Been doing a lot of research on indoor lighting as of late. Traditional light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, color rendition, spectrum analysis, Seasonal affective Disorder, color temperature, EMF's, disposal, and known toxins used in manufacturing the bulbs/tubes... Where do I find the time? Heh he. Anything to improve health and happiness... What we're here for, no?

Here's is what I have found in layman’s terms... Summarized...

As far as regular bulbs go, the best I have found are Full Spectrum Bulbs, with color temperatures in-between 5000 and 6500K. This will give a nice, cool, artificial sunlight with color rendition anywhere between 90 and 100%. Especially good for those who get depressed in the winter (Seasonal Affective Disorder) as they are getting the full spectrum of light... All seven colors that is... Taste the rainbow, huh? And less stressful to everyone! Proven with Spectral Aural Photography (developed by NASA) and, applied Kinesiology. Regular bulbs filter out certain colors and amplify others. This serves to make the light more aesthetically pleasing, but, stresses out your mind and body as the light is completely unnatural, and lacking essential wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum... Bummer... Literally.

So... Try and replace all the bulbs in your house with full spectrum. Shouldn't be too spendy... The best place to get the bulbs in my experience are the internet, and, Menard's (if you have one in your area.) I was disappointed with Lowe's and The Home Depot, as they only carried Phillips, and Sylvania brand bulbs... Not very good, and high in environmental toxins. Try and make sure that the regular bulbs you purchase use neodymium, a rare Earth metal, and, try and get the fluorescent tubes that use low, or, better yet, NO mercury... Better for you, better for Mother Earth, and, easier to dispose of! I have found good bulbs anywhere from 5-9 dollars... Chromalux is a good brand that comes to mind... Veralux, Ultralux, Paralite, Sunrizr, etc... There are a TON of companys manufacturing the bulbs. Do your homework. As far as fluorescents go... Westinghouse is my favorite right now. They have the highest color rendition rating I have found in a reasonable price range ($9 for a 48" tube). The color rendition rating was 94. Not bad! Anything over 89 is pretty good though...

The bulbs last nearly forever (rated at 20,000 hours)... They will make you feel better... They really aren't that expensive... Write down the lengths, sizes, wattages, you want... And... Get 'er done! No excuses class... Any Q's, you know who to ask. Late.

P.S. Don't overeat. Ayurvedic wisdom recommends eating the amount you can hold in two cupped hands (your hands, that is.) If you are still hungry after eating this amount. One of a few things is goin' on.

1) You're eating to fast...

2) You aren't chewing you food thoughrly enough...

3) You are eating while stressed or nervous/in a hurry. Sit down. Relax. Don't read or listen to music that's too loud. Avoid TV (In fact... Kill it...). Try and avoid major sources of EMF (electro magnetic frequency) too... Fridges, microwaves, air conditioners, water heaters, circuit breakers, tower speakers, etc. Ask the food to be blessed, bless it yourself. Thank it for being there and nourishing you... Now then... Enjoy your meal.

4) You are malnourished. Cleanse your colon and liver!



Overeating should be treated as an addiction... Find the cause ( likely one of the above...) and fix it. Best of health...
