A news item today featured a man catching on fire from using some sort of spray-on sunscreen, a product I have not used since I was a child. Seems to me putting toxic chemicals on my skin might not be a good idea, so I haven’t used them since the early 70’s, being in my 40’s now.
Plus, I couldn’t stand the feel of them. Sticky, greasy, slimy. Not for me.
The man was using an aerosol variety of sunscreen, and went too close to his lit grill and hence his back, torso and ears caught on fire. He’s still recovering, but I don’t believe the burns were extremely severe, thank goodness.
I have an outright spiritual connection to the sun. As do many people and cultures around the world.
After all…where would we be without the sun?
We’d be dead, and in short order.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d assume there was some sort of conspiracy against the sun…being told for decades now to avoid it, sunscreen, extra taxes on tanning salons now as another indirect example.
I support Dr. Holick’s opinions completely, in his great video below. I have suffered from low vitamin D levels in the past. Trust me, it feels absolutely awful. I was stuck indoors for an extended period of time, was not supplementing in any way, and my levels plummeted over time to a level that basically made me sick.
Watch the video below and learn. Dr. Holick is a lot of fun to listen to, and just look at his vibrancy based on his…what conventional medicine would consider very high…vitamin D levels.
Then get outside and enjoy some of this amazing sun we’re having during these final spring days.
Heck…get nekkid and spend a good 20 minutes out there.
After all: They’re not putting extra vitamin D in the beer any longer.
