Can sunscreens actually accelerate promote cancer?

Live healthy and long

From Dr Mercola

There is a growing debate on the use of sunscreen vs suns rays which can be cause of skin cancer. The Neutrogena giant, subsidiary of J & J has been spending and promoting a lot with Canadian Cancer Society on use of sunscreens.

What are the sides of the issues:

l.  Dermatologists recommend use of sunscreens to prevent skin cancer from suns harmful rays and use of eyewear. (Use of bull cap or baseball cap would be better.

2.  Regular exposure to sunlight rather than intermittent exposure  may actually decrease risk of cancer.  Why Vit D from sunlight is an anti cancer agent.

3. Sunscreen actually contain a lot of toxic chemicals that are carcinogenic as oxybenzone.

Eating vegetables rich in anti oxidants (as carotenoids) help prevent skin cancer (as these nutrients protec the planst from the sun's deadly UV rays.

Do you agree with the position of Dr. Mercola? or the dermatologists?

Fwd: Health e-Tips - UVA? UVB? Broad spectrum? Why it doesn't matter

                               



                           
                    2x spearmint for 5 days results in hair growth suppression



I am more interested in the fact that drinking spearmint tea twice a day for five days  before ovulation resulted in decrease of testosterone and increase in estradiol and thus caused decrease in growth of unwanted hair.

Thus less use for shaving and hair removal drugs, and methods. (including laser.)

Dear Reader,

It sure doesn't look like summer is on its way. All I see from my window is grey above and raised umbrellas below.

But there are plenty of other clues that the warmer months are ahead. One big one: The mainstream has started its yearly beating of the SPF drum.

The beat is a little out of rhythm, though. The industry has failed to meet an FDA labeling requirement to make levels of sunscreen protection more clear. Specifically, the FDA wanted changes clarifying which brands protect against UVB and which protect against UVA rays (the scary ones). Current SPF numbers are mostly related to UVB rays, because those are the ones that lead to sunburn.

Manufacturers are also supposed to stop claiming their products are waterproof or sweatproof--they have to say they're "resistant" now.

The requirement was introduced last year. Sunscreen makers were given until next month to get those new labels on the shelf.

Of course, they're having a "hard time" meeting the deadline (shocking, I know). So now they're being given until December. This leaves SPF-seeking consumers scratching their heads for another year.

Here's a little secret, though: None of this really matters. In fact, no matter what the labels say, you can walk right on by that sunscreen display without giving the bottles so much as a glance.

Yes, sun exposure can contribute to skin cancer. But there are major benefits of the sun that you can't get slathering yourself in a layer of potentially dangerous chemicals. You can actually reduce your skin cancer risk with limited sun exposure, an excellent diet, and specific supplements (plenty of folate and vitamin A). The summer is prime time to soak up the rays that will help your body make vitamin D.

Sunscreens are dangerous for many reasons. They encourage people to stay outside longer under the assumption they're protected. Which of course leads to more damage. UVA rays aren't always blocked. These cause deeper damage while the sunscreen works against UVB damage. So you keep the redness (an important warning of too much exposure) away while the UVA rays are wreaking havoc deeper in your body.

Plus, they're chock full of potentially toxic chemicals, including some compounds that, when coupled with sun exposure, actually do MORE damage to the skin and others that cause cancer to spread, as Dr. Wright outlines in the April 2012 issue of Nutrition & Healing. If you're a subscriber, I highly recommend you hold on to that article. It's an essential guide to the benefits of the sun and the reasons for avoiding sunscreens.

And of course, sunscreens keep you from the biggest benefit of the sun: vitamin D. Several studies have shown that strict use of sunscreen may induce vitamin D deficiency.

So, if we're taking sunscreen out of the picture, how do you get the benefits of the sun without the potential damage? The old-fashioned way! Shade and protective clothing.

Dr. Wright recommends getting enough sun exposure on your bare (sunscreen-free) face and arms to turn your skin just slightly pink. At that point, head back into the shade.

Enjoy your fun in the sun this summer. Just stay sensible and you can protect yourself from sun damage and get the true benefits of the sun.

Yours in good health,

Christine O'Brien

Sip the hair away

Q: I have excess facial hair. I find myself wanting to hide my face whenever I leave the house. I can't stand the pain of waxing, and those creams just smell horrible. What can I do?

Dr. Wright: Sip a cup of strong spearmint tea to decrease the excess testosterone production that can lead to excess body hair.

