Actually, most any cosmetic products & the like you buy off the usual store shelves are very harmful. As stated in the video, anything applied to your skin is absorbed into your body. If your seriously interested, grab a couple of your cosmetic products and go down the ingredients list researching the names and their known effects. Many products generally use a lot of the same chemicals. Very many being known carcinogens. This knowledge will certainly make you question the FDA.
If the WHO or the FDA tell us not to do it…..I’m doing it. What a bunch of lying sacks of shit.
So… Looking normal isn’t good now?!
are tanning lotions bad for you too?
@1RobertD are you dark skinned?
because people from the UK are mostly type 1 skin types, the lightest type of skin.
Unless you have dark skin and are living in the UK you have no risk of deficiency.
5 to ten minutes in low sunlight is all type skin 1 people need to avoid deficiency of vitamin D.
@Friend2Humanity
the risk of skin cancer outweighs the risk of vitamin D deficiency. How many people out there do you know with rickets compared to melanomas?
Maybe you could check how many people die from skin cancer in Australia. Look back at newsreels from the 40’s and 50’s everyone wore hats.
Holy sh*t, research the Marshall Protocol and published studies and youtube videos by Trevor Marshall.
A completely alternative hypothesis of vitamin D.
Vitamin D is a hormone and the basic theory is that it reduces inflammation and dampens down the immune system, which makes people feel better fast, but it prevents the body from healing itself!
..Thumbs down for my comment, lol. All of what I said is facts from info I’ve read and watched of Dr. Mercolas. Watch his 1 hour video on sun and vitamin D and read his articles. And Dr. Mercola has since brought out his special tanning beds range with a company, some don’t even contain ANY UVA rays, too much UVA does damage health and skin – it’s UVB you want.
…you don’t want too much UVA. The ratio of UVA to UVB does matter. This is why midday sun is the best; because it has more UVB than in the morning and late afternoons rays – you want that UVB and enough of it and not too much UVA!
There isn’t sufficient sun in a lot of places, like where I live in the UK. Even when you think there is there can lots of deep penetrating UVA but not the vitamin D producing UVB. Midday hours are best; 12-2pm, and remember you can’t shower using soap as it takes 24-48 hours for the vitamin D to form, you’d be washing it off your skin.
just go in the sun, save yourself some money and you wont die
Hey whats up! I loved your channel!
Its cool. Check out mine! Stay in touch. Hope you got my friend request! Maybe you can sub thanks This is for everybody that see this
He’s not giving any data. He’s just “hear saying it”. Vitamin D is not the issue. Melanoma is the issue. The rates of melanoma have risen in the group that used to be least affected (women; because they used to be indoors taking care of the kids in farming communities and their men were outside plowing the fields and now they are being exposed via sun bathing and using tanning beds)
He needs to list the sources. He says “you can look for the data”.

You don’t need direct sunlight, you get UV even if it’s somewhat cloudy, especially at elevated places like mountains or highlands.
If your skin is not used to sunlight (or tanning beds) start with only 1-2 minutes until the skin gets a tone, then increase slowly over weeks..
It’s the hurrying it that is dangerous.
1-2 minutes seems like ridiculously little, but it’s safe, and it’s for the first week or two.
If you are not out in the sun much during the days on the week is it ok to go to tanning bed 2 or three times a week for like 12 – 15 minutes time or is there a big chance that you will get cancer then?
UVA is what causes cancer, too much is not good even if there is some vitamin D promoting UVB. You need special tanning beds that have the correct ratio of UVA to UVB or you WILL damage the skin and your health.
Type in google; Weston Price the Miracle of Vitamin D…and read that
All tanning beds have a mix of both UVB and UVA, typically a 3-5% B to A ratio.
Even the higher level beds, known for the ‘browning rays’ still have enough UVB to promote vitamin D production in every session.
Tanning bed usually give off too little UVB (the vitamin D rays) but too much UVA. This is a big problem and concern whatever ballast is used. I love Mercola’s info. I’m just unsure on this aspect, can anybody help me???
Preach it Brother!
Amazing and GREAT!! Finally a Smart Doctor how refreshing!!
That bit about electromagnetic fields (EMF) from tanning bed ballasts being unhealthy is pure hokum. The whole myth got started by Robert P. Liburdy, formerly of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, who faked research data. When other researchers couldn’t replicate his results, it was revealed that he “dry-labbed” it, i.e, made up data to support his premise that low level power line EMF was harmful. Dr. Mercola should give up on this stuff before he gets discredited.
Dr. Mercola the best!
