the study. Within this study the systolic pressure dropped by as much as 40mm/hg and diastolic readings dropped by an average of 20mm/hg. Systolic pressure is the pressure exerted by the heart as it pumps blood through the bodily system. Diastolic pressure is the pressure within the heart in its relaxed state. (Hobday, 1999). Regular exposure to adequate (but not excessive) amounts of sunlight alleviates atherosclerosis (Brock, 2005) 3.1.4.3 Increased Tolerance to Toxic Substances There are indications that ultraviolet radiation has an effect, to some extent, on the body's tolerance towards exposure to chemical substances such as nitrites, benzylpyrene and carcinogens, which produce general toxic, carcinogenic and allergenic effects. Prophylactic treatment with UVR preceding specific immunization reduces the risk of vaccination allergy and helps to increase the effectiveness of the immunization (W.H.O., 1976). Recovery from neonatal jaundice is speeded up by exposure to sunlight (specifically the blue part of the visible light spectrum) (Hobday, 1999). 3.1.4.4 Skin Ailments In the pre-antibiotic era, several forms of skin tuberculosis and skin infections were treated with UVR. At present, UVR treatment in medicine is largely confined to treating skin diseases, such as psoriasis, acne, atopic dermatitis, and recurrent boils (W.H.O., 1976). In Kumar and Clark’s “Clinical Medicine” for medical students it is stated that “ultraviolet radiation is potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic, but in controlled amounts can actually suppress cutaneous inflammation. Therefore, UV radiation can cause skin disease but can also be used to treat it.”(Kumar & Clark, 1999) 3.1.4.5 Endurance, Immunity and Hormones Within his book ‘Sunlight’, Dr. Zane Kime states that sunlight has an elevating influence on endurance, sex hormone levels, and immunity. Exposure to sunlight increases the production of white blood cells (specifically lymphocytes) thereby strengthening the immune system (Francis, 1997). 26PDF Image | THE USE OF LIGHT AND COLOUR AS A HEALING MODALITY
