"Arthur Rhodes,4 a professor of dermatology at Rush Medical College. He states that the dermatology profession's message—that sunlight is the only cause of melanoma—is killing many people. He gives several examples of death that resulted due to that deadly misconception: 1. A dermatology trainee died of melanoma at age 28. He watched a mole change in his armpit for years, but because that area never received UV light, he assumed it was not melanoma and delayed seeking help. 2." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"One doctor at the NIH told me that the relationship between Accutane and depression "wasn't clinically relevant for dermatology." Based on my interactions with Roche, the manufacturer of Accutane, I did not get the feeling that it was encouraging doctors to research the Accutane and depression issue. As reported in USA Today (Kevin McCoy, December 7, 2004, "Drug Maker Rebuffed Call to Monitor Users"), scientists at Roche had written a report in 1999 in which they expressed the opinion that Accutane could cause depression." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"It is even likely that new subsections of august dermatology societies would form to discuss the breakthrough. Competing pharmaceutical firms would race to synthesize "me too" drugs that would pass muster at the fda at least in terms of convenience if not effectiveness. These firms would compete to underwrite educational programs for physicians and consumers. Advocacy organizations would seek to have the agents covered by Medicare. Parody? Hardly. We are already witness to one of the most effective and pervasive campaigns to medicalize aging: the assault on our aging skeleton." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"The American Academy of dermatology (ADA), which is largely funded through advertising sunscreen and skin care products, of course strongly condemned Dr. Berwick's research and called her a "number crunching scientist." I guess that's what scientists do, crunch numbers. Now back to what sunscreens can actually do to you. They may not only be responsible for melanomas, but for many other types of cancer and dysfunctions as well." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "The main reason the dermatology industry promotes sunscreen products is because it is heavily funded by sunscreen manufacturers. The pharmaceutical and medical industries never intended to cure diseases. Right from the beginning, it was their intention to make a lot of money by producing drugs and chemicals that would making up new diseases for which they would develop specific drugs and procedures to relieve symptoms but never really eliminate them." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Michael Holick,52 a vitamin D pioneer and professor of medicine, physiology, and dermatology at Boston University School of Medicine, recommends intakes of up to 2,000 IU a day,53 or enough to keep blood levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D at between 40 to 60 ng/ml. Lifeguards have levels of over 100 ng/ml without toxicity. So supplementation is essential unless we are spending all our time at the beach, eating thirty ounces of wild salmon a day, or downing ten tablespoons of cod liver oil a day!" - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"That's where sulfacetamide, or Klaron, comes into play in dermatology circles. It clears teenage and adult pimples by inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria, and it doesn't dry the skin, according to doctors. While it doesn't claim overnight success, results are usually apparent within two weeks. • Sweet-Smelling Astringents On Tea Tree Oil for Adult Acne a 'ver-the-counter benzoyl peroxide formulations may dry out pimples, but many acne sufferers, especially adults, find the formulas too drying for sensitive skin." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

A 40-year-old woman had a sore on the bottom of her heel, and believing only sunlight caused melanoma, she had no idea that it was melanoma. She died three years later. 3." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"One study in the Journal of the American Academy of dermatology investigated the relationship between diet and teenage acne and found a significant positive association between acne and milk (skim and whole). The researchers hypothesized that the association may be because of the "presence of hormones and bioactive molecules in milk." While no one is claiming that diet is the only cause of acne, no responsible nutritionist or health practitioner should deny the overwhelming evidence that a bad diet makes matters much worse." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"A 2001 study in the Journal of dermatology found that a cream containing vitamin B12 and avocado oil kept psoriasis outbreaks at bay longer when compared to a conventional vitamin D cream. Avocado and B12 creams are available without prescription. HIGH CHOLESTEROL: Patients with high cholesterol were placed on a diet high in avocado for seven days. These patients showed a significant decrease in total cholesterol, LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and triglycerides. These patients also showed a significant increase in HDL ("good") cholesterol." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"Dr Bernard Ackerman, after reviewing the literature and drawing on his own experience in dermatology, concluded that the connection is both inconclusive and inconsistent.^0 To illustrate, melanoma usually develops in skin that has not been exposed. Ackerman also questions the use of sun screens, and points out that sunburns do not necessarily lead to melanoma. He does advise avoiding excessive exposure to sun, however, to decrease aging of the skin. Unfortunately, the desire to avoid the sun to prevent the development of skin cancer is leading many people to become vitamin D-3 deficient." - Dr. Abram Hoffer, MD, FRCP (C) and Dr. Harold D.

"This is not a needed trick in oncology, cardiology or dermatology because the drugs in those areas of research are either genuinely effective or they are not. But without this trick, antidepressants and, to a lesser degree, antipsychotics, do not compare well with placebos. Psychiatrist and drug research authority Peter Breggin shared that "this is done in every study I have ever seen used for FDA approval of antidepressants."13 Trick Four: Break the Blind Another trick is almost the opposite of the placebo washout." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"When applied topically, it is possible that DHEA can increase collagen production and prevent collagen destruction by decreasing matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), but the research about this is extremely limited and the studies that do exist were done on only a handful of people (Sources: Drug Delivery, September-October 2005, pages 275-280; Journal of Endocrinology, November 2005, pages 169-196; Journal of Investigative dermatology, November 2005, pages 1053-1062, and February 2004, pages 315-323; Gynecological Endocrinology, December 2002, pages 431-441; www.fda. gov; and www.mayoclinic." - Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition (Get the book.)

"Dr John Murray, Professor of dermatology at Duke University, found that vitamin C decreased the intensity of the reaction to ultraviolet light. Subjects were pre-treated with a vitamin C solution or with placebo. The protective effect was immediate. The vitamin C was not a sunscreen, but it decreased the effect of ultra violet light by its antioxidant properties - that is, it wiped out some of the free radicals that were formed. The fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin E should also have protective properties." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"Conventional medicine, along with the dermatology industry, has convinced almost everyone that the sun is deadly. It's an amazing idea, really, since the sun is the one thing that is responsible for all life on this planet. Without the sun there would be no life whatsoever. There would be no plants, animals, or humans. Without the sun, there would be no liquid water, no rain, no petroleum products to power your cars, and the earth would be nothing but a lifeless chunk of ice and rock." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California, and assistant clinical professor of dermatology at UCLA.

"If you think all those hormones don't have any impact on your health, consider this: A study in the prestigious Journal of the American Academy of dermatology in February 2005 demonstrated a significant positive association between milk drinking and teenage acne. The researchers suggested that the most likely explanation was the presence of hormones and "bioactive molecules" in the milk.
