 "Solar radiation exposure is also greater in black americans who have better survival rates for cancer.60 It is obvious that lack of sunlight is even more disastrous for blacks than for whites.
Dr. Edward Giovannucci and colleagues have recently completed an assessment of 48,700 men whose rates of cancer and cancer deaths were compared with their rates of vitamin D intake and their production of vitamin D by sunlight exposure.61 Those with the highest vitamin D levels as predicted by sunlight exposure had a greatly reduced risk of cancers compared to those with the lowest predicted D levels."- Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.) "Also, black americans, whose smoking habits are uniform throughout the country, have a lower rate of lung cancer in the southern states than northern states,63 and an investigation that assessed the risk of lung cancer in 111 countries demonstrated that risk decreased as sunlight availability increased.69 In addition, lung cancer patients who have the highest serum vitamin D levels have better survival rates than those who have low levels.71 Two research papers also indicate that vitamin D analogs (vitamin D-like chemicals) have an influence on lung cancer growth in a laboratory setting." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.) "This would be especially true in winter in the northern USA. black americans in that region have serum levels of vitamin D that are only half that of white Americans." What is needed is a national health priority to educate dark-skinned populations to increase vitamin D levels for good health. Could it be, for example, that the generally high level of poor health among blacks and Hispanics (heart disease, diabetes, prostate and breast cancer, etc.) is primarily due to vitamin D deficiency? In later chapters, you will see that the answer is "yes!" - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.) "William Grant, in summarizing the findings of his study on African Americans and cancer, wrote that "Solar UVB was found significantly inversely correlated with mortality rates for breast, colon, esophageal, gastric and rectal cancers for black americans."5 Other research in 2008 corroborated his findings, showing that in the Southeast USA, vitamin D deficiency is about four times more common in African Americans as whites, and suggesting that the greater cancer risks among African Americans is due to that deficiency.7 6. Heart disease is twice as prevalent among black men as white men." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.) |
 "It may seem demand for equality and civil rights dawned with the 1960s Civil Rights protests on behalf of black americans. Actually, the fight for equality and respect has always been a quest in human existence. Whenever one people subjugated another, or whenever one segment of a society held itself above another, there has been strife. But as this new day arrives, we have for the first time manifested a world in which everyone is valued equally and has equal rights and equal opportunities."- Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.) |

Questions to ask your doctor
The American Cancer Society (ACS) says the death rate from prostate cancer is at an all-time low for both white and black americans — and a new study suggests that a primary reason may be increased use of the PSA blood test to find prostate cancer early. Prostate cancer incidence rates rose from 1986 - when the PSA test was approved -through 1991, with African-American trends mirroring rates for white men a year or so later. Then after 1991, death rates for white and black men began to drop sharply."- Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.) |
 "The book also addresses the epidemic vitamin and mineral deficiency in the United States and explains why black americans suffer from the highest disease and mortality rates due to these deficiencies. The book is available at www.eureamerica. net. Highly recommended.
What People Are Saying
In October 1996 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy. In October of that year I started following Robert Barefoot's calcium regime. In July 1997 I had another prostate biopsy in which no evidence of malignancy was found."- Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.) |
 "Today we know that the gene pool of black americans is more similar to that of white Americans than to that of blacks in many different parts of Africa or the Caribbean.42 But in those days, thinking about skin color and genes was guided by simplistic notions.
A second complication was that while life is a mixture for all of us, it was especially so for coke oven workers. Their exposures were hardly limited to simple solitary agents but involved complex mists, fumes and chemicals."- Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.) |
 "When divided along racial and ethnic lines, non-Hispanic black americans have the highest prevalence at 38.8 percent, while Mexican-Americans registered 28.7 percent, and non-Hispanic whites 27.2 percent. This study, reported in the journal Hypertension, did not examine potential reasons for these differences. However, investigators did cite the aging of the U.S. population and the growing proportion of overweight and obese Americans as potential contributors."- Phyllis A.

 "If the idea of economic assistance to black americans shared by some African regimes could be realized by their placing orders in the United States mainly with companies owned by blacks, they could gain a limited influence on the U.S. black community.
In the above context, we must envisage the possibility, however remote, that black americans interested in African affairs may refocus their attention on the Arab-Israeli conflict."- Boyd E. Graves, State Origin: The Evidence of the Laboratory Birth of AIDS (Get the book.) |
