A lot of you just aren’t going to like the most important beauty secret. Of course, it’s your choice whether to heed nature or not. The fact is though, unless you just want to be considered just another case of no competition, you need to let the idea sink in deep that there are certain factors of beauty that are completely indispensable if you are going to have radiantly beautiful skin, hair, or body tone.
You can run to plastic surgeons and have your face lifted until your feet don’t touch the floor, suck enough fat out of your thighs to roast a whole pig in, or tuck that tummy until it hits your backbone. You can use every form of skin mask and wrinkle cream on the market. If you don’t have a handle on the most important aspect of beauty and health control, anything you do will just fall right back apart again. Are you one of those who spent five or ten grand this year at a plastic surgeon or esthetician to look awesome? Did the work come with a life time guarantee? Of course, it didn’t. In that you can find your first clue.
The deep dirty truth about beautiful skin is that it can not be fully healthy unless all the components of the skin system are healthy. That means capillaries, connective tissue, muscle, skin layers, and the skin cells themselves. Of course, this means the right nutrients, that’s a given. But all the vitamins in the world aren’t going to do you much good without the most essential element. That element is aerobic exercise. Now that you want to shoot me where I stand, I will explain that statement.
Your skin, your largest organ, is an intricate system with many elements working to support it. If any of these elements break down, your skin will lose its integrity. If the elements under the skin, muscle and connective tissue, break down your skin will wrinkle and sag. If the capillaries fail, or blood cells can’t get nutrients to the skin cells, they will starve or suffocate. When blood cell don’t remove wastes quickly and efficiently cells become diseased. You can not correct one of these elements and expect to maintain beauty. They must all be functioning correctly. That is where aerobic exercise comes in.
In today’s world we are continually bombarded with toxins. These toxins are more or less waste material. When you carry enough waste material your body can become toxic itself and cause you disease and illness. Aerobic exercise allows blood to pump through more efficiently to places where toxins are accumulating and carry them out of your system through the lungs or kidneys away from the cells where they cause disease.
Through aerobic exercise the blood cells can also more quickly deliver the most important nutrient to your cells. Oxygen. If you do not agree that oxygen is the body’s most important nutrient, try to hold your breath for about five minutes. You will notice the effects long before you pass out, which will be only a few minutes. You can live days without water, and weeks without food, but you won’t survive more than a few minutes without oxygen. Needless to say, skin cells that aren’t well oxygenated don’t stand a chance of looking healthy and vibrant.
To get all of this oxygen to your skin cells your blood needs a good clean highway. That means your capillaries have to be kept in top working order, too. By exercising religiously, these highways are kept elastic and nutritious oxygen can be pumped to those cells and any damaging toxins or proteins that are threatening to them can be pumped away before it can become a problem.
Muscles and connective tissues, too, need to be kept elastic and well toned if they are to support the skin organ which covers them. When the muscles and connective tissues lose tone, the skin is allowed to sag and wrinkle. Not only is wrinkling a poor beauty statement, it is a very strong indication of the shape of the interior portions of your body as well.
There is no way to replace what aerobic exercise will do for your skin. There are other elements your skin needs as well, but if it is not getting the waste removal and oxygenation that aerobic exercise provides, there is only so much else you can do for it. So put away all of your cremes, lotions, and plastic surgeons phone numbers and go take a walk, ride a bike, or crank up the radio and dance. You might find some incredible ways to get that exercise that will cause you to smile and add just a bit more radiance to that wonderful complexion.

The dangers of sunscreen chemicals have been well hidden for decades. Sources the public relies on for protection have been funded in various ways by sunscreen industry moguls to keep them from leaking information about the dangers of products. Funding of FDA and academic events, research, grants, and other such support have come from the very industries who should be being scrutinized. Lucrative lobbying campaigns have resulted in favor for this dangerous industry. Whistle blowers have lost jobs and been discredited.
