I have had over two dozen skin cancers (basal cell and squamus only) cut off by doctors and more frozen off for over 30 years. I used to wear sunscreen every day. I put it on when getting out of the shower. I wore a hat whenever I went outside. I joked with my dermatologist that my name should be on his exam room. I saw him every 4 months and always had something to cut off.

Then I got the idea the sun was good. I quit wearing any sun screen whatsoever, no hat or sun glasses. I took daily walks in the sun for about 45 minutes. I haven’t had anything to remove for almost 3 years. I know the scaly, near-scab of pre-cancerous tissue. It’s not happening any more. My experience is entirely in line with this finding.

Shocked!

I am shocked, i tell you!

To learn that there is gambling going on inside the casino!

Also, tell me again how an industry that makes beaucoup bucks off you you being sick is going to give you a free shot that will make you super healthy?

The discipline of Dermatology, the battle against the sun and the creation of the sunscreen industry all emerged simultaneously in the early 1960s when the College of Dermatology hired two NYC advertising and PR firms to help the medical discipline gain greater respect among the American public and allow for hight fees. The entire thing has been a charade for the last 65 years. Go read the history of the event: https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dermatologys-disastrous-war-against

This story is merely another piece of evidence proving that US "medical industry" has grown into an insidious, deceitful and nefarious hoax perpetrated on the people of America. They can stitch an open wound and they can set a broken bone, but beyond that they are largely a criminal enterprise.

Never used sunscreen.

If you wear glasses, and prolonged exposure, try a little zinc oxide on your nose.

Is not new news.

Hiding the fact that the chemicals in sunscreens have never been tested for carcinogenic properties

RSgva's avatar

I seem to recall they had been tested about 15 years ago or more, but immediate collective amnesia set in, “nothing to see here”…

I think they abandoned one chemical! Keep the rest!

Coconut oil is SPF4 and it’s incredibly healthy for you and your skin.

I wrote about the risk of sunscreens back in 2007. Please see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0891584907004911?via%3Dihub

Aluminium is a powerful pro-oxidant and a major ingredient and sometimes contaminant of most sunscreens.

I wish the study had statistically accounted for location. Probably the least cancer suffered from sun exposure is in people who live in hot climates and don't use sunscreen. And people who live in cold climates who rarely see the sun, what's their rate of cancer, particularly skin cancer.

I’m going to say something that admittedly sounds bogus...over two years ago I eliminated 100% of processed foods and seed oils from my diet...since then I have not had one sunburn in spite of not using sunscreen.

AND the age spots on my arms disappeared.

I’m fair skinned, blue eyed and blond. The problem isn’t the sun.

Wow! that is amazing good for you!!

So once again the “conspiracy theorists” are right. I’ve been telling people for 20+ years not to use sunscreen because it was bad for you.

I’m half Italian and according to a dermatologist I visited for an exam, Italians don’t get skin cancer. I was told to put my shirt back on and I left. I guess it’s from centuries of acclimation.

I was a kid in the 60s and spent every summer day playing out in the sun. Never put sunscreen on then or later as an adult.

Skin cancer incidences went up when they started using fluorescent lights even in places like Norway.

Why doesn't this suprise me anymore

Perhaps sunscreen just ain't what it used to be...It being the UK, I find a statistical base of 470,000 plus a bit suspicious...
