A YOUNG mum who never *sunbathed has died after developing skin cancer.

Mother-of-two Carmel Smith always wore sunscreen cream in the sun and insisted on sitting in the shade on *holidays abroad.

Doctors initially said she had a 99.9 per cent chance of survival but they were unable to prevent the cancer from spreading.

Now her devastated joiner husband Mal has urged anyone who fears they may have skin cancer to contact their *doctor immediately.

Mrs Smith, 44, went to her doctor 18 months ago after noticing a mole on her stomach had changed colour.

Mr Smith, 54, of York, said: “She did the right thing and got it checked out straight away. If anyone has any doubt about a mole, get it checked.”

He added: “There was no anger, no complaint. She just dealt with it with dignity and fought to stay alive.”

She spent her final months preparing her family for when she was gone.

Mrs Smith died last week. Mr Smith said his sons, Daniel, 20, and Matty, nine, had been a real *support to him. He said: “Matty even went to school the next day. He’s been amazing.”

Speaking at the funeral, Matty said: “I love my mummy more than *anything.” But now with his father and brother, he said, they had to carry on like The Three Musketeers.

perhaps it was the sunscreen chemicals and lack of vitamin D that contributed?

[Serpo]

Of course ,we need vitamin D from the sun and the chemicals in the sun screens....yuk

I use coconut oil instead or keep away from very hot sun.

This lady was from the UK ...do they even have sunlight there.....

[platinumdude]

I never use sun screen, but I am not outside enough.

[Bullion_Bob]

I've watched someone very close to me die from this. Once it metastasizes it collects in the lungs, stomach, joints, brain, intestines, liver. Multiple tumors all over the place in every site.

Once it hits the brain it's the hardest to take.

Horrific way to die.


I'd be curious to know what her diet, and overall state of health was like.

My grandfather died of skin cancer, horrible way to go. Almost beyond imagination. I too wonder about her habits, eating etc. No sun also means no vitamin D from the sun (I think). Now I'm off to the bathroom to take my daily turmeric, dandelion root, and vit. D supplements (and a shit).

I grew up in England, at least once every summer I got sun-burned.

Nowadays, I am outside most of the day - no sun screen, just long sleeved shirts.
After gradually getting used to the sun again in the spring/early summer, I rarely get sun-burnt.
I refuse to put sunscreen on

Was only kidding about the sun light in UK

[bellevuebully]

The only time we got slathered with sunscreen when we were kids was a really clear hot day at the beach (and probably not even every time). And it was probably the equivelent of spf 2 in those days. How can we not see the connections between increased cancer rates and continually being bathed, both internally and externally with daily doses of chemicals?

My policy on sun is get as much sunshine on your skin as you can but avoid burns.
In the winter I use a UV lamp once in a while or even go to a salon a few times during the winter,improves sleep,mood and strength.

PS. I don`t want no fag jokes about me using a tanning salon (like what`s next,tell us about your manicure etc).
Strictly for health reasons.

[po14015]

Sunscreens have very poisonous chemicals in them.

Wouldn't have said anything if not for the PS. But is the tanning saloon part of your sauna club membership?

No, I got my gym at home. 300lbs of plates, a barbell/dumbells,a bench and a chinup bar.
I don`t like gyms anymore, too many germs,fags etc plus you gotta pay for all this crap.
Swimming pool is the main part that I miss but wearing gold under 18k purity while swimming in a pool will possibly cause you to lose it because there is that much chlorine in them (very thin chains dissolve in this water if they are 14k and under).

fact half naked negroes in sub sahara africa have a lower incidence of skin cancer than do africans living in Americas northern industrial cities.....yeah...its the sun :oo-->

as smoking rates drop yearly, lung cancer is still rising....yeah, its tobbacco :oo-->

Sunscreen will kill you.

Sunscreen will kill you.
I think you are right about this! The cancer industry and the sun screen industry, live in symbiosis.

I haven't used any sunscreen the last 25 years, still I have quite light skin, burns easily, but I avoid the sun after burning, plus I put on some yoghurt, which works very well if you have burned yourself, 15 minutes of natural yoghurt and the redness is gone and the skin is rehydrated. Even if the chemicals used in sunscreen are not harmful (which they are), the effect of spending hours in strong sun will likely increase your risk of skin cancer, compared to being half an hour in sun and get sunburned, and get out of it...

Nordics must exercise special caution when sun-bathing. If you are blond/fair skinned, take extra care to avoid burns, that`s all.

[Serpo]

Thats right Neuro people put this stuff on then go out into the sun feeling bullet proof and spend more time then they should exposed to high UV.

[oldmansmith]

I went to the doctors for the first time in 15+ years because Mrs. Old was bugging me (rightly) about a mole on my face (everything is fine). When I told the doctor that I never use sunscreen and am outside all the time she asked me why. I said that I would be happy to use it if she could show me the double-blind studies that proved that those who used sunscreen had a lower incidence of skin cancer than those who don't.

She didn't, because there aren't any. It is like flouride in the water, a way to kill people.

[Antonio]

sunscreens and going to the beach is like condoms and love.

[Kali]

I only ever used sunscreen on my nose...seems like the part of me that gets beet red everytime.

I've been burnt bad on back and shoulders well over 50 times. Many times blistering.

Hopefully I dont have to deal with this crap.

My right arm is pretty rough looking and gets bumps on it sometimes like colorless moles...this arm is the worst off from years of hanging it out my car window.

[Dogman]

Never used sunscreens , I try to sneak up on a tan, start limited exposure and work up. Still always get a light sunburn, then after the skin peel , good to go and full time exposure , no problem!

