How Light Influences Overall Health via the Eye, Pt. 3

This week's episode on The Red Light Report is the grand finale of the three-part solosode series about light and its influence on the "energetic portion" of our eyes. This rather old, yet profound information, comes from the research of German ophthalmologist Fritz Hollwich and other studies he collected from the late 1800s through the 1970s in his book, The Influence of Ocular Light Perception on Metabolism in Man and in Animal.We covered the following topics in last week's episode: light and body temperature, light and kidney function, light and blood count and light and metabolic functions. The research in these areas leave no doubt that we all possess another pathway in our eyes that leads to downstream effects in our physiology, for better and, certainly, for worse.This week, we will be learning the following topics: light and thyroid function, light and sexual function, light and adrenal and pituitary functions, natural sunlight and artificial fluorescent light, light pollution, and the importance of light in metabolism in man and animal: summary. The last three sections are of utmost importance and by far have the most applicable take-home points of this entire solosode series.While this information may be "old," given the book was published in 1979, it has never been more timely and relevant than now with our illuminated modern-day lifestyles. Ever since 1879, when Edison invented the lightbulb, the pendulum has been constantly swinging to the other side. And while there have been many advancements and benefits directly because of the lightbulb, virtually every aspect of our biology has paid the preverbal price.Fritz Hollwich was very aware of the fact that our lighting environments taxed our health -- even over 80 years ago! And thanks to him, we know definitively that the window into our eyes tells the entire story.
