 Vitamin D deficiency affects 1 billion people worldwide¹. A review of the medical and scientific journals reveal that this pandemic may be correlated to many disease states plaguing the population².

MediSun Technology has engineered a breakthrough technology that increases vitamin D without the harmful effects of solar radiation. SUCCESSFUL CLINICAL TRIALS TO SAFELY INCREASE VITAMIN D WERE COMPLETED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, CHAMPAIGN-URBANA. THE RESULTING CLINICAL TRIAL PAPER HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO A WELL RESPECTED PEER REVIEWED MEDICAL JOURNAL.

The Mayo Clinic,3 the New England Journal of Medicine,4 Harvard Medical School,5 Massachusetts Institute of Technology6 and many other institutions agree that maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D — which actually is not a vitamin but a pre-steroidal hormone that is produced predominantly through skin exposure to UVB rays 7 — can save your life.8

Internationally recognized physicians, scientists, and institutions believe that Vitamin D derived from phototherapy is more effective than both controlled sun exposure as well as supplementation.

Leading medical experts recognize that Vitamin D strengthens our immune system and protects against disease9 Recent meta-analyses and comprehensive studies have shown increases in Vitamin D minimizing the risk of developing breast and colon cancers;10 11 12 reducing symptoms and risk of of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson’s;13 14 15 and improving overall strength and wellness.16

Despite vitamin D’s many proven benefits, vitamin D deficiency has become a world wide epidemic. According to recent statistics, over one billion people, one seventh of the population, are now suffering from vitamin D deficiency.17 It is now one of the most common medical conditions.18 In the U.S., it has been estimated that three out of four Americans are vitamin D-deficient.19

MediSun Technology has developed a breakthrough vitamin D phototherapy device that may help prevent and mitigate the risks and symptoms of neurological conditions including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmune disorders, and cancer. There are also significant findings that show potential benefits for traumatic brain injury, concussion, and depression

MediSun Technology, in conjunction with medical device engineers and scientists have developed a revolutionary, state of the art vitamin D light therapy — MediSun — to naturally deliver the vitamin D your body needs, while avoiding the sun’s harmful rays.

Recently, clinical studies have shown that phototherapy for the treatment of vitamin D deficiency may be three times more effective than controlled sun exposure20 and eight times more effective than supplementation in increasing vitamin D.21 In fact, MIT research has shown that only vitamin D produced through the skin by light can have the transformative benefits that minimize the risk of disease, increase neurological function, and improve the immune system.22

PHOTOTHERAPY – NO INCREASED RISK

In a study examining the effects of phototherapy, there has been no significant increase in the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma associated with long-term exposure to UVB over 25 years.38 Similarly, a 10 year follow up study of patients exposed to phototherapy showed no significant increase in the risk of skin cancer.39 Conversely, a recent large-scale study following nearly 30,000 women over 20 years, found that women who avoid UVB are at increased risk of skin melanomas and are twice as likely to die from any cause, including cancer.40

Sun Health Research Sun Health and MediSun Research and Development

MediSun has developed the only clinically proven medical device to significantly increase vitamin D and the potential to increase immunomodulation to treat MS using NB UVB.

Based on completed clinical trials, with the University of Illinois, the results were better than expected by significantly increasing vitamin D by 64% in eight weeks and showing the potential to increase immunomodulation, which could provide prevention and treatment of MS and also, according to www.womenshealth.gov, eighty autoimmune diseases, without pharmaceuticals. Our clinical trial paper has been submitted for publication in a well respected peer reviewed medical journal.

The company has created the only successful clinically tested narrow band UVB device. These devices have the potential to prevent and treat everything from MS to diabetes to pain to sepsis to PTSD and TBI without pharmaceuticals or opioids. The UVB phototherapy devices will also increase vitamin D in geriatrics to reduce falls and fractures.
