ms b
i read this sad story
sorry about talking about a sad story
of an pretty 18 year old who just died from melanoma
now when i was a little guy
my generation called the baby boomers
were all sun worshipers
many of us used sunscreen stuff
go to any beach and any pool
there would be folks there with
baby oil with a tincture of iodine in it
to be used as a block of the sun
also to make you skin if you were white more golden
like you know
donald trump
of course this didnt block no sun
we all got burned and would get so dark
that some doubted what race we were
back when folks paid more attention to that sort of stuff
yes i got burned multiple times
as
we were outside from sunrise to sunset during the heat of the
summer
much of the time with shirts off
now in my medical practice i have had several folks
young ones with melanoma
some are still alive
some are not
all loved the sun
now a days it seems parents are more concerned about
providing sun protection
i know yours are
sun also ages the skin besides causing the other cancers
basil cell and squamous cell
slower easier treatable skin cancers
melanoma
its the bad one
it can go fast and spread anywhere
just ask jimmy carter
luckily for him he responded to a new drug that may
have cured his disease
now
since we are using so much sun protection
there are more and more kids and adults
who have low vitamin d levels
from the lack of sun
which is necessary to convert the vitamin d in the skin
there is it seems
a right amount of sunlight for the skin
too much does damage
so
ms b
use that sunscreen a strong one
keep yourself covered
but
somewhere in all this
you do need some sunlight on your skin
wish i had known all this growing up
now im pretty good about using hats long sleeves
sunscreen
usually
gma and i dont want no coppertone baby
