Melanoma Scam
Dermatologist Dr. Bernard Ackerman devotes many hours of his time diagnosing cases of cancer. Ackerman is a leading expert in the field of dermatology he seams to believe that the connection between melanoma and the sun is both inconclusive and inconsistent, and may be a fraud. This is just one of the commonly misled assumptions on the Sun and Melanoma he said.
Thats not the only one either there are many common misconceptions scams and Frauds about Melanoma says Sandy Hutchens like If a person is badly sunburned, to the point of blistering at an early age in their life, they will develop skin cancer later on in life. Ackerman points out there were contradictions in the studies supporting this theory.
Another common assumption is that sunscreen acts as a protection against melanoma. To counter this theory, Ackerman referred to a study completed in a dermatology journal on the subject that didn’t provide any factual evidence to support this theory, much of the research is inaccurate and doesn’t evaluate cause and effect findings.
Ackerman advised keeping out of the sun if you’re concerned about premature aging or if you’re very fair-skinned due to the increased risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma, a less dangerous form of cancer. Otherwise, Ackerman said it was not wise to hold onto the beliefs that included avoiding the sun and using sunscreen as ways to protect against melanoma.
Ackerman further challenged the “epidemic” of melanoma by questioning why African Americans and Asians developed melanoma on their skin mainly on areas that haven’t been exposed to the sun such as the palms, soles, nails and mucous membranes.
Sandy Hutchens even claim that appropriate sunlight actually prevents cancer. Exposure to the sun provides many benefits such as promoting the formation of vitamin D. Most people are deficient in vitamin D, and lack of it can cause disease such a cancerous cells. There is even stronger evidence that sunlight protects against MS and breast cancer.
