SUNLIGHT'S ABILITY TO STRENGTHEN THE BODY’S IMMUNE SYSTEM
It is now believed that disease can only occur when one fails to maintain the delicate balance of power between one's body and the organisms that produce disease. This is so, for we find people who are carrying within themselves the germs capable of causing an infection and yet they are apparently free of disease. Their body's immune System is strong enough to keep these organisms from growing and developing. Studies have shown that exposure to natural sunlight increases the number of white blood cells in the human blood. The white blood 28 cell that increases the most is the lymphocyte, which is the one that plays a leading role in defending the body against an invasion of germs. Because the lymphocytes increase in number after a sunlight treatment, antibodies, their products of defense, also increase in the blood (1) Ultraviolet light also has an effect on the deep internal organs. The pancreas, stomach, liver, kidneys, and adrenal glands are apparently benefited by sun light treatments seemingly due to the Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous System.
