How Sunscreen Products Actually Promote Cancer

 

* The sunscreen myth: How sunscreen products actually promote cancer

By Mike Adams

Straight to the Source

 

The idea that sunscreen prevents cancer is a myth. It's a myth

promoted by a profit-seeking tag-team effort between the cancer

industry and the sunscreen industry. The sunscreen industry makes

money by selling lotion products that actually contain cancer-causing

chemicals. It then donates a portion of that money to the cancer

industry through non-profit groups like the American Cancer Society

which, in turn, run heart-breaking public service ads urging people to

use sunscreen to " prevent cancer. "

 

The scientific evidence, however, shows quite clearly that sunscreen

actually promotes cancer by blocking the body's absorption of

ultraviolet radiation, which produces vitamin D in the skin. Vitamin

D, as recent studies have shown, prevents up to 77 of ALL cancers in

women (breast cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer,

brain tumors, multiple myeloma... you name it). Meanwhile, the toxic

chemical ingredients used in most sunscreen products are actually

carcinogenic and have never been safety tested or safety approved by

the FDA. They get absorbed right through the skin (a porous organ that

absorbs most substances it comes into contact with) and enter the

bloodstream.

 

The benefits of sunscreen are a myth. Proponents say sunscreen

prevents sunburn, but in fact, the real cause of sunburn is not merely

UV exposure: It is a lack of antioxidant nutrition. Start eating lots

of berries and microalgae (spirulina, astaxanthin, blue-green algae,

etc.), and you'll build up an internal sunscreen that will protect

your skin from sunburn from the inside out. Sunburn is actually caused

by nutritional deficiencies that leave the skin vulnerable to DNA

mutations from radiation, but if you boost your nutrition and protect

your nervous system with plant-based nutrients, you'll be naturally

resistant to sunburn. The same nutrients, by the way, also protect the

optic nerve and eyes from radiation damage. That's why the consumption

of berries and carrots, for example, has historically been associated

with healthy eye function. (The same nutrients that protect the eyes

also protect the skin.)

 

Medical nonsense

 

If sunscreen is so bad for humans, you might ask, then why do so many

doctors recommend using it? This might be hard for you to believe, but

it wasn't too long ago that doctors routinely recommended smoking

cigarettes, too. The Journal of the American Medical Association, in

fact, ran numerous ads promoting Camels as " recommended by more

doctors than any other cigarette! " Doctors talked up the " benefits " of

smoking cigarettes, urging people to start smoking in order to improve

brain function or even -- get this -- make their teeth stronger!

 

The truth is doctors are easily influenced by commercial interests and

can be readily convinced to recommend practically any product, no

matter how toxic, unhealthy or deadly to consumers. Just look at how

many doctors wrote prescriptions for Vioxx, for example, after being

visited by a Vioxx drug rep pushing it as a " miracle drug " for joint pain.

 

Also keep in mind that doctor-prescribed medications are the fourth

leading cause of death in America today. About 100,000 Americans die

each year from following the advice of their doctor. Does it really

make any sense to get your health advice from a group of professionals

who kill more Americans each year than all the terrorists have ever

killed in the history of this country? Besides, doctors know that if

they start recommending sunlight and vitamin D, they'll lose patients

and profits because people will start getting well and have no need to

keep visiting the doctor. Vitamin D, as you will learn in our free

report, The Healing Power of Sunlight and Vitamin D, prevents not only

cancer, but also diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, heart disease and

obesity. It's the miracle nutrient of the millennium, and yet the

entire medical profession tries desperately to pretend that vitamin D

has no biological function whatsoever. Hence the support of sunscreen

(the anti-vitamin D product).

 

Sunscreen directly promotes vitamin D deficiency. You show me a person

who regularly uses sunscreen, and I'll show you a person who's on the

road towards cancer and other degenerative diseases. People who use

sunscreen are killing themselves and they don't even know it!

 

The sunscreen marketing con

 

The marketing of sunscreen is another great example of consumer

product companies fabricating a need in order to sell a high-profit

product made mostly with toxic chemicals. There is no need for

sunscreen, but the cancer industry and sunscreen manufacturers have

created a fictitious need through a campaign of fear and

disinformation, hypnotizing practically the entire population into

believing one of the most ridiculous ideas in the universe: that

sunlight is bad for human health.

