#1) The FDA refuses to allow natural sunscreen ingredients to be used in sunblock / sunscreen products
It’s true: If you create a truly natural sunscreen product using exotic botanicals with powerful sunscreen properties, you will never be able to market it as a “sunscreen” product. That’s because the FDA decides what can be used as sunscreen and what can’t, regardless of what really works in the real world. And there are really only two natural ingredients the FDA has allowed to be sold as sunscreen: Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
Any other non-chemical sunscreen ingredients, if sold as “sunscreen,” would be considered mislabeled by the FDA and result in your products being confiscated… even if they offer fantastic sunscreen protection!
Not surprisingly, this whole monopoly over sunscreen chemicals is designed to protect the profits of the chemical companies while marginalizing the natural product companies which could easily formulate far better solutions. I have personally spoken to the founders of several health product companies who have figured out amazing sunscreen formulations using nothing but natural botanicals, but the FDA won’t let them market their products as sunscreen products!
It’s just another example of the FDA standing in the way of health innovation.
#2) Nearly all conventional sunscreen products contain cancer-causing chemicals
Read the ingredients list of any sunscreen product sold at Wal-Mart, or Walgreens, or any other mainstream store. I dare ya!
You will not be able to pronounce most of the chemicals found in the ingredients list. That’s because most sunscreen products are formulated with cancer-causing fragrance chemicals, parabens, harsh alcohols, toxic chemical solvents and petroleum oils. A typical sunscreen product is actually a chemical assault on your body. That’s why research shows that using sunscreen actually causes more cancer than it prevents (http://www.naturalnews.com/023317_s…).
#3) In a nation where over 70% of the population is vitamin D deficiency, sunscreen actually blocks vitamin D production
Vitamin D deficiency is perhaps the most widespread vitamin deficiency in North America. According to the research, 70 percent of whites are deficient in vitamin D, and up to 97 percent of blacks are deficient (http://www.naturalnews.com/030598_v…) .
Chronic vitamin D deficiency promotes cancer (http://www.naturalnews.com/031560_v…), winter flu and infections, depression, osteoporosis and hormonal imbalances. Depending on whom you believe, vitamin D alone can prevent anywhere from 50% to nearly 80% of all cancers (http://www.naturalnews.com/021892.html).
By blocking vitamin D production in the skin, sunscreen products actually contribute to cancer-promoting nutritional deficiencies.
This doesn’t mean you should never wear a sunscreen product, of course. If your skin is really pale and you’re planning a day on the beach in Hawaii, you will obviously benefit from some level of sun protection using a truly natural sunscreen product. But an informed health-conscious person would try to allow their skin to achieve a natural, healthy tan (yes, a tan truly is healthy if it’s combined with good nutrition, see below) through sensible exposure levels that activate vitamin D production in the skin.
#4) You can boost your internal sun resistance by changing what you eat
Here’s the real secret about sun exposure that no one in conventional medicine is talking about (because, as usual, they are woefully ignorant about nutrition): You can boost your internal sunscreen by eating antioxidant-rich foods and superfoods.
The supplement astaxanthin, for example, is very well known for boosting your skin’s natural resistance to sunburn. Its fat-soluble carotenoids are actually transported to skin cells where they protect those cells from UV exposure.
The more natural antioxidants you have in your diet, the more sunlight your skin will be able to handle without burning. Nearly everyone mistakenly believes that a person’s sunlight burn response is purely a genetic factor. They’re wrong. You can radically improve your resistance to UV exposure through radical dietary changes.
I’m a great example of this, actually, as I used to burn in just 20 – 30 minutes of sunlight when I was on a junk food diet years ago. But now, as someone who eats superfoods and high-end nutritional supplements every day, I can spend hours in the sun and will only turn slightly red (which fades a few hours later and does not result in a burn or skin peeling).
Except for one time on an all-day visit to a water park, I have not worn sunscreen in over 8 years. I spend a large amount of time in the sun, and I have absolutely no concerns whatsoever about skin cancer. My skin, most people tell me, looks significantly younger than my biological age. That’s not from sunscreen; it’s from nutrition. Sun exposure does not make your skin “age” if you follow a high-nutritional density diet.
#5) UV exposure alone does not cause skin cancer
It is a complete medical myth that “UV exposure causes skin cancer.” This false idea is a total fabrication by the ignorant medical community (dermatologists) and the profit-driven sunscreen companies.
The truth is actually more complicated: Skin cancer can only be caused when UV exposure is combined with chronic nutritional deficiencies that create skin vulnerabilities.
To create skin cancer, in other words, you have to eat a junk food diet, avoid protective antioxidants, and then also experience excessive UV exposure. All three of those elements are required. Conventional medicine completely ignores the dietary influences and focuses entirely on just one factor: Sunscreen vs. no sunscreen. This is a one-dimensional approach to the issue that’s grossly oversimplified to the point of being misleading.