Truth has a way of leaking out, though. Especially when illnesses and environmental damages reach pandemic proportions. And they have. Professionals around the world are finding out the truth and, one by one, are joining forces against these diseases and their causes. Knowledge is becoming public that the proliferation of melanoma can be linked to sunscreen usage – the very item corporations have falsely advertised as a method to fight this cancer. Major lawsuits have been waged against sunscreen manufacturers because of their libelous advertising practices. Nothing much has been done about stopping them from producing dangerous products, however. Even if these companies are prevented from claiming that sunscreen can prevent skin cancers, they area still being allowed to use very dangerous chemicals to make their products. While some of these chemicals have been banned in Europe, America is thus far only making plans to stop the use of a few of them.
Concerned professionals and organizations are now standing up and speaking out about the results of new studies initiated to uncover the reasons for the extreme rises of disease in our societies and malformation becoming prevalent in wildlife. What they are finding, and telling, can turn the tide of the pandemic levels of many diseases which now threaten entire populations.
It is now being revealed that melanoma is not caused by sunshine. Furthermore, studies on ozone conditions and cancer revealed that the Ozone layer has nothing to do with cancer cases, which were on a rapid increase even when ozone layers were not diminishing. Ozone layers were fine, but people were not getting out in the sun without sunscreen any more, thanks to faulty information about sunshine. Now we know that melanoma cases are highest where sunscreen is most widely used and in people who get the least sunshine. American College of Preventative Medicine also agrees that there is no proof that sunscreen prevents skin cancer. The professionals within this organization have gone further to proclaim that that the increases of skin cancer in the last few decades may actually be aggravated by the increase of use of sunscreen.
Other professionals studying the diseases which are becoming pandemic now have concluded without question that sunshine is good for us. We cannot maintain health without the vitamin D3 of which our main source is sunshine. Chemical sunscreens make our bodies unable to absorb this vital substance which acts as vitamin, hormone, and genetic regulator. Vitamin D3 is quickly being recognized as one of our body’s most important nutrients, perhaps THE most important. Not only do chemical sunscreens promote Vitamin D3 deficiencies, they also expose us to many toxic chemicals which are able to absorb through our skin into our bodies where it can cause many forms of damage that Vitamin D works against. The chemicals also leech into our environment and are causing dangerous mutations in other life forms according to experts at the EPA, who are now raising alarms about toxic chemicals in sunscreens.
The chemicals in sunscreen work in several ways against your health besides depriving you of Vitamin D3 (as if that wasn’t bad enough). Many of the chemicals are strong producers of free radicals, which lead to cell and DNA damage which can lead to cancers. Some chemicals are mutagens and cause more direct damage. Other chemicals in sunscreen have estrogenic properties that can lead to mutations in reproductive systems and organs, disease in reproductive organs, and gender confusion in both humans and the wildlife which becomes exposed to the chemicals as they are spread into the environment. The EPA is warning that the reproductive mutations caused by these chemicals may be threatening extinction in some species. Other sunscreen chemicals cause forms of dermatitis. In fact, sunscreen chemicals are the number one cause of photoallergic contact dermatitis.
These chemicals can’t always be washed away. Many of them absorb through the skin and become stored in fat cells where they build up over time. They also are absorbed by fetuses. Many of the sexual change in males which are becoming common are now thought to have been the result of mothers being exposed to some sunscreen chemicals while pregnant. These changes include undescended testicles, small penis sizes, and feminization of behavior. The EPA is making the same findings in wildlife exposed to the same chemicals.
Many countries are illegalizing the use of some of these hazardous chemicals and opting to use natural substances instead. The USA has promised action against some, but are not so quick in protecting citizens. It seems a bit strange that chemicals listed as hazardous enough to need specialized disposal methods are allowed to be dumped into products that people are meant to slather unto their skin. In evidence of the FDA’s failure to protect us from these harmful chemicals, we must be alert and protect ourselves. The following list of chemicals used in sunscreens tells how these chemicals work against your body.
