I have a dr appointment made but have a question since the appointment is a little bit away.
Can skin cancer appear on areas of the body that are never exposed to the sun?
I’m assuming skin cancer is like any other cancer and, if left untreated, will continue spreading to other areas of the body. Correct?

My dermatologist has asserted that a basal cell carcenoma on my back was caused by sunlight exposure, even though the area was rarely exposed to sunlight.

However, I understand that cancers can develop by any cell division mistake, regardless of the initial cause.

According to my dermatologist, if untreated, a slow moving cell carcenoma will likely grow and spread to other areas that may lead to serious problems later. A skin melanoma is very quick to spread and should be dealt with quickly.

By the way, there are some credible peer reviewed studies that associate the rapid growth of tumors with excess animal protein consumption. Check out Google Books and read excepts from "The China Study" by Dr. T. Colin Campbell.

Very credible studies, show that cancer growth can be turned on or off by regulating the consumption of animal protein (casein) in laboratory rats. At 20% of calories consumed animal protein continues the growth of cancers. At 5% of calories consumed, the cancers stop growing.

This has led me to eat almost exclusively a plant based diet.

I need this sunblock badly. I also need it in three days.

What would you do if the government passed a law requiring for all individuals under the age of 18 to use sun protection? What would be your reaction?

All individuals have to wear head gear and clothing to cover 90% of their skin to protect from UV rays.

What do you think would be the good thing about this law?
What would be the cons?
OK, I’m not saying it’s coming true. I’m not asking if it’s impossible, possible. I’m saying, WHAT IF a law was passed like this. Just explain how it would benefit/not benefit our society.

Impossible to legislate and enforce

Watch the journey of a young Australian who suffered melanoma from the use of solariums.

Young Melanoma Survivor Jay Allen is making people aware of the dangers of sunbeds. Jay feels they changed his life, so now he wants to try and save as many lives as he can through his campaign.

If your under 35 and use a solarium twice, it increases your chances of developing skin cancer and in particular melanoma by 75%.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has moved Ultra-Violet emitting tanning beds to it’s highest cancer risk category and labeled them as carcinogenic to humans.

By regulating sunbeds, they remain lethal and will cause deaths. These facts alone should be enough to have sunbeds banned. A tan is simply not worth dying for.

Save our future generations! Please sign the petition NOW to see these deadly sunbeds and solariums BANNED in Australia and around the world.

People either use the words “sunscreen” and “sunblock” interchangeably or sweat over the different. In this episode of DermTV, Dr. Schultz will not only explain the difference, but why ultimately, it doesn’t really matter.
