SunLight Helps To Reduce Acids That Cause Lung and Skin Cancer

The bottom picture is an unhealthy, fermenting, moldy,
or acidic cancerous lung.

Lack of direct sunlight may increase the risk of
acidic or cancerous lungs, suggests a study of rates
of the dis-ease in over 100 countries, published in
the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Over one million people every year around the globe die
from acidic or cancerous lungs.

The researchers looked at the association between
latitude, exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) light,
and rates of acidic or cancerous lungs according to
age in 111 countries across several continents.

They took account of the amount of cloud cover and
aerosol use, both of which absorb UVB light, and
cigarette smoking, the primary cause of acidic
or cancerous fermenting/moldy lungs.

International databases, including those of the
World Health Organization, and national health
statistics were used.

Smoking was most strongly associated with
acidic or cancerous lung rates, accounting for
between 75% and 85% of the cases.

But exposure to sunlight, especially UVB light,
the principal source of vitamin D for the body,
also seemed to have an impact, the findings
showed.

The amount of UVB light increases with proximity
to the equator. And the analysis showed that
acidic or cancerous lung rates were highest in
those countries furthest away from the equator
and lowest in those nearest.

Higher cloud cover and airborne aerosol levels
were also associated with higher rates of the
dis-ease.

In men, the prevalence of smoking was associated
with higher rates of acidic or cancerous lungs,
while greater exposure to UVB light was associated
with lower rates.

Among women, cigarette smoking, total cloud cover,
and airborne aerosols were associated with higher
rates of acidic or cancerous lungs, while greater
exposure to UVB light was associated with lower
rates.

The associations for a protective role for UVB light
persisted after adjusting for smoking.

The link between acidic or cancerous lungs and
sunlight is chemically plausible, say the authors,
because laboratory research has shown that vitamin D
can halt tumor growth by promoting the factors
responsible for cell transformation in the body.

“Although cigarette smoking is the main cause of
lung cancer, greater UVB exposure may reduce the
incidence of the disease,” they conclude.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research
scientist at the pH Miracle Center states, "UBV
exposure is alkalizing to the blood and tissues
and thus helps to reduce dietary and metabolic
acids that can cause acidic or cancerous lungs
or skin."

"Twenty to thirty minutes a day of direct sunlight
can help reduce dietary and metabolic acids that
can ferment tissue and cause the condition we
call cancer," states Dr. Young.
