By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Without the sun there would be no life on this planet, and your body needs sun exposure for optimal health as well. In fact, the sun can be a great healer, providing benefits that go far beyond vitamin D synthesis. As noted by photobiologist Alexander Wunsch, humans are adapted to sunlight as a complex stimulus that, at the appropriate dosage, helps keep our biological systems running.

The researchers found that schizophrenic patients treated with antipsychotics showed a progressive loss of gray matter in the brain, compared with the healthy
