Comments on: Benefits of Sunbathing and Risks of Sunscreen http://openmindrequired.com/blog/2008/05/benefits-of-sunbathing-and-risks-of-sunscreen/ For book lovers, seekers, health enthusiasts and thinkers Thu, 02 Feb 2012 04:45:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: yhan http://openmindrequired.com/blog/2008/05/benefits-of-sunbathing-and-risks-of-sunscreen/comment-page-1/#comment-3063 yhan Fri, 15 Apr 2011 01:06:11 +0000 http://openmindrequired.com/blog/?p=15#comment-3063 From what I read, UVB causes the longer lasting tan by increasing melanin production while UVA oxidizes and darkens existing melanin, giving a short lived tan. UVB is significant when the UV index is at least 3 when you are taller than your shadow. UVA is strong regardless of the sun's angle and clouds and glass do not block them effectively. Not sure if darkened melanin would increase UVA absorption. The best time to get your vitamin D is during midday. You will want to avoid washing the skin for 48 hours because the sebum contains vitamin D. I wonder if getting a UVB tan would reduce your UVA exposure which is especially helpful for indoor workers and drivers. Through my experience in Vancouver, my skin hardly tans until April sunny afternoons even though I had plenty of direct sunlight during PE. The physical sunscreen I use is from Badger which do not use chemicals and is non-nano. My goal is to minimize UVA exposure but still produce vitamin D with my arms and legs. Mexitan is also a good brand. http://www.badgerbalm.com/p-462-spf-30-unscented-natural-sunscreen.aspx From what I read, UVB causes the longer lasting tan by increasing melanin production while UVA oxidizes and darkens existing melanin, giving a short lived tan.

So, to create sickness and diseases they put poisons in their medicaments, calling them 'side effects', they make people believe that the sun causes skin cancer, they almost force people to avoid the sun completely or using sunscreens. Off course, this is the source of hundreds of different diseases and premature deaths. Without the exposure to the health giving rays of the sun the human kind will be dying out and eventually, will cease to exist on this planet. The system should be changed, so that health care and medicins should be government controlled and non- profit making, no cure no pay system. Only then there would be incentive for medical profession to keep people healthy. Only then doctors would regain their authority and trust of peaple.
