"The Sunscreen You Should Never,
Ever Use" - by Dr Mercola
Before you "lather up" this
summer - see if your sunscreen
contains this ingredient found
in 90% of sunscreen brands. If
it does - you're exposing
yourself to something which has
been found to kill mouse cells
even at low doses - try this
instead...
You may be one of those people
for whom summer is
far too short!
But like it or not, most of you
only have a few short months to
enjoy the great outdoors in most
of the continental US. Why waste
it dealing with the two most
vexing hassles of the outdoor
summer season?
After spending six or more
months stuck inside buildings
under cover from rain, snow and
sleet, you rush out and spend
all day on a Saturday or Sunday
in the sun. Not only is the golf
course beckoning, but so is yard
work, the kids' sporting events,
and the grill.
It's easy to overdo your sun
exposure in your quest to
finally spend
some time
outdoors... especially when your
skin is lily-white from being
inside for months -- and not
used to the sun.
There are many simple lifestyle
changes you can make to
radically decrease your risk of
sunburn, such as choosing your
essential fatty acids wisely,
increasing raw vegetables loaded
with skin protecting antioxidant
phytonutrients, and avoiding
processed foods and sugars.
I go into more details in the
video so be sure and watch it.
Clothing Can Protect You --
Especially Caps
Additionally you can use
clothing wisely to avoid sun
induced skin damage. My favorite
is a cap which allows me to
avoid wearing sunglasses and
benefit from all of the 1500
wavelengths in sunshine. But the
cap also keeps the sun off the
very thin skin around my eyes
which is particularly sensitive
to photoaging damage from the
sun.
However if you are looking for
an additional level of
protection beyond clothing then
my team has come up with
something that will really work
for you and your family.
Daytime sun isn't the only
summer headache you can have.
Ever been out on a beautiful
summer evening enjoying the
afterglow of sunset and onset of
stars -- only to have it ruined
by ten thousand pesky
mosquitoes? Or was that ten
million? In several states,
mosquitoes have been dubbed the
"state bird". Nasty little
critters!
In a damp year, mosquitoes don't
limit themselves to evening
warfare either.
They love sultry, still, humid
days ... and parks, campgrounds,
wooded and swampy areas, and
even your own backyard in broad
daylight! Hard to escape them!
Worse, they'll sneak into your
house and buzz around your
bedroom while you try to sleep.
Now, you could try solutions
like DEET-based insect
repellents -- but I certainly
don't recommend it. In a moment,
I'll tell you why that's a
non-solution,
and provide you with a viable
all-natural alternative.

The Case AGAINST Using
Sunscreen -- Even "Natural" Ones
-- Except for This NEW Exclusive
Lotion from Acapulco...
It's true.
I normally advise against using
sunscreens. Even most
"all-natural" sunscreens.
As a subscriber to my weekly
newsletters, you may already
know this. And if you aren't
familiar with the reasons, I'll
share them with you in a moment.
But first, I need to get
something off my chest.
Natural sunlight's potential to
harm you has really been blown
out of proportion. This is
thanks to many doctors, health
officials, advertisements,
beauty experts, corporations,
and well-meaning friends. They
basically tell you that you need
to stay out of the sun because
the sun will kill you. This
simply isn't true.
For starters, there is little
scientific evidence to justify
the many health campaigns that
urge you to completely avoid the
sun. Avoiding the sun just
doesn't make sense. And it
certainly doesn't make any sense
when study after study shows
that ...
The Sun is Not Deadly
In fact, the sun is healthy for
you. Think about it. How could
it be any other way?
After all, your ancestors
survived outdoors, working
outside under the sun's rays far
more often than they were
indoors and out of the sun.
This brings up an obvious
question.
How on earth would it be
possible for your body to end up
being configured in such a way
that the sun is now a deadly
threat to you, me, and the
entire human race?
Like I said, it simply isn't
true.
That's not to say sunlight can't
be harmful. Of course, it can
be...
For instance, long-term,
excessive exposure to sunlight
can increase the risk of certain
types of skin cancer. Yet
moderate sun exposure is less
dangerous than sporadic sun
exposure.
Plus, there's a good deal of
evidence that sun exposure
without sunburn significantly
decreases the risk
of melanoma (a more deadly form
of skin cancer.) So safe sun
exposure is key.
What You Should Know About UVA
and UVB Rays
Ultraviolet light from the sun
comes in two main wavelengths --
UVA and UVB. It's important for
you to understand the difference
between them, and your risk
factors from each.
Consider UVB the 'good guy' --
though of course you can't
de-select UVA if you're going to
be in the sun. UVB helps your
skin produce vitamin D.
UVA is considered the 'bad guy'
because it penetrates your skin
more deeply and causes more free
radical damage. Not only that,
but UVA rays are quite constant
during all the hours of daylight
throughout the entire year.
By comparison, UVB waves are low
in morning and evening and high
at midday.
So, if you're out early in the
morning or late in the day, you
get lots of UVA (bad guy) and
not much UVB (good guy). Not a
good way to produce vitamin D.
Plus you increase your risk of
cancer if that's your only sun
intake, and you fail to protect
your skin.
What's more, have you ever
gotten a scorching sunburn on a
cloudy day? You think you don't
need to protect yourself and you
wind up being really sorry you
didn't. That's the UVA rays at
work. They can break through
cloud cover and pollution and do
some real damage your skin.
Kind of a Catch 22.
How Sunscreens Keep You from
Enjoying the Many Benefits of
the Sun's Healthy Rays
As you may know, wearing a
sunscreen on your uncovered skin
blocks your body's production of
vitamin D. In fact, sunscreens
reduce vitamin D production by
as much as 97.5 to 99.9%. And
interfering with your body's
production of vitamin D by 97.5
to 99.9% may have dire health
consequences.
After all, vitamin D plays a
crucial role in your overall
health and well-being. For
example, this superb vitamin is
known to:
·
Support your cardiovascular health
·
Promote optimal cholesterol levels
·
Enhance your muscle strength
·
Help produce optimal blood pressure levels
·
Help maintain a healthy immune system
·
Support healthy kidney function
·
Promote healthy teeth
·
Help keep your bones strong and healthy
Please understand -- this list
of important benefits represents
a tiny fraction of the ways
vitamin D keeps you healthy and
fit. And, although you can get
vitamin D from natural food
sources, experts agree on one
thing.
