Higher blood levels of vitamin D may double survival rates of cancer patients, according to a new study.
People with the highest average levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D had a cancer-specific mortality half that of people with the lowest average levels. What’s more, high levels of the vitamin were associated with an overall mortality level 40 percent lower than people with the lowest average levels.
Knowledge of the link between vitamin D intake and protection from cancer dates from the 1940’s, when Frank Apperly demonstrated a link between latitude and deaths from cancer, and suggested that sunlight gave “a relative cancer immunity”.
So ... why is Plantation Medicine giving lip service to the necessity of sunlight and Vitamin D? You can't patent sunlight. You can't bottle sunlight and sell it as over-the-counter prescription. You can't trick people with a "National Health Insurance" plan and charge them in advance for sunlight.
Few health recommendations have had as damaging an effect as the advice that you should never leave your house without sunscreen. Wearing sunscreen effectively blocks your body’s production of vitamin D, which happens naturally when your skin is exposed to sunlight. In fact, sunscreens reduce vitamin D production by as much as 97.5 to 99.9 percent.
The widespread acceptance and adoption of this faulty doctrine has contributed to severe vitamin D deficiency on a grand scale, which in turn claims about one million lives a year from 16 different types of cancer and other common diseases such as:
Heart disease
Diabetes
Inflammatory bowel disease
Rheumatoid arthritis
Multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis
However, that’s not to say that sunlight can’t be harmful. Of course it can be. Anyone who has ever gotten a sunburn knows that sunlight, at a high intensity over a long enough period, most certainly can damage your skin.

What's even more criminal is that Plantation Medicine has people SCARED of the sun. Don't want to be exposed and, when they are, they are lathered head-to-toe in toxic chemicals.
This silly state of affairs might make some sense if it were only skin-cancer-prone White people, but I see brown-skinned folks - who need A LOT of sun - putting on sunscreen.
As a result, I would bet money that most brown folk are chronically deficient in Vitamin D. How crazy is that?
White people need minutes of exposure to the sun to metabolize Vitamin D. The rest of us, however, need hours. No joke. Most of us can sit out in the sun for hours on end, at high noon, and we'll be healthier for it.
My daughter and I spent all summer in the sun all day every day - sans sunscreen - getting our Vitamin D for free. In winter, we'll be adding some cod liver oil to the smoothie for those extra long spells of low light days.
now why you gotta go jack up an otherwise perfectly good smoothie?!?!?!
jes woman and girl-up - and take that tablespoon of cod liver oil straight with an apple cider vinegar chaser like the CNu crew do....,
and then hasten your funky salty self to the banya for a thorough sweat, thrashing, and cleanse!!!
rotflmbao....,
Can you get certified wild cod liver oil?
Damn good point II.
Didn't even think about that.
The Plantation got Negros jacked up. Seems like the more "education" black folks get ... the easier they are duped. Let them get a couple of dollars and they lose their minds.
I'm going to the beach with my boy and his kids. Dude Miles Davis black. Before we leave the crib, his wife starts smearing this yellowish white CVS brand SPF 13,000 on his kids.
I'm like Sheila ... "what's that for?"
She says 'Protect them from the sun! What you think? Black people get skin cancer too!'
I'm thinking .. .aint this a bitch. Plantation Negros have gone too far with this integration / assimilation / diversity / up-under-white-folks bullshit.
They even want the same problems white folks have.
Sista your children were born with Sunscreen. It's called melanin. You don't need to pay CVS for poison to soak through their skin and into their blood.
Next thing you know ... she will be wondering why they have "allergies" and will be pumping their little bodies with some other product she buys from CVS.
LOL. CNu ... you need to be on TV.
That's funny as Barbara Bush in a bobsled. That Apple Cider Vinegar is a BEAST!
What up M?!
I aint hip to wild cod liver oil.
I shudder to think they got cod fish in domestic fish tanks now. Yuck. Swimming hogs.
But I'll tell you the move. Later for Cod Liver oil.
Get you some Krill oil.
Like 40 times the digestible Vitamin D of Cod Liver oil.
Great stuff.
Expensive. But far cheaper than cancer.
And here I thought I was a G for starting my day with apple cider vinegar. Chasing cod liver oil with apple cider vinegar is just Gangsta! Dayyum!!!!
Your kids must hate you. Runnin' for their lives everytime you even look like you're goin for a teaspoon. LOL!!
Given the mercury and other nasties that inhabit much of our marine life, I thought you guys might consider this issue. Krill oil? Okay where can you get that?
And as a fairer complexioned Black person, I stay away from sunscreen. It always mixed in with my sweat and made my eyes burn. Then I always got sunburns anyway!
I was outside a few weeks ago at my cousins birthday party and got a sunburn. Hats and long sleeved cotton or linen shirts work well. But aside from that, I do like the sun:)
Your kids must hate you. Runnin' for their lives everytime you even look like you're goin for a teaspoon.
lol..,
it tickled me so much, and I made such a production out of it, that baby girl finally decided she'd had enough of my noise and decided to deny me the pleasure once and for all.
lil boy high yalla like his poppa, so we don't really need any supplementation, we stay red and freckled in the face, neck, and scalp from sun exposure year round.
wifey and daughter descended from tall stately taureg stock, naturally sunscreened, they both need the extra vitamin D or start getting little exzema eruptions.
DV:
If you are anti-sunscreen, what then do you suggest to prevent sunburns? (I know you aren't saying sunburns are okay for your skin) I"m a beach lover and I do burn. I use sunscreen and then I don't burn. Long sleeves at the beach: not an option. :-) And yeah, I do wash my son's face in sunscreen on beach days because his red, burned cheeks and nose were not okay with me.
What's happenin' Sash.
I can picture your little boy's cheeks now. How old is he now? About 3?
I asked my wife about natural sunscreens. She said to send you this link -
"According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), four out of five sunscreens do not provide adequate protection from the sun. Many of these sunscreens contain toxic chemicals which are absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream.
Here are the top 10 natural sunscreens according to the EWG:
1. Soléo Organics All Natural Sunscreen
2. Badger Sunscreen for Face and Body
3. Sanre Organic Skinfood Supple Sunshine, SPF 30
4. Keys Soap Solar Rx Cosmetic Moisturizing Sunblock, SPF 30
5. Marie-Véronique Organics Crème Du Jour
6. California Baby Sunscreen Lotion No Fragrance, SPF 30+
7. Devita Solar Protective Moisturizer
8. UV Natural Sunscreen
9. True Kid "Sunny Days" Natural Mineral Sunscreen Stick
10. Tropical Sands Sunscreen Lotion"
Shea butter is a natural sunscreen.
i agree...since i began using shea butta the dark chocolate brown complexion just has this lustrous shine...lifeguard on magens bay beach...gotta keep the skin in good condition...like the tip SMF
