Skin cancer

Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers and yet is the most preventable of all cancers. It can hit anyone and builds upon childhood. More than half of all the sun exposure someone has in their lifetime is typically done before 20 years of age.

Therefore, it is so significant to learn the signs of skin cancer early and start good sun protection habits early in life. Sunscreen of 15 spf or higher should be used at all times, generous reapplications of the sunscreen is important, wearing a hat and sunglasses can help, but avoiding the sun from 10 am to 4 pm is best.

Skin cancer can grow slow-paced or quickly, so premature detection is key. A family history can indicate if someone is more prone to the most serious form of skin cancer called Melanoma. This form can be life threatening if not treated early. Non-melanoma skin cancer is less dangerous but still can be avoided. Someone can also get skin cancer if they are exposed to coal tar, pitch, creosote, or arsenic compounds and radium. Existing moles should be closely watched for changes in size and color. New growths that are darkly pigmented, have a bump or nodule, have oozing, bleeding or scaling should be looked at immediately by a doctor.

Overexposure to the sun is the most important risk factor for skin cancer. Here are ten ways to protect yourself.

1. If you can stay indoors during peak sun hours, you should. Try to schedule outdoor activities for the early morning or late afternoon, and try to stay in the shade as much as possible if you must be out in the sun in the middle of the day.

2. If you must go out into the midday sun, wear sun protective clothes. This means a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and a broad-brimmed hat that protects your head and ears and shades your face. Some clothing blocks the sun’s rays while others do not. Dark-colored, heavyweight, tightly woven fabrics provide better protection from the sun than light-colored, lightweight, loosely woven fabrics do. If you must spend a lot of time out in the sun, you may want to buy special sun-protective clothing with a high UPF rating. The UPF rating (the letters stand for Ultraviolet Protection Factor) indicates how much ultraviolet light can penetrate the clothing. For example, if a piece of clothing has a UPF rating of 20, that means that only one-twentieth of the sun’s ultraviolet rays can get through it. Commercial sun-protective clothing with UPF ratings of 50 or higher is available.

3. Protect all of the exposed skin on your body with sunscreen, even on overcast days. Make sure to use enough sunscreen. Most people use too little. It takes about one ounce of sunscreen to cover the exposed parts of an adult’s body adequately. (Don’t forget your ears.) It’s especially important to make sure to use enough sunscreen on all the exposed parts of your body if you’re going to be near sand, snow, or water, all of which reflect the sun, thus increasing your chances of getting burned.

4. Research types of sunscreens online before making a purchase. You’re probably familiar with the SPF (sun protection factor) rating on sunscreens, which is a measure of how well the sunscreen protects against ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, the kind that cause sunburn. Choose a sunscreen with an SPF rating of at least 15. Also, look on the label of the sunscreen to make sure that it is a “broad-spectrum” product that protects against ultraviolet A (UVA) rays, as well as UVB. UVA rays don’t cause sunburn, but they do increase your risk of skin cancer. Finally, make sure that the sunscreen you choose is water-resistant. The American Academy of Dermatology recently made choosing a good sunscreen easier. The Academy allows its AAD Seal of Recognition to be placed only on sunscreens that are water-resistant and broad-spectrum and that have an SPF of 15 or more. You can look for this seal on the product label or on advertising or store displays.

5. Follow directions on your sunscreen (e.g., when to apply, etc.

6. Reapply sunscreen often, at least once every two hours. If your skin has gotten wet from swimming or sweating, reapply sunscreen even more often because even water-resistant sunscreens can wash off. And if you’ve dried yourself with a towel, put on more sunscreen because you may have rubbed off the previous layer.

7. Even if you are scrupulous about using sunscreen, don’t expect that you can stay out in the sun all day without damaging your skin. No sunscreen provides complete protection.

8. Those who drive a lot should consider wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen while driving or having ultraviolet-protective films installed on the car windows. In most cars, only the windshield is made of the kind of glass that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. The other windows block UVB rays only.

9. Take a pass on skin tans. Tanning increases your risk of skin cancer. You don’t want skin cancer, whether it’s squamous cell carcinoma or another form.

10. Get your vitamin D from means other than ’sun exposure’. You can get all the vitamin D you need from foods, especially vitamin D-fortified milk, or from vitamin supplements.

There’s lots of information about skin cancer online. Learn about driving and skin cancer and related topics, and determine whether you, a friend or relative might be at risk. Don’t be ignorant about skin cancer and its causes.

