    Contrary to the nonsensical rhetoric of the mainstream scientific and medical communities, sunlight does not wrinkle the skin or cause skin cancer. In fact, sunlight is the single best source of vitamin D which is essential for proper calcium metabolism and intestinal calcium and phosphorus uptake. Sunlight is very healthy for the skin and whole body metabolism when the body is toxin free and sufficiently nourished by nutrients. When toxins are consumed or applied to the skin, the skin becomes imbalanced. At which time, sunlight exposure can produce toxic skin reactions. Therefore, sunlight is not the cause of skin problems; instead it is the toxic food and skin care products (including sunscreen) that we are being led to believe are harmless and even helpful. From a purely practical viewpoint, which claim makes more sense: that something that is absolutely essential to all life on this planet is slowly killing us or that the multitude of made-man chemicals that we are pouring into our bodies is the culprit?

    False scientific research and advertising is supporting multi-billion dollar cosmetic, hair care and skin care industries that are direct contributory factors in the alarming increase of skin cancer rates and the unnecessary aging of our skin. This truth can be confirmed by muscle testing, observation and statistics. It is a commonly accepted generalization that men tend to age more gracefully than women. One significant reason is that most men apply very little, if anything, to their hair and skin. Whereas women use a myriad of extremely toxic products such as dyes, permanents, shampoos, conditioners, hairsprays, hair mousses/gels, cosmetics, finger nail polish, polish remover, moisturizers and various forms of sunscreens on a daily basis. Consider the statistics: skin cancer was nonexistent prior to the 19th century and while our exposure to the sun continues to decline due to avoidance and sunscreen products, skin cancer rates continue to increase. Concurrently, there is an ever increasing number of vitamin D deficiency related illnesses, particularly in women.

    The key to youthful, healthy skin is not only proper nutrition, but keeping toxins out of the body and off the skin. Skin is the largest organ of the body and absorbs any and all toxins to an even greater extent than if they were swallowed. When toxins are ingested, at least some of them will be eliminated from the body through the normal digestive process. Toxins absorbed through the skin will not be subject to this filtration process. An easy rule of thumb is to not use anything on the skin that cannot be eaten. To illustrate, if one is not willing to drink the water of the pool or hot tub then do not get into it. If one is not willing to eat the highly toxic moisturizing cream or sunblock, then do not apply it to the skin. Beautiful skin is maintained by a nutritionally sound diet, not any topical solution. If a moisture is needed, a high quality cold-pressed olive oil is the best and least expensive choice.

    One of the most toxic items we use everyday on our skin is deodorant. Conventional antiperspirants contain numerous neurotoxins and carcinogenic chemicals. While there are many less toxic brands sold in health food stores, most do not prevent body odor.

    Another excellent therapy for the skin is magnetic water. Magnetically charged water from a shower head can alleviate the symptoms of psoriasis, eczema and other skin irritations. There are many other attributes but the most notable are the energizing, moisturizing and softening affects on the skin and hair. There are several methods of magnetizing water, however, the magnetic shower heads appear to be the most effective delivery systems.
