Sunscreen’s Gonna Getcha

Posted by admin

People who are fair-skinned and most vulnerable to skin cancer slather on high SPF sunscreen and hang out in the sun in summer or on holidays thinking they are protected, but they are not!

Sunscreen has been proven NOT to protect against skin cancer and may even contribute to it.

More than SPF 30 is pointless

The EWG released this on July 02, 2009:

http://www.ewg.org/cosmetics/report/sunscreen09/press-release

It states:

… a new EWG investigation of 1,572 sunscreens and other sun-blocking products currently on the market found that 3 of 5 sunscreens either dont protect skin from sun damage or contain hazardous chemicals — or both.

So, regardless of the studies of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles, there are other ingredients of serious concern here with major adverse health implications which may contribute to the development of cancer.

EWG states :

The current weight of evidence suggests that these nanoparticles do not penetrate through the thickness of the outer stratum corneum and epidermis to the living tissue below. (Note suggests ),

Oral intake is a potential concern for nanoparticles in sunscreen when they wash off consumers and enter swimming pools or reservoirs…

and conclude:

We are concerned about the potential for nanoparticle inhalation with powder or spray forms of mineral sunscreens, particularly given marketing claims promoting their use on faces and on children’s skin. EWG urges consumers to avoid mineral-based sunscreens sold in powder or spray forms, and for manufacturers of these products to avoid using nano-scale particles.

    Hi, I just started …
    Hi, I just started watching a few of your videos, they are great and I’m looking forward to digging deeper!…I’m freckly and fair skinned…so I’m a little freaked out at the idea of not putting on anything to slow the burning process of my skin from the sun, is there some type of natural substance available that you know of or something that does less damage, if I want to say stay in the sun for a couple of hours swimming etc?

    Are the sunscreens from the health food store OK? I have to use something on myself since i had basal cell at age 28 and I have to use something. I am very fair but i tan well for a blonde.

    oh also the excess …
    oh also the excess oxygen you weren’t sure about is talking about free radicals in your body that are produced like when you exercise and stuff. That is why there are “anti-oxidants” such as B vitamins and other stuff. I’m pretty sure thats what it is at least.

    I don’t use sunscreen or a hat. But then again, I have skin that doesn’t burn and I don’t stay out long and besides, there’s always chemtrails so what do you even need a UVB filter for nowadays?

  9. Slugger1988 Said,

    How about, not …
    How about, not using the sunscreen and not using the hat, and instead just don’t stay in the sun for TO long, whatever that may be, i personally are always outside in the summers, and stay in the sun the whole day, and that’s just because I LOVE IT! = D, i wont go around being afraid of cancer just because its a POSSIBILITY of me getting it. =D <3 Namaste

    @newjeffrense Baby oil doesn’t screen out any rays, they used to put it on to make them tan faster, supposedly. And their generation had less skin cancer. Imagine that.

    Thanks for all your research and great info Truthers. What about baby oil? The girls used to use that, you know, a million yrs ago when i was a kid. Before SPF’s.

    Guess what? Sun on your skin gives you Vitamin D – and prevents cancer!!!! Like broccoli and cauliflower. SUN IS GOOD, people.

    Have fun.

    Funny fake sunblock commercial….

    Acclimate yourself. …
    Acclimate yourself. Get out in the sun everyday and store up that natural vitamin D as well as getting a tan. The people that get burned are the ones that look like Casper. Try to get 10 or 20 minutes a side a day

    If you have to spend time in the sun wear a hat and long clothing. Hemp is natural spf+45

    You skin is the biggest organ and absorbs the poisons. It’s like slow poison. Your body has to fight this infection off every time you apply it or eat poisons or drink poisons, chronic infection

  23. CPSSucks Said,

    I read that you can use tumeric as a sunscreen – you can also use it to make your skin look tanned – mix it with olive oil. Not too much though. Wear a hat, and huge sun glasses I say.

    My God! why don’t they just give us sodium cyanide for sun screen.
