Spring break is upon us. Folks heading to the beaches.
Skin, underarm, scalp, hair…..absorb the chemicals contained in whatever you put on them.
Lotions, antiperspirants, shampoos, conditioners, sun screens.
Better head to the healthnut store for those.
If you don’t want it in your blood stream, don’t put it on your skin, underarm, on your scalp, or in your hair.
If you insist on wearing sunscreens consider using Australian MacNut oil instead of the stuff that’s killing off cells in your liver that has to filter the chemicals out of your blood stream.
The stuff that gets into your blood stream has to go somewhere. Go 30 to 40 years of presenting that stuff to your body and something is gonna go wrong.

“….inadequate sunlight or vitamin D insufficiency, some scientists worry that the emphasis on preventing skin cancers tends to obscure the much larger mortality burden posed by more life-threatening cancers such as lung, colon, and breast cancers. Many studies have shown that cancer-related death rates decline as one moves toward the lower latitudes…”

“….excessive UVR exposure accounts for only 0.1% of the total global burden of disease in disability-adjusted life years….”
.
“In contrast, the same WHO report noted that a markedly larger annual disease burden of 3.3 billion disability-adjusted life years worldwide might result from very low levels of UVR exposure. This burden subsumes major disorders of the musculoskeletal system and possibly an increased risk of various autoimmune diseases and life-threatening cancers.”

“….most cases of vitamin D deficiency are due to lack of outdoor sun exposure. At least 1,000 different genes governing virtually every tissue in the body are now thought to be regulated by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25[OH]D), the active form of the vitamin…..”
.
“Whereas skin cancer is associated with too much UVR exposure, other cancers could result from too little. Living at higher latitudes increases the risk of dying from Hodgkin lymphoma, as well as breast, ovarian, colon, pancreatic, prostate, and other cancers, as compared with living at lower latitudes.”

“Sunscreens absorb UVB and it is a major concern that sunscreen use may lead to vitamin D deficiency.”
“When the amount of sunscreen and SPF advised by the World Health Organization is used, vitamin D production may be abolished. Re-evaluation of sun protection strategies could be warranted.”

“…..researchers at two major laboratories found an average of 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants in umbilical cord blood from 10 babies born in August and September of 2004 in U.S. hospitals.”
.
“The umbilical cord blood of these 10 children, collected by Red Cross after the cord was cut, harbored pesticides, consumer product ingredients, and wastes from burning coal, gasoline, and garbage.”
.
“Tests revealed a total of 287 chemicals in the group.”

“Aluminum chlorohydrate, the active ingredient in many antiperspirants, was labeled with the radioisotope 26Al.”

“84 mg of the labeled Aluminium chlorohydrate was then applied to a single underarm of two adult subjects with blood and urine samples being collected over 7 weeks.”

“….aluminium was absorbed through the skin.”

“Aluminum is the most abundant neurotoxic metal on earth, widely bioavailable to humans and repeatedly shown to accumulate in Alzheimer Disease-susceptible neuronal foci. In spite of this, the role of Aluminum in Alzheimer Disease has been heavily disputed based on the following claims: 1) bioavailable Aluminum cannot enter the brain in sufficient amounts to cause damage, 2) excess Aluminum is efficiently excreted from the body, and 3) Aluminum accumulation in neurons is a consequence rather than a cause of neuronal loss.”

“Research, however, reveals that: 1) very small amounts of Aluminum are needed to produce neurotoxicity and this criterion is satisfied through dietary Aluminum intake, 2) Aluminum sequesters different transport mechanisms to actively traverse brain barriers, 3) incremental acquisition of small amounts of Aluminum over a lifetime favors its selective accumulation in brain tissues, and 4) since 1911, experimental evidence has repeatedly demonstrated that chronic Aluminum intoxication reproduces neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer Disease. “
