Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Sunscreens Sunscreens block out only UVA and UVB, which we all need in trace amounts, but not the potentially dangerous, germicidal UVC. No commercial sunscreens have been proved safe. Their chemicals penetrate the skin into the circulation and add to the burden of toxins to be detoxified. Commercial sunscreens increase the risk of melanoma by causing mutations when the cells' chromosomes interact with the chemicals and the light. Natural sunscreens, as well as commercial ones, curtail needed uptake of vitamin D3 from UVB, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Mounting evidence indicates that many sunscreens contain carcinogens and that the rise of skin cancers parallels the increase in sunscreen usage. The only sunscreen that is recommended is coconut oil, although, you should not bake in the sun all day. Adding a little iodine to the coconut oil for the first week of summer gives added protection; however, do not use the iodine for more than a week, as continued use can inhibit your thyroid function. Another non-carcinogenic sunscreen would be one containing titanium dioxide http://www.tuberose.com/Cancer.html I am questioning the comment on using it for too long as it will inhibit thyroid function????
