Can the Sun Help You Prevent MS?

For the last few years we have talked about very little else other than why it is important to stay away from sunlight. We thoroughly understand the dangers associated with it and do every little thing we can think of to keep it away from us. We slather on layers and layers of the highest SPF sunscreens that we can find. We use gigantic hats. We use long sleeves in addition to pant legs even in the warmest of heat. We do our best to remain only in the shady areas--some have even started holding parasols and umbrellas all around so that their skin never comes into contact with direct sunlight.


Some people think that perfumes like Michael Kors Perfume will protect their skin from the sun but that is not for certain.



Now we are starting to appreciate that sunlight can actually help us. Can sunshine actually help you?

A new study has been done and it indicates that people who allow some time in direct natural light aren't as likely to get MS as the people who do everything they can to keep out of the sun. Originally the study was to see how Vitamin D impacted the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. It didn't take much time for them to realize that it is the Vitamin D our bodies generate after exposure to sunlight that is at the center of the issue.



It's been recognized for a very long time that Vitamin D and the sun's rays can effect the way the immune system works and how it can contribute to Multiple Sclerosis. This specific study, though, is focused on how the sun's rays affects the people who are starting to experience the very earliest of MS symptoms. The target of the study is to discover how sunlight and Vitamin D might have an affect on the symptoms doctors call "precursor" to actual symptoms of the disease.



Sadly, at this time there aren't really very many ways that really prove whether or not the hypothesis of this study are true. This study is attempting to demonstrate whether or not sunlight can really help a person prevent Multiple Sclerosis. Unfortunately, the researchers discovered, the only way to that is to watch people over the course of their lives. This is the only way to properly evaluate the currently existent levels of Vitamin D in a person’s blood before the symptoms of MS start to show themselves. The way it appears now, and has stood (widely recognized) for a long time is that people who live in warm and sunny climates and who get more exposure to direct natural light are less likely to develop MS than those who live in dark or cold climates and get very little exposure to the sun.



The fact that the risk of developing skin cancer goes up proportionally to the amount of time you spend in direct sunlight (without protection) is also a problem. So, in an attempt to stave off one condition, you could be causing yourself to develop a different one. Of course, if you get skin cancer early on enough you are a lot more likely to cure it. MS still has no cure.



So what should you do: chance skin cancer or chance MS? Ask your physician if this is an excellent idea. Your health care provider can examine your current health status, your history and even your genetics to determine if you are even at risk for the disease in the first place. From here a family doctor should be able to help you decide the best course of action.
