The sun which provides life on this planet and without it we couldn’t survive, has received an enormous amount of bad press lately. Over the last 30 to 40 years we’ve been told by governments and our health care system to keep our skin out of the sun because it causes cancer

The true facts are the cause of skin cancer does not lie entirely with the sun as there was very little a few years ago and it’s been slowly increasing over the last 40 to 50 years. The sun certainly hasn’t changed and the ozone layer that protects us from harmful radiation is only a problem over the Antarctic where nobody lives but there is something else that has changed over that same period.

It’s the sun, combined with nutritional deficiency that is causing so much skin cancer. It’s the irritation caused by the sun burn that will determine where the cancer will take hold, but it’s the nutritional deficiencies and other lifestyle factors which is causing it to grow and that’s why it keeps reappearing after treatments. The current treatments are not addressing the root cause of the problem and we of course are just blaming the sun.

Many people get skin cancer in areas of the body that don’t see a lot of the sun, like the soles of the feet or the palms of the hands. Also the rate of skin cancer is much higher among office workers which are people who work indoors rather than people who work outside. People in western population areas where the skin cancer rate is highest actually spending more time indoors now because of televisions and computers. It is only man and his pets that get skin cancer and it’s a modern day problem because of the way we are now living.

The underlying cause of skin cancer is our diet or the reliance of too much processed food and the lack of freshly grown food. Other contributing factors are the use of too many toxic chemicals, many of which are know to be carcinogenic. Also our sedentary lifestyle, which because of it, our built in defence system which is our immune system that keeps us healthy and cancer free has become sluggish. A weak or sluggish immune system will allow cancer to take hold and grow.

There is no mystery about the causes of skin cancer or any other cancer. If you want to achieve a permanent cure, it is essential to eat freshly grown food everyday, most of which have cancer fighting properties, remove all toxic chemicals, and get some exercise. If you are in the sun use some common sense and cover up during the hottest part of the day. Sun screens are not the answer because of toxic chemicals they contain and it reduces the body’s ability to manufacture vitamin D which we get from the sun. That is the only way to become free of the disease….for good!

All skin cancers are an entirely curable disease and our modern medical approaches are not the most effective way to heal someone of the problem. They are only treating the symptoms which are the growths themselves instead of searching for a reason why the cancer first grew. It’s easy to blame the sun as that allows people to submit to our 3 orthodox treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy which are all money orientated. Also there is nothing in those treatments that will stop any skin cancer from spreading or returning. Treating skin cancer today is a huge industry and the only thing they are not doing is reducing the mortality rate.
