Sunscreen May Actually be Causing Skin Cancer

UV "baking beds" prove to be the first step toward the
crematorium...

If you've been with me for any length of time at all, you
already know how I feel about conventional medicine's twisted
take on skin cancers - and sunscreen. Why, in just the last 4 or
5 months worth of Daily Doses, I've told you about how:

A DEFICIENCY - not an excess - of full-spectrum sunlight is
what's clearly linked to melanoma (Daily Dose, 7/8)...

Sunscreen may actually be CAUSING skin cancer, if the latest
statistics and case studies are any indication (Daily Dose,
7/15)...

The media intentionally misrepresents skin cancer's prevalence
by lumping together the relatively rare malignant melanoma (NOT
sun-caused) and the common, easily cured basal-cell cancer -
which also isn't PROVEN to be caused by sunlight exposure (Daily
Dose, 7/11)...

But the latest twist in the sunlight/cancer saga hits close to
home for all those "sky-is-falling" helio-phobes (sun haters) in
the mainstream: It turns out that artificial tanning - the same
UV technology the sun-averse bake under to AVOID the "dangers"
of natural sunlight - has now been proven to dramatically
increase the risk of the most deadly and difficult to treat of
skin cancers, malignant melanoma...........................
