Winter Healing
As winter draws closer there is an opportunity to renew our health through the re-balance of the yearly cycle.
In his book "Lights Off" by T.S.Wiley, he discusses the healing effects of the winter night. His research indicated that during the summer the long days of light influence the blood and brain chemistry of our bodies. These long days of light lead the body to crave sugar and carbohydrates. This increases the sugar content of the blood, increase cholesterol, causes weight gain, and generally prepares for winter. This is perfectly normal.
The high sugar in the blood helps keep the blood from freezing during the cold winter. Cholesterol helps build the fat we need when all the food is covered by snow. If our caveman ancestors didn't have these they didn't make it through the winter. We are the offspring of the survivors.
As winter comes we need to allow our bodies to get about 10 hours of darkness each day during November, December, January, and February to reverse the bodies preparations. With the dankness we will not crave carbs, because our bodies know there is nothing around but snow outside the cave. Our blood sugar is corrected, cholesterol drops, and fat reserve are used up. If you want to put down the bag of potato chips, turn out the light and the craving will stop. This includes reduced mental activity too. So no computer or TV for the 10 hour period. Maybe a fireplace video would be OK.
In his research he found that deer populations exhibit all these body corrections. The deer population lost weight even when there was ample food around. They did not crave to eat and even corrected pre-cancerous conditions. The deer were exposed to the normal lenghtened period of darkness of winter.
Humans don't because we turn on the lights, we go into endless summer, and eventually we need hospitalization. Endless summer where our bodies prepare for winter year after year. Our blood sugar stays high, there is no rest to self correct the body.
During trials with two control groups of hospitalized patients he returned 36% back to health by including dark additional to their other costly treatments. The cost of additional dark---zero dollars. These patients had type 2 diabeties, obesity, high cholesterol, all the normal preparations our bodies take before winter. These symptoms reversed with 10 hours of darkness a day during the winter months.
Ever wonder why chemo works some time? Maybe because it makes people sick, ruins them financially, they go to bed earlier and get a longer dark period.
He believed that from these controlled studies 72% could benefit. No hospital will allow 72% of its patient to get well. His research was banned in several hospitals. Wiley's research was prohibited from even being read, on punishment of immediate dismissal.
The advice is that if you add dark during the winter, many health conditions will correct themselves.
