Avoid Sunshine - Get Cancer?

A growing body of research clearly shows the absolute necessity of vitamin D for good health and disease prevention. However, despite vitamin D’s role in keeping your body ticking along like a well-oiled clock, you are likely deficient in the “sunshine vitamin”—because the majority of people are.
Our vitamin D levels have dropped as a result of being scared sunless by those spreading misinformation that the sun causes melanoma, a myth that survives by mass promotion but really lacks any factual basis. It has been repeated so many times that most people believe it.
Vitamin D affects your biological function by influencing nearly 3,000 of your genes through vitamin D receptors. In fact, vitamin D receptors are found throughout your body, which should come as no surprise, given we humans evolved in the sun.
Recent research1,2 has also revealed yet another benefit of sun exposure beyond the protective benefits of producing vitamin D, namely the production of nitric oxide—a compound that lowers your blood pressure.
According to the researchers, the heart-health benefits from this may outweigh the risk of developing skin cancer. Your vitamin D level varies not only with time of day, season, and geographic location, but also with your genetics.
For example, if you have dark skin, you may need up to 10 times more sun exposure to maintain an optimal vitamin D level as a person with pale skin.Redheads have to be particularly careful, as they appear to be genetically predisposed to developing melanoma, regardless of whether or not they spend time in the sun.

 Sunshine’s gifts extend well beyond vitamin D production. As discussed in the featured article by Sayer Ji,3 five of the many noteworthy properties of sunlight include:
  1. Pain-killing (analgesic) properties
  2. Increased subcutaneous fat metabolism
  3. Regulation of human lifespan (solar cycles appear to be able to directly affect the human genome, thereby influencing lifespan)
  4. Daytime sun exposure improves evening alertness
  5. Conversion to metabolic energy (i.e. we may “ingest” energy directly from the sun, like plants do)
When it comes to vitamin D production, the benefits are simply immeasurable. In fact, correcting a vitamin D deficiency may cut your risk of dying in half, according to an analysis of more than 10,000 individuals.
According to a January 2013 press release by Orthomolecular Medicine4, 3,600 medical papers with vitamin D in the title or abstract were published in 2012 alone, bringing the grand total to 33,800. Research to date shows vitamin D has far reaching benefits to your physical and mental health, with the following chart representing only the tip of the sunbeam.

Another Way Sun Exposure Protects Your Heart Health

UVB exposure also improves your mood and energy level, helps regulate melatonin, and, as mentioned earlier, increases nitric oxide production5, which benefits your cardiovascular system. With regards to the latter:
“Richard Weller, Senior Lecturer in Dermatology, and colleagues, say the effect is such that overall, sun exposure could improve health and even prolong life, because the benefits of reducing blood pressure, cutting heart attacks and strokes, far outweigh the risk of getting skin cancer,” Medical News Today reports6.
Weller and colleagues found that the body's production of nitric oxide is separate from production of vitamin D... Human skin contains large stores of nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3). The researchers note that while nitrate is "biologically inert", the action of sunlight can reduce it to active nitrite and nitric oxide (NO).They found that circulatory nitrate fell and nitrite rose during UV and heat exposure, but not during exposure to heat only. There was no difference in vitamin D levels.
Weller says in a statement that: 'We suspect that the benefits to heart health of sunlight will outweigh the risk of skin cancer. The work we have done provides a mechanism that might account for this, and also explains why dietary vitamin D supplements alone will not be able to compensate for lack of sunlight... If this confirms that sunlight reduces the death rate from all causes, we will need to reconsider our advice on sun exposure.'"

Skin Cancer, in Brief

Before we discuss melanoma, you need a basic understanding of the three most common types of skin cancer, each named for the type of cells affected:
  1. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC): Begins in the basal cell layer of the skin, typically on the face; the most common form of skin cancer and the most common type of cancer in humans; least likely skin cancer to spread.7
  2. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC): Begins in the squamous cells, typically on the face, neck, ears, lips, and backs of hands; tends to grow and spread a bit more than BCC.
  3. Melanoma: Begins in the melanocytes (the cells that produce the pigment melanin, responsible for your tan); melanin protects the deeper layers of your skin from excess radiation. Melanoma is more likely than other types of skin cancer to spread to other parts of your body and causes more deaths than any other type of skin cancer.8

Don’t Fall for the Melanoma Myth

If you believe the lure of the sun is equivalent to the siren’s call for melanoma, you’ll be relieved to learn melanoma is not actually caused by sun exposure, unlike the other two types of skin cancer, BCC and SCC. Although the reported number of new cases of melanoma in the US has been reportedly increasing for more than 30 years,9 a landmark study in the British Journal of Dermatology10 suggests this apparent increase is a result of non-cancerous lesions being misclassified as “stage 1 melanoma.” In other words, people are being diagnosed with melanoma even when they have only a minimal, non-cancerous lesion, and these diagnoses are significantly skewing cancer statistics.11 The sun is nothing more than a scapegoat in this phenomenon of “increased melanoma.”
But this misdiagnosis is doing more than just skewing statistics—it’s causing a mountain of unnecessary melanoma surgeries. A study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology12 found that 90 percent of melanoma excisions end up NOT being melanoma at all. But if the sun doesn’t cause melanoma, then what does?

