Internal ultraviolet luminescence--internal carcinomas

The ultraviolet wavelengths in the sun's spectrum are known to be a basic cause of carcinomas of the skin. Since the skin as well as all body cavities, linings, and glands are composed of epithelial cells, it has been suggested that the ultraviolet bioluminescence and chemiluminescence which are emitted by bodily functions may be just as basic a cause of carcinomas within the body. Ninety percent of all human cancers are carcinomas. Bodily functions which emit a "normal" background of ultra-violet emission can be caused to emit higher, more dangerous levels and bursts of radiation by synergistic combinations of foods and chemicals. Damaging effects can also be increased by the sensitization of the epithelia to radiation by foods, dyes, drugs, medications, and prior irradiation. Certain foods and chemicals also produce serious damage at specific sites within the body. If the role of ultraviolet suggested here proves to be correct, an entirely new approach to the knowledge, prevention, and treatment of carcinomas becomes available.