Researchers in Turkey asked 21 women with excess facial and body hair to drink one cup of strong spearmint tea twice daily for five days in the pre-ovulatory phases of their menstrual cycles. Total testosterone wasn't reduced, but there was a significant reduction in free testosterone and a significant increase in estradiol--this can put the brakes on the stimulation of unwanted hair growth.

Enjoy a cup on a regular basis, but don't overdo it--higher testosterone does, after all, stimulate a healthy libido.

Fwd: Do sunscreens prevent cancer or cause it?

Do sunscreen, sunblocks prevent the incidence of skin cancer?  Naaah. No.  Nyet

                               


As per this feed, the incidence of skin cancer is still on the rise.  The reason is on the sunblock itself.
According to Dr. Elizabeth Plourde in her recent book, the sunblocks contain EDC (endocrine disrupting chemicals) that occupy the space hormones occupy and be the precursors of cancer.  What are examples of these chemicals?

                                                             
                                 



>salicycilates
>camphors
>cinnamates
>benzophones
>octocrylene
>OMG/PABA

                         





Skin cancer kills.  To prevent yourself from getting one:


                        

                         


l.  Lessen your exposure;  avoid sunbathing from l0 am to 2 pm
2.  Wear clothing that ward off suns rays if you must be exposed;  thin clothing let the sun in;
3  Use antioxidants to protect your skin.  There are news of VCO being used effectively as sunblocks.

Are sunscreens a cancer shield
or a CANCER RISK?


    We're coming to the time of year when many folks in North America make a beeline for sandy beaches, park benches and sunny rooftops to soak up some sun rays.

    And you can be sure most of these sun seekers douse themselves with sunblock and tanning lotions in an effort to protect themselves from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

    Maybe you think the government is watching out for you and requires that all these products be tested for long-term health effects. Think again. Neither the manufacturers nor the government have looked into long-term effects at all. Now we're learning they should have. It appears that sunscreens may be more likely than sunshine to cause cancer. . .

Continued below. . .



You've been told to avoid it at all costs. But--

This "forbidden" food could be the biggest health breakthrough of our time

    Your whole life, you've been warned that this substance can wreak havoc on your health.


    But the bad rap could be for nothing. Because research proves this shunned food:
  • "washes away" stubborn bladder infections (often in less than 48 hours)
  • decreases tooth decay by 80%--without having to drop any of your favorite foods
  • reduces blood clots without the dangerous side effects of aspirin
  • cuts sinus and ear infections by 93%--One pioneering Texas doctor reports these results that are so dramatic his patients forget to keep using it!
    And you should see how it helps you drop weight!

    How can one food--especially one we're told to stay away from--do so much?

    More importantly--what is it? And how can you get your hands on it?


    You would expect the increased use of sunscreens should be accompanied by a marked decrease in cases of skin cancer over time. Do the statistics show this to be true?

    The Environmental Working Group (EWG), a non-profit consumer research organization, said despite increased use of sunscreen products—incidents of skin cancer in the United States continue to RISE!

    In a sobering 2011 study on the science behind sunscreens and skin cancer, the EWG determined that sunscreens:

  • May decrease the occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma...
  • Have no demonstrated influence on basal cell carcinoma...
  • May INCREASE risk of melanoma when used during intentional sun exposure, such as when staying outdoors for lengthy periods
    Yes, you heard right on that last point: sunscreens may cause melanoma skin cancer.

    How could sunscreens actually increase your risk for developing melanoma? EWG said many lotions produced over the past 30 years are effective at blocking UVB rays—while allowing higher UVA exposure. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin, thereby causing more DNA damage.

    And although many sunscreens now include UVA filters, EWG said many of the products available as late as 2011 still fell short in offering sufficient UVA protection.

    But one health researcher said lack of UVA safeguards isn't the only problem you'll run into with sunscreen use. These chemical cocktails may cause cancer in other ways, too. Keep reading. . .
Here's why 'fake' hormones in sunscreens
can harm your health...
    Did you know that some chemicals in sunscreens can take the place of your body's natural hormones?

    I'm not talking about something out of a science fiction movie. This is for real!

    Dr. Elizabeth Plourde, C.L.S., PhD, a clinical laboratory scientist and health researcher, identified some of these chemicals in her book Sunscreens—Biohazard: Treat as Hazardous Waste.

    According to Plourde, a class of chemicals called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are so similar in structure to natural hormones like androgen and estrogen—they actually can invade the space these hormones should occupy -- and take over!

    Not only do EDCs substitute for your natural hormones, they even PREVENT the natural ones from doing what they're supposed to do!