The REAL Role of the Sun in Melanoma

As with all serious diseases, there are multiple interacting factors that cause your immune system to go awry, such as nutrition, environmental toxins, stress, inadequate sleep, etc. But for melanoma, the sun does appear to have a significant role—melanoma may signify too little of it!
Studies show melanoma mortality actually decreases after UV exposure. Additionally, melanoma lesions do not predominate sun-exposed skin, which is why sunscreens have proven ineffective in preventing it. Exposure to sunlight, particularly UVB, is protective against melanoma—or rather, the vitamin D your body produces in response to UVB radiation is protective. The following passage comes from The Lancet:13
"Paradoxically, outdoor workers have a decreased risk of melanoma compared with indoor workers, suggesting that chronic sunlight exposure can have a protective effect."
And this from the British Medical Journal:14
“There is solid descriptive, quantitative, and mechanistic proof that ultraviolet rays cause the main skin cancers (basal and squamous). They develop in pale, sun exposed skin, are related to degree of exposure and latitude, are fewer with avoidance and protection, are readily produced experimentally, and are the overwhelmingly predominant tumor in xeroderma pigmentosum, where DNA repair of ultraviolet light damage is impaired. None of these is found with melanoma.”
The bottom line is, by avoiding the sun, your risk for vitamin D deficiency skyrockets, which increases your odds of developing melanoma and a multitude of other diseases. The risks associated with insufficient vitamin D are far greater than those posed by basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas, which are fairly benign by comparison, as you’ll see by reading on.

Russian Forces to Provide “Security” At US Events

FEMA signs deal with Russian Emergency Situations Ministry to “exchange experts”

Paul Joseph Watson
 Infowars.com
 July 1, 2013
As part of a deal signed last week in Washington DC between the
Russian Emergency Situations Ministry and FEMA, Russian officials will
provide “security at mass events” in the United States, a scenario
that won’t sit well with Americans wary of foreign assets operating on
US soil.

According to a press release by the Ministry of the Russian Federation
for Civil Defense and Emergencies, US and Russian officials met on
June 25 at the 17th Joint U.S.-Russia Cooperation Committee on
Emergency Situations.

In addition to agreeing with FEMA to “exchange experts during joint
rescue operations in major disasters,” the Russian Emergency
Situations Ministry will also be providing “security at mass events”
in the United States.

This suggests that events designated as “National Special Security
Events” by the Department of Homeland Security, which include the
Super Bowl, international summits such as the G8 and presidential
inaugurations, will now rely partly on Russian authorities to provide
security.

The meeting last week also agreed on the conclusion that US and
Russian emergency authorities will increase their co-operation, “in
order to respond efficiently to all kinds of disasters.”

The use of foreign troops or other officials in a law enforcement
capacity providing “security” inside the United States is illegal
under Posse Comitatus. Capt. William Geddes of the U.S. Army Reserve
acknowledged last year that it is against federal law to use US troops
to conduct police patrols, despite the fact that such occurrences are
becoming increasingly common. The use of foreign troops is an even
more clear cut violation of Posse Comitatus.

Last year we reported on how Russian troops were invited to the US as
part of a Fort Carson, Colorado drill focused around anti-terror
training. Aside from learning how to target terrorists in America, the
Russian soldiers were also out in the local community attending a
baseball game in Colorado Springs.

As Mac Slavo writes, “Rumors have circulated for years about the
possibility of foreign troops being deployed on U.S. soil in the event
of a widespread declaration of a national emergency. For quite some
time there have been anecdotal reports to support the claim that the
U.N., Russia and other nations would be used in a policing capacity
should some critical event befall our nation.”

“The fear should such a scenario take place has been that these
soldiers would act under the banner of their own flags, ignoring the
fundamental protections afforded to our citizens, leaving Americans
under the jurisdiction of people who don’t speak our language or
respect our fundamental rights to self defense, to be secure in our
homes, and to be presumed innocent in the eyes of the law.”

Concerns about foreign troops being used on US soil have lingered ever
since the release of State Department Publication 7277, which is a
blueprint for the harmonization of US and Russian forces under a
framework of United Nations-led global government.

Back in 2008 it was also reported that US and Canadian authorities had
signed an agreement that would pave the way to using each other’s
militaries on both sides of the border “during an emergency”.

Alex Jones has documented foreign troops being trained on U.S. soil to
deal with “insurgents” since the late 1990′s as part of “urban warfare
drills”.

Back in July 2010, our reporters covered the Operation Vigilant Guard
exercises in Chicago which involved Polish troops training alongside
U.S. National Guard troops in drills focused around raiding terrorists
and drug dealers.

According to SFC Mark Ballard of the Illinois National Guard, the
Polish forces were “integrating into some of the civil military units
that are participating in this exercise” as part of Illinois’
partnership with the Republic of Poland, a relationship based around
“integrative training” and blending military and civilian forces in
the event of a national emergency, as well as making this process of
integration with foreign troops more “visible”.

This is beyond ridiculous.  The Russians would not stand for US troops at their national events, why should we?  We highly recommend national blackouts.  Instead of protesting at these events, we highly recommend the complete non support of the events.  Starting today, this site is starting a national blackout of all sports coverage.  We will post sports updates as national blackouts.

  You change the system by forcing the system to not be supported by anyone.  This is the most effective weapon.  Take away all funding support and force those with the most to lose, to change the system.  Otherwise it's business as usual.  It's all part of the one world order.  A one world order would not be bad if it were not totalitarian, but the one world order that is coming is totalitarian.  Your voice will mean nothing.  We have covered on this site how you are not even allowed to voice your opinions these days without some sort of backlash.  It's going to get worse unless you are willing to change it from the inside now.
