Light's Influence on Body and Health Theorized
Dr. Moore argues light affects health and vitality, claiming darkness degrades the body. He cites Swiss valleys as example where shaded areas see higher illness and suggests light exposure prevents idiocy and deformity, while epidemic patterns favor the shady side of streets. He also notes home brightness and air quality as health determinants and shares a dubious diphtheria cure involving pepper and tonics.
