Daylight Robbery: Sunlight – the ultimate detoxifier?

In his book Daylight Robbery: The Importance of Sunlight to Health, Dr. Damien Downing shares research from Russia that shows that animals exposed to the higher amounts of sunlight were capable of removing toxins out of their body considerably faster than animals reared away from the sun. Even difficult to remove toxins like lead, cadmium, mercury, liver poisons and neurotoxins were detoxed from 2 – 20 times as fast.

Sunlight – the ultimate detoxifier?
Excerpt, Chapter 13

It is only the Russians who have fully appreciated this effect of sunlight and put it to use. Their experiments showed that animals exposed to the correct doses of sunlight were capable of clearing a wide range of toxins out of their system considerably quicker than animals reared away from the sun. The toxins that they studied included quartz and coal dusts, toxic minerals such as lead, cadmium and mercury, liver poisons such as carbon tetrachloride, and the neurotoxins which these days are so heavily used worldwide as pesticides. They found that sunlight speeded up the clearance of toxins from the body twice to as much as twenty times. The best effect was obtained when sunlight exposure had started some time before exposure to the toxin.
