-cells by triggering the production of hydrogen peroxide in these cells, which enhances their motility in the skin and improves their infection-fighting capabilities.[ix],[x]
Researchers theorize that the photosensitivity of T-cells may help to explain sunlight’s positive effect on immune function and suggest blue-light therapy as a possible therapy for immuno-compromised patients.[xi]
In addition to these immune-boosting effects, researchers have found that sunlight may reduce the risk of infection in health care environments, as the majority of airborne microbes that cause infection cannot tolerate sunlight and are especially susceptible to direct (rather than diffused) sunlight.[xii]
Researchers theorize that time-cues from sunlight help to regulate biological rhythms, which may enhance immune function.[xiii] Additionally, they suggest that hospitals and health care facilities be designed to allow sunlight to reach occupants, as even sunlight through glass may discourage the survival and spread of pathogens.[xiv]
Additional Benefits of Sunlight Exposure
In addition to improving immune function, sunlight exposure is linked to a wide range of health benefits, including:
Increases Vitamin D Levels
High levels of vitamin D are important for improving inflammatory response, lowering blood pressure, increasing cognitive function and lowering the risk for certain cancers.[xv],[xvi] Researchers estimate that sunlight exposure accounts for 90% of most individual’s vitamin D levels,[xvii] so if you’re not getting much sunlight exposure, you’re likely deficient.
Heals Skin Disorders
Various skin disorders, including eczema, psoriasis, acne and pityriasis rosea, improve through regular sunlight exposure.[xviii],[xix],[xx]
Improves Melatonin Production
Sun exposure improves melatonin production, a pineal hormone responsible for triggering your body’s circadian rhythms and improving quality of sleep.[xxi] Melatonin also plays a key role in inflammation and infection and suppresses UVR-induced skin damage.[xxii]
May Improve Weight Loss
Animal studies have found that ongoing, low-level exposure to UV radiation can reduce weight gain and improve cardiovascular health in subjects fed a high-fat diet,[xxiii] perhaps by reducing certain aspects of metabolic dysfunction.
Provides Emotional Health Benefits
Ongoing, low-level exposure to sunlight is associated with improved mental health. In various studies, participants with depression and seasonal affective disorder experienced improved moods after sunlight therapy.[xxiv] Additionally, researchers have demonstrated that increased levels of vitamin D can improve depression and other mental disorders.[xxv]
Improves Cognitive Function
Recent studies have found a correlation between high levels of vitamin D and improved cognitive function.[xxvi]
Additionally, researchers have demonstrated that long-term, high levels of sun exposure are associated with better cognitive functioning, possibly because of the protective effect vitamin D has on brain cells and an increased production of serotonin and melatonin and improved circadian rhythms.[xxvii],[xxviii],[xxix]
The potential for sunlight exposure therapy is vast, and it’s an affordable, natural and easily attainable way to improve immune function while boasting a wide range of additional benefits.

Greville Janner was a big proponent of the Holohoax throughout his life, and insisted that the old age and senility was no reason not to prosecute ex-“Nazis”, but then when he was being investigated for being a child rapist, all of a sudden he could not be held accountable because all of a sudden he had lost his cognitive faculties. Even though there was all the evidence in the world from over the years that Lord Janner was raping boys, the British jewdicial system refused to take action.

