Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 This page attempts to reconcile two opposite views of sunlight - sunlight causes cancer vs. sunlight prevents cancer. Exposure of the skin to sunlight is necessary for good health and for thousands of years " solariums " have been an integral part of health spas. However, too much of a good thing can become a bad thing. Ionizing radiation creates free radicals that damage cells and are associated with cancer. Diet (antioxidants) and lifestyle factors can remove the free radicals and accelerate the repair of any damage they have caused. The ultraviolet rays that cause sunburn also produce vitamin D that is necessary for calcium absorption and cancer prevention. Dr. Johanna Budwig suggests that through dietary changes everyone, including cancer patients, can increase their tolerance for sunlight thereby becoming able to enjoy more of the health benefits that sunlight can provide. The impact of sunlight on the skin will become more controversial as the years go by. This is partly due to continued pollution-caused destruction of the earth's ozone layer that blocks UV radiation. However, there is another phenomenon you will be interested to learn about. The earth's magnetic field has been weakening for the past 300+ years. Some scientists believe that this may be the prelude to a flipping of the earth's magnetic poles. This phenomenon happens on average about every 250,000 years. The earth's magnetic field protects all life on earth from solar and cosmic radiation. It has been estimated that the increased radiation reaching the earth's surface during the centuries required to complete the pole flip will cause an additional 100,000 cases of cancer annually (assuming that people fail to learn about antioxidants).
