Looking for information about Natural Remedies, Herbal Treatments, Holistic Cures, and Alternative Medicines for Cancer Prevention - What About Sunlight??
Check out the resources below:

• Nearly all physicians and nutritionists agree today that sunlight is harmful, even dangerous. But is this really true?

• It is not easy to arrive at clear-cut answers in this debate, but certain facts should be mentioned:

• First, some sunlight on your skin is extremely important as a purifying agent. An entire book has been written about the physical benefits of obtaining some sunlight on your body.

• Second, you need some sunlight in order to obtain enough vitamin D for your bones. The oils just below the surface layers of skin are irradiated by sunlight and vitamin D is produced.

• Third, the author of that special book, Sunlight, by Zane Kime, M.D., is the recognized world authority on the subject-and in a special section on cancer, he provides 25 pages of detailed information about suntans in relation to skin cancer.

• Kime declares that sunlight does not cause skin cancer, if the diet is correct! Here, briefly, are several of his points:

• Sunlight can change cholesterol near the skin surface into free radicals, which can cause cancer. But a good diet will eliminate the free radicals.

• A high-fat diet increases the likelihood of skin cancer. This includes too much oil of any kind in the diet-grease, hydrogenated oil, trans-fat, and vegetable oil.

• Trans-fat (fat which is not polyunsaturated) stops oxygen utilization by the cell, and leads to cancer. Liquid vegetable oil can be up to 6% trans-fat, margarines up to 54%, and solid shortening up to 58%.

• If you are on a low-fat diet, sunlight hitting your skin actually inhibits cancer.