Cinnamates, Octyl Methoxycinnamate (OMC): Hormone disrupters, DNA damage.
Ethylhexyl p-Methoxycinnamate: High incident of contact irritation, non-comedogenic.
Salicylates, Octyl Salicytate (OCS): High incident of contact irritation.
Para-aminobenzoic acid, PABA: Mutigen, carcinogen, dermatitus, muscle weakness,
Padimate-O, Octyl Dimethyl Paba: Mutates in sunlight, damages DNA, carcinogenic, photosensitizer
Octocrylene: Photosensitizer, causes indirect DNA damage, blamed for increased melanoma in sunscreen users in comparison to non users.
Oxybenzone, Benzophenone, Benzophenone-3: Attacks DNA, carcinogenic, mimics estrogen. Disrupts endocrine system. Contributer to melanoma in sunscreen users.
Avobenzone: Highly carcinogenic.
If you use sunscreens, you should be very careful to avoid these chemicals. If substances are in the ingredient list that you are not familiar with, look them up before you use them. Start by checking MSDS Chemical data sheets. These sheets are used by industry and will indicate toxicity of a chemical even when the FDA allows it to be used in products. Always beware of ingredients banned in some countries. Stick to products containing natural ingredients. Our bodies are more conditioned to detoxifying natural substances than chemicals – however, still be aware that “natural” is not always the same as “safe”. If you are pregnant and apply a chemical sunscreen it is important to remember that many of the chemicals you are applying to your skin will be absorbed by your unborn child as well. When you wash the chemicals off, remember that they will end up in the environment where wildlife will be exposed to them. It is one thing to make a mistake on your own behalf – it is another to expose those who have no voice in the matter.
Make sure you get enough sunshine to produce adequate amounts of Vitamin D3 for your system. Vitamin D3 from sunshine is non-toxic. You can now get Vitamin D3 supplements, but sunshine is still the preferred source. Twenty minutes of daily sunshine is adequate to provide enough Vitamin D for your system to function correctly. Ten minutes of exposure is enough to trigger the release of melanin, which tans your skin and protects it from sunburn. Once you have enough sunshine, cover your skin to avoid sunburn. Take protective clothing with you when you go out that will allow you to cover up when you have had enough sun exposure or plan to be out of the sun in a sensible amount of time to avoid burning.
Humans evolved under sunlight. Sunlight is a vital nutrient. Common sense about sun exposure and what chemicals we are exposing ourselves to is needed in the effort to stem the pandemic spread of avoidable diseases, mutations, and environmental damage our populations now are experiencing.

The truth is a bit late coming out, but if you are one of the millions who avoid sunlight or wear sunscreen, you stand a very good chance of killing yourself. The following information is going to change everything you know about and every way you look at your health. Millions before you died because of the proliferation of a false idea propagated by shrewd advertising and faulty studies funded by sunscreen manufacturers over several decades. This information may save your life.
This is not information being spread by unaccredited health “professionals”. This information is the result of a magnitude of studies done by a multitude of accredited health professionals and organizations. Why early studies were not examined better, why information from valid studies was hidden, and why new studies have been initiated after decades of malaise is beyond the scope of this report. Money has a way of tainting results even when the public is endangered.
We can not always blame doctors who act in good faith. They have mountains of information that they need to keep up with and cannot read each study that is made. They do not always have access to the means to conduct their own research if they doubt information they are taught. They must trust those at the top of the chain of command to ask the appropriate questions and make the right choices when approving information to be given to doctors who make their care choices according to what they are taught. Doctors must trust the individuals in charge to act in the best interest of the public health rather than those of hospital, insurance, and manufacturing moguls.
When it came to the issue of sunshine and sunblocks, someone dropped the ball. As the public health decline has become serious enough to trigger red flashing lights, however, someone started asking the right questions and new studies were initiated. The truth has come forth. It is a truth that will greatly harm some manufacturer’s profits. It is a truth that can cause a trillion dollar or more difference in the health industry – a difference in YOUR favor.
