perhaps @Jack Kruse can chime in. From what I understand a "black light" has a filter that blocks visible light from being emitted. I could be wrong?

The original "UV-Light" used in the 1900's was called a Wood's Light. Which is still used in medical offices to this very day. Both dermatologists and ER Docs - if you've been poisoned with antifreeze your pee will glow. www.woodslight.com

the bulb I purchased is a true UV light - with testing to make sure. The range is 320–400. I understand the blacklight like I have has the filter to block out visible so it's safer to look at - not directly per se. Looks like I might have to ask Santa for a Wood's Light for Christmas lol

if you know the spectrum - do you? All of the research I read used the old fashioned Wood's Light - not a reptile light. Not sure

 

The 320-400nm looks incomplete to me by missing UV-B=320-280nm
But they can only help.


----------------------

In that research it would be good idea to include the 20years long (unintended) experiment on the work crew of restaurant:
"Well of the Sea," in the basement of the Hotel Sherman in Chicago.

Atm your guess is as good as mine when trying to figure what frequency they had.

Actinic light used in salt water reef aquariums have excellent track record and is easily available.

====================
I have now 3 light bulbs, all incandescent twisted.
Black Light
Reptile Light (black light + some visible light, overall intended to replicate desert)
Red Light
--------------------
By current logic
Black light can be used 24hrs/day
Reptile light can be used in day time (sunrise till sundown)
Red light can be used at night (sundown till sunrise)
--------------------
The best is natural light from sun, above are just technical devices.
There is still IR light and CT
and
irradiation of blood using Quantlet.

Quantlet = (UV-A)+(UV-B) + (IR) + CT applied in the place that allows best available blood irradiation.
--------------------
Comments please.

There is another trick I use on T2D when I am going to operate on them and they have a high HbA1c: I have them use d-glucosamine for two weeks pre op and them put them on the Leptin Rx with a lot of seafood. d-Glucosamine (GlcN) is a freely available and commonly used dietary supplement potentially promoting cartilage health in humans, which also acts as an inhibitor of glycolysis.
-----------------------------------------------
Jack Kruse said:
I have always been interested in glucosamine's use with cancer patients and in those wishing to extend lifespan: The mechanism by which D-Glucosamine inhibits glycolysis is by inhibiting hexokinase (or the liver analog, glucokinase). This impairs glucose metabolism and results in the cell “switching” over to amino acid metabolism to produce energy. Thus D-Glucosamine is a “metabolic switch” that converts “Warburg-type metabolism” in the cell (i.e. aerobic glycolysis in the presence of adequate oxygen) over to “protein metabolism”. 100 microM of Glc-N results in a 43% inhibition of glucose oxidation. I know of no studies however that shows whether we can get this effect from oral doses of the supplement.

Muscle fatigue goes away with UV AM light Rene........because of what is buried in Ubi 24. PGC-1 alpha pathways are activated and select SM fibers.
If the UV light is within the system muscle won't fatigue.
This is why FM (fibromyalgia, note by JanSz) is also a disease of UV deficits.
In these cases iron levels in RBC are low and they never absorb enough UV via their RBC's because porphyrins are not there in the deep skin to get it and deliver it to muscle.
Moreover, Iron is co factor in dopamine synthesis.......and this is required in the PGC-1 alpha pathways for muscles...........this is why restless leg appears with many sleep disorders too and ties back to Josh's breathing statement.
O2 is the terminal electron acceptor to increase pull on ETC........when UV is absent there is nothing to pull because flow is bad. When flow is bad muscles can do nothing

FM- fibromyalgia
----------------------------------------------
Jack Kruse said:
Lack of AM UV inhibits production of T3 which downshifts production of all hormones downstream of pregnenolone. Muscles need T3 to grow too.
With out UV you also can't make T or E or increase RBC mass to harvest AM UV even if you change things.
These AM details in CT 7 are critical to get right.

by evolutionary design of course, switching off energetically expensive hormone synthesis when it is down time/hibernation time and the season for uncoupling. when the cycle comes back around the organism switches back, provided they are in a natural environment, not an EMF shit hole

How to Make Your Own Spectroscope Using the
SpectraSnapp app



.
============================================
http://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201302/scienceapp.cfm

APS Public Outreach Specialist James Roche demonstrates SpectraSnapp in action. Using the simple spectrometer attached to his iPhone, he compares the spectrum from a fluorescent light (bottom) to the spectrum of neon from the library in the app, thus showing conclusively that the light in question is not produced by neon.

Jan, is that your picture on post #215?

 

Post #215 that is me, some minutes after sunrise.

..

 

You look like you're in pretty good shape. You live near the ocean? Thanks.

 

I live zip code 07054.
That picture was taken few days ago on vacation.

Nice. The ocean has many health benefits. Ocean waves are calming, walking on the sand is great for grounding, plenty of fresh air and sun. Always good to get away.

 

@Jack Kruse
@PaulG
@Jill1
or anybody else,
I have a question.
Looking over the SpectraSnapp application that Jack mentions in UB#24 I ended with number of suggestions on youtube on how to make spectroscope.
Thought that I would build one of those.
But my main concern is the UV-A and UV-B light.
I am not going to be able to see those frequencies.

