Stop wearing sunscreen; the sun is not your enemy

☀️

There’s an academic difference between "sunlight" and "sunshine", but I’ll use them interchangeably for simplicity.

Zaid K Dahhaj is a health coach and speaker who passionately advocates for the benefits of sunshine in improving overall well-being.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

— Walt Whitman, poet

Zaid challenges the modern fear of sun exposure, arguing that it’s a vital force for health, especially when harnessed through morning light to reset circadian rhythms.

Which is another way of saying "go outside, especially in the morning".

He promotes the idea of heliotherapy (which is the therapeutic use of sunlight), saying that sunlight can aid in regeneration and even combat certain diseases with its natural wavelengths.

During the Spanish flu, for example, sick people were put outside for this very reason.

Though his views often clash with mainstream health advice, Zaid’s mission is to reconnect people with nature’s healing power through "thoughtful sun exposure" and encouraging people to see through anti-sun propaganda.

Yes, anti-sun propaganda.

Remember when, just a few years ago, we were told to stay indoors to "flatten the curve"?

And when we were prohibited from going to the beach?

And when we were prohibited from walking our dogs?

Yes, anti-sun propaganda.

They did all of that because they care only about mass control and surveillance.

If you believe the media, government, and even the pharmaceutical industry care about your health and wellbeing, you're delusional.

Governments and corporations, the establishment, are more concerned with maintaining power than addressing the real needs of the public.

— Noam Chomsky, linguist and author

I’ve been a member of the Mavericks Project for years, a global network founded by guys I know, buffering against central control. They don't accept all applications because they focus on quality, not quantity.