The medical industry, it seems, does not want people to figure out they can literally eat their way to healthier skin. It’s amazing, actually: Your skin is made entirely out of the food you eat, so how could your diet not affect your skin health? Yet no one in conventional medicine — not the dermatologists, not the doctors and not the health regulators — has the intellectual honesty to admit that what you eat largely determines how your skin reacts to UV exposure.
#6) Not all “natural” sunscreen products are really natural
Be careful when shopping for so-called “natural” sunscreen products. While there are some good ones out there, many are just examples of green washing, where they use terms like “natural” or “organic” but still contain loads of synthetic chemicals anyway.
A good guide for checking on sunscreen products is the Environmental Working Group guide (EWG) at: http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/
Some of the products that are truly natural include Loving Naturals sunscreen and Badger All Natural Sunscreen. Read the ingredients labels to see for yourself. Don’t use any sunscreen product containing ingredients that sound like chemicals:
• Methyl…• Propyl…• Butyl…• Ethyl…• Trieth…• Dieth… etc.
Always buy unscented sunscreen unless for some reason you just enjoy coating your skin with artificial perfume chemicals. A typical sunscreen product is made with over a dozen cancer-causing fragrance chemicals, and they’re absorbed right through your skin. Most sunscreens, when applied as directed, are really just toxic chemical baths that heavily burden your liver and can give you cancer.
#7) Many “chemical free” sunscreens are loaded with chemicals
Search Amazon.com for “chemical free natural sunscreen” and you’ll see a listing for:
Jason Natural Cosmetics – Earth’s Best Sun Block Chemical Free, 4 oz cream
Click on the product and you’ll find a listing of its ingredients which includes:C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sorbitan Isostearate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Ethyl Macadamiate, Calcium Starch Octenylsuccinate, Stearalkonium Hectorite
So how are those not chemicals? Ethylhexyl Palmitate is NOT a chemical? Who are these people kidding? The Amazon.com description (title) of this product is false and misleading. In all fairness, however, this product title looks like it was added into the Amazon.com system by the
vendor and not the Jason company itself. But it’s an example of how the information you see from online vendors can often be misleading.
Always read the ingredients of any sunscreen product before using it. Don’t poison yourself with sunscreen!
Beware the miss-info minefield surrounding sunscreen products
Perhaps more with sunscreen than any other personal care product, the “official” information distributed through the mainstream media is hopelessly misleading (if not downright false). Remarkably, no one in the media or the government is even willing to admit that fragrance chemicals are bad for your health. Similarly, no one is willing to admit that the chemicals you put on your skin get ABSORBED by your skin.
Without those two truths being acknowledged right up front, the rest of whatever they say about sunscreen is worthless babble. Any honest talk about sunscreen must acknowledge the simple truth that the chemicals you put on your skin get absorbed into your skin, and that most sunscreen products are made out of a chemical cocktail of cancer-causing substances.
This is the truth about sunscreen that both the sunscreen industry and the cancer industry doesn’t want you to hear. It’s the dirty little secret of sunscreen: The more you use, the more you CAUSE cancer in your body! (And the more money the cancer centers make “treating” your cancer with yet more deadly chemicals known as chemotherapy.)
So buyer beware. Sunscreen products are a minefield of lies, fraud and disinformation designed to keep you ignorant of the importance of sun exposure as well as the health risks associated with using cancer-causing chemicals on your skin.
Stick with truly natural sunscreen products (when needed) and try to build up a healthy tan while consuming large quantities of superfoods and antioxidants in your diet. Consider taking astaxanthin or other fat-soluble nutrients on a regular basis. Engage in daily juicing of fresh fruits and vegetables which are loaded with living nutrients. Time your sun exposure to build up a healthy tan so that you don’t need sunscreen at all. Contrary to all the misinformation we’ve all been fed, a healthy tan is actually a good sign that you’re achieving adequate vitamin D synthesis in your own skin.

If a mechanic disassembled the parts of a car engine could he reassemble the parts and the engine function again? If a computer technician came to your house and disassembled your computer and reassembled the parts would it work again? Most would answer yes, of course, based on the talent of the technician.
What about your body? Do you believe that the top surgeon of the mayo clinic could disassemble the parts of the body, reassemble all of your organs and your body would re-animate itself into life?
The obvious answer is no. The more pertinent question would be, why is it possible that the unanimated parts of computers and a car engine can be disassembled and reassembled and the mechanical device function again however, the human body cannot? It is simple and yet complex. What separates the human body from a computer or a car is that the human body has this mysterious something that creates life and causes it to function.
