The Sun is your SPIRITUAL FATHER and codes you from before birth and should never be feared. For the last few decades I have seen mothers slathering their children with sunscreens because they have given their power away to the medical establishment and media and think they are protecting their children and themselves when in actual fact they are doing the opposite. Quit relying on others and start taking some responsibility and use some common sense. Lathering your skin with an SPF of 30 will reduce exposure to ultra-violet B rays by 95-98% The suns's ultra violet B rays absorbed through the skin are the body's main source of Vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency includes an elevated risk of developing and dying from cancers of colon, breast and prostate; high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases, osteoarthritis, and immune system abnormalities like multiple sclerosis, Type I diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Every tissue in the body, including the brain, heart, muscles and immune system has receptors for Vitamin D, meaning that this nutrient is needed at proper levels for these organs to function well. How are you supposed to get the proper amounts of Vitamin D if you are blocking 95-98% of the sun's ultra-violet rays? For decades, irresponsible cosmetic companies and a small group of very vocal publicity seeking dermatologists have strongly advocated that chemical sunscreens should be heavily applied before any exposure to sunlight, even on young children. For Shame. They insisted that such sunscreens use would prevent skin cancer and protect your health. This was despite  a lack of any adequate safety testing of these chemicals. It now appears that many heavily used chemical sunscreens may actually increase cancers by virtue of their free radical generating properties. And more insidiously, many commonly used sunscreen chemicals have strong estrogenic, actions that may cause serious problems in sexual development and adult sexual function and may further increase cancer risks. In 1997, Europe, Canada and Australia changed sunscreens to use three specific active sunscreen ingredients-avobenzone also known as Parsol 1789, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide-as the basis of sunscreens. In the USA, the cosmetic companies have held off this policy as they try to sell off their stockpiles of cosmetics containing toxic sunscreens banned in other countries. Avobenzone is a powerful free radical generator and also should have been banned. Avobenzone is easily absorbed through the epidermis and is still a chemical that absorbs ultraviolet radiation energy. Since it cannot destroy this energy, it has to convert the light energy into chemical energy, which is normally released as free radicals. Worldwide, the greatest rise in melanoma has been experienced in countries where chemical sunscreens have been heavily promoted.  The longer sunscreen chemicals are left on the skin the greater the absorption into the body. Many sunscreens also contain triethanolamine, a compound that can cause the formation of cancer causing nitrosamines in products by combining with nitrite used as preservative and often not disclosed on sunscreen labels. From AOL News we get "Almost half of the 5oo most popular sunscreen products may actually increase the speed at which malignant cells develop and spread skin cancer because they contain vitamin A or its derivatives, according to an evaluation of those products released today. (May 24th 2010) AOL News also has learned through documents and interviews that the Food and Drug Administration has known of the potential danger for as long as a decade without alerting the public, which the FDA denies. The study was released with Memorial Day weekend approaching. Store shelves throughout the country are already crammed with tubes, jars, bottles and spray cans of sunscreen. The most alarming disclosure in this year's report is the finding that vitamin A and its derivatives, retinol and retinyl palmitate, may speed up the cancer that sunscreen is used to prevent. In the year long study, tumors and lesions developed up to 21 percent faster in lab animals coated in a vitamin A-laced cream than animals treated with a vitamin-free cream, the report said. The conclusion came from EWG's analysis of initial findings released last fall by the FDA and the National Toxicology Program, the federal government's principle evaluator of substances that raise public health concerns. EWG's conclusions were subsequently scrutinized by outside toxicologists. Based on the strength of the findings by FDA"s own scientists, many in the public health community say they can't believe nor understand why the agency hasn't already notified the public of the possible danger. There was enough evidence 10 years ago for the FDA to caution consumers against the use of vitamin A in sunscreens according to Jane Houlihan, EWG's senior vice president for research. The FDA launched this one-year study completed their research and now 10 years later they say nothing about it, just silence. On  Friday the FDA said the allegations are not true. "We have thoroughly checked and are not aware of any studies," an FDA spokesperson told AOL News. She said she checked with bosses throughout the agency and found no one who knew of the vitamin A sunscreen research being done by or on behalf of the agency. But documents from the FDA and the National Toxicology Program showed that the agency had done the research. Retinyl plamitate was selected by FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition for photo-toxicity and photocarcinogenicity testing based on the increasingly widespread use of this compound in cosmetic retail products for use on sun-exposed skin said an October 2000 report by the National Toxicology Program. FDA"s own website said the animal studies were done at its National