Let’s start with sun exposure:
Is it the sun — shining on our skin, or the chemicals in sunscreen that lead to skin cancer?

Almost all epidemiological studies suggest that CHRONIC (not intermittent) sun exposure is associated with a reduced risk of
colorectal, breast, prostate cancer and non-hodgkins lymphoma.

Many chemicals in sunscreens are banned in Europe that are still used in the U.S. today, because they are systemically absorbed, cause hormone disruption, skin allergies, and other concerns.

The US FDA has not yet completed their re-analysis of sunscreen and its safety. The study has been active since 2019 and is not yet complete.

[This does sound a bit like the dragging nature of the Fluoride study done by FDA—and shifted their recommendation from safe and effective to detrimental to health.]

Zinc and titanium oxide do not absorb into the skin, wherease the chemical sunscreens are absorbed systemically.

What are some of my recommendations?

- Get sun on unexposed skin for 15-20 minutes a day

- Preferably in the morning before 10 am, without sunglasses on, this helps the body produce melatonin later in the day to help your sleep (and wear a hat if you don’t want your face exposed as it is more delicate skin). If your eyes are so sensitive to the sun, that you need to wear sunglasses, this may be a sign that you’re deficient in certain minerals.

- Don’t always use soap on your skin in the shower. My motto: soap for “Just the Pits & Parts!”
When we wash away the natural sebum oil on the skin, it may limit the body’s ability to convert vitamin D from the sun to a usable form.

- For longer periods in the sun, try non-nano zinc oxide or titanium oxide sunscreens, they have come a long way and don’t leave that white ghostly look anymore.

- Enjoy the sun, soak it in, revel in its power for life.

- As with any advice, this is meant for skin that is not known to be more prone to cancer—and for all, please check EWG and Yuka apps, and other sites to assess whether you should ditch the old sunscreen for a lower chemical burden.

Keep Sun in Your Life—Even if Just A Little!

Who knew making quail for dinner could be so easy…and delicious!
The darling quail came butterfly’ed so I stuffed with two olives in each, wrapped the breast portion in organic bacon, laid them on bed of chopped garlic and rosemary on a medium-hot skillet, searing each side until bacon is crispy, and until internal temp of the meat was 150-160.
Served with a sweet potato and broccoli, kale, and mushroom medley on the side.

Along with the monumental shift in flipping the food pyramid to emphasize real, minimally processed, whole foods, increased proteins and healthy fats, the new guidelines call out ultra–processed foods, added sugar, and prepackaged foods.

This is a huge step in the right direction of acknowledging a difference between foods at the government level. I’ve heard some quip that RFK Jr. and his office are influenced by certain industry people.

I’ll take influence from whole food farmers, offering minimally processed, nutrient-dense, REAL food to corporate capture of the government by the Sugar industry (which replaced Big To***co), the cereal magnates, Big Pharma, and the rest of them—pushing us further into obesity—>diabetes—>and a future of rote robots hooked on GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic).

At some point we have to question what we’ve been taught not to see.

Sharpen our sense of discernment, and grow our awareness of the systems shaping our lives.

Ultra processed food is a primary driver of 80% of chronic disease: 90 minutes after a meal or snack: Blood Sugar crashes, depletion of vitamin reserves occurs, nutrients potassium, B1, Magnesiuk are sucked out.

But, the brain is impacted first - with mood changes, grouchyness, edgyness,and highly critical moods. And cognitive function declines.

Yes, butter and beef tallow (that fat layer that rises to the top of the gelatinous liquid when you cook a roast or a stew) are best for us! No more vegetable oils, canola, margarine, processed seed oils!

From Kyle Diamantas, Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods at the FDA: “90% of healthcare dollars in this country are spent on chronic disease. We are the sickest country in the world. And 46th in life expectancy, 70% of Americans are living with a chronic disease.”

Dr. Robert Malone had this to say about the pushback of the pyramid: this “threatens the established petroleum-based pharma industry.”

Onward. In health.