The Power of Life
Some call this mysterious something, universal intelligence, some call it energy, and some LIKE US call it like it is – God’s power. The fact is that this magnificent, supernatural power causes the heart to beat, hair to grow and food to digest. That same power also allows you to read this article and interpret the information you are viewing on the page or computer screen. Researchers at Boston’s Forsyth Institute and at Harvard University have taken a big step toward explaining this mysterious something. When an embryo consists of just four cells, they have found, an electric gradient starts switching on genes. It’s like a power switch is turned on that begins to animate you to life.
The study of embryological development shows that the brain is the very first organ to develop. The brain then sends creative power through the spinal cord and nerves to create every cell and organ in your body. From that moment on, that brain-power flow continues to control all function and healing in the body for the rest of that person’s life. As a result, if there is any interference or damage to the spinal cord and nervous system, there will be an interruption with that life switching on power and your organs will begin to malfunction.
Some Scientific Facts Behind the Spine:
• While the body can go weeks without food, days without water and a few minutes without air, it cannot survive for a second without nerve (brain) supply. This is because the nerve supply is the literal life and power supply.
• The brain and the immune system talk to each other and this process is essential for maintaining homeostasis (the balance of health).
• The most extensive and physiologically most diverse component in the efferent nervous system is the sympathetic nervous system, which sends axons (nerves) to all parts of the body.
• The primary and secondary lymphoid immune organs receive extensive sympathetic/noradrenergic innervation (nerve supply), including: Thymus, Spleen, Lymph Nodes, Tonsils, Bone Marrow and Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissues (gut, bronchus, nasal).
• The sympathetic nervous system innervates (CONTROLS) all lymphoid organs and catecholamines, the end products of SNS, control immune function. By finding a Doctor of Chiropractic who is trained in the full correction and stabilization of the spine and nervous system, you not only remove pain, you restore:
• The full communication between the brain and immune system
• Full function of the sympathetic nervous system, which plays a role in controlling every part of the body
• Immune organ activity, which includes maximum function of the lymph nodes, thymus, spleen, tonsils, bone marrow and associated tissues
The spine is the lifeline of the entire body. Certain chiropractors are trained to restore normal alignment and proper curvature to the whole spinal column. Seek a Doctor of Chiropractic who is capable of X-raying your spine and determining what it would take to create maximum correction.
This doctor should be able to not only adjust, but also give you rehabilitative in-office and home care procedures so that the correction can become more permanent. Following a course of care, this chiropractor must be able to re-X-ray you and show you improvements in the alignment of your spine as evidence that you are not only feeling well, you are getting well. Following the corrective period, wellness care will be necessary to maintain these corrections and keep you maximally healthy and feeling your best for the rest of your life.
Chiropractors have spent 116 years researching and showing that in order for health to be restored, the brain and nerve power inside the body must be free of interference. Chiropractors align the spine so that there is no interference and the flow of power can regain control of your body. They also align your lifestyle so that how you live is more in-line with producing health. Once your spinal cord and your lifestyle are in line, interference is removed and the power that animated your body can heal your body.
In today’s world, misalignment of the spine and nervous system is not only common, it is epidemic. Whether you are sick and trying to get well, or well and trying to stay that way, seek a chiropractor who recognizes that the God-given power inside your body that created your body, is the power that heals your body. You are not doing all you can to get well and stay well if your power is not on!

It’s March and spring is upon us. For many people living here in TN, that means allergy season is here. Allergies are the fifth most common chronic condition in the United States. One in five people suffer from allergy or asthma symptoms. The symptoms can include things like itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing, congestion, or even trouble breathing.1 But should you have to suffer through these things on a yearly basis? The answer is No.
The immune system is in charge of keeping our body safe from outside substances that may be harmful. It recognizes and destroys any foreign material that gets into our system. An allergy is an abnormal response by the immune system to a normally harmless substance or allergen in the environment. When an allergen enters the body and meets with the body’s immune cells, a chemical called histamine is released. This chemical is what causes the allergic response made up of the above symptoms. So, essentially, allergies are the physical expression of our bodies overreacting to things from our environment.2
What is causing this abnormal response?
Allergies are one of those conditions that respond well to improving your true health. By true health, we mean actual body function. This makes perfect sense. If allergies are the “overreaction” to what’s happening around you, then improving the body’s ability to function and take care of itself would have to help.
Function is your “normal state”. We change from normal by doing things to our bodies that interfere with function. Toxins certainly interfere. That’s why medicines can change symptoms; however, they can’t create true health because they are always toxic. That’s why all drugs have side effects.
Poor diet, particularly one where foods have been chemically treated, genetically modified, and/or machine processed, all interfere, as does stress or a lack of consistent movement or exercise.
