@tetefourtyniners Melanin (the form relavent to this discussion, there are several) is a derivative of an AA produced in response to DNA DAMAGE in an effort to protect against FURTHER DNA damage. It is not an "immunity system" in itself. Can aspirin cure a headache? Depends on the cause of the headache. Can VitD levels be maintained in a tanning bed? Yes, but are there much smarter, safer ways that do not include dramatically increasing one's risk of contracting skin cancer? Absofreakinglutely!
@tetefourtyniners Nobody is saying say out of the sun period, derms are saying be sensible in the sun and avoid cancer coffins. And yes your doctor/ nurse is the person best equipped to advise you on how long it is safe to stay under the sun and in what conditions.
And take an immunology class before you go spouting off about the immune system. And no, the bs online diplomas they hand out in the tanning industry aren't worth anything.

When it comes to your healthcare, get your advice from your doctors not unqualified people in the tanning industry, most of who have no background in even the most basic science and aren't even remotely qualified to interpret an article in a scientific journal.
