How Sunlight Regenerates the Body
“We cannot remain healthy without the sun.”
This article was inspired by the research of Dr. Jack Kruse and Dr. Robert O. Becker.

Do you have trouble sleeping at night?
If you do, you’ve got company. One out of three people among us struggle with inadequate sleep at least three times per week.
Over 80% of adults say they wish their sleep was better. In 1994, the year that the first smartphone became available for purchase, insomnia was 12.8%. In 1984 it was 10.3%.
So I did a Google AI search comparing factors related to insomnia, 1994 vs. 2025. This is what I came up with…
In 1994, insomnia was independently related to:
Being overweight
Physical inactivity
Alcohol dependence
Psychiatric disorders
Joint/low back disorders
Factors Related to Insomnia in 2025:
Stress
Poor sleep habits
Caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol
Electronic device use aka “screen time” before bed
Shift work or irregular schedules
Exposure to noise or light during the night
Uncomfortable room temperature
Lack of exercise
Depression
*On a side note, I find it interesting that Google does not list obesity as a contributing factor in relation to insomnia although the American population has been on a steady incline from 22.5% in 1994 to 40.3% in 2025.
Notice how light is mentioned twice in the 2025 factors? But it’s not mentioned once in the 1994 factors. That’s because in our 21st century times, we are saturated with light 24/7. And it’s not the good kind.
Blue Light Toxicity
Every day, from before sunrise to after sunset, we are bombarded with Blue light from our phones, computers, tvs, LED light bulbs, and glowing indicator lights everywhere, even on our vehicle dashboards. Wherever we go, every. single. one. of our interior spaces is polluted with Blue light. And it’s affecting our health.
Here’s a long list of known harmful effects caused by excessive Blue light exposure:
Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) - symptoms are blurred vision, dry eyes, headaches, and neck/shoulder pain.
Eye Fatigue
Retinal Damage
Increased Risk of Eye Diseases - such as macular degeneration and cataracts
Dry Eyes
Changes in Skin Cells
Skin Discoloration e.g. vitiligo
Sleep Disruption
Difficulty Falling Asleep
Fatigue
Metabolic Changes - including lower levels of leptin (a hormone that signals fullness) and potential issues with blood sugar regulation
Hormone-Related Cancers - such as breast and prostate cancer
Reduced Productivity and Concentration
Increased risk of obesity, nearsightedness, and concentration issues
Blue light also disrupts melatonin production and the circadian system of the body which is essential for mitochondrial function (super important!). This interruption plays a significant role in the development of sleep disorders, cognitive dysfunctions, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Kinda puts an illuminating perspective on late night binge watching your favorite Netflix show, eh?
So what’s the solution?
Sunlight.
Allow me to explain beginning with a geology story…
66 million years ago, furry, little mammals were living deep underground when a giant meteor struck the Earth. This catastrophic event blackened out the sun and killed off all the non-flying dinosaurs and a lot of herbivores. Despite most of the vegetation being destroyed, the subterranean creatures survived. But how? How did they outlive a cataclysmic event that decimated most of the food source/production of plants? To put it simply, these Cenozoic ancestors' fuzzy physiology rich with melanin enabled them to live off of UV light through a gene called pro-opiomelanocortin or POMC.
Fast forward to our modern times of this era, where the POMC gene remains in our human bodies. But unlike our ancient Cousin Itt counterparts, our human physiology has evolved to a less hairy, diurnal energy production, much like photosynthesis in plants, to accommodate our surface-dwelling habit. We absorb UV light in a different way - through the UV receptors contained in the central retina pathways of our eyes and through our skin - to stimulate the POMC gene.
Why is POMC important?
Well, in a nutshell, POMC, which translates only through UV light, does a number of things including:
Makes melanin which pigments the skin, protecting it from harmful UV rays
Regulates appetite (Side note to a previous side note: Remember that increasing percentage of obesity? Sunlight can help curb that.)
Cleaves into smaller, active peptides that regulates energy metabolism in the mitochondria of the cells
From here let’s zoom in a little deeper on…
The Importance of Mitochondria
First it’s important to mention the role of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin, the dashing delivery person of the body, works a lot like chlorophyll in plants. It contains semiconductor proteins that carry light absorbed into the body to the Deuterium-depleted waterways of the mitochondria.
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of our cells.
“Mitochondria… are found in almost every tissue of the body and their job is to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy-providing substance that cells require to operate.”
ATP stores energy in phosphate bonds. When these bonds are broken down, they release power for cellular activities. During this metabolic process, bio-photons are emitted from the cells.
