In the 1860's, the majority of the population lived on farms and nobody lived underneath electrical lights or behind automobile glass.
In the 1960's, the majority of the population lived in cities where chronic exposure to artificial, unbalanced lighting was widespread.
Skin cancers also became increasingly common as the population moved out of natural daylight. Is it possible that our modern light is actually carcinogenic?

The term "redneck" reflects that, and the vast majority of people avoided the sun. Then Twiggy popularized the bikini, George Hamilton got his first tan, we moved outdoors for everything from weddings to recreation, and some misguided people DELIBERATELY lay out in sun or in tanning booths because suddenly permanent skin damage was cool. Skin cancer soared.
Is it possible that uva rays, whatever the source, are carcinogenic, just as rock concerts and headphones are deafening our grandkids and fa(s)t food is killing us?

James Semmel - 12 Jul 2006 18:31 GMT Hello I.P.,
Keep in mind that during the late autumn to early spring months, the majority of the population bathes under electrical lights all day, every day. Many adults don't even see the light of day at all during this time.
Thanks for your comment,
james

And keep in mind that thousands spend some of that time in tanning booths or in the Caribbean, and millions sunbathe during the OTHER third of the year.
Maybe the culprit is ball point pens. Or color TV. Sitcoms. Monday Night football. Homogenized milk. DEET. Radial tire residue. Personal computers. Bikinis. Leonburger (a breed of dog developed in the mid-20th century) dander. Air conditioning. Woody Allen.
IF IT WERE INDOOR LIGHTING, EVERYBODY WOULD HAVE MELANOMA.

I see you're working out in the cancer groups as well as the Alzheimer's group.
I know you're a very good natured guy who will not be offended when I say to all who might be curious, James is a wonderfully nice guy who means well, but his medical theories truly define the word "crackpot".

James Semmel - 12 Jul 2006 18:44 GMT Hi Alan,
Good to hear from you again. I realize that my discoveries are far ahead of their time. (I usually strive for modesty, but this is a newsgroup after all!) However, bear in mind that just as the germ theory permitted many infectious diseases to be understood and resolved, so too will the shoe theory allow us to solve, once and for all, numerous degenerative diseases.
Prostate cancer is just one of the many human diseases that I claim results from the habitual use of footwear. Consider the facts: Prostate cancer is less common in Japan, a country with one of the oldest longevities, than in America; the Japanese remove modern shoes upon entering the home, some offices or restaurants, but we Americans wear shoes constantly from birth to death. Prostate cancer became increasingly common in the modern, manufactured shoe era. Prostate cancer becomes increasingly evident as a person's posture deteriorates into old age.
Could maintaining balanced posture throughout life thus ward off prostate cancer?

I DIDN'T WEAR SHOES EXCEPT IN SCHOOL OR THE DEAD OF WINTER UNTIL I WAS 8-10 YEARS OLD, I STILL GO BAREFOOT MUCH OF THE SUMMER, MY POSTURE IS STRAIGHT OUT OF MILITARY BASIC TRAINING, AND I GOT PROSTATE CANCER. PROSTATE CANCER BECAME INCREASINGLY COMMON(LY DIAGNOSED) WHEN THEY LEARNED THAT PC IS TREATABLE AND THUS WORTH MONITORING, AND STARTED PSA CHECKS IN THE MODERN ERA.
Go learn the distinction between cause & effect and simple coincidence.

James Semmel - 13 Jul 2006 15:29 GMT Hi there I.P.,
First off, most crippling of the feet takes place during the first couple of years, at a time when the growing infant's feet are literally plastic and so shapeable. Foot binding during infancy is the only way to get the adult feet to fit into modern shoes, which are machine-made for pre-deformed feet. So it's hard to say just how much damage was done before you began walking and eventually adopting a more sensible footwear habit, such as in the summer.
Secondly, the old-school "military style" method of posture training was faulty in that it hyperextends the lumbar spine, thus increasing the lordosis. Interestingly, when told to "stand up straight", most people immediately adopt this very posture and completely ignore the feet.
Thanks, james

Proper military posture flattens the lower back, reducing lordosis. The butt goes IN, not OUT.

James Semmel - 14 Jul 2006 15:13 GMT Hi I.P.,
The flaw in military style posture is that it does not make use of the deep postural muscles such as multifidus spinae, hence doing nothing to relieve the more exterior muscles.
It also does not address foot tension, which fundamentally inhibits the ability to stand straight, i.e., to lengthen the spine. Yet how many people, when told to stand up straight, think about their feet?
Thanks again for your comments, james
