Since switching to cooking everything in tallow and butter while avoiding seed oils as much as possible, I no longer burn in the sun. I spend up to 6-10 hours out on the beach and may get a little red but no longer burn. I do this 5-6 days a week during the summer. The seed oils that you consume cook you from within. I never use sunscreen, stay well hydrated, and will apply coconut oil after I shower if my skin is dry.
Also, stopped using sun glasses as UV light helps with balancing hormones.I only put them on when I absolutely have to whole driving which is very rare. Your eyes get use to the light after a few months.
I 100% agree about the benefits of sunlight, however...
Sunglasses DO protect your eyes from developing cataracts and macular degeneration. I rarely used sunglasses until cataracts in both eyes developed. Since surgery, my world is so much brighter, and I never go without
sunglasses, even on an overcast day.
A cataract is a cloudiness of the lens in the eye. The lens bends incoming light rays and focuses them onto the retina. Human lenses must be clear to transmit the light without any scattering and loss. Lenses gradually get cloudy after age 30, and by your 60s and 70s, cloudiness decreases the amount of light penetrance into the eye and scatters the incoming light. For this reason, people with cataracts have dim and fuzzy vision. Aging is the most common cause of cataracts, but UVB definitely accelerates cataract formation.
Not all lenses claiming to absorb 100% of UV can indeed block all UV wavelengths. In the United States, manufacturers are allowed to claim 100% UV protection for lenses that absorb ultraviolet rays with wavelengths up to 380nm even though the range of ultraviolet rays extends up to 400nm, but less than that is better than nothing.
I'm a big fan of organic cold pressed coconut oil for this...
Decades ago I went on a cruise, got ABSOLUTELY LOBSTER RED FRIED on Barbados... local dude sold me fresh pressed coconut oil and said it would both alleviate the burn and protect against more burning....
Skeptical, but somewhat desperate, I obliged and slathered my skin with it. The burn went away... the tightness of my entire skin suit relaxed... absolutely no peeling (in sheets like used to happen) it was quite miraculous.
Since then, I've been using it whenever I'm overexposed working outside or I've got a string of days where I've been exposed and I want to quench my skin really well before going back out in the intense sun.
I absolutely refuse to use any kind of "sunscreen" since my late teens when I could avoid Mom trying to slather that shit on me... scary ingredients in them. I think the main issue, eXspecially with Whyte peepo is that their skin isn't moisturized enough and it dries out and the damage occurs. Shmearing on coconut oil goes right in and penetrates deep and keeps your cells from frying.
I haven't tried it, and probably won't, but I'd imagine that beef tallow would probably function in a similar way... I can't imagine I'd be happy walking around smelling like a lard omelette...
Back "in the day" people who used "suntan oil" were nuts..."They're gonna fry!!!" - In hindsight they were onto something, but plain/pure oil is where it's at in my experience.
Warning: 4-legged friends will want to lick it off your skin because you smell like cake...
Castor oil used to be a thing too. Every household had some. But it’s good for us so it needed replacing. For about $10 bucks you can buy some and it rivals serums costing much more.
I use organic cold pressed coconut oil on my skin- sometimes I slather it on- takes awhile to soak in- but amazing. Also spritz olive oil as a daily moisturizer...
Had normal "zits" as a teen, but get wierd compliments on my skin (in my 50s)
Sunscreen burns me- only used sporadically in my younger years- never now- I hate the feel of it
Im in the PNW, and every second the sun is out, I want to be in it, and go out to soak it in.
I ALWAYS feel better in the sun...I just chalked it up to my awesome childhood in SoCal.
Mom= "Go outside and play!!!"
If you switch to cooking with butter and tallow and eat plenty of animal fats, you won't need to use coconut oil on your skin. Also helps to include more salt in your diet.
I have felt the sun to cancer thing was bunk. Did farmers and ranchers and loggers of 18-1900’s develop skin cancer, how many Amish get it?
I feel that chemicals which get absorbed (orally or skin) and then activated thru sunlight and possibly some artifical ones has a much higher risk of being the cause of skin cancer.
I love the sunshine! I am lucky to live in an area that get plenty of warm sunshine. If I get to feeling a little down. 20 minutes in the sun will perk me right up!
Deep inside we have photoreceptors. This is not accidental. So we must need light and red and near infrared both do this. Low sunlight exposure is also linked to skin cancer. Hmmmmm? Everything good is somehow presented as bad for us. Same thing with grounding… shoe soles were natural materials until P.F. Flyers. Run faster and jump higher while you are actually insulating yourself from the Earth. See Iodine… another lie. We need 25 to 50 mgs. It’s RDA is 150mcg which is roughly 1/6 of a milligram.
I have a holistic dentist who said taking PABA will keep you from burning. We tried it... it worked! I totally forgot until now. All last summer we took it and were fine. I do think seed oils changed our bodies and now we burn. I often think about how people in the past didn't all die from skin cancer... why not? they worked and lived outside. Something changed. Just like autism... they didn't all have autism, cancer, or the myriad of other diseases we get. Why? What changed? I like to find the root of the problem rather than the "cure"

I don’t wish to start a religious debate today. I will say my username has nothing to do with solar power. (there is another person on the Internet that does/did use that name for solar power) The funny thing is I’ve never paid attention to this image. So, thanks.
I’ll leave you this verse from Malachi 4:2.
“But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.”
I never noticed that Bible verse. I hope people that read this think long and hard, rather than transient and shallow like a typical liberal thinking pattern.
Things are not done and said for no reason. Believing so is a huge folly.
I appreciate both of you. My knowledge is minuscule in comparison to what you two contribute to the awakening. Like JT’ has said before, there’s no way GAW isn’t a white hat operation. Thanks for spreading the light, you brilliant people!
If anyone recalls Kevin Trudeau (Natural Remedies THEY Don't Want You To Know About), he made a connection between skin cancer and chemicals in sun-tan lotions.
I'm glad I don't burn. IF I even turn a shade of pink, by the next day I'm tan. Very little peeling, if any. But, I'll keep this in stock for general purpose just in case.
All true.

I stopped wearing sunglasses but I wear contact lenses and they all filter out uv. I haven’t figured out a solution to this problem

Yeah it's cheap... like $20 for a gallon or something

I've thought the same.

Sunscreen is the issue…. Carcinogenic is an understatement.

The nowadays shunned phrase 'malignant melanoma' has an interesting etymology 🤔
Wonderful!
