Anyone Stay Out of the sun

[sodi]

I cant be under the sun that long because my skin gets red and I get massive headaches. I am fine when the sun is out but its cloudy yet warm. That is my perfect weather. But, for the most part I do not like the sun.

[marcusbrody]

Jeez. Good luck with that one. the brown skins around these parts walk around with umbrellas

What animal were you in a previous life?

But seriously, it's chemtrails (poisoinous gases) that are causing humans to be more sensitive to the little light we do get from the Sun.

My advice to you is to gradually get your eyes used to looking near to the Sun (not directly at it). Eventually you'll be able to be outside *without* sunglasses on.

Cheers dude.

[sodi]

yeah, its not like I burn like a vampire. I just cant be under it for long time periods. At least there are spray on tans to cover my pasty self lol

[worlds beyond]

hi :)
i also can;t go out in sun anymore (past 5 years).. got Lupus so sun makes the skin on face swell and flare up like bad burns.. looks like nright red blistered balloon after more than few minutes exposure to sun, or even bright daylight.. shame as i LOVE the sun, summertime and getting my daily fresh air on the beach!

[1977]

I adore the sun. Soaking in sunlight feels positively electrical.

Contrails have been instrumental in blocking out the sun. And this isn't a conspiracy theory; it's fact (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/dimming_trans.shtml).

So enjoy the sun while you can.

Dang...I'm picturing that dude Milky from Jim carreys film (me myself and Irene) you that white? LOL crazy flick though!

[lady_oblivion]

Due to having very fair skin(and being a bit of a ginge naturally) i find the sun to be quite harmful to my skin. Dont get me wrong i love it(though i'm more of a spring and autum person) i just need to have a lot of sun block on me to loounge around in it!

[gallifrey]

I only leave the house once a month on average. Hate the sun.

[jimj_wpg]

Gallifrey, you hate the Sun because you were programmed thru the educational system to believe that sunlight on your body is a bad thing.

After all, you could get Cancer from exposing your skinny skin skin to the Sun's rays. :eek:

Gotta slather on that sunscreen, and while you're at it, put on the darkest sunglasses you can find, ones that wrap right around your eyes. Don't want to burn out yer eyes, right?

:confused: :rolleyes:

Then guy, don't blame us when you get some auto-immune disease because you're lacking in sufficient amounts of Vitamin D. Just don't, OK?

[farros]

I love the sun..

just got back from benidorm.

I refuse to wear sun block.

the secret to avoiding sunburn is to tease your body with sunlight.

so day 1 expose yourself for 1 hour under scorching heat.

day 2, 2 hours.

and so on.

sunlight is nourishment.

Hi there Sodi,
I just found a page on skin types and sun exposure:
http://reverseskinaging.com/sunlight3.html
and sensible suntanning:
http://reverseskinaging.com/sunlight4.html

This site presents an interesting (and seemingly well-referenced) theory that the effects of the sun on your skin are governed by what you eat, because this affects what nutrients and oils are present in your skin.

It's obviously a more complex topic than the medical/pharmaceutical crowd want us to believe.

Three theories (admittedly this is hearsay, I don't have access to the hard references so take it with a grain of salt):
1. one of the main culprits is ingesting too many trans fats or bad rancid oils - for example, margarine, canola oil, fried or heated oils - perhaps because these effectively interfere with the body's protective layer of saturated fat and kill the microbes under the skin that manufacture vitamin D - and not enough good oils such as olive, coconut or flax oil.
2. wearing sunglasses confuses the body into thinking there's no sunlight and does not secrete the chemicals that protect the skin from sunburn
3. being in the dark for too long (eg in an office) and SUDDENLY emerging into the sunlight is conducive to sunburn; in nature most animals would never do that, but would emerge slowly.

I haven't read all of the site above but it seems to have some articles on nutrition and sunburn. All the best!

There is a good vid on freeview documentaries about exposure to sun, its essential for vit d and how good diet and sense can help you stay in the sun longer and even use tanning booths without the need for creams.
Ill try to find it.

I avoid myself to exposure from the sun at the beach and elsewhere between the hours of 12 pm to 3 pm. These hours are when the sun is at its strongest and will cause the most damage from UV rays. Try to avoid the sun completely between those three hours. Your risks of sunburn will go down dramatically by avoiding the sun at this time.

If you do get burn cut a piece of a fresh aloe vera plant, and use the juice on the area where you got burn.

It dosen`t really matter where you burn yourself like when you make food in the kichen or under open fire, fresh aloe vera juice has an amazing and very fast healing power on your skin.

The hours 12 pm to 3 pm apply only to some parts of Europe, other place like Southen Europe etc with other timezone or weather other hours applys.