What are Bio-Photons?
Biophysicist, Dr. Fritz Albert Popp discovered that when cells are healthy, they emit a very weak light called bio-photons. He also demonstrated that cells are highly synchronized through a colorful spectrum of electromagnetic light energy that is responsible for the regulation of all of our body’s physiological processes.
“We know today that man, essentially, is a being of light. And the modern science of photobiology … is presently proving this. In terms of healing, the implications are immense. We now know, for example, that quanta of light can initiate, or arrest, cascade-like reactions in the cells, and that genetic cellular damage can be virtually repaired, within hours, by faint beams of light. We are still on the threshold of fully understanding the complex relationship between light and life, but we can now say emphatically, that the function of our entire metabolism in dependent on light.”
So basically, our mitochondria are like tiny lighthouses inside of cells sending powerful signals to other cells in the body.
The Regenerative Power of the DC Electric Current
In 1959-1967, an orthopedic surgeon of the Veterans Administration Hospital in Syracuse, New York, named Robert O. Becker, discovered the cellular electromagnetic footprint, which he called the DC Electric Current, that controls regeneration in animals and plants. He proved that the real regeneration mechanism in cells is electromagnetic, not biochemical. And through the 1,000th of 1 million ampere of this DC Electric Current, mitochondria takes red blood cells and dedifferentiates them into stem cells.
What are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are the Super Mario-esque maintenance guys of the body. They self-renew and replace other cells lost through injury, disease, or normal wear and tear on the body.
Let’s recap here what we’ve learned so far with the graphic below…
Sunlight is absorbed through UV receptors in our eyes and skin
The absorbed UV light stimulates POMC (a leptin melanocortin pathway for metabolism)
Semiconductor proteins in hemoglobin carry light to the waterways of the mitochondria (working like photosynthesis in plants)
Mitochondria then break down phosphate bonds of ATP to supply cells with energy. As these bonds are broken down, they emit light called bio-photons.
On a subatomic level, mitochondria collects electrons that absorb energy from photons delivered by the semiconductor proteins in cellular waterways
Through the DC Electric Current, mitochondria dedifferentiate red blood cells, turning them into stem cells. Stem cells don't repair or heal damaged cells, they make new ones.
Not only do we absorb light, we store it, we emit it, and our cells use it to communicate and regenerate.
“To put it briefly, we humans are light-suckers.”
So if you ever see that Dr. Chris has written on your treatment plan listed under Basic Daily Practices,
“In two 15-minute blocks, stand or sit barefoot outside with your eyes closed, arms and legs bare, facing the sun.”
Now you know why.
But what more can we do to balance our Blue light infested environments with healthy spectrums of light?
One option is to add red or infrared frequencies to our light consumption through devices such as this one or this one. Or we can block harmful Blue light through glasses like these.
Or, I have another idea…
Regeneration through Meditation
One day during an enthusiastic conversation with Dr. Chris as I was sharing what I had learned from Dr. Becker’s and Dr. Jack Kruse’s work, a red light bulb turned on in my brain. Musing in classic Woo-Woo fashion, I asked, “What if we went directly to the Infinite Source of the Sun for regeneration?!?” Like athletes or yogis or monks who focus their minds on their desired outcomes, why not tap into the light frequencies of the Sun and allow them to infiltrate our bodies through meditation?
What I propose is that we go beyond the sun for rejuvenation and restoration - by aligning our minds in meditation with an intention to tap into the Infinite Divine Source.
If you would like to know how to go about doing this, I offer in-person guided meditations for cellular regeneration here. Sounds crazy, I know. But if it will activate POMC within our bodies, support our mitochondria functions, and create Stem cells for optimal wellbeing and vitality, why the heck not?!?
In closing…
With the recent discovery of tunnels under the Egyptian Khafre pyramid based on SAR Doppler scans, I am reminded of a common perception that the Ancient Egyptians worshipped the sun. But what if they knew something more about the sun than we realize? Religion aside, what if they utilized the Sun’s light frequencies as a powerful resource for regeneration and vitality?
What if we’ve got healing all wrong. What if healthcare isn’t about suppressing, eliminating, or combating illness that the conventional medical industry would have us believe (for their profit, I might add), it’s about realigning the body’s energy field with the frequency of regeneration for optimal health. And based on what we know about our mammalian physiology, the most powerful frequency for regeneration is light. Sunlight to be exact. (Sans the sun blocking chemicals.)
Besides, it’s free!