What is this world changing truth?
SUNSHINE IS VITAL FOR YOUR HEALTH.
Study after study is proving that lack of sunshine actually causes a myriad of vile health dysfunctions, including the very cancers that the public was led to believe were caused by exposure to sunlight. Put lack of sunshine together with all of the UVB blocking agents and toxic ingredients in sunscreen and you have a formula for disease, virus, and death.
Vitamin D deficiency is now pandemic, linked to an estimated one million deaths per year. Decades of advertising by sunscreen manufacturers is compounding the problem by enticing people to slap on large doses of carcinogenics while depriving their systems of cancer and disease fighting Vitamin D from direct sunshine. The results are devastating. The UVB rays from sunshine are the source of vitamin D3. This vitamin is crucial to our health and a lack of it is being found to be the trigger for many diseases and illnesses.
Until recently our ONLY source of vitamin D3 was the sun. All vitamin D supplements were vitamin D2 until just a year or two ago. Research has revealed that vitamin D2 is only 10 to 30% as effective as vitamin D3 and a way to manufacture vitamin D3 was sought in response to the increasing incidences of illness resulting from the lack of it. Sunscreens block the UVB rays which provide us with this highly necessary vitamin. While vitamin D supplements are becoming more sophisticated and active, sunshine remains the ultimate health resource that everyone should partake of — and can do so free of charge.
Overdose of Vitamin D from sunshine does not occur. The vitamin itself acts upon effects of UVB rays in such a way that overdose cannot happen. Overdose of Vitamin D from supplements can occur, but it requires levels of 40,000 IU or over per day for an extended period of time. It is unlikely that a person could ingest this much D inadvertently. Although supplements are being improved, sunshine is still the safest, surest, and most reliable source of Vitamin D3, and it is FREE. The sun also has other benefits to your health as well. Melatonin, for instance, when taken in supplement form can cause problems with continued use, but will not do so when gotten naturally from sunshine.
The following list is only a partial list of information that has come to light (pun intended) from studies on sunshine, and the Vitamin D3 it provides. No valid study has ever been done that was able to ascertain that sunshine is harmful to you. This fact leaves a very big question of how converse information was allowed to be spread.
Sunshine does not CAUSE melanoma. Recent studies have shown that most of the people who get melanoma work inside or otherwise avoid sunshine and the melanomas are most often occur on parts of the body that receive no sunlight. It has been further discovered that sunshine actually decreases the risk of dying from melanoma and is of great aid in the survival of those already diagnosed with melanoma.
Researchers are now finding links between Vitamin D deficiencies in expectant mothers and subsequent autism in their children. Sunshine is being found helpful in the treatment of this disorder.
Sunshine is vital to fighting flu viruses. These viruses are always present, but activate during periods when populations are deprived of sunlight, such as during winter and during long periods of rainy, overcast skies. This is why we have “flu season” in Northern regions. Cells treated with 1,25D, which is manufactured by the body from the Vitamin D in sunshine are able to kill bacteria as well as viruses.
Sunshine can prevent rickets. Vitamin D3 is vital to building bone, regulating the flow of calcium through many organs.
Vitamin D3 is a potent anticarcinogenic – that is, it acts against cancer, it does NOT CAUSE it. It does so by arresting the growth of cells with DNA damage as well as those which regulate cellular self-detoxification and energy management. Cell damage caused by over exposure to UVB rays (sunburn) can be controlled by the Vitamin D the body produces from the rays. This doesn’t mean it’s good to let yourself burn.
Vitamin D is necessary for the correct function of at least 1,000 genes including those involved in cellular defenses.
