The Sun Healed Me: A Personal Journey Through Natural Wellness

Introduction

There was a day when I woke up exhausted.
A cough had robbed me of sleep, my head felt heavy, and my body seemed to beg for rest. Logic suggested I stay in bed, but something deeper told me otherwise: "go to the Sun."

By instinct, I decided to listen.
I went out to walk under the sunlight, even though my body was still sluggish. For over an hour, I walked, breathed, meditated, and then simply remained — eyes closed, in silence, receiving the warmth of the Sun like someone accepting an ancient calling.

When I returned, I hydrated with alkaline water enriched with molecular hydrogen and nourished myself with fruits and living foods — fresh, simple, pure.

The next day, something had completely changed:
the cough had ceased, the fatigue had disappeared, and I felt fully vital. I was 100% well.

The Lived Experience

There was no medicine.
There was only light, water, and food — the three fundamental pillars of life.

This sequence of actions, as natural as they are ancient, revealed something that laboratories are still trying to measure: the body's capacity to self-regulate when reconnected to the elements that sustain it.

What I felt wasn't just physical improvement.
It was an expansion of vital energy, as if every cell had remembered where its strength comes from.

And this wasn't an isolated experience.
For over eight years, conscious sun exposure, daily walks, mindful breathing, quality water hydration, and consuming natural, living foods have been part of my routine.
These practices — combined with many others focused on physical, energetic, and spiritual well-being — have shaped a new way of living, in harmony with Earth's natural rhythm and the subtle laws of vital energy.

🩺 The Medicine That Honors Life: The Indispensable Role of the BioFAO Specialist

"Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food."
— Hippocrates, father of medicine

None of this would be possible without the guidance of a rare professional today: a physician who truly honors the Hippocratic oath.

A specialist in BioFAO Medicine (Biophysics, Nutrition, and Orthomolecular), she is indispensable on my path of prevention and healing. She doesn't just treat symptoms — she investigates causes, understands the body as an integrated system, and respects the ancestral wisdom that modern medicine has often forgotten.

While conventional medicine tends to fragment the human being into isolated specialties, BioFAO Medicine restores the holistic vision: body, mind, energy, and environment form an inseparable whole.

She taught me that:

• Prevention is more powerful than cure
• Food is the first medicine
• The body has innate intelligence to self-regulate
• Sunlight, pure water, and movement are fundamental pillars of health

Having a physician by my side who doesn't just prescribe, but educates, guides, and empowers makes all the difference. She is the bridge between ancestral wisdom and modern science, between technical knowledge and sensitive listening.

And, above all, she honors the most forgotten Hippocratic principle in today's medicine:

"Primum non nocere" — First, do no harm.

Her approach is not invasive, not suppressive — it is restorative, regenerative, and deeply respectful of the nature of the human body.

What Science Already Knows

Although modern science tends to treat the body in isolation, various studies have been approaching what direct experience proves daily:

• Vitamin D and immunity:
Sun exposure between 10 AM and 4 PM, for about 20 to 30 minutes, is essential for vitamin D3 synthesis (Holick, 2011). This substance acts in immune system modulation, bone health, and even chronic disease prevention.

• Sunlight and circadian rhythm:
Natural light regulates the biological clock, improves sleep quality, balances hormones, and reduces depressive symptoms (Czeisler et al., 2019).

• Contact with nature and free electrons:
Studies on earthing (grounding) show that direct contact with the soil and Earth's energy allows the flow of electrons that reduce inflammation and improve overall energetic state (Chevalier et al., 2012). For those living in urban environments, copper grounding shoes offer a practical solution to maintain this vital connection.

• Molecular hydrogen-rich water:
Research suggests that molecular hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress (Ohsawa et al., 2007). Alkaline water with molecular hydrogen potentiates this protective effect.

• Living foods and bioelectricity:
Fresh, minimally processed foods maintain natural electrical charges and enzymes that favor metabolism and cellular energy (Szent-Györgyi, 1968).

All of this confirms part of what lived experience shows: nature is still the best technology that exists.

What Science Still Cannot Explain

Even with data and measurements, there's something that escapes the graphs:
the sensation of reconnection, the well-being born from direct contact with the Sun, Earth, and breath itself.
Perhaps because this involves not just biochemistry, but also consciousness.

The human body is not a machine; it is a living, energetic, and intelligent system.
And when we return to it the elements of origin — light, water, movement, and living food — it simply remembers how to heal itself.

How to Begin Your Own Reconnection

If you feel the call to experience this:

✅ Expose yourself to the sun for 20-30 minutes between 10 AM-4 PM
✅ Walk barefoot on earth or grass, or use copper grounding shoes for urban environments
✅ Hydrate with quality water (alkaline water with molecular hydrogen or magnesium alkalizing stone*)
✅ Consume living, fresh foods
✅ Breathe consciously

It's not about following rules — it's about listening to your body.

Final Reflection

Personal experience, when lived with awareness, is a legitimate form of knowledge.
Not all truth fits in a laboratory.
Some truths reveal themselves in the skin, in silence, and in light.

What I lived is not a formula — it's a reminder:

The Sun is not the enemy; it is Earth's first physician.

And perhaps, in the future, science itself will come to recognize again that healing doesn't come only from outside, but from the harmony between human beings and the natural forces that sustain them.

And that, alongside professionals who honor true medicine — one that respects, educates, and empowers — the path to health becomes not only possible, but profoundly transformative.
