1. "Did you know that two-thirds of the energy our bodies require come from light, while only one-third comes from food." I didn't know this but for myself it makes total sense, and I am glad you stated this. Also, Roman, I think--and if I am wrong, forgive me--that most people don't get hardly, if any Sunshine, and if they do, they use very toxic sunscreen which blocks the UV light they need to synthesize the Vitamin D and Melatonin.
2. "We may make serotonin in our gut, but digestion begins in our skin and eyes." I love this! Yes, absolutely.
3. An awesome bit of new details to explore . . . "We have another cave called the substantia nigra, which in Latin means “black substance.” This area of our brain is coated with a dark pigment called neuromelanin. Neuromelanin, like the melanin of our skin, is an electronic circuit that works by absorbing light. Neuromelanin absorbs infrared light, whereas the melanin of our skin absorbs UV." I will look further into to this. I followed the link to the references from Dr. Stephani Senoff and to your article "The Darkest Corner of your Brain Needs Light".
As I mentioned in my email a few days ago, food with bright colors, helps the skin too. The DHA and EPA are good, but many people can't get the fish fresh or just can't get it at all. Sun people especially with lily white skin, when we come to the tropics, can adapt and protect their skin from the Sun when they eat the brightly colored fruit high in Vitamin C and beta carotene. Our body converts beta carotene rich foods to Vitamin A, which helps the liver and kidneys during the steps of the conversion of the UV light to Vitamin D. It also helps us absorb Vitamin D properly. The bright colored phyto-nutrients are essential to protect the skin and the eyes.
One more tidbit to share: skin cancer isn't from the Sun. I have found that it is the toxicity in the blood. The Sun pulls the toxins, especially sugar and alcohol, and bad PUFAs out of skin, also drugs and hormones, and these fermented toxins infect the skin, causing skin cancer. . . This is my own observation while living in the tropics and working with many toxic people with skin cancer. . . . If the blood is clean, you can't get skin cancer from the Sun.
Here are the points that inspire my thinking:
