Start with 10-15 minutes exposure to the face, arms and legs, or the diseased area of the body daily under direct sunlight (not behind a window). Build up to 20-30 minutes daily. Avoid sun burning. Do not use sun block or suntan lotion, they have been proven to be carcinogenic.
To avoid the risk of skin cancer, eliminate all animal fats and heated vegetable oils (this includes almost all commercial oils). Consume your fats as they are found in nature (raw nuts, raw seeds, avocado, olives, corn, etc.).Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits which are rich in antioxidants that will protect your skin.
How Soon Will the Body Absorb Vitamin D That is Made on the Skin?
When your skin is exposed to ultraviolet B radiation from the sun it converts a cholesterol derivative in your skin into vitamin D3. However, this vitamin that is formed is on the surface of your skin does not immediately penetrate into your bloodstream. It actually needs to be absorbed from the surface of your skin into your bloodstream. It takes up to forty-eight hours before you absorb the majority of the vitamin D. That is why ideally you should wash your body without using soap for two full days after sun
exposure if you want all the vitamin D formed to be absorbed by your body.
