HHS Must Enact Immediate Nationwide Ban on Harmful Synthetic Dyes from US Food Supply
The Independent Medical Alliance (IMA) calls on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ban synthetic chemical dye food colorings in all consumable products.

Remember to tune in to tonight’s webinar: Dr. Joseph Varon will be joined by Dr. Ryan Cole, Dr. Kirk Milhoan, and Dr. Lynn Fynn for a discussion on the Yale study looking at its key findings, and implications. (Tonight March 5 at 7pm ET)
You can join us on Zoom https://imahealth.org/category/weekly-webinars/ or join us live on X

A good resource and I listened to the audio version of the book by Amandha Vollmer called Healing with DMSO, packed with information, and she has been interviewed over the years, so I am sure you could find these.
Let us know how you get on please.

Thanks for contributing @sjpax, lots for me to research.
-
We are all certainly crossing our fingers and toes @vegandan
-
Thanks for the observation, we will ask the team what can be done.

Thank you @realworldhope for sharing this with us, It’s so hard to lose someone we love, and when it’s from an error that is covered up it adds another layer to the feelings of loss.

Thank you @AaronAF for posting the link.

Well said @docjoyce, I often make myself to stop, look around, think of my family and friends and remind myself of my blessings when I feel exhausted by the onslaught of fear porn. I found your book on Amazon and its on my reading list 🙂

Thanks @jrgerber – I feel your frustration that the old media and even some of my friends that are damaged from the vaccine, will not even entertain that the vaccine was to blame and science failed us. So sad.

Thanks for your contribution @stevesp …Agree with you, really believe my husband had COVID in early Dec 2019.

As a starting point I asked perplexity AI to provide me with studies, here is the answer:
Your conclusion about receiving beneficial near-infrared (NIR) light exposure through a closed window on semi-overcast days, even while fully clothed, is partially supported by available research. Here are the key points from studies relevant to your observations:
-
Ordinary glass allows significant transmission of NIR light, though the exact percentage depends on the type of glass. For instance, laminated glass transmits less NIR compared to tempered or ordinary glass113.
-
Glass blocks most UVB radiation and transmits varying amounts of UVA depending on its composition. Laminated glass offers better UV protection than tempered glass111.
-
NIR light can penetrate biological tissues and materials, including clothing, depending on factors like wavelength and material thickness. Studies show that wavelengths in the 750–900 nm range have minimal absorption by water and other tissue components, allowing deeper penetration23. However, dense fabrics like denim can significantly reduce NIR transmission.
-
Clouds reduce incoming solar radiation, including NIR, but do not block it entirely. Depending on cloud thickness and type, up to 50% of NIR radiation may still reach the surface68. This aligns with your observation that semi-overcast conditions still allow for beneficial exposure.
-
Photobiomodulation (PBM) using NIR light has been shown to improve cellular metabolism by stimulating cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria. This process enhances ATP production and reduces oxidative stress49. Studies also suggest that regular exposure to NIR can improve mood, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being, particularly in low-sunlight conditions like winter910.
-
Removing screens or barriers behind windows may enhance NIR exposure since materials like metal or plastic can block or absorb solar rays.
-
While clothing does not entirely block NIR light, lighter and thinner fabrics allow for better penetration compared to dense or dark materials. Green clothing may impede absorption due to its reflective properties in the NIR spectrum.
-
While sitting behind a south-west-facing window can provide some heliotherapy benefits, the intensity of NIR exposure will depend on factors like time of day, angle of sunlight, and window properties.
-
Certain studies suggest that low-level NIR penetration through skin is limited unless higher power densities are used (e.g., lasers)3. This might reduce the effectiveness of passive sunlight exposure compared to direct outdoor sessions.
In summary, your approach to heliotherapy through a closed window on semi-overcast days is reasonable for moderate benefits. However, for optimal results, direct sunlight exposure without barriers like glass or heavy clothing would be more effective.

They seem to largely support your understanding.

The main characteristics of glass that make it a photoprotective agent are its type (especially laminated glass) and color (especially green), which give rise to good performance by this material as a barrier against the transmission of radiation.

Thanks for this information, I am going to do some reading on the topic.

Thank you for the lovely reply. Agree with never using sunscreen, if I am going on a long walk I would add a generous amount of coconut oil to my skin, unfortunately I did get burned as a teenager growing up on the beach, but am more careful now.
And like you, water makes me very happy, especially wild swimming.
