My friend bought a UV light (SteriPEN Classic). It takes 2 AA batteries. You stir the light around in your water and it kills 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, Giardia, and other nasty little bugs. That coupled with a solar battery charger we found at walmart and your good to go!

I wonder how amazing i'd feel if I actually did get sunlight
I'll try it next time i'm sick.

When i was younger and still sometimes now, Whenever I get really sick, like with the flu or anything If it is warm enoguh out I'll go sit on my back porch and just absorb some sun for an hour. Go back in side come back out in 2 hours and do the same.

i swear the next day after doing this I feel so much better.

And it's not that my body is just healing it regularly , the sun does help.

The reasoning that, since we're water, ultraviolet rays will kill germs within us, is not sound.

First, our water is contained primarily within cells or in our bloodstream. We've got some sweat and other secretions, but for the most part, cells and blood. In order to kill viruses in our bodies, we'd have to irradiate our cells - all of them. And we'd have to irradiate our blood. For this to effectively kill the viruses, we'd have to sacrifice our cells and our blood. UV radiation strong enough to kill the viruses, would also kill our cells, blood cells, and damage the chemicals within the blood.

Think of it this way: boiling kills germs, and in particular, it kills flu virus. We're mostly water, so boiling ourselves would kill the flu virus. That's true - it would destroy the flu virus. But we'd be boiled, and dead long before the viruses were killed.

As for TB, yes, UV was used as a treatment for it. People were encouraged to get out into the sun as much as possible. Special lamps were used, and even shined into a person's throat (trying to shine into the lungs) to kill the bacteria. People died of TB anyway, because the treatment was essentially ineffective.

Like many diseases, TB had a variable and unpredictable course. Some people recovered quickly and went on to lead normal lives. Others dragged on for years, never healthy, but not sick enough to die of TB. And of course, many people died. When you have this sort of variable result, it is to be expected that some people under any treatment will recover. That would make it look like the treatment was a success, when most of the time it had little to do with the recovery.

Although ultraviolet was used to treat TB for decades, there were few recoveries until the development of Isoniazid and other TB-specific drugs. Had the UV truly been effective, there would have been no need for drugs.

my theory is that body temperature rising is actually your body's defense mechanism.

I probably just misread what your saying but you were talking about how its the UV rays that kill off the virus/bacteria by not allowing them to reproduce. If that is so, your body raising its tempature will not kill the bacteria off in this way? Heat isn't UV, your body doesnt produce UV like that. Raising your body tempeture when your ill works as a catalyst to help speed up the reactions in your body fighting the illness. Basic chemistry tells us that reaction occur at a faster rate at higher tempatures as particles have more energy and thus move around faster. Your brain makes your body think its colder then it is causing the body to heat up and speed up the production of anti-bodies to help fight the illness. The tempature is in no way raising to kill the bacteria straight up, in fact unless u get to ridiculously high tempatures the bacteria should be uneffected as most bacteria prefer warmer tempatures to survive.

What sunlight? The fake clouds have been covering it up every day.

I used to use ozone in my water then drink it, but the problem was it made me very dizzy. I decided that was not a good idea,lol In 30 min time it only has time to get past the stomach anyway and does not effect the entire body before it turns back to 02.

I do run my ozone machine , and that will kill virus as long as I have it turned on and up to 30 min after before the co3 turns back to Co2. Great if someone ill walks in my house and sneezes, that is as far as the virus gets.

I also drink LOTS of water when I am ill, flush as much of the toxin out of my body as possible.

I can attest to the "healing sunlight" idea. I am from NY originally (and live there currently) but I spent about 5 years living in the deep south (Mississippi and Florida). I noticed that when I live in the Northern part of the country (less sunlight, longer winter, etc) that I am much more prone to illness. In all honesty, the five years I spent in the south, I didn't get a single virus (cold, flu or otherwise). When I live in NY, I am sick every 4 months with some bug or another. I imagine the air quality attributes to this as well but I do live more than an hour outside of the city, in the suburbs where there is substantially less pollution. In addition, my husband who NEVER used to get sick is fighting an illness every few months now that we have come back to NY. He too did not have a single health problem when we lived in the south. That being said, I have to wholeheartedly agree that sunlight does play an important role in our general well-being, physical and mental~~~

One thing I have seen used to heal when on experiences with my alien buddies is a very white bright light so I agree light heals.

Have you noticed how the Sun seems to be more brilliant (healing light sent by my alien buds) and as crazy as this sounds and here come the debunkers and skeptics you will notice how the chemtrails yes, chemtrails are being sprayed to cover the skies infront of the Sun to DULL it.

But what do I know!

I see your point but I will say that I have seen brilliant white light heal so something is up with this and all I can think for myself is this, we don't as a human race understand how everything works with light.

I do not know what the brilliant white light type(name) is that i saw used on myself or another was but it helped me and it healed another.

Light is something that has to be researched for healing I have "NO DOUBT" about that.

We need discover what LIGHT can really do to heal!

I say this because they don't show you something like this on experiences unless it will come to light in the future.

Why yes, i agree. It's already proven that sweating DOES help the viruses or whatever you may call them escape. But i really like your theory on the UV light. It sounds VERY plausible to me. Nice share friend.

love nice dude.. that idear have been in my head fore a while but u just help me see the Ligth..

Love U dude peace out


but what about we can only take up too 42 celsius ( don't know in Fahrenheit) and then we are away too overHeat(die)...
