    Very interesting. So the sun's UV rays change our skin, and the changes show up in UV photography. Does that mean our skin is reflecting the sun's message?

    The darker area's are not all damages. Freckles and such are area's with more pigment. The pigment acts like a filter, it absorbs more UV radiation so that the radiation doesn't affect the skin as much. The white area's are really prone to skin damage.

    As a person who develped skin cancer at the age of 16 from overexposure to the sun, I can assure you that the necessity of wearing sunblock is not about money.

    Which kind of product is another matter. But sunblock in principle? A no brainer IMHO.

    Hi Maia Gabrial,

    I watch the video yesterday and the first thing that came to mind was sun screen propaganda. I created a thread, but will add it here too. The video now has 9,948,952 hits as of 8/19/14. It doesn't point out that it's life style, stressors, foods and drink creates skin flaws and premature aging. At the bottom are references and examples.

    Here’s a video called, “Let the Sun Shine In!” by Stephanie Seneff, BS, PhD.

    Outline:
    • People who live in sunny places are healthier
    • The importance of cholesterol and sulfate to health
    • Impaired cholesterol transport
    • Autism
    • Are sunscreens doing more bad than good? @ 21:47
    • What to do if you live in a rainy place.

    Dr. Seneff’s hypothesis:

    Our bodies need sun exposure to produce cholesterol sulfate, which provides cholesterol, sulfate, negative charge and energy to all the tissues of the body.


    “Reading the Body: Ohashi’s Book of Oriental Diagnosis,” by Ohashi with Tom Monte.

    pg. 161, “ Generally, brown color relates to the kidneys. When the kidneys do not function optimally, the color of the blood will darken. This darkness will be passed on to the skin, especially to the area below the eyes and to the upper part of the cheeks. Brow around the bridge of the nose indicates a problem with the middle organs, especially the stomach, spleen, and pancreas, and excess consumption of yin foods.

    Examples of yin foods from ““Basic Macrobiotics,” by: Herman Aihara:
    honey, coffee, herb tea, spices, fruits, seeds, most vegetables, some beans, chemical drugs, pills, sugar, candy, soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, some beans, nuts

    pg. 161 Beauty Marks

    “Often you see dark moles or beauty marks on the face or other parts of the body. These marks are sometimes present at birth, but often appear later in life as well. I consider that such beauty marks are actually toxins discharged from the body. They sometimes appear along meridians. These marks are caused by the burning of excess carbohydrates, fats, and proteins…

    Don't want to get off topic but if people are worried about sunblock; read this article

    Natural Homemade Sunscreen

    Ingredients:
    • 1 oz. coconut oil (find high quality coconut oil here)
    • 0.8 oz. shea butter (find it here)
    • 0.1 oz. jojoba, sesame, or sunflower oil (find oils here)
    • 0.1 oz. Vitamin E oil (find it here)
    • 30 drops essential oils, optional – I use 15 lavender, 10 eucalyptus, 5 peppermint (find 100% pure essential oils here)
    • zinc oxide powder (determine amount for 2 oz. of lotion) (We purchased ours here)
    • Directions:
    Add coconut oil, shea butter, and jojoba/sesame/sunflower oil to a makeshift double boiler. (To make your own double boiler, place a Pyrex measuring cup containing ingredients inside a small pot filled with a few inches of water). Heat gently until shea butter is just melted. Remove from double boiler and allow to cool a little. Put on a mask that covers your nose and mouth (to avoid breathing in the fine particles of zinc oxide powder), and measure out your zinc oxide. Add zinc oxide, Vitamin E oil, and optional essential oils to the other ingredients. Stir well to combine. Store in a dark jar in the refrigerator.

    To Use:

    Apply liberally to exposed skin. Reapply every few hours, or more often if swimming or sweating.

    Notes for homemade sunscreen success:

    This homemade sunscreen has about a 6 month shelf life, and should be refrigerated when not being used. The oils it contains are photosensitive, so do not leave your homemade sunscreen sitting out in direct sunlight. Keeping it in a cooler will prevent it from melting in high temperatures when taking it to the pool or beach.

    If you prefer to add zinc oxide to another homemade lotion you like, simply weigh a desired amount of lotion and add enough zinc oxide to achieve the preferred SPF, mixing thoroughly.

    I believe that sunblock is causing cancer not helping......the rate of skin cancer has dramatically INCREASED since we all started slathering ourselves with sun block....getting a sunburn is our bodies natural way of telling us to seek shade, sun block is actually not helping the situation, and bathing ourselves in chemicals is not the answer either....if there is a change in the sun why are our plants and trees doing fine in the sun still......there is some interesting info here about the sun and sun screen

    I believe the sun is magical and its rays have information for us which is why TPTB are so intent on us keeping OUT of the sun

    Thanks, EarthAngel. I'll add the video here.

    In the video at 05:20 the presenter sums it up with these words: "It's simply: wholesome meals and sunlight. I mean, does it get any easier than that?"

    In my own experience over the last few years this is 100% true. The only remaining debate is what constitutes a wholesome meal!

    Thanks so much RunningDeer for this contribution. Great to discover serious support for the truth that exposure to direct sunshine on our bare skin is an essential part of enjoying and maintaining a healthy state.

    I whole heartedly disagree. Moving out of the sun when you feel you're beginning to get too much makes more sense than rubbing chemicals into your skin and staying out in the sun longer than you normally would. That's madness.
