Sun Lamp
I'm considering getting a UV sunlamp for my room over the winter since I usually go months without seeing sun. Seems more appealing than taking a supplement every week. Anyone have any tips/suggestions/comments about sunlamps?

i've been thinking about this too! not sure if this is a silly question but what is the difference between a sunlamp and a tanning bed? (doesn't dr g say that the sun won't cause cancer if you have no cancer to be caused, so does that mean tanning beds aren't harmful for us healthy ones either?)

Tanning beds have both UVA and UVB rays and often more UVA which destroys vitamin D whereas UVB creates vitD. Make sure not to shower with soap within 48hrs of sunning yourself. You'll wash the vitD off before it gets absorbed.

This be the kind of lamp I speak of:
And everyone knows what a tanning bed looks like. This would be good for my room while I work on projects, read, and lounge.

yes, i understand the physical difference between the two. but are they essentially the same thing? is a sun lamp safer? can i just go tanning instead of getting a sun lamp?

For Vit D production you need the UV-B rays, so if the light you want has UV-B output you should be good. Or as an alternative you can get a UV-B bulb that they make for reptiles.

so if I put a UV-B bulb in a regular lamp without the shade on would I get Vit D production benefits?

i've only been using mine for a couple of days but so far i love love love it!
i have been sleeping much less. i used to sleep 10 hours a day easily, even without exercising much. now i sleep 6-8 hours. i wake up at 7 with no alarm.
i also got my love for exercise back. i had stopped exercising because i didn't have the energy.
so far i feel like it is just the same as the sun, and totally worth it.
i have only had it for a week though. if you ask again in another week or so i'll give you my updated response.
i know strawberry babe has one too if she's on this forum you could ask her.

If I flew to Qld, how would I get there? Thanks for the info clint!
Talk to the raw house people, they have posts on here and maybe a group if you search.
Lol! Great story, great ending!
I can't think of which MC Hammer song that's from???
ya thats why we decided florida, more economical, plus we have family there
Lynda, don't deprive yourself by limiting yourself to no more than 3 dates a day. I used to eat no more than 2 a day because I was worried about all that sugar and calories but I one day last year I ate 120 medjool dates in one day. (3 smoothies wit…
i pushed back dinner too long tonight and then somebody on facebook talked about his falafels and had pics.. I went running for my oranges at that point...
After 6 months of 811, I ate vegan cooked food again for 2-3 months. Definitely lost my 6-pack and got some moobs. There's still some excess fat below my pectoral muscles, which is quite agitating. ha. I know it will leave in time.
And I've heard than for women, strengthening your pecs gives you more firmness and lift in your actual breasts, kind of like how bodybuilders strengthen their brachialis to make the biceps brachii "pop."
I wonder if some of it has to do with HGH levels via exercise, and that maybe affecting estrogen/testosterone balance? Just an unresearched hypothesis.
Same here, at least 100 khadrawys if I'm mono-ing on dates. Today I had 12 oranges for breakfast, and then probably 30-40 dates (which are small than medjool). (no dinner - somehow wasn't hungry even after a huge training day yesterday)
Epic win.
nice. lol.
Thanks! I just read the book, that's what reminded me (great book).
I will be anxiously awaiting your 811 trial log. Good luck.
