These light boxes are great for getting your Vit D. A few years ago I was severely deficient in Vit D. My Dr. put me on prescription temporarily. He said I can use the light box and also sit in the sun for 15 minutes only
I don't have a tanning bed opinion, I live in Florida. I just wanted to drop off another tendie meme that I've been saving for you.

I went to my doctor for something or other a few years ago and remarked that my kids are sensible in the sun and also tan easily - probably due to the Indian heritage they have.
He's a good doctor in general but he told me to cover them up. He said "Even black people get skin cancer if they don't wear sunscreen"
I thought it was a bit over the top for dim dark England. I guess the doctors are primed to keep us out of the sunlight. I suspect people with dark skin are vitamin D deficient here if they follow this advice.
Tanning is your body's natural response. Taken super slowly, so as not to induce any burning at all, it can be very beneficial for SADD and Vitamin D production. Used to own a tanning salon.
I always have wondered. My grandparents and great uncles were in the Texas sun non-stop without any sunscreen for their entire childhoods and adult years, but never got any form of skin cancer.
They worked the farm in the morning and afternoon. When it was the the heat of the day they rested and stayed in the shade. They wore wide brimmed hats and clothes when they were in the sun.
Key: Stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day.
Then baby boomers and younger generations started slathering on sunscreen and would go out in direct sunlight or even lay in it for hours (for a tan). They all thought they were safe as long as they wore sunscreen. Skin cancer rates exploded.
Key: Stopped worrying about getting hit with direct sunlight because sunscreen will "protect" us.
Many also thought having your entire body tanned from head to toe was healthy. When it's just your forearms and nape getting the most exposure then you just keep a close eye on those parts. Now people tan their entire body to avoid tan lines and have to watch a much greater amount of skin on their body. It makes it harder to spot the early signs of skin cancer when it could be anywhere including the places you rarely look.
I think being smart about your exposure is what's key. People used to be smarter about the sun, but sunscreen gave them a false sense of security.
Tanning beds are associated with skin cancer. Sunscreens are also associated with skin cancer due to the chemicals used. Be wise. Start out exposing your skin to the Sunni the early morning or late afternoon hours. Wear a hat to protect sunburn on the head.
I don’t have any comments on tanning beds… If you want to use one, go for it. But what I do find interesting is that a gym that’s called planet fitness, have beds with red lights or infrared lights in them. You can lay in them and the infrared light is supposed to be very therapeutic for your body. If you can find something like that in your area, I would definitely check it out. It is supposed to be very holistic, and healthy for you.

Probably why they banned them and told us all to slather in sunscreen. For this!

You'll get 3rd degree sunburns before you get enough Vitamin D from the sun.
What chance do you think that tanning bed has?
Sounds like the skin cancer of non squamous cell indoctrination got to you...God made the sun. Everything in moderation.
Moderation wont do shit.

light bulbs can be tuned to output any wavelength the maker wants so it could go either way depending on the model.