For me at least , moderate at first for the first few days and then work up. I do believe over all as said above the lotion and medical bunch are trying to make a buck. It is a major mistake to get a deep burn, that is what can cause the damage.

Imo

[zap]

When I was young I would want a tan, and got burned really bad a couple of times, now I will just be white and skip the skin cancer and wrinkles.

[Awoke]

I spend so much time in the sun that my skin gets as dark as a native. Every year I go through the same cycle:
I get one bad sunburn, then I am burn-proof. I can spend an entire weekend in the sun and not have a problem after that initial season-starting burn. I'm OK with it.

Now, some reading:

Sunscreen use actually causes cancer, it doesn't prevent it, says exhaustive scientific research (http://www.naturalnews.com/001264.html)

Another thing I have noticed is that with increasing age my skin becomes less and less sensitive to sun, I would imagine by exposing yourself in a sensible way you 'train' the skin to take the rays. My children has never had sunscreen, and they don't get burned even in the sun of south Turkey, but I know a lot of children that are 100% Turkish, that have to have sun screen on or they will burn, and they have always had the SPF +30-50 smeared all over the bodies from being babies... I think it is more important to get exposure to sun when you are a kid to program your skin to be able to take it later... Of course if you do burn, you do need to take the time to recover...

[Road Runner]

I never used sunscreen, maybe once in a rare while to appease someone around me. The last 6 months I have had 5-6 biopsies off of my forehead, nose and hand. The one on my forehead was squamous skin cancer. The rest were pre-cancerous. I am fair skinned, freckled and blue eyes so a real candidate for it I guess. I am told now to absolutely wear long sleeves, big hat, big sunglasses and gloves. I will have a hard time doing that as I am used to not wearing any of it. (hard to teach an old dog new tricks) It does put a scare in you. They also told me to use sunscreen, well even with all the sun I get being a ranchwife, I am a little short of vitamin D. If you have any spots that just feel like a scab and you scratch it and it doesn't come off and it is there quite a while, get it checked cause all mine needed care. The one that looked the least suspicious was the squamous cancer. THen one on my hand looked like I had just punctured it and it would get a little scab and crack some, I did pick that one off repeatedly and it would just keep coming back. I was going to do the black salve until I looked online at some "gone bad" cases. My skin doctor said she had 3 ranchers who used black salve and ended up with deep trench like scars on their face. I can't remember the ingredient right now , but if you get too much % of it it will cause deep scarring. Anyways for now I chose conventional methods.

I posted a reply earlier called coconutty where people had success with coconut oil.

(NaturalNews) Think you've heard everything about vitamin D? As NaturalNews has reported extensively, deficiencies of this amazing health-protective vitamin have been linked to conditions as diverse as breast cancer, hives, weak bones, obesity and more. But now there's yet another discovery showing how important it is to get enough vitamin D through diet,
supplements and adequate sunshine exposure. It turns out that vitamin D is crucial to healthy breathing.

Results of a groundbreaking study just published online ahead of the print edition of the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine concludes a vitamin D deficiency alters lung growth and decreases lung function. Earlier studies have associated severity of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in humans to vitamin D deficiency. But the new research shows a lack of the vitamin can specifically alter lung structure and function -- and it is the first hard evidence linking vitamin D deficiency with deficits in lung function and altered lung structure.

"The results of this study clearly demonstrate that vitamin D deficiency alters lung growth, resulting in lower lung volume and decrements in lung function," Graeme Zosky, PhD, a research fellow at the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in Subiaco, Australia, said in a media statement. "This is the first direct mechanistic evidence showing that vitamin D deficiency alters lung development, which may explain the association between obstructive lung disease and levels of vitamin D."

To carry out the study, the researchers evaluated lung responses of two-week-old mice that were vitamin D deficit and compared them to control mice with adequate vitamin D levels. To investigate what effects vitamin D deficiency might have caused in the growth, structure or function of the lungs, an instrument called a plethysmograph was used to measure the amount of air in the lungs; lung tissue samples were also studied to evaluate changes in lung structure.

"The aim of this study was to determine if vitamin D deficiency results in altered lung function and/or structure as a potential explanation for the association between vitamin D and chronic respiratory disease," said Dr. Zosky, who is an adjunct senior lecturer at the University of Western Australia's Centre for Child Health Research. "Specifically, we aimed to determine if vitamin D deficiency has an influence on lung growth as indicated by a decrease in lung volume. We also wanted to determine if the deficiency alters the mechanical properties of the lung tissue due to changes in the structure of the lung."

The results? Airway resistance was significantly higher while lung volume was significantly lower in vitamin D deficient mice compared to control mice. What's more, examination of specific tissue responses showed the animals lacking in vitamin D had reduced lung function. In addition, lungs in the vitamin D deficient animals were also smaller.

"For the first time, we have demonstrated a direct role for vitamin D in causing decreased lung function in the absence of known confounders such as physical inactivity, confirming the assertion by epidemiological studies that there is a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and lung function," Dr. Zosky said.

"The differences we observed in lung volume and lung mechanics, which were substantial and physiologically relevant, raise serious concerns regarding the increased prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in communities around the world. The results also raise concerns about the potential this deficiency may have on lung health, and in particular, the potential impact deficiency may have on the susceptibility to obstructive lung disease."

Dr. Zosky has called on the need for future studies to be conducted to determine whether vitamin D deficiency-induced alterations in lung growth increase the severity of obstructive lung disease. In addition, he pointed out that researchers need to identify susceptible populations whose lung health could be protected or improved with vitamin D supplementation.

Just thinking aloud here, but I wonder if there is a correlation between using soap that obliterates your natural skin oil and sunburn or skin cancer. It's totally unnatural to wash away all of the protective oil on your skin every day and expose it to direct sunlight.
