I know, it's in german, but the main thing I don't understand is, why the producing company (and the glowing reviews) claim it to be a very good daylight lamp, when in fact it only has 1500 lumens at ...

How do you reckon acne is auto-immune? Our immune system isnt attacking our skin... That is the key finding of the study I believe has finally identified the actual trigger point of acne, the differ...

Still, I didn't experience the melatonin surge you described. If you want to change your melatonin cycle, you're roughly attempting to do what people do to recover from jet lag. Multiple days are of...

i've been getting loads of sunlight the last couple of weeks Interesting. How many hours per day does "loads" mean? Which hours of the day were the "loads" done? How variable was the time of day y...

The more I read about the tryptophan-melatonin cycle, the more I find they are correlated with other symptoms I've had besides acne (Depression, insomia, fatigue, ocd, fructose digestion etc.). One ...

why are men significantly more acne prone than women? What leads you to believe that's true? For example, in this study of late adolescents, self-reported, The prevalence of acne was 14.4% among t...

In other words, is UVA here being described as the primary causal factor, or just a factor in addition to light exposure, because I may be in trouble as I wear glasses? We evolved to live in sunligh...

I have just always had horrible sleep--insomnia, waking up frequently, and waking up feeling like crap. Did the sleep doctor put you in a sleep lab for a couple of nights hooked up to probes? If not...

1. Is it dangerous to have the bright artifical light very close to your eyes (20-50cm) for long periods of time? Yes. You can cause retinal lesions, probably more easily with blue light. The proble...

UVA theory notes: melatonin in the retina itself is circadian, possibly to regulate sensitivity. Elevated melatonin in the retina may make it more susceptible to light damage. So, just as avoiding all...

The actually weird thing is, that in winter 2008, my urin was pretty much always clear and white. People usually say that white urin is good. I tend to think now, that it means that no filtering is ...

What's the connection between nocturnal melatonin production and quality of sleep? Is it causal? Or can you sleep like crap (i.e. wake up tired) and still have had a good melatonin 'surge'? It's ...

Wow, you got a lot of stuff going on, with all the diet changes and accutane. I would say all bets are off after a course of accutane; nobody knows its precise mechanism for working, and one proposal ...

The problem with this, is although getting sunlight in the eyes is likely the most effective way of dealing with carbohydrate malabsorption, in our American society, more and more lifestyles are being...

Do you mean the FODMAP diet? (or what it was called). Yes, that's the closest thing I know of to anyone attempting to actually impact carb malabsorption in patients by just changing diet and demonst...

It's all very interesting but for most of us it's just not feasable ! That helps explain why about half of adults on any given day have at least one acne lesion. Many people who can't spend the day...

My doctor who I consulted with about this said that some people really believe this works, while others, not so much. What a swamp of uncertainty and skulduggery to pick through to even try to get an...

I have been taking 50mg of zinc per day for about two months now, and I haven't seen any improvement--in fact, my skin is worse now, and I have way more pimples, than I ever have in 16 years of acne. ...

do you think these sheddiing white flakes (i dont know the exact english word for them, "scales" directly translated) are related to acne? Possibly, though I've done little research. Without knowing...

But I've also been wearing my glasses instead of my contacts recently, and that would mean more UV light is hitting my eyes. A big part of the point of the light in the eyes is to affect digestion. ...

I know you mentioned your view on ejaculation before but there really seems to be a correlation for me. If you could do it without losing zinc or affecting sleep (melatonin), then that would imply s...

Aren't there rather substantial risks with subjecting your eyes to UV light? I guess the equivalent question would be: did all our ancestors have more terrible eye problems in old age than us becaus...

would contact lenses (glass or plastic) produce the same effect as glasses in blocking UVA? The American Optical Association claims some contact lenses are designed to block UVA, so I guess it's YMM...

Started a new experiment yesterday about UVA in the eyes. An hour before lunch, I got in about 45 minutes of walking staring at the sky with no glasses. Glasses may effectively block UVA, and UVA may ...

I was completely clear until I started working graveyards Your experience jibes with Dr. Fulton's quote: I can get pretty much anyone cleared up, unless they work the night shift. At about 18 an...
