Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / June 2005Article: Sunlight Lowers Prostate Cancer Risk.
According to this we did not sun bathe enough. http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/20050615/hl_hsn/sunlightlowersprostatecancerrisk Then there are those of us who have PCa AND have had at least one sun-caused pre-cancerous or cancerous growth removed from our skin. The study that came out about two months ago recommended a 15-minute daily sun exposure. It concluded there is a correlation between the latitude at which men lived and the incidence of PCa... which closely resembles inverse data for skin cancer. At least 50 years ago, Bosco (a vitamin-fortified chocolate milk flavoring) advertised it contained "sunshine vitamin D." I don't understand why, in all this time, has there been no study (that I've been able to find) to determine just which of the sun's rays are beneficial to our manufacture of vitamin D. If it's the ultraviolet, we could just fire-up the old sun lamp for a minute or two. In fact, we can reproduce most of the sun's rays, and we'd be able to zap ourselves with whichever one it is, regardless of where we live. I can see it now... in every 7-11 there would be a "Zappadee" machine. A quarter a pop. Are you reading this Mr. Science? There's MONEY to be had!! (That oughta get them started.) > Then there are those of us who have PCa AND have had at least one > sun-caused pre-cancerous or cancerous growth removed from our skin.

I've never understood the debate about sunlight and vitamin D. Yes, too much sunlight is dangerous. Yes, too little vitamin D is dangerous. So why not stay out of the sun and take vitamin D3 supplements? Ed Friedman I don't know about studies, but I am informed that the only fur-bearing animal on this planet that cannot be eaten in its entirety is a polar bear. You can eat it, but its liver has toxic levels of Vit D.

Maybe I am the exception to the rule.I had malignant melinoma about three years before PC.I had lymph removal surgery for the MM and I am either cured or in remission.That was over 10 years ago. I had radiation followed by seeding around three years ago and so far have less than .1 PSA.Lucky I guess! Steve Kramer, I think I read somewhere that the problem with polar bear liver is that it contains toxic amounts of vitaminA. Sun exposure makes vitaminA poisoning worse. It was discovered when some explorers got desperate, ate polar bear liver during the polar 24 hr day. I think they got sick, sunburned and has visual trouble. Vitamins A,D,E, and K are fat soluble, and it is possible to overdose on them. Sun exposure can actually produce Vitamin D in the skin. Steve U Ha! You're probably right. I used to have such a good brain before Lupron. I wonder if I'll ever get it back.

A pound of polar bear liver will deliver about 18,000,000 IU to your diet - a very lethal dose! > Ha! You're probably right. I used to have such a good brain before > Lupron. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> actually produce Vitamin D in the skin. >> Steve U My uro just prescribed 400 IU of Vit D and "get some sun".