Any suggestions??
How to figure what my Black Light light source delivers.
The blue color that we see from those lights is just small part of visible light in vicinity of 400nm.
That is not what I interested in.

 

You look so strong and manly Jan.... wow! Cant believe you are that age, really!

About the tan... some people just do not tan.. ever... like my dear dad. He had a skin very much like Jack. They have the same ancestors BTW...... and my dad have freckles too and is always so white. He does get a little color but he never get a real tan. I get tanned easily but I never get dark brown like my mom (or Jacks beautiful wife ..) does matter how much I am in the sun...

 

Wanted to post that lol. Jansz you look like a badass wise old man. Most older folks don't look too good. If I could age like that.. bring it lol.

@Jill1
After September/2015 webinar
there is more specific answer.
Your light is 320–400.
The light that makes vit D is 290-320nm (says dr Kruse).
Note
(UV-A)-(400-320) and (UV-B)-(320-280)
(I am sure 320-400nm is good for something but not for vit D.

The box from my reptile light (posts #220) have chart with frequencies, plus they mention vit D on the label.
There is also table that gives separately UVA and UVB energy densities in μW/cm^2.
For reptiles the effectiveness of this light is up to 20"(50cm).

Wonder what is the requirement for humans.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Synthesis of pre-vitamin D3 in the skin involves UVB radiation which
effectively penetrates only the epidermal layers of skin.
7-Dehydrocholesterol absorbs UV light most effectively at wavelengths
between 290-320nm and thus the production of vitamin D3 will only occur
at those wavelengths. The two most important factors that govern the
generation of pre-vitamin D3 are the quantity (intensity) and quality
(appropriate wavelength) of the UVB irradiation reaching the
7-dehydrocholesterol in the middle of the skin layers in the stratum basale
and stratum spinosum.

Jesus Christ! And you have lots of hair! I would never believe you're 75!
I didn't make it to the lab again, Jan. I'm so ashamed to say that but I think i should.
I met one of my best friends in Philadelphia and went to a bar where you can lick whipped cream from naked men's body if you have 10 bucks to put inside their pocket. I got so drunk, I didn't expect things would turn this way. I didn't lick the cream though but I did dance a lot. Jesus. I overslept the appointment and Labcorp staff was really
Though I should send you a present and post a picture of before and after . I would make you very happy!

 

UV-A=400-320nm
UV-B=320-280nm

so UV-B is missing.

UVB is designed to be seasonal in most place but the equator.

 

Why might Janz have this?

So how does SAD or low free T3 develop when you move from summer to autumn-winter. This is occurring now in the Northern hemisphere. Might you get depressed fatter and your hair fall out if you did not have a good light signal in your eye the entire spring and summer? YEP. So what happens when the nnEMF is so bad over your head you can't get the UV-IR signal to your RPE-central retinal pathways-SCN-hypothalamus-anterior pituitary? You get a pregnenolone steal syndrome due to a lack of light signaling and that light is used to unlock the compound pharmacy in your brain. Low free T3 and high reverse T3 manifests in mitochondrial phenotype in any part of the tissues/system where mitochondria have lost magnetic sense. Magnetic sense is linked to connection to earth and UV light in AM specifically for thyroid. It also requires some IR. Where UV light exists at surfaces magnetic sense manifests in those tissues. Why? UV light has energy and momentum and is not encumbered by mass therefore energy is added to tissues in the most favorable way. This occurs ideally with purple light because it contains the most energy and momentum as it falls to earth in AM. When you don't get or assimilate it, it can't stimulate anterior pituitary to make TSH. No TSH in AM = low T3 = LR= NAD+ is low and we always see pseudohypoxia locally. Cold temperatures always augment even small amounts of UV present at high latitudes to dive pathway. Why? It affects the quantum yield at surface of leaves and your skin. This is why photosynthesis is less effective in hotter climates and why we can still increase UV absorbance in colder higher climates like Norway and Sweden. It is also why these people have light hair, skin, and blue eyes. All help you absorb more UV when the cornea of the eye and corneal surfaces of the skin are cooled. Pseudo hypoxia is fended off by AM UV frequencies of light, alone!!! Low thyroid and apnea anywhere is a function of where UV light existsand how cold temperatures at surface are with O2 levels. This is the essence of how a topologic insulators works at an interface with light. Since O2 is paramagnetic and it drawn to magnetic fields anywhere, and MEG data show tissues with mitochondria have huge MEG signals, electrons stripped from foods are loaded with photonic power characterized by frequencies in the visible spectrum for the seasons they grow in. O2 draws these electrons to the 5th cytochrome (ATPase) and this makes it the pace setter of ETC speeds in mitochondria. Therefore O2 can do what UV light can even in a poor UV environment. This is why cooler water carries more O2 in it to move electric charge for a free cost. This is why people at high latitudes all a eat cold pelagic fish. It's also why said fish have higher vitamin D levels in their skins.

 

UVB is designed to be seasonal in most place but the equator.[/quote]

so? what does that mean? both UV-B & UV-A? or ?