The Blind Spots of Mainstream ‘Holocaust Research’
A Review
By Germar Rudolf
Published: 2003-11-01
Harry James Cargas (ed.), Problems Unique to the Holocaust, University of Kentucky Press, Lexington 2003, pb, 198 pp., $19.95
Are there any problems that are unique to the ‘Holocaust’? Asking this question in a revisionist periodical seems to be a bad joke. But when mainstream scholars use this question as the title for a collection of essays, hope arises that finally they might understand that there are some unique problems with the ‘Holocaust,’ indeed.
To cut this review short: no, they don’t get it. Rather than addressing any of the real problems of the ‘Holocaust’ – lack of physical and documentary evidence, evidence refuting or contradicting many claims, unreliability, false, and contradictory witness accounts, suppression of research, researchers, and research results, monopolization of the entire dispute – all the fourteen authors can do is to philosophize over moral dilemmas allegedly experienced by ‘Holocaust survivors’ who might have made arrangements with their suppressors and ‘Holocaust’ perpetrators in order to survive, or who made other morally ambiguous decisions. “Can Betrayal Ever Be Legitimate?”, “The Moral Dilemma of Motherhood in the Nazi Death Camps”, “Holocaust Victims of Privilege”, “Suicides or Murders?”, “Holocaust Suicides”, “Indifferent Accomplices”, “Reflections of Post-Holocaust Ethics”… This excerpt of headlines of some of the papers presented in this volume indicates that moral navel gazing of ‘Holocaust victims’ and their fan community is the main focus of this book.
Thus, contrary to what one might hope, this book is not solving any problems unique to the ‘Holocaust,’ it is actually a part of the problem, and as such it is exacerbating the problem. The second paper by David Patterson, for example, spreads lies with its claim that an “order came from Berlin” that “No more jewish children are to be born.” (p. 11) Of course, there is no evidence for this, and the fact that many babies were born and left alive in Auschwitz is evidence enough that this is not true. But this entire paper is built upon this lie: “in Birkenau maternal love was a capital crime” (p. 13). On pages 15-17, the author tells some atrocious fairy tales about Joseph Mengele. On page 12, Patterson quotes from a jew’s diary:
“This murderous German nation! That [killing pregnant jewish women] was their chief joy!”
This quotation goes uncommented, leaving a stench of anti-Germanism in the air.
The only headline which raised hopes to address a real problem – “Is Objectivity Morally Defensible in Discussing the Holocaust?” by Robert S. Frey – is also a disappointment. I wrongly hoped to find questions like ‘Is it morally defensible to discuss victim numbers, murder methods, exact circumstances of suffering, credibility of witness accounts, etc.?’ What Frey does discuss in his essay is merely the question if medical experiments with involuntary human guinea pigs should be permissible. Since I cannot imagine anybody answering this with yes, I wonder why this needs to be discussed in the first place.
Dogmatic opposition against revisionism flares up at several instances in this book. For instance, in his essay about “Intruding on Private Grief,” Hunter defends the necessity that non-survivors must not be allowed to critically write about the ‘survivors’ experiences:
“Shoah […] needs that common discourse if, for example, the lies of the deniers are to be countered. […] if we reject our common discourse, […] we lose the moral grounds upon which to deny the deniers their […] claim to ‘equal time’ and a ‘fair hearing.’” (pp. 127.)
Isn’t that fantastic? They claim moral superiority due to the fact that they guarantee a discourse with ‘survivors,’ only to take this moral superiority then as a justification to deny the same discourse with those harboring dissenting views, as “fair hearing” is just another word for discourse.
Another morally superior author is Leon Stein, who defends the right of christians to be ‘Holocaust’ scholars – which seems to be necessary, as most scholars are jewish and view non-jews with suspicion, as Stein claims (pp. 135-151). One argument used by him to buy an entry ticket into the prosperous field of ‘Holocaust studies’ runs as follows:
“Christian participation in Holocaust scholarship and teaching provides a dramatic refutation of Holocaust deniers […]. Christians are passionately opposed to denial […].” (p. 149)
What an academic prostitute! Hence, this book is nothing more than another superfluous waste paper product churned out by screwed-up minds of the Holocaust Industry. A perfect waste of time, money, resources, and energy.

renegadetribune--2020-08-08--UPitt Prof Stripped Of Position After Questioning Affirmative Action In Admissions

