Even if you don't want us to promote our agenda / petition....
I do want to dedicate myself to protecting as many worthy peeps as possible!!!
A long time lover of the human body.... I am particulary concerned with the LACK of concern that most guys have about PROSTATE CANCER..
Sure.... now you are young..... strong..... you think the WORST that could happen is a preemy cremey..... or - a lack of ability - like Temporary Insanity.....
But you all are VERY aware of what you put IN your bodies.... do you EVER think about the health and well being of your PEEP???
Moderation in all my lovelies (except sex - there is no need, repeat - NO NEED for moderation in sex) is the key to a happy healthy life... and Peep.
Anyone else willing to help me promote the Healthy PeeP???
"Here are the facts as were revealed at the recent NIH Conference, held on October 8th and 9th, entitled: “Vitamin D and Health in the 21st Century – Bone and Beyond”
http://www.nichd.nih.gov/about/od/prip/index.htm :
Vitamin D is the key material required to combat rickets, cancer, diabetes and MS
Over 60% of Americans are today Vitamin D deficient
Since 1975, rickets cases have increased dramatically
Vitamin D cannot be generated sufficiently without exposure to sunlight, either natural or artificial
Sunscreen blocks UV-B, which then inhibits Vitamin D generation
1.3 million internal (breast, colon, stomach) cancer cases per year are attributed to Vitamin D deficiency
Over 50,000 cases of diabetes and MS are attributed to Vitamin D deficiency
Of the 7,9 00 melanoma cases each year, better than 95% are completely cured
Given the choice, people overwhelmingly would rather deal with skin cancer versus the internal varieties
Internal cancers pull nearly 97 billion dollars (and increasing) per year out of the US economy through Medicare
Background
In June of this year, Dr. James Spencer of the AAD met with members of the Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Science and Technology (FDA/ OST), the department responsible for governing regulatory polices relating to radiation-emitting devices, including tanning equipment and individual sunlamps.
When a complete ban on sunlamps was demanded by Dr. Spencer and his colleagues, Senior Research Biophysicist at FDA/OST, Dr. Howard Cyr, reiterated his insistence that there was no definitive link between sunlight or tanning beds and malignant melanoma. At best, there could be an argument made that UV-A might be a catalyst for common Basal and Squamous cell skin cancers, but nothing specifically indicting sunbeds as a causal factor could be found. In support of this, Dr. Cyr mentioned the Australian 2002 “Sturm, et. al” study that positively connected melanoma to a genetic mutation, which explained why melanoma lesions appeared on areas of the body never exposed to sunlight. The AAD has chosen to ignore such studies.
Dr. Cyr has also taken issue with the Swedish study submitted to the AP as being an outdated, extrapolative survey, conducted in a country where the vastly predominant skin type is “I” (no melanin, and therefore won’t tan), and Vitamin D is generated only 3 months of the year. Virtually every Swede and Norwegian is Vitamin D deficient during the remaining 9 months. Additionally, Swedes drink alcohol and smoke much more than Americans; both have strong, definitive links to melanoma. Using Scandinavians in such research, therefore, would be like comparing the skin reactions of nocturnal mice to those of humans.[/i]
The Inherent Danger of False Information
In a nutshell, the AAD launched this new campaign, using the AP as a veritable “Sword of Damocles”, in an effort to obfuscate the truth, deflect blame away from itself, and harm the producers of tanning equipment and lamps. One can only surmise that, after the contrarian revelations of the recent NIH – Vitamin D Conference were made public (and with his back to the wall), Dr. Spencer decided to engage in a scorched earth policy; let the devil bemoan the fallout.
This kind of academic skullduggery is the same sort that pegged Saccharin as being a carcinogen for 20 years, until it was discovered that the original study listing it as such was seriously flawed, forcing the government to take it off the list of cancer causing agents in 2001. But by then, the damage to the economy, as well as the livelihoods of 10,000 Americans employed in the artificial sweetener industry, had already been done. What happened to the researcher who published the false study? He retired, conveniently, in 2000.
In view of data emanating from such organizations as NASA, NIH, FDA and Penn State / Purdue Universities, the AAD felt compelled to stick its collective head in the sand and promulgate an overwhelmingly potent media blitz to bolster a misguided mantra. Once this information has made it to the trial lawyers, the organization may find itself the subject of a massive class action lawsuit, naming it as the cause of, among other things, the rickets and diabetes being suffered by thousands of young people today.
