Sun block

On my way to Jiuzhaigou Sichuan during my recent China trip, the tour guide reminded us time again to apply sun block when we reach our destination to prevent skin burn and harmful rays to any expose part of our body. Jiuzhaigou is located almost 5 thousand meters above ground level and the high plains weather condition is extreme.
The temperature could rise as high as 35 degree in the afternoon and drop to sub minus 20 degree in the evening. I have never applied sun block lotion on my face and I will never do so because I cannot stand any lotion being applied to my face and to any part of my body. Thus everyone applied sun block when we reach our destination sans me.

There’s a big hole in the sky due to the depleting ozone layer. We are no longer safe from sunrays that exposes our skin to harmful ultraviolet rays, all due to the lost of the ozone protection layer. Sounds familiar?

At least that is what we are being led to believe that exposure to afternoon sunlight is dangerous and may result in skin cancer. We are further advice to apply sun-block lotion if necessary, in particular if we intend to spend time on the beach, in high altitude locations and etc.

Contrary to what most of us believe via doctors and mass media exposure regarding sun block, there are now strong evidences that sun block lotion may in fact contribute to skin cancer instead of the very purpose it was design for, to protect us from contracting skin cancer! There is also medical evidence that lack of exposure to sunlight may contribute to increase the chances of contracting cancer due to the lack of vitamin D, which is generated by our body in the presence of sunlight.

It’s hard to imagine why this important information is not made known to the public? Even doctors are led to believe such false information, partly by the big pharmaceutical companies that stand to lose billions of dollars if such truth is told. Why is that so?
You can patent vitamin D and you certainly can’t patent Mother Nature, sunlight.