Sunshine regulates immune system responses. While excessive exposure to UVB rays can result in sunburn, and subsequently, inflammation, special enzyme modifications of Vitamin D produce an anti-inflammatory form which can have therapeutic effects on auto-immune diseases. Thus, while we may swell a bit from sunburn, the Vitamin D also regulates the damage. Again, this doesn’t mean that you want to let yourself get sunburns. Sunshine decreases the risk of developing MS, Crohn’s disease, and autoimmune diabetes and alleviates symptoms in those who have these malaises.
Vitamin D is essential to proper brain functioning. Brain cells contain many vitamin D receptors – that should be a clue that the substance belongs there.
Vitamin D is vital for muscle strength.
The list goes on but I am sure you are getting the full picture by this time. Because Vitamin D acts as a vitamin, a hormone, and a gene regulator, whole syndromes with many symptoms can be caused and aggravated by lack of this vital substance.
Skin is not just a wrapper for you to decorate. It is your largest organ. It is also an organ constructed with the ability to metabolize Vitamin D for its immediate use. You can not do your body a better favor than giving it unfiltered sunlight every day. Even if your skin burns easily, you should get sunlight each day. Ten to twenty minutes per day of sunshine is enough to give you the vital Vitamin D your system needs to remain healthy. That is also enough time for your body to produce melanin, the substance responsible for tanning which further protects your body from harm from the sun’s radiation. If your skin burns easily you will want to limit your exposure. Burning is not good for you.
Burning does cause damage to your skin cells, and damage to cells is not healthy. While exposure to sun is necessary, over-exposure should be avoided. Vitamin D which you receive from sun exposure does have the ability to help heal accidental burns. It would not be wise to burn continually or badly, nevertheless. There is such a thing as doing too much damage. You are not going to turn to leather or get cancer just because you got a little pink once or twice, though.
If you are black, hispanic, or of other darker skinned races it is harder for you to metabolize Vitamin D than it is for white skinned people and you will want to get more sunshine. Human beings originated in warm climates near the equator where sunshine was prevalent year round. As they migrated northward to areas where sunlight was more scarce skin mutated to a lighter color which more easily metabolized vitamin D. Blacks living in Northern longitudes should pay close attention to getting enough sunshine to compensate for this metabolism difference.
Research is now forthcoming which shows that sunscreens are extremely damaging ways to control sun exposure. They work against you in two ways. First, they block your body’s ability to absorb Vitamin D. Those who apply sunscreen before going out in the sun are completely depriving their bodies of one of its most vital nutrients. Sunscreens also contain many chemicals that cause cancer and do other damage to your skin and body. So by applying sunscreen you are not only applying dangerous toxins to your skin, you are depriving yourself of the very substance that would help your body work against those disease causing toxins. Not a good idea for either looking or feeling great. Researchers have found that incidences of many cancers parallel the increasing trends to avoid sunshine and to use sunscreen. Covering with clothing and getting out of direct light before you burn is always a good idea. Avoiding the sun completely or slathering yourself with toxic waste is not.
Another reason many people are afraid of sunshine is that they wrongfully believe that sunshine will make their skin old and leathery. If you allow yourself to burn repeatedly, you can expect skin damage. If you do not allow yourself to burn you will not suffer aging effects from sunlight, however. If you are getting a lot of sunlight and your skin is turning leathery, you might look at other reasons for skin deterioration. Studies have linked a lack of Omega 3 oils in the body to the development of leathery skin and harm from sun exposure. Good nutrition giving your body the vitamins and the omega 3 oils it needs has shown to keep even the most tanned skin supple.
If you are already sickly, a daily dose of sunshine will help in more ways than can be expressed within this small introduction to sunlight. If you aren’t sick yet, you can avoid most illnesses by spending more time in the sunshine. Isn’t it wonderful that health can be that easy and inexpensive?

