Is the sun really to blame for skin cancer?

Q: I’m just wondering…now that the media and doctors have the whole of society afraid to even get 3 minutes of sun exposure because it could cause skin cancer, how can we be certain it’s directly related to the sun?I do realize that the radiation can alter the skins cells which leads to cancer, but what about the borage of chemicals we put on our skin DAILY, that have also been shown to cause cancer? Lotion, soap, detergents, fake tan lotion, sun screen, perfumes, pollution, things we ingest, etc…all of these contain harmful ingredients known to cause cancer. (parabens, tocopherol (synthetic vitamin E), preservatives….)So, why is everyone jumping all over pointing the finger at the sun? If I’m not mistaken, don’t we need a bit of sunlight to absorb vitamin D?SOme of you seem to be confused..maybe I didn’t word my question correctly. Of course I know the sun causes skin cancer…but my question, is that it seems every case is automatically linked to the sun. No one seems to care about the chemicals we rub on our skin every day, which also lead to skin cancer and other cancers. And, with the increased numbers in skin cancer…are you telling me that people long ago wore sunscreen and therefore had fewer cases? Or maybe doctors didn’t have the same info we have today to diagnose skin cancer, and therefore how do we really know if skin cancer rates have gone up? Don’t forget that screening has gone up, which leads to more diagnoses. AND, why aren’t the countries/cities that get the most sun have the highest skin cancer rates?

A: Now THERE’s an interesting question – I can certainly see why you’d wonder!I mean, have skin cancer rates gone up or down since everybody started to fear the sun?I’ve actually heard doctors here in the US blame ‘holes in the ozone layer’ for increased skin cancer – except the holes in the ozone layer are A) over the poles, where we do not live, and B) we don’t even know if they are normal or not! They’ve been there ever since we had the technology and desire to detect the integrity of the ozone layer!Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins for health – we don’t use sunlight to absorb it, sunlight actually creates it within our skin. Vitamin D is not actually a vitamin, it’s a hormone, and it is a catalyst for nearly every body process – including the immune system and supporting your body’s ability to say, fight off cancer.In reality, our bodies have cancer cells all the time. Whether we actually get cancer or not has more to do with our immune system’s ability to destroy the errant cells than anything else. So, yes, our National Fear of the sun, and slathering on sunscreen, which impedes our bodies’ ability to produce and use vitamin D, puts us at higher risk for cancer of all kinds.Isn’t it interesting how we have all these theories, and cling to them, in the face of all information to the contrary? Like the cholesterol theory of heart disease, or the germ theory of illness? Why do we love our theories more than we love the truth?Two years ago I got sick with mono, but for months it wouldn’t go away – I was weak, fatigued, slept all the time. I went to three doctors before somebody decided to test my vitamin D, which was about half the minimum necessary for good health. Now I take cod liver oil every day. I’ve been doing it for a year, and it’s still pretty tough – I have good days and bad days. I am taking roughly six times the normal dose of cod liver oil, and still barely able to keep my warehouse in working order (vitamin D is stored in fat tissues). It was a great excuse to take up nude sunbathing – but that’s not a good idea in the winter. It’s been a fascinating journey – for many months before I started taking the CLO, I was falling on a pretty regular basis. Now, I was only 38 at the time, so it’s not like I’m an old lady! But this was causing some problems for me – interestingly enough, I haven’t fallen all winter (knock wood), and I live in a place where it snows six months of the year, and there has been ice and snow on the ground for many months already.Anyhow, I’m with you – I think we could trace our increase in cancer back to poor diets and the falling levels of nutrition in food, processed and fake foods, an increase in the consumption of fake fats, and a decrease in the consumption of real fats, and the toxins we all consume or are exposed to on a daily basis – from toothpaste to “anti-bacterial” soaps and gels to medications to cleaning chemicals to what passes for “food” these days to (especially!!!) fake sugar.Well, gotta go – I need to make my son a birthday cake – with real sugar, real butter, and real eggs.

Too many antioxidants and cancer?

Q: I heard that too many antioxidants (vitamins c and e were mentioned) can cause cancer in women. Anyone else hear/know anything about this? I was taking supplements of both but now I’m a little scared about doing so.

A: I have never heard that. Antioxidants work by absorbing free radicals, so the free radicals damage the antioxidant instead of your DNA. Since DNA damage can lead to cancer, this is how antioxidants help prevent cancer.Too much of any vitamin can cause side effects, but not cancer. Vitamin C is water soluble, so if you consume too much then the excess will flush out of your body in urine. Vitamin E is fat soluble, so excess will be stored in your body fat, but it is the least toxic of any fat soluble vitamin. Too much vitamin E can cause flu like symptoms, and can make it harder for your blood to clot.
