Many Sunscreens Increase Skin Cancer Risk, FDA Has Known for a Decade But Done Nothing
A new report issued by the consumer protection organization Environmental Working Group (EWG) reveals that many popular sunscreens contain ingredients known to spur the growth and spread of skin cancer cells, which defeats their stated purpose of preventing skin cancer. Data indicates that the sun’s rays combine with certain sunscreen ingredients in the skin and damage skin cells, which can lead to lesions and tumors.
Lack of Vitamin D May Have Killed Mozart
During his short life, Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart suffered from many of the era’s common illnesses, including smallpox, typhoid fever, tonsillitis and upper respiratory tract infections. What exactly it was that killed him in December 1791 at age 35, however, is still a matter of debate — with theories ranging from poisoning to renal disease. Now, two researchers offer a new theory: vitamin D deficiency. In his high-latitude home in Austria, Mozart was probably running low on the sunshine vitamin for half the year.

Vitamin D has finally become accepted by the mainstream medical community to be a powerful nutrient that is necessary for proper health function. Vitamin D has been found to slash the risk of multiple cancer types (including skin cancer), aid in fat loss, and even prevent diabetes.

Can Vitamin D Lower Your Risk of Melanoma?
Taking vitamin D may help protect women who have already had non-melanoma skin cancers against a much deadlier form of the disease, suggests a new study.

4 Natural Methods for Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis
Arthritis is an autoimmune disease which causes joints to suffer. About 22% of adults report having doctor-diagnosed arthritis, with 50% of adults over 65 reporting an arthritis diagnosis. One of the most common forms of arthritis is rheumatoid arthritis, which sends millions of people to seek medical attention every year. The medical establishment continues to push drugs and surgery as treatments for such conditions, but there is little time spent focusing on preventative measures.
Study Confirms Sun Exposure Protects Against Skin Cancer
As a fair-haired Scot with freckles and pale skin I’m a classic case to be more at risk from melanoma. Getting quite badly sunburned on my nose years ago in Spain has pushed my risk up further. To say I’ve been wary about the sun is an understatement — I specialise in treating patients with advanced melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. I was also in Australia 30 years ago at the start of the Slip-Slop-Slap campaign to warn people to keep out of the sun, and for seven years I never went swimming without being covered in sun lotion and wearing a T-shirt.
Vitamin D Found to Reduce Radiation Damages
As understanding of Vitamin D increases, it is becoming apparent that its most active form, Vitamin D3 (calcitriol), may offer protection against a variety of radiation-induced damages. Vitamin D’s protective action is carries by a wide variety of mechanisms, including cell cycle regulation and proliferation, cellular differentiation and communication, and programmed cell death (apoptosis).
Should You Use Sunscreen?
The debate about sunscreens rages on. Dermatologists advise slathering up every day. Nutritionists and holistic doctors advise sun exposure to get vitamin D. Some even say sunscreens cause cancer, and a disturbing study showed that people who used more commercial sunscreen had more melanoma. Where is the truth? We might never know. Sunscreen manufacturers need to sell their product and natural sunscreen companies have little money for research.
Vitamin D Better than Pharmaceuticals at Treating Cancer
Everyone is deathly afraid of coming down with cancer, yet the very lifestyle that promotes cancer is the most popular. Cancer has been one of the leading causes of death in the United States, UK, and many other nations for years. Something is terribly wrong as the war on cancer is failing miserably.