You get up one morning and look in the mirror. Gasp! You look ten years older today than you did yesterday. The wrinkles have set in something furious overnight. Grabbing your moisturizing cream you completely slather your face with it and go about your morning routine only to find when you return to the mirror that the cream didn’t do much for you. Before you panic or decide that life as you know it has taken a quick one way path to premature old age, just take it as a warning and relax. Much of the “overnight prune” syndrome can be fixed easily without a lot of expensive or lengthy treatment. Before you do anything, take time to study your face in the mirror. The areas that look bad are the areas you should pay close attention to in your daily care routines. Now that you have that information, it’s time to fix the damage. How your skin can degenerate so badly overnight isn’t usually a complicated question either. You may have already noticed that some days you look a lot younger and healthier than others. The explanation is almost always very simple. You are dehydrated. While the statistics vary a percent or two, they all concur that your body is over 90% water. Water keeps you cells plump and healthy. It allows toxins and wastes to be removed into the blood stream and filtered from the body and aids in the absorption of nutrients and oxygen. If you don’t have enough of this vital fluid in your system your cells shrivel and your skin becomes wrinkled and leathery. When this happens you also have cells being damaged by poisons that are not being washed away from them and nutrients not getting into them. Dehydration can be confusing because you won’t always feel thirsty when you are dehydrating. By the time you do feel thirst, your skin is already on its way to shriveling. Thirst does not come before dehydration; it is a symptom that tells you that you are dehydrated. Once you feel thirst, you have already got some catching up to do. Dehydration can also give false signals of hunger rather than thirst. If you are eating normally and seem to be continually hungry what you actually may need is a big glass of fresh clear water. Put down your fork and pour your self a nice pure glass of non-calorie remedy. As a rule of thumb you should be normally getting a half ounce of water per day per pound of weight. There are factors that will increase your need, such as exercise, altitude, heat, fever, and even drinking alcohol. If you aren’t sure if you are drinking enough liquid, watch your face and hands. Your skin will tell you if you are getting enough. If you didn’t get enough water during the day you will continue to dehydrate through your sleeping hours. When you wake up you will then get the shock of your life when you look in the mirror. If you do wake up shriveled, give yourself a twenty ounce glass of water. Water without chlorine and fluoride are best if you have access, and you always should. Drink that glass quickly then refill it and carry the second glass with you while you attend to your morning routine. Keep the glass with you. You will drink it if it is there. When that glass is near empty, refill it. Repeat that as often as you can manage without allowing yourself to feel bloated or sick. It is possible to drink too fast and your body will quickly tell you when you are doing so by causing discomfort. If you are already dehydrated, however, the normal half ounce per pound will not be enough to bring you back to proper hydration so don’t stop just because you have had you “quota” for the day. After a glass or two of just plain water you might want to drink a glass of organic milk, soy milk, juice, or tea between glasses of water. These liquids are all skin food and will nourish your cells while hydrating your body. Dehydration can deplete nutrition in the cells so a glass of orange juice with added calcium is a treat not only for your taste buds but for your skin as well. Do make sure that you drink mostly water throughout the day, though, as your body needs it’s pure liquid attribute just as much as it needs other nutrients. When dehydrated you need to take special care to stay away from coffee and soda pops or other liquids containing caffeine and sugar. While a cup of coffee might not hurt now and then in normal circumstances, while you are dehydrated you should steer clear of it. Soda pop should be avoided at all costs whether you are dehydrated or not. Your body recognizes carbon as waste and too much of that in your bloodstream will overload your immune system as your blood cells concentrate on removing it from your body. Alcohol, too, particularly wine, has argument for it’s health benefits in small doses, but when dehydrated it is the last thing you should be drinking. Alcohol will dry you out rapidly. It only takes a few hours to see the effects of alcohol on your skin. If you are continuously sipping water and a few skin fluids during the day you will start to see your skin becoming supple and smooth again. If the dehydration was allowed to get far enough it will take a little longer to reverse it, but it will reverse if you just keep the liquid going down. After a few terrifying wake up calls and seeing how water reverses the damage, you won’t need much coaching to be reminded to keep a glass of water with you as you go about your day.
