The WHO is corrupted and owned by global elites.

You look good doctor

here in australia skin cancer caused by the sun is a real problem. yes sunlight causes cancer. everytime you sunbathe you increase your chances of getting melanoma. just because sunlight is natural doesn't mean that overexposure isn't harmfull. is the good doctor getting kickbacks from taning bed manufacturers?

@Controvox That's funny, never seen a model with a tan before. They all have fair skin. I think that is normal.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

It's about time medical professionals start exposing these sun-scare studies for what they really are, money making cash cows for the cosmetic companies selling SPF's. UV is essential to life on Earth, it grows our food, lights everything up, and causes our bodies to produce a critical Vitamin to human health (Vitamin D). Our bodies have evolved to make use of this wonderful life giving ray. So enjoy the summer and enjoy the sun!

Bravo Doctor, bravo.

Your an awsome doctor. Raw milk, All other Intakes, And vitamin d by UV. This doctor is the real deal. I have followed this DOCS diet and I feel like I am 16 years old, Not to mention I get hit on by the same age group and I am 32. I feel great look like a porno star and its all cause of this doctors recommendations.

@Controvox YESSS!!

@Controvox AMEN.

I love how the government demonizes tanning beds like they are the #1 cause of cancer in America, yet the full-body scanners in airports which can take high-resolution photos of peoples' skin when they are clothed, are passed off as an "extra safety precaution" :D

[Controvox]

@sincityfire If we were "normal", we would be getting sunlight all day, since there would be no such thing as the indoors. Our bodies are not designed to be inside dark/artificially lit rooms during the daytime. I am not against establishment, but what I am saying is that tan skin is really what I consider its "normal" color.

Actually, most any cosmetic products & the like you buy off the usual store shelves are very harmful. As stated in the video, anything applied to your skin is absorbed into your body. If your seriously interested, grab a couple of your cosmetic products and go down the ingredients list researching the names and their known effects. Many products generally use a lot of the same chemicals. Very many being known carcinogens. This knowledge will certainly make you question the FDA.
