Natural sunlight destroys breast cancer tumors through
creation of Vitamin D

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com

Researchers at St. George's Hospital in London have found that breast tissues produce their own cancer-fighting compound (calcitriol) that destroys breast cancer tumors. In order to make calcitriol, however, tissues in the breast need Vitamin D, and the best way to get Vitamin D is to expose your skin to natural sunlight. In other words, the research is finding that the human body can cure cancer all by itself, but only if it has the raw materials available.

For decades, the population of industrialized countries has been brainwashed into thinking the sun is evil. They've been told to cover up their skin and to avoid being exposed to natural sunlight. They've coated themselves with sunscreens (which contain toxic chemicals, by the way), and taken extreme measures to avoid sunlight. This advice, however, has turned out to be completely wrong. Natural sunlight is absolutely essential for good health, and without it, you are far more susceptible to cancer, depression, obesity, osteoporosis and many other diseases. Sunlight is a natural cure that helps the body maintain a high state of health.

But what about sunburns, you ask? I speak from experience on this issue: people are only susceptible to sunburns when they have nutritional deficiencies caused by consuming soft drinks, processed foods, white flour, refined sugars, and other similar substances. A person on the standard American diet receives a sunburn very easily. But if that same person follows a sound diet for several months, avoids all processed foods and supplements their diet with nutritional supplements and superfoods, they will not burn their skin in the sunlight.

On the Vitamin D issue, deficiencies in this vitamin are widespread. As a result, perhaps tens of millions of men each year are killed by a completely avoidable disease: prostate cancer. With sufficient Vitamin D from cod liver oil or natural sunlight, very few men ever experience prostate cancer. With women, it's breast cancer and osteoporosis: both diseases are entirely preventable, and sunlight is one of the keys to this prevention.

It's sad that many doctors are still telling their patients to avoid the sun. It is precisely the sun that holds the cure to many diseases now considered epidemic in the Western world. We need more sunshine, not less, and while there is certainly such a thing as too much sunshine in one setting, the fact is that almost nobody living in modern cities gets even the minimum daily requirement of sunshine.

By the way, this is even more true for people who have darker skin. Those of African descent are especially prone to Vitamin D deficiencies since their skin naturally blocks a significant portion of sunlight radiation. That's why black men have a much higher rate of prostate cancer than white men. Furthermore, black men who live in Northern climates (like London or Canada, for example) have it even worse: it's virtually impossible for them to get enough Vitamin D since there's not much sun to be found where they live. (Keep in mind: dark skin was an adaptation for people living near the equator, where sunshine is far more powerful.)

Back to the research: it's fascinating that modern medicine is now finding that the body cures its own cancer if given the raw ingredients it needs. Breast tissues have their own miniature chemotherapy factories, you might say, and if a tumor appears, they fight it off before it can ever be diagnosed by a mammogram. Truly, the human body is a miracle of nature, and your body knows how to cure cancer on its own. If you want to be free of breast cancer, simply feed your body the nutrition it needs to invoke its own innate healing abilities.

 


The Tan Tax Would Miss the Mark by 40-50%

Because “The Tan Tax” proposal in the U.S. Senate health care bill is based on total misinformation, Smart Tan issued the following statement last week to the American news media, which appeared in 70 publications nationwide and is referenced in more than 5,500 internet posts.

2010-01-04 Tan Tax would miss mark copy

Regardless of your stance on health care reform, a tax on indoor tanning services will hurt more people than it helps, unfairly targets women and women-owned businesses, was proposed with no due-diligence whatsoever and makes no sense at all in this bill. Specifically:

  • This tax unfairly targets lower- and middle-class female consumers with a 10 percent tax, as compared to the “Bo-tax” which would be a 5 percent tax on wealthy consumers.
  • This tax unfairly targets female business owners. An estimated 67 percent of tanning facilities are owned and operated by women.
  • The math does not add up — the proposal overestimates tanning revenues by 40-50 percent. It was poorly studied and will not raise the revenues the government says it needed.
  • This will cost every community in America jobs and tax revenue. In a weak economy, this large, double-digit tax will hurt thousands of small, largely female-owned businesses, forcing many to close and/or lay off employees.
  • Dermatology lobbyists insisted that cosmetic phototherapy procedures in their offices — which use the same equipment as tanning businesses – be exempted from the tax. By targeting indoor tanning salons, they are attempting to drive 1.5 million phototherapy clients back into their businesses.

This was a back-room deal. This tax was added into the bill without studying its affect at all when those who sell Botox injections, phototherapy procedures and cosmetic surgery lobbied lawmakers to remove a much-better studied 5 percent tax on cosmetic surgery procedures from the bill — a tax that would have had less of an impact on society and would have raised more revenue to pay for this bill.

If you have not done so already, take a moment of your time and send the attached letter (or your own version) to your United States congressional representatives today to urge them to remove the Tan Tax proposal from the final draft of health care reform legislation:

Oprah knows…do you?

 

February is Vitamin D defficiency month.
In "O" magazine,  Dr.Oz has listed "Every woman's Optimal Health Goals".One of them is ensuring that you get enough Vitamin D- "When you are deficient in vitamin D, you may be at increased risk for heart disease, cancer, multiple sclerosis, immune disorders, not to mention osteoporosis. To make sure you are getting enough, take a blood test for Vitamin D: Your level should be greater than 30.

To boost Vitamin D: If you can, get 15 minutes of sun exposure daily and take a supplement containing at least 1,000 IU of D3.
