Hi Sheri!
That's a good question for your MCP (Morgie Care Provider)!
I tan. I noticed each time I tanned during the Morg, I'd feel a huge blast of wellness and have lots o energy. I'm for doing it like once a week now.
I read recently that tanning (sun or bed) makes the bod produce Vit D (search the forums, a lot of us have had good results adding Vit D into our protocols.).
I'm for sun vs. fake always, but I'm in PA so, waah...
I heard that UVB bulbs (I think there's 2 diff kinds of bulbs - ?) vs UVA, that UVB bulbs kill up to 16 diff. kinds of bacteria, like staph...Not sure.
Also, of note: RDA did a study, I think this August about the potential miracles of Vitamin D.
I'd say whatever you do run it & all by your MCP - I was trying some wicked antibiotic and I tanned w/out asking the MD that prescribed and there was some photosensitivity risk or something I didn't know about. I got hives all over and my ears swelled up. I quit taking the antibiotic cuz I'm not a fan of Big Pharma, anyway