It’s a known fact, everyone wants to live a longer and happier life. And really, all that is required to achieve this is to have a healthy mind and a healthy body. A healthy body is one which is full of energy, good immunity and a great detoxification system. I’m sure you agree, you need to have all the three for the best results. However something that you may not know is one nutrient specifically plays an important role in providing all three of these, and it is known as ‘Glutathione’. Your body itself synthesizes this vital nutrient and all you have to do is to support your body ability to produce glutathione in adequate amounts.

Glutathione – the anti-oxidant and free radicals
Our body undergoes wear and tear continuously. It is exposed to so many harmful things. It is exposed to stress, pollution, radiation, infection, drugs, poor diet, aging, injury, trauma etc. All these pile up a dangerous group of chemicals called free radicals. These get accumulated in the cells. These free radicals meddle with the normal functioning of the cells.

Free radicals need to be removed if your bodies cells are to function normally. This is where anti-oxidants play a major role. They neutralize these free radicals and prevent them from causing further damage to the cells. Glutathione is the super anti-oxidant that is present inside the cell itself. It is present in all cells and efficiently nullifies the effects of free radicals. The incredible thing is that Glutathione is produced naturally in our body. However as we age we produce less and less, eventually allowing free radicals to run freely in our body. Creating disease and other problems we call, “the signs of aging”

Glutathione and immunity
A weak immune system is helpless in preventing various infections. If your immune system is low, for example if you have an HIV infection, even bacteria that are very mild without causing any disease can enter your body producing various symptoms. The vital molecule glutathione is present in all cells including the cells of the immune system. They readily ward off any kind of infection. You have to keep the optimum level of glutathione inside the cells. All you really have to do is keep a diet rich in glutathione and help your body to create more of it.

My wife and I were just looking for a safe, doctor endorsed way to help
our childs’ “un-resolvable” health challenge, but we’ve learned
some amazing tidbits along the way. I hope you will
feel like you’ve learned something valuable via this article about
unknown, yet critically profound, nutrient deficiencies all around us.

Did you know that scientific studies show that in 1951, an
adult lady could consume just 2 peaches and receive the
current RDA of vitamin A, yet today, that women would have
to consume over 50 peaches to receive the same amount of
vitamin A? (USDA Study results noted in Pediatrics Journal,
1998, 133(5): 593-600.)

These kinds of nutrient deficiencies in both vitamin and
mineral content have been noted in multiple studies and, because
of this the USDA has now changed their 5-7 servings of FRESH
fruits and vegetables to 10-12 servings daily and both they and
the AMA (JAMA, Jun 2002) have added the recommendation to
include a quality supplement in your diet. They recognize we are
not getting all of what our bodies need from modern grown food.

There are lots of reasons for these nutrient deficiencies, some
of them being:

Green picking, failure to let the soil rest, chemical
fertilizer dependence including just the minerals NPK (which
is all that’s needed to grow good looking crops, yet our
bodies need 50+ minerals to function optimally) and the
widespread usage of toxic chemicals.

Quoting U.S. Senate document #264: “The alarming fact is
that foods (fruits, vegetables, and grains) now being raised
on millions of acres of land that no longer contain enough
of certain minerals and are starving us. No matter how much
of them we eat, no man today can eat enough fruits and
vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he
requires for perfect health because his stomach isn’t big
enough to hold them. The truth is that our foods vary
enormously in value, and some of them aren’t worth eating as
food.”

So, you have numerous studies over many years proving critical missing nutrients, minerals, plant sterols, antioxidants and monosaccarides that are suppossed to cover everyone of your cells. Verifying science and web links to multiple studies are included within our Free Wellness Newsletters, noted below. These losses, along with additional modern oxidative stress (such as 75,000 synthetic chemicals introduced since 1935, some found in the snow in both the north and south pole and in Penguin tissue) cause untold problems for our cells. Actually, modern science estimates that your cells take 10,000 “hits” per day. These chemicals and pesticides, along with studies of antibiotics in the water supply of 100 cities tested, cause breakdowns at the cellular level.

Or, prepare to face the very bleak health statistics. I’ll be glad to share these sad facts with anyone, but you probably need to look no further than within your own extended family. 1,000 die daily due to (accidents) clearical errors, new infections, etc. within hospitals and outpatient care.