This week I testified in the Senate about the erosion of free speech and academic freedom in our universities where professors are being punished or even fired for expressing viewpoints that challenge a new orthodoxy on our campuses , particularly with regard to racial and political issues .
The latest example can be found this week at the University of Pittsburgh , which has removed Associate Professor of Medicine Norman Wang from his position as Program Director of the Electrophysiology Fellowship .
The removal was in direct response to Wang publishing an article in a peer-reviewed journal that questioned the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ admissions .
The action raises serious concerns over both free speech and academic freedom .
The only thing more unsettling than the actions of the university was the relative silence of his colleagues throughout the University of Pittsburgh as he was punished for expressing his academic views .
In the white paper in the Journal of the American Heart Association , Wang wrote : “ Racial and ethnic preferences at both the undergraduate and professional school levels for blacks and Hispanics result in relatively weak academic starting positions in classes .
This has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through compounding ‘ academic mismatch , ’ stress‐related interference , and disengagement .
Many do not complete their intended programs or do not attain academic success to be attractive candidates for subsequent educational programs or employment… ” “ We will have succeeded when we no longer think we require black doctors for black patients , chicano doctors for chicano patients , or gay doctors for gay patients , but rather good doctors for all patients.
’ Evolution to strategies that are neutral to race and ethnicity is essential .
Ultimately , all who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cardiology must be assessed as individuals on the basis of their personal merits , not their racial and ethnic identities… ” According to MedPage Today , the Journal announced that it was reevaluating the paper and Editor Barry London , MD , PhD , attached an apology to the paper , saying JAHA “ will support all efforts to correct this error , including but not limited to the publication of alternate viewpoints , which we solicited at the time of publication but have not yet been submitted to the journal .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our peer review system to prevent future missteps of this type.
” I am not in a position to judge the merits of the entire paper .
However , Wang was expressing his academic view and defending that view with what he considered to be supporting data .
He is challenging commonly held positions to be sure in writing such things as : The pledge to publish “ alternative viewpoints ” is a good one .
That is what academic debate and free speech is all about .
However , the report that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his positions is deeply disturbing .
There must be room for debate over the efficacy and basis for affirmative action in our schools .
Wang clearly does not support such programs , at least to the degree that they have been used in admissions .
It is a view that is consistent with some of the members of the Supreme Court in cases like Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action ( 2014 ) and Regents of the University of California v. Bakke ( 1978 ) .
Yet , Wang has been apparently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Director of the Electrophysiology Fellowship .
Once again , I am less concerned with the merits of the debate as I am the right to have such a debate .
The action taken against Wang clearly sends a signal that such unpopular views will not be tolerated .
The “ reevaluation ” orders by the Journal also raises the concern that the type of cringing compliance that we saw recently at the New York Times is now invading our academic journals .
While the UPitt handbook is relatively understated in its expression of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declare in Article II that “ Autonomy and freedom of inquiry are required for the University to carry out its mission.
” Simply because Professor Wang does not endorse the use of affirmative action in admissions does not mean that those views impact his treatment of students or countermand any university policies .
Indeed , he presented his views for debate in a respected academic journal .
The objection is not that he is right in these views but that he has a right to express them without punishment or retaliation .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jonathan Turley ,

This week I testified in the Senate about the erosion of free speech and academic freedom in our universities where professors are being punished or even fired for expressing viewpoints that challenge a new orthodoxy on our campuses, particularly with regard to racial and political issues. The latest example can be found this week at the University of Pittsburgh, which has removed Associate Professor of Medicine Norman Wang from his position as Program Director of the Electrophysiology Fellowship.
The removal was in direct response to Wang publishing an article in a peer-reviewed journal that questioned the use of affirmative action in medical schools admissions. The action raises serious concerns over both free speech and academic freedom. The only thing more unsettling than the actions of the university was the relative silence of his colleagues throughout the University of Pittsburgh as he was punished for expressing his academic views.
In the white paper in the Journal of the American Heart Association, Wang wrote:
“Racial and ethnic preferences at both the undergraduate and professional school levels for blacks and Hispanics result in relatively weak academic starting positions in classes. This has been postulated to lead to poor performance through compounding ‘academic mismatch,’ stress‐related interference, and disengagement. Many do not complete their intended programs or do not attain academic success to be attractive candidates for subsequent educational programs or employment…” “We will have succeeded when we no longer think we require black doctors for black patients, chicano doctors for chicano patients, or gay doctors for gay patients, but rather good doctors for all patients.’ Evolution to strategies that are neutral to race and ethnicity is essential. Ultimately, all who aspire to a profession in medicine and cardiology must be assessed as individuals on the basis of their personal merits, not their racial and ethnic identities…”
According to MedPage Today, the Journal announced that it was reevaluating the paper and Editor Barry London, MD, PhD, attached an apology to the paper, saying JAHA “will support all efforts to correct this error, including but not limited to the publication of alternate viewpoints, which we solicited at the time of publication but have not yet been submitted to the journal. In addition, we will work to improve our peer review system to prevent future missteps of this type.”
I am not in a position to judge the merits of the entire paper. However, Wang was expressing his academic view and defending that view with what he considered to be supporting data. He is challenging commonly held positions to be sure in writing such things as:
“There exists no empirical evidence by accepted standards for causal inference to support the mantra that ‘diversity saves lives.’”
The pledge to publish “alternative viewpoints” is a good one. That is what academic debate and free speech is all about. However, the report that Wang has been stripped of one of his positions is deeply disturbing. There must be room for debate over the efficacy and basis for affirmative action in our schools. Wang clearly does not support such programs, at least to the degree that they have been used in admissions. It is a view that is consistent with some of the members of the Supreme Court in cases like Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action (2014) and Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978).
Yet, Wang has been apparently been removed from his position as Program Director of the Electrophysiology Fellowship.
Once again, I am less concerned with the merits of the debate as I am the right to have such a debate. The action taken against Wang clearly sends a signal that such unpopular views will not be tolerated. The “reevaluation” orders by the Journal also raises the concern that the type of cringing compliance that we saw recently at the New York Times is now invading our academic journals.
While the UPitt handbook is relatively understated in its expression of support for academic freedom, it does declare in Article II that “Autonomy and freedom of inquiry are required for the University to carry out its mission.” Simply because Professor Wang does not endorse the use of affirmative action in admissions does not mean that those views impact his treatment of students or countermand any university policies. Indeed, he presented his views for debate in a respected academic journal. The objection is not that he is right in these views but that he has a right to express them without punishment or retaliation.

