pinnacle-press.com/.../index.html is a good listen to regarding the truth about Omega 3 fish oil. Listen to what the journals have said for years and ask why all the doctors are still pushing it..........ASK!

Look up Otto Warburg, PHD, MD. and read about his 1924 findings regarding Oxygen Starvation to the cell. You will find it quite interesting. Then, since our omega 6 has become so adulterated in processing (broken) that is why we can't get the proper oxygenation to our cells. It takes omega 6 to allow the passing of oxygen thru the cell membrane. Need it.

Gee, and I thought that the greatest risk factor to any cancer was lack of oxygen to the cell. If the cell is more than 65% oxygenated, it can NOT get cancer.

I have noticed that since I have stopped using skin products that have Sodium Laurel Sulphate and Propylene Glycol to name but two of the deadly chemicals that are in our skin products, that I no longer get sunburn. I live in New Zealand where we live an active outdoor life in the summer months enjoying the sun. I do take precautions during the burn time, i.e. midday when the sun is at its hottest, by wearing a hat and covering up to protect myself and occassionally if I am going to spend a lot of time in the sun, by putting on a safe sunscreen. All my bathroom products and household products are also safe and toxic free and have been for the past 8 years, thus my health and lifestyle has improved immensely.

I try to get out into the sun about 45mins to an hour most days jogging the the hot and dusty foothills where I live. At the beginning of the season I only expose myself to the sun for 5-10 minutes and keep a close eye during the week to see if I'm going at it to quickly. Slowly I build up my exposure to the point I can be out for a long time. All the while never wearing sunscreen.

The only time I will apply sunscreen (and it will be organic sans the chemical soup) is if key areas I see starting to burn like my shoulders, or I go surfing where the exposure is too great typically to avoid a burn on my face/nose/ears.

We had a really hot summer this year in New Zealand and I spend considerable time out in the sun being a farmers wife. Also have a pool which I spend a lot of time in and I do not use sunblock. Over the past 5 years I have changed my personal care products to toxic free, i.e. no sodium laurel sulphate, propylene glycol, dea, mea or tea amongst others. I believe that the protein in my skin has improved such, that sunburn is now a thing of the past. Must say that my health in general has improved immensely as well. I changed all my products after having a hair analysis done, which showed just how toxic I had become over the years, scary, but definately reversible.

I do wear sunscreen (I live in CO at 6,000 ft, the sun is VERY strong here!). My main motivation for wearing it is not to prevent cancer, but to prevent the signs of aging, wrinkles, age spots, etc. Can anyone recommend anything to do to keep the UV rays from damaging skin other than use a sunscreen? I DO eat a healthy diet, avoid processed foods, cook 99% of my meals at home, take omega 3's, etc. That must not be enough to keep damage at bay, because I developed age spots on my hands soon after moving here (so I started wearing sunscreen, which I hadn't done before).

I am a preschool teacher. Many times, we accidentally write on the tables with markers. Guess what we use to erase them? SUNSCREEN! Oh yes, and we slather this toxic stuff on our kids bec their parents & the school require it. Poor kids.

Now, do you suppose that there is a connection between cigarette smoking and the incidence of melanoma?

In New Zealand and Australia we are worried about the hole in the Ozone layer which is over the Antartic.TO an extent it affects people everywhere. Although some say that pollution in big cities protects people from the unfiltered sunlight. But of course it is the pollution which led to the ozone hole.

Of course the sun is good for us in its natural state ,and with moderate exposure; but when the natural protections are not there as in the ozone layer; then I do not believe that the sunlight is still harmless.

On the other hand the vitamin D levels do go down through covering up. I had a dangerous melanoma some years ago and since then have covered up with clothing (not sunscrean0 but do have low levels of Vit D. Perhaps I will try to get a bit more sun.

I share surfer2u's concern about the distinction between UVA and UVB., since I've also read a differing account in a sports magazine. Again, is UVB indisputedly a 'good guy'??

Birth control pills decrease female libido, and even after stopping them, libido may never return.

I think that 24/7 sexual access, while getting 24/7 loss of libido isn't a great outcome.

I did not like the thought of making my pituitary/hypothalamus/pineal glands masked with false pregnancy signals for my whole life. So, I used fertility-awareness "Billings" method for birth control. That method takes the commitment of two people to work, and a woman who is extremely well-tuned and knowlegable about her body. Both of which enhance female sexuality, don't undermine it.

I went through menopause naturally and had some hot flashes, but always accepted them as a matter of course just like I accepted whatever other bodily issues came wtih menstruation.

Medical conditions that require hormone replacement is fine. I am not surprised that birth control pills have to do with skin cancer, migraines, destroyed libido....etc. Wow, that sexual revolution was a bust, now wasn't it gals?

Was I the only one who looked at the original citation of this article? The article quoted two doctors although only one was used for the condensation. The second disagreed completely and stated his reasons. Why was this not mentioned? I sometimes get the idea that nutrition is viewed as a religion and information which is not in agreement is ignored entirely.

I have always been convinced that even good things can be indulged in too much. This article is of course a means of aiding one in making a good lifestyle choice.

My dad died 2 years ago of melanoma skin cancer that moved to his brain. He loved the sun and never wore sun screen. He grew up on the beach in Florida and was in the sun every day. He was dark skinned, and not a classic melanoma case as his doctors said. He also lived a very healthy life style. He at healthy and got plenty of sun and exercise. My opinion and this is not based on fact or anything for that matter is that he was exposed to something during the war. He was a Vietnam war vet. So again in my opinion do not stay out of the sun, I don't. My dad didn't even once he found out.
