When daylight enters
our eyes, it reaches the pineal gland (also known as the seat of the soul or the
third eye) and activates our Endocrine system which is connected to our immune
and nervous systems.
The balance of
melatonin has been proven to be a crucial element in many health related studies
and has been linked to estrogen production, and many cancer related diseases.

Why Full Spectrum Light?
No life can exist without the presence of natural sunshine. Each spring we feel
the joy and energy that longer sun filled days bring. All of nature wakes up to
the added benefit of more and more natural light. When daylight enters our eyes,
it reaches the pineal gland (also known as the seat of the soul or the third
eye) and activates our Endocrine system which is connected to our immune and
nervous systems.
The pineal gland reduces the production of the light sensitive hormone,
melatonin from 100% in the night to 10% during the day. The balance of melatonin
has been proven to be a crucial element in many health related studies and has
been linked to estrogen production, and many cancer related diseases.
Stimulating proper production of melatonin from the pineal glad is paramount to
good health.
The question is how do you do this? The answer to that has been addressed by
many photo biologists as of late. They state that exposure to Full-Spectrum
light has an important influence on the endocrine system and can reduce the
risks of many diseases, including cancer. These studies have shown that the
retina can, when stimulated by the proper wave lengths of light, synthesize
melatonin directly to the pineal gland. Malillumination can prohibit proper
secretion of melatonin. So light of a proper type and intensity can be
considered a nutrient.
At the beginning of the 20th century over 70% of north Americans worked outdoors
thus benefiting from exposure to essential natural outdoor light. The result of
this change has been severe in many cases due to spending more and more time
under the type of lights which are missing that portion of the sun's spectrum
which is important in triggering proper melatonin secretion. It is estimated
that over 38 million north Americans feel the effects of malillumination causing
poor work conditions which can result in less energy and productiveness.
There is convincing research that poor lighting environments can produce
increased depression and even result in more severe cases called S.A.D. or
"Seasonal Affective Disorder." This problem increases more and more as
the winter months bring shorter and shorter days. "Sunlight
Starvation" also affects millions more in the form of a milder version
called the "Winter Blues".
Since 1978 researchers and scientists world wide have documented the successful
use of bright light therapy as a significant antidepressant. According to the
Dec 8th, 1993 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, for many
patients with S.A.D., light therapy should be regarded as first-line treatment.
