No chemical sunscreen for me. The Sun is my best friend and I always use Organic Coconut OIl to moisturize my skin. I also take one table spoon a day. Apparently, it is good for the brain.

Don't put on your skin what you you don't want to eat!

86.5% of all statistics are made up on the spot! Dr Sam, have you heard of Aussie nutritionist Barbara O’Neil? She seems to have interesting views on these topics.

Tobacco smoking rates have plummeted too but lung cancer rates have increased with lots of people getting lung cancer having never smoked in their lives. Allopathic drs in public health blame everything on the patient. They have to. They are not allowed to investigate the cause of someone’s symptoms.

That’s brilliant research Dr Bailey. I am fair skinned and red hair like you. When I was a child I remember getting blisters from being out in the sun. I have also spent a great deal of my life as a white water raft guide, glacier guide, ski patroller and hiking guide. So I spent every day in the weather. I hardly ever wear sunscreen because like your husband mark I just did not feel it was right to do so. I always wear a brim hat and walk in as much of the shady areas as possible. Yes I have sun damage well gee I am 65. I had a check up a few weeks ago for skin cancers and nothing. I’ll go again next year and keep an eye on my skin condition. I am considering laser therapy to remove blemishes. Thank you for this information it confirms to me the dangers of chemical on our biggest organ. Let it breath. I also have never used shaving cream and use little soap. Even shampoo lasts me for almost a year. I think I will cut back on its usage too. 🙏🙏

People in the carnivore community often claim that their tendency to get sunburn is significantly reduced after transcending into the diet / lifestyle . It is anecdotal but are they all lying ? OR are the authorities lying helped by big businesses in order to help big businesses ? Thank you for your effort Drs. Bailey & Bailey . ( Sounds like a law firm but then you are advocates for peoples health )

I have never ever bought into it. I know skin cancer is due to other causes, like most things they don't want you to look at. The whole sunscreen and fear of the sun, is just a huge scam.

I have heard that regular moderate exposure to the sun increases tolerance to sun reducing sunburn and perhaps skin cancer. i. e. the solution is not less sun it is more regular sun (in contrast to infrequent overexposure.)

People need to get out more often not just waiting till the holidays to roast themselces to a crisp.

Just like occasional extreme exercise puts you at higher risk of injury vs regular moderate exercise.

Titanium dioxide is the active ingredient in most sunscreens. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles also surround the entire planet in the atmosphere and everyone breathes it in everyday. Scientists believe that titanium dioxide is the main cause for the huge increase in autoimmune disease and certain cancers worldwide. Titanium dioxide has been shown to cause skin cancer.

I have a type 4 allergy to titanium and that’s often how it affects people. They become hypersensitive to it due to exposure. Metals are the great sensitiser and a huge threat to the human race. Sensitivity to metals also predicts our sensitivity to all other chemicals. The metals then trigger autoimmune disease.

Everything today from sunscreen, cosmetics, shower gel, hair stuff and and .. just a quote from wiki... "Organic sunscreens (also referred to as petrochemical sunscreens), use active ingredients that are typically derived from petroleum[6] (e.g. oxybenzone, octinoxate). Chemical sunscreen ingredients also mainly work by absorbing the UV rays.[7] Some chemical ingredients have also been heavily scrutinised for their toxicity[8] and have thus been banned in places such as Hawaii[9] and Thailand[10] for their impact on aquatic life and the environment." ... NOTICE HOW THEY SELL IT AS ORGANIC ?...

I am sure this is covered in the video; but before watching it; I decided to have a rant first. I have been a Chemical Engineer in the O&G industry for over 3 decades... but on the "clean and treatment side"... but I know a lot about the general industry and what it has it's fingers in... it is scary, because it is basically everything...and I mean EVERYTHING.

I have never used sunscreen, never understood the point of it... also now, wash in the shower with old fashioned soap I have checked out... as for bog pharma.. again apart from stuff that is normal and natural.. never.. FOOD EVEN... and NO I AM NOT SOME HIPPIE TREE LOVER; I have realised the crap they add to everything... mostly petroleum based which is just crap.

More great research from you sam, thank you. What a revelation about who funds the studies and how the criteria is set etc.

UV actually prevents, more than it causes cancer. UV is our body's pharmacist:

Excellent.

I noted that the "International Comparisons Graph' there were no African Countries. I hazard a guess that Melanoma might even be far less on average , in Africa than the rest of the western world as they are probably better instinctively intelligent about staying out of the sun than using SUNSCREENS!? I wonder.

PS: No shampoo for me Now since I watched the Shampoo Video. Baking soda & Organic Apple Cider vinegar!! Thank you Dr Sam

I make my own natural, organic sunscreen. The active ingredient is melanin. I cultivate the melanin by going outside for several hours a day in shorts and nothing else.
