Unfortunately calls to Zeiss and Oakley found them only covering UV-A and UV-B, some covered UV-C wavelengths but not IR. And the curved, wrap-arounds that could have a prescription placed in them weren't available anywhere that I looked.....until recently. Now, you can get some real nice wrap-arounds from NOIR that have the ability to have prescription lenses placed inside them. When you go to the Noir website, you won't find them immediately. You need to go to the Noir laser site (link below) & you can find them as the # 34's and can have all the benefits of the traditional Noir wavelengths blocked + prescription lenses placed. I believe they are a take-off on glacier glasses for mountain climbers. My friends say I look pretty cool now!

	First off I have found that if I must be in the hot sun I must protect most of my body from the sun rays that pierces clothing and causes heat directly from contact. I prefer to wear a large lined black hooded loose fitting trench coat with hood that completely blocks the sun rays from getting near my skin. Thin black clothing just attracts the sun and makes the skin feel hot so the coat or cover must be thick enough to block all rays while fitting loose allowing skin to breath. While the coat seems hot it actually keeps you much cooler as it blocks out all sun. And an umbrella is a must for face and head.

	I personally like the styles that do not require ice as it melts fast and it’s hard to replace the ice when you’re out, and ice is often uncomfortably cold. However these styles only require quickly soaking in water. I can use a public rest room or pack a small carry thermal case with cold/icy water and rewet there if necessary. I bought two sets of wristlets and wear the 2nd on my ankles, or place one wet under bra or under panty line. Sorry to be so graphic but hey whatever cools us down.

-	In patients who get enough natural light on their skin on a regular basis, 1,25-D can elevate high enough to become immunosuppressive and stop bacterial killing. A study of frequent tanners found that the practice has an addictive quality – an effect which, according to the Marshall Pathogenesis, is due to systematic immunosuppression of high levels of 1,25-D.(({{pubmed>long:16546596}}))	+	In patients who get enough natural light on their skin on a regular basis, 1,25-D can elevate high enough to become immunosuppressive and stop bacterial killing.

	However, most MP patients do //not// get enough regular continuous light exposure on their skin to offset the olmesartan (Benicar) blockade. They can, however, get a surge of natural light exposure that causes an increase in symptoms due to rapid fluctuation of hormones including 1,25-D.

-	A recent study in mice cast doubt upon the skin as a major producer of 25-D, even though they it was shown that UV exposure on the skin likely does suppress the immune system through multiple pathways.(({{pubmed>long:20308557}})) It is possible the effect on the body is to cause the catalysis of 25-D systemically, although nobody seems quite sure of that just yet.	+	A recent study in mice cast doubt upon the skin as a major producer of 25-D, even though they it was shown that UV exposure on the skin likely does suppress the immune system through multiple pathways.(({{pmid>long:20308557}})) It is possible the effect on the body is to cause the catalysis of 25-D systemically, although nobody seems quite sure of that just yet.

-	The optic nerve directly connects each eye to the brain, possibly the body's most sensitive organ. Thus, light is transmitted to the brain via the eyes. Coursing through the portion of the brain known as the amygdala are nerves connecting it to a number of important brain centers, including the neocortex and visual cortex. Many types of angiotensin receptors are known to be active in the brain. This can have the profound effect of stimulating portions of the brain to cause significant neurological symptoms.	+	The optic nerve directly connects each eye to the brain, possibly the body's most sensitive organ.

	This stimulation of the brain causes many of the neurological symptoms that are so bothersome to individuals with Th1 inflammation. Neurological symptoms include fatigue, irritability, aggressiveness, lack of concentration, brain fog, loss of memory, poor judgement, confusion, anger (Lyme rage), mood swings, anxiety, inattentiveness, poor problem-solving, fear, neurosis and even psychosis.

-	In the case of immunopathology – which is generated during the MP and a key part of the recovery process – inflammation from intracellular bacteria affects many areas of the brain, making it difficult to differentiate between neurological symptoms from light stimulation and from immunopathology. Dr. Brian Fallon's study on Lyme found from SPECT data that the main metabolic changes in the brain were in the region of the parahippocampal gyrus.(({{pubmed>long:12928508}})) This area is responsible for receiving sensory input from the outside world, integrating it, and projecting it onto the hippocampus, which controls memory, and the amygdala, which is in charge of fear, aggression, and mood. Negative symptoms associated with memory, fear, aggression, and mood can certainly be exacerbated by light.	+	In the case of immunopathology – which is generated during the MP and a key part of the recovery process – inflammation from intracellular bacteria affects many areas of the brain, making it difficult to differentiate between neurological symptoms from light stimulation and from immunopathology.

	There are two different and independent phenomena, which occur when one is on the MP, both of which are correlated with a temporary rapid rise in 1,25-D: photosensitivity symptoms and [[home:mp:immunopathology\|immunopathology]]. Differentiating between immunopathology and photosensitivity symptoms is very important as the former is necessary for progress on the treatment and the latter is not.

	The only radiation which is important when considering 1,25-D generation is radiation that carries considerable energy with it. For a given intensity of radiation, UV is the most energetic. The energy falls off with increasing wavelength (towards visible and IR). There still is enough energy for individuals with Th1 disease to sense, and be affected by, in hot plates and direct-radiation saunas, but lower intensities of IR energy do not cause any problems. The important characteristic of IR energy is that it cannot be seen.		The only radiation which is important when considering 1,25-D generation is radiation that carries considerable energy with it.
