Thanks for the info Wombie :) Im definitely gonna check for those in the future to make sure they are not on the ingredient list.

I just checked my sunscreen and it doesnt contain either of those ingredients. I only use it on my face to prevent sundamage, just in case Iodine is not enough :)

Hats
How about Zinc oxide on nose and lip?
Better than paba?
This is a question

I can tell when I wear it and I sweat it stings my eyes- this cannot be good
Not only stings but oily blinding stinging

I don't wear anything
But our ozone (I'm not sure why not) has not completely been destroyed
Only a matter of time

Weeeelllll...first of all, I would say time your exposure....build up your tolerance. If you burn easily, i would wear hats or protective clothing before using sunscreen, there are many studies that show that there has been a RISE in skin cancers since the use of sunscreens.

But basically, the health of our skin is a reflection of our health in general

Here's a link to a VERY informative thread re:skin health/benefits of sunlight, etc...read the whole thread, LOTS of good info here:

from the link in my post above:

"European researchers claim they have scientific evidence that UV-absorbing chemicals used in sunscreens and many anti-ageing products may disturb production of thyroid hormone in rats.

However, the researchers said that these effects were prevented when there was an adequate amount of Iodine in the reaction mixture. This effect was also later replicated this effect in rats.

"We need to bear in mind that sunscreens have a beneficial effect in protecting against skin cancer, and so the last thing I'd say to anyone just now is to stop using sunscreens, but less extensive direct sun exposure might be better, too," professor Köhrle added."

" but less extensive direct sun exposure might be better, too," professor Köhrle added."

~ I agree with that ...and, of course, take your iodine, or apply your iodine:)
The skin uses 20% of Iodine in the body...hmmmm wonder what it's doing?

if you get with this Iodine program, skin cancer will be the least of your problems.

down under, i would have to say you know more than i about what youre dealing with. but it might be reason for caution, but not for avoiding the sun completely or for wearing something on your skin you would not eat.

I totally agree! God gave us the sun for LIFE and for HEALING! Moderation in all things. Sunscreen is all chemicals which absorb right into your skin. Bad news. Good health means good skin and the sun won't hurt you unless you overdo exposure. People brag about being tan and I used to do that too. Now I tell them, it's just your skin being damaged, not a good thing. Be GOOD to your skin!

I don't buy the hole in the ozone hype or the global warming hype either. Just watch, someone will be making some BIG BUCKS off the hype and fear of it! Oh well. I'd better stop before I go off on another wild tangent!! LOL

I've seen the posts where you are alluding to something, I must admit I'm curious:)
I've been accused of being too "passionate" about iodine, being "in love" with it, well, let me tell you, I AM! It's saving my life, I do believe...:)
I do what I feel is necessary to keep the info flowing... :)