One often overlooked possibility is interference on the nerve system caused by the spine shifting out of alignment or subluxation – thus the reason many people visit the chiropractor- to boost their immune system and restore normal function. The brain controls everything in the body, including the immune system. If communication is blocked between the two by a misaligned spine, there’s interference and an abnormal reaction occurs…
Got allergies? Then get normal. Check your spine for subluxation; inspect your foods for chemicals, modifications and sugars. If seasonal allergies are driving you nuts, then do what you can to begin functioning normally again. Keep in mind, this is a condition of the immune system, the system warding off infection, cancers, and other serious conditions. Itchy eyes are only a sign that imbalance lurks beneath the surface and you should spend every day working on what is real, true health.
Dr. Pete’s 7 Action Steps to Stopping Allergies Now
- Follow the Advanced Plan found in the Maximized Living Nutrition Plans Book, Chapter 4 at least until “allergy season” is over.
- Stop consuming sugar (all forms) – sugar excites your immune response abnormally; and is an immune system suppressor.
- Avoid all packaged/processed foods.
- Drink only water; 50% of your body weight in ounces per day is the minimum – Now that is getting warmer again, drink MORE WATER. Add Fresh Lemon or Lime to your water to enhance taste and alkalize.
- Get outside in the sun and fresh air (vitamin D) and be more committed to exercising – Both build immunity.
- Schedule an extra 1-hour of sleep at night – the key is to go to bed early.
- Keep the power on! Make all your scheduled adjustments, and talk to Dr. Pete about picking up an extra one!
Maximized Living doctors utilize all 5 Essentials to true health in their offices to make sure to max out good immunity and remove any interference to you feeling and more important, functioning at your best.

The nervous system and immune system are hardwired and work together to create optimal responses for the body to adapt and heal appropriately. Neural dysfunctions due to spinal misalignments are stressful to the body and cause abnormal changes that lead to a poorly coordinated immune response. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to boost the coordinated responses of the nervous system and immune system.
The autonomic nervous system is hardwired into the lymphoid organs such as the spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and bone marrow that produce the body’s immune response. Growing evidence is showing that immune function is regulated in part by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.
Subluxation is the term for misalignments of the spine that cause compression and irritation of nerve pathways affecting organ systems of the body. Subluxations are an example of physical nerve stress that affects neuronal control. According to researchers, such stressful conditions lead to altered measures of immune function & increased susceptibility to a variety of diseases.
Inflammatory based disease is influenced by both the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. Nerve stimulation directly affects the growth and function of inflammatory cells. Researchers found that dysfunction in this pathway results in the development of various inflammatory syndromes such as rheumatoid arthritis and behavioral syndromes such as depression. Additionally, this dysfunctional neuro-endo-immune response plays a significant role in immune-compromised conditions such as chronic infections and cancer.
Wellness based chiropractors analyze the spine for subluxations and give corrective adjustments to reduce the stress on the nervous system. A 1992 research group found that when a thoracic adjustment (middle back) was applied to a subluxated area the white blood cell (neutrophil) count collected rose significantly.
In 1975, Ronald Pero, Ph.D., chief of cancer prevention research at New York’s Preventive Medicine Institute and professor in Environmental Health at New York University, began researching the most scientifically valid ways to estimate individual susceptibility to various chronic diseases. He has conducted a tremendous amount of research in this area that includes over 160 published reports in peer-reviewed journals.
Pero and his colleagues discovered that various DNA-repairing enzymes could be significantly altered following exposure to carcinogenic chemicals. He found strong evidence that an individual’s susceptibility to cancer could be determined by these enzymes. Lack of those enzymes, Pero said, ‘definitely limits not only your lifespan, but also your ability to resist serious disease consequences.’
Pero was fascinated by the relationship cancer-inducing agents had on the endocrine system. Since the nervous system regulates hormone balance, he hypothesized that the nervous system had to also have a strong influence on one’s susceptibility to cancer.
To support this argument he found a substantial amount of literature linking various kinds of spinal cord injuries and cancer. Pero found that these injuries led to a very high rate of lymphomas and lymphatic leukemia’s. This understanding led Pero to consider Chiropractic care as a means of reducing the risk of immune breakdown and disease.
Pero’s team measured 107 individuals who had received long-term Chiropractic care. The chiropractic patients were shown to have a 200% greater immune competence than people who had not received chiropractic care, and a 400% greater immune competence than people with cancer or serious diseases. Interestingly, Pero found no decline with the various age groups in the study demonstrating that the DNA repairing enzymes were just as present in long-term chiropractic senior groups as they were in the younger groups.
Pero concluded, ‘Chiropractic may optimize whatever genetic abilities you have so that you can fully resist serious disease…I have never seen a group other than this show a 200% increase over normal patients.’

These studies confirm that medications are not what your body needs when you are sick with infection or cancer; the best medicine is a chiropractic adjustment, remove subluxation and boost your immune system naturally. No medication comes close to the power and effectiveness of a chiropractic adjustment. Remember, your body heals itself; it just needs no interference!
