We Winter Challenged REALLY Have a Problem

Those of us who are Winter Challenged sometimes cause hesitancy and head scratching among health providers. When the Winter Challenged seek help from our family practitioners, we are frequently tested for such conditions as: underactivity of the thyroid, hypoglycemia, or perhaps chronic viral infections such as the Epstein-Barr virus. And these tests regularly come out negative, causing our health providers to wonder if we are simply haunting their offices because we like the magazines in the waiting room. And causing us to feel faintly guilty for taking up the time of busy professionals.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real condition, for which there is no laboratory test. According to Normal Rosenthal, MD, "The diagnosis is made on the basis of history alone."

So if you think you may be one of us, the Winter Challenged, if you just get run down when the short days come, suggest to your family doctor that you may have SAD and tell him or her the symptoms. If that is the problem, BioBrite has the tools that may allow you to beat the winter and let the sunshine in.

The Earth is Tilting Towards Short Days in the North

Uh ohh. It is happening right on schedule. Mornings are starting to take longer to get here and nightfall is creeping down the clock face from 9 towards 5.

Those of us among the Winter Challenged know to get the lights ready, for our 20 minutes to one hour daily sessions with powerful UV free lighting that we use to lighten up our psychic load in the bleak winter months.

We at BioBrite would like to remind you that we invented and patented and are selling our Delux Light Visor for the Winter Challenged. We even conducted the research (reviewed by the National Institute of Health and NASA) that shows that our Deluxe Light Visors are as effective as a full sized light box.

And the neat thing is, when you are wearing a Deluxe Light Visor for a therapeutic light session, you can still move around, get your coffee, or get your treadmiling done for the day. That kind of two-fer is enough to brighten anyone's day.
