The Myth On Sun Causing Skin Cancer

"The sunscreen industry doesn't want you to know that your body actually needs sunlight exposure because that realization would mean lower sales of sunscreen products."


Our body has the ability to self-regulate every natural and organic thing that goes into it. The same goes for too much sunlight exposure. I live in a country very near to the Equator and there are plenty of sunlight throughout the year. In my younger days, I had a lot of activities (being involved in the Scout Movement) in the outdoor exposing to the hot sunlight. If the claim on sunlight is harmful and true, I would have been suffering skin cancer, no?


The truth is you only get a bit of tan. That's all. And I didn't suffer any illness throughout those days. Never took a day off from school for many years (and even now - from work).


I just came across Dr. Michael Holick's revelation on why the deficiency of Vitamin D is the cause of numerous illnesses. Just thought I'll share this important knowledge with you.


Contrary to what is being fed to us through most mass media, we need sunlight exposure. And sunlight exposure is the only reliable way to generate vitamin D in your own body. It is nearly impossible for us to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from your diet.


From another source, Bragg, I found that the best time to expose yourself to sunlight is the early morning sun, and the late evening sun.


Being indoor sitting by the window thinking you are getting sunlight does not provide the same effect. The healing rays of natural sunlight (that generate vitamin D in your skin) cannot penetrate glass. So you don’t generate vitamin D when sitting in your car or home.

Myth: Equal is better sugar for diabetics

Most of us, when we think of sugar, we tend to think of the white stuff we put in our coffee. When people are struggling with serious health conditions and excess weight, they reduce the sugar in their diets. They think they are doing the right thing by not adding sugar to their drinks, or by using artificial sweeteners, like Equal or Nutrasweet. Little do they know that they are actually doing more harm to their body than good.

You may reduce sugar by not adding sugar to your food, but do you realize that sugar comes in many different hidden forms? Food manufacturers are so good at disguising sugar in processed foods that you would not even realize that you're actually consuming spoonfuls of sugar without knowing!

Even when the label says "sugar free" or "0 calorie" and "no sugar added", don't be deceived! These are very misleading. "Sugar free" could mean that the product is sweetened with artificial sweeteners which are more harmful than sugar. "No sugar added" products may contain naturally occuring sugars, such as fructose. The packaging may appear/sound healthier than white sugar, but they are all just fancy names for refined sugars.

Learn to read the labels. Sugar in processed foods come in many different forms. These are empty calories and are just as bad:

Brown sugar, blond sugar, raw sugar, natural sugar, syrup, caramel, ethyl maltol, fructose/glucose, dextran/dextrose, lactose, maltodextrin/maltose, molasses, sorbitol, xylitol.


Aspartame

Let's look at the ingredient in this artificial sweetener: Aspartame. Aspartame is commonly found in most processed foods that say "sugar free". Read the labels!!! Check your breath mints, cereals, chewing gum, cocoa mixes, coffee beverages, gelatin desserts, laxatives, low quality multi-vitamins, milk drinks, soft drinks, tabletop sweeteners, instant tea and coffee, topping mixes, yogurt and even children's vitamins!!

Aspartame is the most dangerous substance added to our food on the shelves today. The three chemicals that make up aspartame (aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol) can lead to a wide variety of ailments. Some may occur so gradually that you don't realize it. Other symptoms are immediate, acute reactions. Many people are suffering from symptoms that are related to aspartame use, yet have no idea that it's causing immense health problems to their body.

This is just a short list of some of the documented symptoms listed as being caused by aspartame poisoning:

Headache/migraine, dizziness, seizure, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, joints pain.

More serious health problems that result from long-term ingestion of aspartame:

Brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, mental retardation, lymphoma, birth defects, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia.

This is good enough reason why you should avoid processed foods and artificial sweeteners !! They're as bad as poison to your body! SD.

Arrogance and ignorance can kill

I did a juicer demo to an elderly couple today. The husband has colon cancer and just had part of his colon removed and had to go on a liquid diet. Thus they are considering juicing.

When I arrived at their home, they received me with a lot of skepticism. The wife was arrogant in some way, yet they asked me a lot of questions about juicing, about nutrition, about cancer, and about healing. I deal with cancer patients a lot and understand their concerns. I shared with the elderly couple as gently as I could.

As I talked to them, it was so obvious why the husband had colon cancer. They cannot hide their faulty eating habits from me. The wife had a huge tummy, like 8 months pregnant. I just felt that if she would not take care of her health, she just might be the next candidate for colon cancer, sorry to say.

The husband looked weak and the wife was clearly concerned. She said that he was "always healthy and SUDDENLY was diagnosed with cancer". She also said that his health had deteriorated since the surgery. I didn't have the heart to tell her that cancer doesn't happen SUDDENLY, and that surgeries are always the beginning of a slow, painful death especially at an elderly age.

Since they asked me what sort of diet he should go on, I begin to explain to them what he should firstly AVOID. I told them that I don't believe in chemotherapy which would further KILL his immune system when it is at this very moment that he needs to BUILD UP his immune system. I made it clear to them that drugs is NOT the way to go. By going through with chemotherapy, I can see that his health would just go downhill. As it is, he's already so weak.

Unfortunately, I think I touched a raw nerve because they later mentioned that their son is a doctor. Hah!! The son will be the death of the father! Too bad ... nothing I can say at this point.

I kept emphasizing to the elderly couple to avoid fruit juices as cancerous cells thrive on sugar and can grow rapidly in that kind of environment. Again, unfortunately, their arrogance insists that they know better and that their oncologist said he could "eat anything in moderation". I see no point in arguing with people like these. Anyway, it is their life, their health, their body. They are responsible for their own actions. I've said what I needed to say. I wonder why they even bother to ask me anything.

Though I did make my sale, my heart is not comforted knowing the "fate" of this man. I said a little prayer for them and left. God bless the couple. SD.
