WHY Sunning Your Balls Raises Your Testosterone & Mood
HINT: It's not what you think, it's not magick or woo, it's SCIENCE
Join me as I explain what is destroying your balls, bros
And how sunlight and/or UV-B light on your balls shuts down this destructive process
/ thread /
First, the main study that all of this is based on:
Small study, only 5 ppl
UV lamp (NOT sun!) was applied to the either the chest or genital region of men for amt of time (up to 20 min) across consecutive days (up to 5)
tahomaclinic.com/Private/Articl…
So what happened?
"After 5 irradiations of the *chest*, the hormone output [androsterone] was to 155 i.u./L, that is, an of 120%"
"After 5 irradiations [of the *genitals*] during 6 days, the androsterone excretion was from 70 to 205 i.u./L, nearly 200%"
Not bad
What happened after UV exposure was STOPPED?
Chest: "5 days w/o tx, output fell back to 80 i.u./L...examination 2.5 wks later showed it to be again 70 i.u./L"
Genitals: "10-day interval w/o irradiation, hormone output went back to its ‘normal’ level of about 70 i.u./L"
We can assume something happened while the UV lamp was applied
This effect faded away once the UV lamp exposure was removed
Theory: What if the UV lamp was detoxing/destroying testicular toxin(s) while applied, only to have the testicles re-toxify after the UV lamp was stopped?
Let's clear something else up first
All studies I've seen on T changes d/t light exposure in animals & humans are done w UV lamps
NONE were w sunlight
This is important
"They" say:
- sunlight=bad
- tanning=bad
- rat poison D3 supps (TeraD3 & D-Con)=good
I say the opposite
Them: "I would NEVER take warfarin or coumadin, that stuff is RAT POISON!!!"
Me: "[chuckles] So, have you heard about the active ingredient in TeraD3 or D-Con rat poison?"
It's vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
Big Pharma makes warfarin/coumadin & D3
Screenshots below
It's not very scientific to:
- use studies to claim UV light benefits are the *same as the sun*
- while also claiming that UV lamps & tanning beds are *all bad*
Pick a side, bucko
This site is great & debunks fearmongering garbage science on UV/tanning:
thetanningguru.com
Big question:
Is there a compound that is BOTH known to be toxic to testicular function AND that is detoxed/destroyed by UV light?
Yes. Yes, there is
This compound is the toxin known as "vitamin" A
I'll elaborate (you know I always do)
Let's show some studies in actual humans
Then we'll get to (much less valuable) cell-based (in vitro) studies
The human studies always trump everything else
While we're here, you should know there is NO DIFFERENCE in toxicity bw NATURAL & SYNTHETIC forms of "vit" A, see below:
Many claim that natural & "synthetic" forms of vitamin A (vA) are different...they say:
- Natural forms are not toxic & synthetic is
- Somehow, even though they are CHEMICALLY IDENTICAL, they function vastly differently
They are quite wrong, I'll show you in research here
On to the human (in vivo) studies
"vit" A in Egyptian men, testosterone
Study:
Estradiol Testosterone Ratio, Serum Retinol Binding Protein 4 and Insulin Resistance in Overweight and Obese Egyptian Men
ibimapublishing.com/articles/OBES/…
Results following
RBP4 levels, which mean "vit" A levels were assoc w:
*** testosterone***
estrogen
estrogen to testosterone ratio (bad)
Body Mass Index (BMI), aka fatter men
waist circumference, aka fatter belly
insulin resistance (bad)
THAT'S BAD. What about women?
Same thing in women
Study:
Retinol-binding protein 4 is elevated & is associated with free testosterone & TSH in postmenopausal
NOTE: Retinol-binding protein-4 is a valid surrogate test for blood "vitamin" A levels
What did it show?
In postmenopausal women:
RBP4 levels aka "vit" A =
***free testosterone***
TSH (bad)
In premenopausal women:
RBP4 aka "vit" A =
BMI aka fatter women
None of that is good
Sure does establish a pattern in HUMANS though!
link.springer.com/article/10.327…
Now that I've demonstrated that more "vit" A floating around the blood equals lower Testosterone
Does "vitamin" A damage the testicles in other ways, such as related to sperm production (the recent hot topic for health goo-roos to tweet about)?
"Animal Vit A" aka retinol, damages sperm-producing Sertoli cells:
Study:
Retinol supplementation induces oxidative stress & modulates antioxidant enzyme activities in rat sertoli cells
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11328675/
"Active Vit A" (all-trans retinoic acid) destroys sperm-producing Sertoli cells:
"RA at high doses (1-10 microM) TBARS levels & induced a in cell viability"
Viability = the ability to function adequately
That's not good
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16479320/
Any human evidence of "vit" A weakening sperm?
"men who consumed organ meats had significantly progressive sperm motility & LH levels than men who did not consume organ meats"
For most, organ meats = liver = "vit" A
LH = T levels
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
More below
Warning! Are you still eating TOXIC organ meats?
In this thread, I'll cover the evidence that ALL organ meats, including wild, grassfed, and conventional animals are filled w toxins

More reproductive system destruction
Accutane is 13-cis retinoic acid & is an "active" form of "vit" A in the body
Some of the retinol you eat turns into Accutane aka 13-cis retinoic acid, there is no denying this biochemistry
See images below for what "active vit A" destroys
"Active vitamin A" ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS sexual function
See images
vA, in its active forms absolutely destroys male & female reproductive systems
Bill Gates LOVES "vitamin" A. Coincidence? Hardly
Don't give him what he wants
rxisk.org/wp-content/upl…
What happens when MALE baby mice can't break down retinoic acid ("active vit A")?
"in which endogenous RA is not degraded, develop mild ovotestes, but more important, steroidogenesis is impaired & the reproductive tract feminized"
Ovaries in their balls
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30067986/
Did you know pharma is researching male birth control via STOPPING the detoxification process of "vit" A?
Must be pretty toxic to the balls then! See below
FYI, female birth control has been shown to "vit" A in blood since 1975 (for a future thread)
Weird coincidences, no?
"Inhibiting vitamin A metabolism as an approach to male contraception"
Let me translate this. They mean that if the natural, normal DETOX process of toxic "vitamin" A is SLOWED, it makes men INFERTILE
Bill Gates loves "vitamin" A for a reason, folks! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21277790/
After all that evidence of "vit" A damaging, mutating, and debilitating normal testicular function...
Does UV light detox/destroy "vit" A?
"ultraviolet irradiation causes a functional vitamin A deficiency"
Yes. Yes, it does this via oxidation
nature.com/articles/nm049…
Scrotal (ballsack) skin is not very thick, and light easily penetrates it
This is why UV light applied to the balls caused a greater of T than the chest
It directly detoxes/destroys "vit" A in the balls
Both approaches work, 1 worked better
This is the connection

MEN...you DON'T have to take Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) to fix your depression & low T levels!
What you have is a combo of TOXICITIES & DEFICIENCIES
TRT is a band-aid cover-up
It does *nothing* to fix the problems I'll cover in this /thread/
