The bottom line is at the end, but I included the whole paragraph for context because the link goes to a download.
Photosensitivity has become a big problem in the industrial world: people get itchy skin or a rash after being exposed to the sun. These are people who have stored lots of toxins in the skin, and the sun is trying to remove them. Beta-carotene in supplements or in a freshly pressed carrot juice targets the skin and helps to detoxify it. So, before the sunny season starts, take a 2-3 months course of beta-carotene or drink lots of carrot juice (to the point of getting an orange tinge to your skin, which is harmless by the way). People of Viking origin may have a problem with sunbathing: they find it difficult do not tan and burn easily. These are people with red hair, freckles and very light skin. If you look at history of Vikings, they subsisted on oily fish getting large amounts of vitamin D and cholesterol in their diet. So, they did not need to produce vitamin D in their skin, which compensated for the lack of sunlight in their environment. So, for these people it is important to start sunbathing slowly and build the time in the sun gradually, while eating lots of oily fish. I know some of these people who also improved their ability to sunbath after a course of beta-carotene.