Medicinal uses

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloe_vera#Medicinal_uses

Scientific evidence for the cosmetic and therapeutic effectiveness of Aloe vera is limited and when present is frequently contradictory. Despite this, the cosmetic and alternative medicine industries regularly make claims regarding the soothing, moisturising and healing properties of Aloe vera, especially via Internet advertising. Aloe vera gel is used as an ingredient in commercially available lotion, yogurt, beverages and some desserts. Aloe vera juice is used for consumption and relief of digestive issues such as heartburn and irritable bowel syndrome. It is common practice for cosmetic companies to add sap or other derivatives from Aloe vera to products such as makeup, tissues, moisturizers, soaps, sunscreens, incense, razors and shampoos. Other uses for extracts of Aloe vera include the dilution of semen for the artificial fertilization of sheep, use as fresh food preservative, and use in water conservation in small farms.

Aloe vera has a long association with herbal medicine, although it is not known when its medical applications were first discovered. Early records of Aloe vera use appear in the Ebers Papyrus from 16th century BCE, in both Dioscorides' De Materia Medica and Pliny the Elder's Natural History written in the mid-first century CE along with the Juliana Anicia Codex produced in 512 CE. Aloe vera is non-toxic, with no known side effects, provided the aloin has been removed by processing. Taking Aloe vera that contains aloin in excess amounts has been associated with various side effects. However, the species is used widely in the traditional herbal medicine of China, Japan, Russia, South Africa, the United States, Jamaica and India.

Aloe vera is alleged to be effective in treatment of wounds. Evidence on the effects of Aloe vera sap on wound healing, however, is limited and contradictory. Some studies, for example, show that Aloe vera promotes the rates of healing, while in contrast, other studies show that wounds to which Aloe vera gel was applied were significantly slower to heal than those treated with conventional medical preparations. A more recent review (2007) concludes that the cumulative evidence supports the use of Aloe vera for the healing of first to second degree burns. In addition to topical use in wound or burn healing, internal intake of Aloe vera has been linked with improved blood glucose levels in diabetics, and with lower blood lipids in hyperlipidaemic patients, but also with acute hepatitis (liver disease). In other diseases, preliminary studies have suggested oral Aloe vera gel may reduce symptoms and inflammation in patients with ulcerative colitis. Compounds extracted from Aloe vera have been used as an immunostimulant that aids in fighting cancers in cats and dogs; however, this treatment has not been scientifically tested in humans. The injection of Aloe vera extracts to treat cancer has resulted in the deaths of several patients.

Topical application of Aloe vera may be effective for genital herpes and psoriasis. However, it is not effective for the prevention of radiation-induced injuries. Although anecdotally useful, it has not been proven to offer protection from sunburn or suntan. In a double-blind clinical trial the group using an Aloe vera containing dentifrice and the group using a fluoridated dentifrice both demonstrated a statistically significant reduction of gingivitis and plaque.

Aloe vera extracts have antibacterial and antifungal activities, which may help in the treatment of minor skin infections, such as boils and benign skin cysts. Aloe vera extracts have been shown to inhibit the growth of fungi that cause tinea; however, evidence for control beneath human skin remains to be established. For its anti-fungal properties, Aloe vera is used as a fish tank water conditioner. For bacteria, inner-leaf gel from Aloe vera was shown to inhibit growth of Streptococcus and Shigella species in vitro. In contrast, Aloe vera extracts failed to show antibiotic properties against Xanthomonas species.

Let's not forget the toxins in our bodies that make us more sensitive to sun.
Nothing is more important than sun light. Without it, you die.

Lack of sun causes cancer, heart attacks, depression.
It's a myth that the sun is dangerous. Rather it's the sun block lotion that contains chemicals that gives cancer.

[gods sun]

not only one who has this its called urticaria and is know to be caused by systematic yeast infections, its called candida and epidemic many doctors are ignoring i would get onto a candida diet fast as from experiance your guts are gonna take a bashing.

[aronia]

Thanks linda, im fully aware that my body contain a lot toxins, so a complete detox is needed. :)

Also to you gods sun, :) yes the systematic yeast infections candida has been on my mind for sometime. But i was not aware it has something do with i can`t stay out in the sun for much time maybe 30 min or an hour, also i get very quick tried of the very hot weather in the summer.

[beastcop156]

yeah, its not like I burn like a vampire. I just cant be under it for long time periods. At least there are spray on tans to cover my pasty self lol


Maybe try it in small doses. 15 minutes or 10 per day on sunny days?
I'm sensitive to the sun too but can build up a nice base.

Or do like I have this summer. Be proud of your paste white self!
I did try this lotion that was suppose to make my legs look naturally tan.
Big mistake. I turned them orange.

hmmm....burn like a vampire.
I'm proud of my vampire look then. Never thought of it that way.
LOL!

The Sun is a natural source of energy, for humans too!

Perhaps you are a vampire?

I love Aloe Vera. Ive been using it since I was little. If i ever get a sunburn or a cut i use it. Ive never eaten it though.

[creepingdave]

I really don't like to be in the sun...on a hot day. I can't stand the heat and sweat, anything more than 15 degrees is quite uncomfortable. A nice blue sunny sky on a winters day however is beautiful to be in. So for me its question of heat, not light. Never really liked the beach or hot countries (and i'm half Thai!).