Center for Toxicological Research in Jefferson, Ark. And it was scientists from the FDA center and National Toxicology Program who posted the study data last fall. " Let's get real here. The FDA and the Big Pharmaceutical companies play musical chairs with their executives crossing over to both sides. They are interested in promoting the interests of big business and couldn't care less about your health. I.E. the current fiasco with dramatic increases in autism in children with timerosol in the vaccines. Children who do not take vaccines do not get autism. Practically a zero percentage. These organizations are more about suppressing valid cures, and controlling those natural products that  truly work under the guise of protecting you. Nobody I ever heard of died from natural cures. Yet the focus is on natural cures while the medical industry kills over 250,000 people a year by accident. Maybe some of their efforts could be diverted to actually protecting the public. And the World Health Organization is no better and they just played a major role in the latest bogus swine flu vaccines. The Andromedans have stated that taking this concoction would permanently damage your DNA.Why aren't indictments forthcoming for their involvement with Merk and Baxster Pharmaceuticals?  In fact it was the WHO that innoculated over 2 1/2 billion people in India, South America and Africa with a small pox vaccine that even they admit brought out the Aids virus. The public is being bombarded with a host of toxic chemicals in the form of fluorides in the water, aluminum and barium in chemtrails, aspartame, MSG, pesticides, toxicity in the cosmetics and soap industry and most alarming is bio-genetic foods which destroy the immune system. " Anyone who can read a label knows that corn, soy and cotton can be found in just about every American food product. Upwards of 90% of all corn, soybeans and cotton are grown from genetically engineered seeds also known as genetically modified organisms (GMO's). These genetically enhanced products appear in around 70% of all American processed food products. And Monsanto controls 90% of genetically engineered seeds. In other words Monsanto controls and owns patents on most of the American food supply. Some of the patents are actually for pesticides and not the vegetable they portray.  Genetic engineering of crops such as corn, cotton, canola and soy is done to alter the natural genetic blueprint of these crops so they can be patented. This  is done by making the plant sick using a cancer or virus to penetrate the plant's DNA. Animals don't fare much better. Millions of cows, pigs and chickens are kept in circumstances which would normally cause the animals to drop dead on their feet. Yet with medication, growth hormones and synthetic minerals they are kept alive long enough to be sent to the slaughter house. This process happens so quickly that many animals are skinned alive. The suffering of these animals defies description and you end up with sick plants and animals and death energy on your plate. Is this the kind of food you'd like to eat? Is it any wonder only 5% of the world population are free thinkers?" Natural news The bottom line is the whole food chain is contaminated as well as the water and air. Thus the public needs to be NON COMPLIANT AND NOT PURCHASE THESE ATROCIOUS PRODUCTS. Non compliance is what made a fiasco of the swine flue vaccines. DON'T BUY THE SUNSCREENS   You can get all the vitamin D you need for the whole year by sun tanning in the summer. AMAZING NEW INFORMATION INDICATES THAT NOT ONLY IS VITAMIN D FROM THE SUN PARAMOUNT IN DEFENDING AGAINST MANY MAJOR HEALTH ISSUES (INCLUDING CANCER); BUT IT IS WHAT IGNITES THE ENTIRE IMMUNE SYSTEM. JUT AS THE KEY PUT IN THE IGNITION OF THE STARTER  IS REQUIRED TO START A CAR, IT IS VITAMIN D THAT IS REQUIRED TO ACTIVATE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM!! NO WONDER THERE IS SUCH A BIG PROGRAM TO SCARE PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE SUN. AND IT WILL BE PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN ASCENSION TO GET THE ULTRA VIOLET RAYS DURING THE TIMES OF SOLAR FLARES; WHICH WILL ACTIVATE YOUR DNA! With all this toxicity in our systems which lodge in places that make the immune system paralyzed we need to detox yearly; just like changing the oil in your car. It is called proper body maintenance. As a general rule of thumb if you won't eat it don't put it on your body. Since I live in the Northern Hemisphere, I try to get as much sun as possible. I get deep dark tans every year. No, my skin is not old and wrinkled; as I also get in many hundreds of hours of meditation every year. Even studies back in the 1960's showed that meditation has a profound effect on galvanic skin response.  I use olive oil, sesame oil, sea water when possible and rubbing alcohol and since doing this I don't burn and don't peel. For women, I suggest argan oil, sesame oil, almond oil, and olive oil on the face as all contain monatomic elements and rejuvenate the skin. Argan oil actually penetrates to the bone! Especially, in these times the genetic codes from the sun help transform our energy and as mentioned above is vital to kick starting the immune system. Yes, I realize that objectively there is such a thing as skin cancer; but for practical purposes the overwhelming majority of people should not use sunscreens on themselves or their children. Some common sense with respect to sun exposure is always good as everybody is not the same. However, you should explore what levels of sun are good for you and not be influence by scare tactics. I think it is good for people to realize that many of us have never used sunscreens, have never used them on our children and seek to get as much sunshine has humanly possible with no negative effects of any kind. My sincere best towards your attainment of full consciousness, perfect health and abundance.