 

Think about it. Our ancestors did not have indoor lighting; they

exposed their skin to the sun regularly. They didn't run and hide from

the sun, they used it as nourishment to generate a crucial vitamin

that supports human health in a multitude of ways. The idea that " the

sun is bad for you " makes about as much sense as " water is bad for

you " or " the Earth is flat. " This persistent myth was invented,

marketed and publicized by an industry that profits from a gullible

public believing demonstrable falsehoods.

 

But why would the cancer industry go along with the deception, you

might ask? Because the continued commercial success of the cancer

industry depends on more people getting cancer. In previous articles,

I've clearly shown that the cancer industry has no interest whatsoever

in preventing cancer. The industry, in fact, takes steps to interfere

with prevention efforts and thereby ensure the growth in the number of

future cancer patients.

 

The American Cancer Society, for example, still will not recommend

that anyone take vitamin D supplements, even though the vitamin can

prevent nearly 4 out of 5 cancers. The cancer industry simply has no

interest in preventing cancer. It is only interested in treating

cancer and profiting from those treatments. (That's why genuine cancer

cures have been routinely suppressed, censored or discredited in the

United States.) Read my book, Natural Health Solutions and the

Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them, to learn the shocking

truth about how the cancer industry really operates in America today.

 

The promotion of sunscreen products is a way for the cancer industry

to ensure future profits from the treatment of cancer. The more people

use sunscreen products, the more they'll get cancer. And that's due to

two primary reasons: 1) Sunscreen blocks vitamin D production, a

nutrient that strongly prevents cancer, and 2) Sunscreen products

almost always contain cancer-causing chemicals that are absorbed

through the skin and enter the bloodstream where they cause severe DNA

damage, leading to cancer.

 

Seven important questions about sunscreen The next time you see some

public service advertisement urging you to smother yourself and your

children with sunscreen chemicals, think hard before taking action.

Ask yourself these seven commonsense questions:

 

1) Is the sun really dangerous to humans? If so, how did humans

survive for the last 350,000 years on planet Earth?

 

2) Have the chemicals used in sunscreen products ever been safety

tested or approved by the FDA? (The answer is no.)

 

3) Who financially benefits when you keep buying and using sunscreen

products?

 

4) What is the environmental impact of sunscreen chemicals washing off

into the ocean, a lake, a swimming pool or being washed down the drain

in your shower?

 

5) Sunscreen manufacturers say the skin doesn't absorb their

chemicals. If that's true, then how do nicotine patches work? How do

transdermal drugs get absorbed through the skin if sunscreen chemicals

don't? (Answer: ALL these chemicals get absorbed through the skin. The

skin is not selective about what it chooses to absorb.)

 

6) If the sun is so dangerous, then why is the vitamin generated by

sunlight (vitamin D) so healthy for humans? Why would humans evolve a

mechanism for generating a vitamin from sunlight if we weren't

supposed to be exposed to sunlight in the first place?

 

7) If sunlight is so dangerous, then why is virtually every living

creature on planet Earth dependent on sunlight for survival? Plants

use sunlight to generate their nutrition, too, and most animals eat

either plants or other animals that originally ate plants. Nearly all

life on planet Earth is powered by sunlight. Why does the cancer

industry believe sunlight causes death when, in reality, sunlight

delivers life?

 

Once you answer these questions, the reality of the situation becomes

obvious: Sunlight is good for you, and sunscreen is a hoax.

 

Action items Be sure to read our free report on this: The Healing

Power of Sunlight and Vitamin D. This provides tips on how to safely

gauge your level of exposure to sunlight. Don't just rush out and get

burned; boost your nutrition and work up a natural tan as nature intended.

 

See the article: Vitamin D slashes cancer risk by 77 percent.

If you choose to buy sunscreen, only buy natural sunscreen products

containing no petrochemicals! One brand I recommend is Caribbean Blue

Natural Basics " Sun Shield. " You can find more at www.gocaribbeanblue.com

 

Smearing berries on your skin also works as a natural sunscreen, as

does smearing aloe vera gel on your skin. Amazon Herb Co. distributors

use a product called Camu C Serum as a natural suncreen. It works

great! http://www.amazondreams.amazonherb.net

 

The best sunscreen, however, is an internal sunscreen built with

nutrition. Eat chlorella, spirulina, goji berries, raspberries,

blackberries, blueberries, astaxanthin, carrots and nutrient-rich

superfoods to boost your skin's natural UV protection (takes about 30

days of nutrition to boost skin levels).
