I live in California, have red hair, and spend time outside (without sunscreen). When my mother was diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency, I looked up the symptoms, and decided to ask my doctor about it. Apparently, the test for it is not part of the usual tests they run. I was surprised to find my levels were almost zero. The doctor prescribed 50,000 IU once a week. However, whenever I stop taking them, my levels immediately drop. It might be hereditary but it seems to be becoming more common. Most people here only apply sunscreen when they know they are going to be out all day.SnowChieftainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13505478726731195430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-12529003180387873922014-10-28T23:35:42.435-07:002014-10-28T23:35:42.435-07:00Cancerous lesions on the skin can quickly be remov...Cancerous lesions on the skin can quickly be removed by black salve (Cansema). You can diagnose yourself by simply applying it to questionable moles. If it is cancerous, it will be removed in a few days with a single application, if not the salve simply has no effect. The Mohs procedure is basically the same, except the MDs unnecessarily cut away the tissue surrounding it, and mark up the price by an order of magnitude.CaseyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04983734961647056194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-66207443101289785182013-12-17T09:48:23.616-08:002013-12-17T09:48:23.616-08:00I just tried the Vitamin D calculator at http://na...I just tried the Vitamin D calculator at http://nadir.nilu.no/~olaeng/fastrt/VitD-ez_quartMED.html mentioned above.

Coming to a toal of around 40%, which is 8 times higher in one century! <br /><br />Of course, 65% of funding for cancer resarch goes to females.

One of the things he mentioned is that we've only had skin cancers since we've had sun cream. <br /><br />If you look back at photos of farm workers pre sun cream, there's no actual sign of skin lesions and these were people who spent their entire lives in the sun.<br /><br />Makes you wonder what all those chemicals people rub into their skin do when they're warmed up by the sun. None of our family use sun cream anymore.Col.

Many of the degenerative brain problems could be eliminated by taking these oils. There is a direct connection with the Omega-3s and brain function and health. I believe these oils can help people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and all sorts of mental related problems. There are no side effects from the Omega-3s so it cannot hurt for anyone with a brain disorder to take them. If you are depressed, trying taking Omega-3s, it might prove to greatly help you. The best way to look at the Omega-3s and the brain is to compare it with oil for an engine. Without oil, and engine ceases and stops. Without the Omega-3s the brain “ceases” and stops functioning.<br /><br />The Omega-3s are wonderful for the blood and for keeping cholesterol low and balanced. These oils protect the heart and circulatory system from plaque build up. You must take the Omega-3s for your heart’s health. Pregnant women need the Omega-3s for a both her health and the baby’s. </i>"dienwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16878081733638742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-44935118781060040422010-06-01T09:21:38.877-07:002010-06-01T09:21:38.877-07:00Curious.

I'll never burn again for the rest of the summer after a bit of initial burn. <br /><br />I completely agree that we coddle ourselves into illness by hiding from nature - ie. Sunscreen. <br /><br />About a decade ago, when I started learning to fly, I took to wearing sunglasses while in the cockpit... and it stuck with me and I began wearing sunglasses way more often than I should have. <br /><br />Today, I am trying to wean myself off of sunglasses. But it is hard. Now, even on overcast days but where the clouds are bright, instead of dark, as soon as I step outside or drive my car, even bright clouds strain my eyes, and I crave my shades... in sunlight it is almost unbearable to be without sunglasses, and yet I remember going for 30 years without hardly ever wearing shades, and never experienced eye strain. <br /><br />Hopefully I can get my eyeballs back to normal where I don't feel like dracula without them. <br /><br />I know - kinda off topic, but not really. <br /><br />All of this protective shit harms us in ways we might not realize until later..https://www.blogger.com/profile/00954715060471574125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-75912091177554507252010-05-31T20:59:11.197-07:002010-05-31T20:59:11.197-07:00I skip the sunscreen 99% of the time, and I have r...I skip the sunscreen 99% of the time, and I have really fair skin and do burn. But I know I can do about 20 minutes in the sun without burning - so I just time myself and then head for the shade. At the beach, I do use sunscreen because I don't go often and so am there longer when we do go.<br /><br />One thing I've noticed is that no matter how long I'm in the sun my calves never burn. The backs, at the knees will, but the shins and up - I could lay out all day, and they won't get anything. I have no idea why this is.<br /><br />In any case, I've had the same bottle of sunscreen for about 5 years now, and it's about used up.

Something they forget to tell you after the CFC panic of the 90s.<br /><br />On my course we critically analysed if sun exposure leads to skin cancers.<br /><br />From my own conclusions, the amount of skin cancer diagnoses is going up mainly because doctors can be bothered to biopsy any mole that looks dodgy (where before, they simply removed it), which picks up Stage 1 cancers.<br /><br />Chronic exposure can lead to an increase in 'rodent ulcers' (basal cell carcinomas, not terribly lethal), whilst having multiple acute sunburns in childhood can increase your risk as well.<br /><br />With regard to vitamin D from sun exposure, most people need 15 minutes of ('unprotected') sun exposure a day, although diet makes up partially for this (especially in the winter)<br /><br />And sun cream does have its uses. If I'm holiday, I want to be in the sun all day. Not going to happen without some cream (trust me, I've tried without it.

And I say that as someone who burns all too easily, tho I am not a redhead myself.<br /><br />I am, however, in the northern climes and it is important to supplement as we don't see the sun enough. And during the winter the sun is at such an angle that even in full sun not enough rays get to the skin to make sufficient vitamin D, and that is from the people telling us that we only need a few minutes a day on our hands and face, which always sounded like bunkum to me. In the Seattle area we are now being told that we should supplement with 2000-8000 units a day as opposed to the 400 recommended in the USRDA. I'm cool with the 2000, tho not too sure about that upper limit myself.

I used to work for a company that markets some of the "best" and most costly sun care products on the market. Reading the ingredient list was like reading the recipe for toxin laden waste compelling me to speculate that the sunscreens themselves contribute to cancer. <br /><br />There are some people who do legitimately need to avoid the sun and attain vit d supplementation from other sources. People who suffer with lupus come to mind as the illness is aggravated by the heat and sun of summer. My poor sister has lupus and winds up requiring pain killer ever time she's been out for more than ten minutes during off-peak summer hours. Poor girl. :( For the rest of us, however, we'd do well to heed your advice.<br /><br />Wide brim sunhats and sipping drinks in the shade are still lovely ways to pass the day. Let us hope such pleasant bits of summer never go out of style. It does seem as if the sunhat has gone the way of the dinosaur though, as displayed so well by the raves I receive from people when I'm out about in my pretty hat and pearls throughout the summer months. All women need a pretty summer hat to go with the sundresses!Hestiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987917145065027448noreply@blogger.com
