Sat, 19 Jul 2008 05:50:02 GMT

Before I tell my story of how I believe a very simple, extremely cost effective, and totally natural treatment got rid of a basal cell carcinoma skin cancer, I want to clarify that I am not a medical professional, but rather simply a "lay person" who experimented with this method. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'm going to tell you the story of my experience with a topical vitamin C solution and how it got rid of my basal cell carcinoma lesion within a matter of days. You see, I have a history of getting basal cell carcinoma skin cancers, which are not a serious form of skin cancer, are extremely slow to metastasize (spread), and rarely turn into a more serious form of invasive skin cancer.

Sun Damaged Skin

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:10:02 GMT

We've all experienced the pain and damage of a sun burn. It doesn't matter how many times the media explains the risks and the need for UV coverage, a substantial number of people turn a deaf ear and head out into the hot afternoon sun. The result is seriously sun damaged skin and in severe cases even skin cancer. That bronze glow that tanning achieves is short lived.

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:50:02 GMT

Some alarming news from the medical arena was recently rehashed in the news, and it gives just another reason to self tan with sunless tanning products instead of bathing in the sun and/or indoor tanning to get that natural earthy glow that everyone craves these days.

Humans have been living on this Earth for at least four million years. The sun has been shining for about 4.6 billion years and it has been shining on our Earth for most of that time. Strangely, no animal ever contracted skin cancer from being out in the sun and humans rarely did until about 50 years ago. We have been told that this increase in skin cancer is due to a "hole" in the ozone layer. Actually there is no "hole". However, the ozone layer is thinning in some areas, predominately at the South Pole in the fall and winter seasons.

The number one cause of skin cancer is overexposure to ultraviolet light (the sun). The number one way to prevent skin cancer is to reduce exposure to ultraviolet light. Eliminating it entirely would be better, but we really can't do that, and some sunlight is good for us - even necessary.

Gestational is defined as: "Of or related to the period of development in the uterus from conception to birth; pregnancy."
