This information was given to us by a close friend, Mrs. Hetty
Quarrella, from Michigan. Hetty has been doing research in the
health field for many years.
She has many friends in the Michigan area who work in the
science community researching various aspects of field energies.
They thought that this would be a good article for the KeelyNet.
Also if you are not aware, this is a peak year for sunspot
activity. This solar cycle occurs every 11 years. Electronic
communications are most effected by this, particularly radio. There
are many BBS systems for short wave radio operators which monitor
sunspot activity.

Vangard notes>>>
In addition, high concentrations of solar radiation contain
invisible rays in the UltraViolet region. It is a proven fact that
tissues are MOST SENSITIVE to the 260 nm frequency, although the
range of 200 to 350 nm has been proven to be the band most harmful.
Cellular injury takes the form of mutation or death when
subjected to intense doses of light in this range.
Photobiologists found that the wavelength of UV that was most
EFFICIENT AT BRINGING ABOUT CELL DEATH was precisely the wavelength
that DNA ABSORBED MOST EFFICIENTLY.
Fortunately for earth surface dwellers, little of the intense
UV light actually makes it to the surface due to our protective
atmopshere.
Of the UV rays that do penetrate, sunburn occurs as a result of
overexposure to such radiation. It occurs when one is exposed to a
substantial amount of sunlight without the skin being tanned
(pigmented with melanin).
The action spectrum necessary to produce the MAXIMUM skin
reddening occurs at about 290 nm, a wavelength present in sunlight
even at the earth's surface.
The reddening that we notice is a result of vasoactive
(vascular system affected) substances being released in the
epidermis by the radiation.

Immediately following the reddening, skin pigmentation or
tanning occurs when melanin appears at the skin surface.

SOLAR RADIATION AND YOUR HEALTH
Based upon information given to us by one of our professional
client's, it is our desire to pass along to you and your family some
health maintenance tips.
As a result of solar radiation activity this summer, certain
days, from the beginning of August, thru to the end of February,
have been designated as "Days of High Intensity Solar Radiation".
These "Red Days" are as follows:
The entire month of August
September.................. 1, 5, 7, 8, 21, 23
October....................15, 22
November................... 1, 10, 15 thru 22
December................... 1, 2, 12, 30
January....................15, 27
February...................18 thru 21
Precautionary measures taken by you and your family will help
in reducing the risk of an overdose to this solar radiation.
A few common sense measures include:
1. Make sure that your skin is not in direct contact with the
sun during the days listed above.
2. Wear a total sun-block tanning product on those areas that
must be exposed to the sun, such as "Sun Down".
3. Make sure that you wear a hat on your head when out in
direct sunlight.
4. Taken internally, "Paba", an ingredient found in the "B"
vitamin complex.
Should you feel you have overexposed yourself to the sun's rays
on any one of the day's listed above, you can help yourself by
taking a bath, and mixing in your bath water, one (1) cup of sea
salt, along with one (1) cup of baking soda.
This will help to reduce the skin irritation resulting from
overexposure to the sun's radiation.
* Please note, some people have been found to be allergic to
"Paba". If you are one of those people, please test "Paba"
internally (it is available at most health food stores as a
single nutritional supplement). By ingesting a small amount
before you begin to take it daily as a sun-block
preventative.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
** IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE A DIABETIC YOU CANNOT TAKE PABA. **
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Paba" taken internally should be kept in the range of 500 mg
per day. This will help to prevent skin irritation from
overexposure.
If you find you must be exposed to solar radiation and can plan
for it, then begin taking the "PABA" five (5) days before you are to
be exposed to the sun.
