Treating and preventing cancer

OK, this is the first day when it has actually felt like Fall here in North Carolina. We finally got some rain (the last day we got an inch of rain or more was on June 3rd!) and now the leaves are falling. And it's actually quite nice looking outside. We've grown tired of the dusty feel in the air. That's gone now.

So why am I discussing this when the title of today's entry is about cancer? Because we're entering the season when folks don't get enough sun. Summer's the one time when people are most inclined to get some stuff. Some never get enough sun: they've been told to -- as one Australian told me, "slip on a t shirt, slop on sunscreen, and slap on a hat." But most of you know that I take the opposite tack: I think you probably need more sun. And the darker your skin is naturally, the more sun you need. And when it's winter in the northern hemisphere, you almost certainly won't get enough sun naturally from September to April or May. But here is some important information from Dr. Mercola on sun, health, cancer, and you.