As awareness increases about the growing problem of pollution , single-use plastics have come under for their massive contribution to rampant litter all around the world .
But soon , we may be drinking soft drinks and beer from “ all-plant ” bottles , if new plans from major beverage makers come to fruition .
Under a new plan being spearheaded by Danish beer manufacturer Carlsberg and multinational food and beverage titans Coca-Cola and Danone , a new plant-based plastic created from sugars extracted from sustainably-grown plants would replace fossil fuel-based plastics , reports The Guardian .
chemical company Avantium @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pioneering project in hopes that it can permanently reshape the manner in which beverages are packaged .
According to Avantium CEO Tom van Aken , the company is trying to kick-start investment in a revolutionary new bioplastic plant in the Netherlands that would open by year ’ s end .

chemical company Avantium has devised plans to kick off the pioneering project in hopes that it can permanently reshape the manner in which beverages are packaged.
According to Avantium CEO Tom van Aken, the company is trying to kick-start investment in a revolutionary new bioplastic plant in the Netherlands that would open by year’s end.
The company has already made a significant step toward reaching the goal with the early endorsement of the brewery giant Carlsberg Group, which plans to soon sell its pilsner in cardboard bottles lined on the inside with the plant plastic.
The world's first 'paper bottle' for beer?!? Carlsberg has unveiled two new prototypes of a green fibre bottle, which they say is fully recyclable and 100% bio-based 😲 It's not currently on sale, but what are your thoughts? 🍺 📸: Carlsberg pic.twitter.com/KHMCnLtMP2 — Money Saving Expert (@MoneySavingExp) October 15, 2019
The company’s bio-refinery would break down sustainable plant sugars sourced from corn, wheat, or beets into basic chemical structures that would then be rearranged to form the new plant-based plastic.
The company hopes to eventually move away from the use of raw food materials and eventually shift to using plant sugars derived from sustainably sourced bio-waste, ensuring that global food supply chains aren’t negatively impacted by the increased adoption of plant plastic.
According to Avantium, its plant plastic is strong enough to contain carbonated drinks. The plant plastic would decompose in only one year using a composter and a few years longer if it is left outdoors, according to trials. However, Van Aken notes that it should be recycled. The chief executive added:
“This plastic has very attractive sustainability credentials because it uses no fossil fuels, and can be recycled – but would also degrade in nature much faster than normal plastics do.”
Our PEF is a 100% plant-based, 100% recyclable plastic with superior performance properties compared to today’s widely used petroleum-based packaging materials. #circulareconomy https://t.co/9XmrAaceBT — Avantium (@Avantium) April 30, 2020
Over the past decade, there have been increasing worries on a global scale about the growing problem of plastics and microplastics, which have inundated the world’s oceans and water supplies, leaching carcinogenic toxins and chemicals into the marine environment, with plastic drink containers trapping and confining – and ultimately killing – marine wildlife.
The pollution has reached such massive proportions that an estimated 100 million tons of plastic can now be found in the oceans, according to the UN. Between 80 and 90 per cent of it comes from land-based sources.

However, while petroleum-based plastics have many benefits, they’ve also created a major burden on future generations by instilling consumers with a “throwaway” culture that has seen and single-use disposables largely displace durable, reusable, and washable products, contributing to the vicious cycle of increased plastic waste and pollution.