    Dr. Plourde said one group of researchers found that all 18 of the sunscreen chemicals they examined were EDCs. If you've got a bottle at home, check the back for names such as:
  • Benzophones
  • Camphors
  • Cinnamates (IMC)
  • Octocrylene
  • OMC PABAs
  • Salicylates
    If you see any or all of them listed—you should know that these substances have been shown repeatedly to have a toxic effect on the reproductive systems of lab animals!
So what effect do fake hormones have on humans?
    Dr. Plourde said researchers have concluded that early exposure to EDCs, combined with genetic propensity, contributes to adult testicular cancer... low testosterone levels... and male infertility...

    And women aren't off the hook either. When EDCs in sunscreen act as fake estrogens—they can lead to increased risk of breast cancer... thyroid problems that affect metabolism... and problems with fetal development during pregnancy...

    In addition to the EDCs, sunscreens may also contain vitamin A to help slow skin aging. But according to the EWG report, vitamin A and its derivatives retinol and retinyl palmitate actually may increase the development of cancer cells!

    The group said vitamin A used on skin exposed to sunlight can actually cause the formation of cancerous tumors.

    The irony is that EWG reached its conclusion by examining results of a study released by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Toxicology Program.

    These are the very agencies the government uses to evaluate substances that could pose a public health threat!

    Some folks insist that sunscreens are actually TOXIC to all living organisms and should be treated as hazardous waste. They might be right.
    I've never liked slathering on sunscreens and haven't used them for a number of years now. And I've always been horrified to see young parents coating their babies and toddlers with these chemicals from head to toe. Of course, we all know why they do. . .

    We've all had it drummed into our heads that overexposure to sunrays can damage your cell DNA and put you at major risk for developing skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), this affects one to two million Americans each year.

    The statistic is nonsense because nearly ALL these cases are basal cell carcinomas, a type of skin cancer that's about as life-threatening as a pimple. Dermatologists insist on removing these almost-harmless specs with "surgery" that can cost you several hundred dollars.

    Something like one or two thousand deaths a year can be attributed to basal cell carcinomas. That's a tiny number. Out of 310 million Americans, it's a very minor problem.

    Melanoma skin cancer is another matter entirely.

    Some recent scientific research has isolated UV radiation as a deadly culprit behind the development of melanoma. In a landmark 2009 study from The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the United Kingdom, scientists used new molecular technology to determine that thousands of gene mutations they identified in melanoma lesion cells were caused by UV radiation.

    Prior to this study the connection between sun exposure and melanoma was in dispute (by me, not least of all). One problem is that melanomas often appear in areas of the body that get little, if any, sun. How do you figure that?

    The new study tilts me a little bit toward believing sunburns may lead to melanoma. In any case, you only need moderate sun exposure and you should avoid burning or deep tanning. Tanning ages your skin and causes wrinkling. A light tan acquired by just a few minutes of sun exposure per day is the safest, healthiest option.

    The ACS, of course, is a firm believer that sunshine causes skin cancer including melanoma, and recommends that you always use a sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.
How serious is the problem?
    Although melanoma and other skin cancers don't lead the pack for causing cancer deaths—the fact is, people DO die from skin cancer. The American Cancer Society (ACS) reported that melanoma accounts for about 9,000 of the nearly 12,000 skin cancer deaths each year. The other deaths could be traced to other forms of skin cancer such as basal or squamous cell carcinomas.

    The fact is that very few people die of skin cancer. It's not a major health risk compared to breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer and many other types.

    Still melanoma is a nasty, life-threatening cancer if you do get it, a fact that leads many folks to slather on lotions and creams — mostly so they can spend long, long hours in the sun.

    So if you choose not to use chemical laden sunscreens-what CAN you do to protect your skin from sun damage?

    Dr. Plourde offers these suggestions:
  • Wear clothes that shield your skin—such as tightly woven fabrics; you may not know it, but thin, light fabrics may allow the sun's rays to pass through
  • Reduce time spent in the sun—seek shade and be sure to cover up between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. By 5 PM in the summer there's still plenty of sun and you can spend as much time in it as you want without burning
  • Adopt antioxidants—foods with healthy antioxidants will protect your skin naturally. I've also heard that a solution of powdered vitamin C in water, applied to the skin, prevents a burn. I don't have confirmation of this.
    So. . .you may need to change habits you've developed over many years. But if ditching your bottles of sunscreen determines whether or not you become a cancer statistic—it might be a move worth considering!

Kindest regards,

Lee Euler Publisher
