I think that the idea is that the frequencies filtered out subtract from full spectrum light. Its more than just uv.

Methinks you should do some research and find out!

True I am referring to a pretty old memory but just poking around for a moment I found this; Early in his research career, Dr. Ott fell and broke his glasses; soon, his arthritis disappeared. And in 1996, Marion Patricia Connolly, executive director of Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation (PPNF), had much the same experience. Full-spectrum eyeglasses, i.e., lenses that transmit all ultraviolet light, are difficult to find. I take off my glasses outdoors whenever I can. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0ISW/is_246/ai_112728015/pg_6/ There has never been any research showing health benefits of blocking UV light to the eyes. However, it is now impossible to buy eyeglasses that allow full-spectrum light. All of the lenses made in the last ten years for eyeglasses are made to block UV light, even plastic lenses, which if untreated, would allow full-spectrum light. However, full- spectrum light to the eyes is necessary for proper functioning of ovaries, testes and thyroid, according to Hollwich and the research he summarizes. http://www.recipenet.org/health/articles/why_light_matters.htm Neither of those cites make my case though. The question needs answering of whether any electromagnetic radiation frequencies are filter or not by most kinds of glass.

Each and every atom performs as a photon node matrix, but how does the atom matrix know this FIFO or delayed FIFO (DFIFO) node thing? ~ BG |
