If the sun doesn't cause melanoma, what does? Here's a hint... |

We are told over and over that the dangerous skin cancer melanoma is
caused by too much sun exposure. But I have reported to you before the
evidence against this. And common sense points to the conclusion. That's
because most cases of melanoma happen to parts of the skin that rarely
get any sun. One example is melanoma on the base of the foot. So if sun
is not causing these cases, what is? A new study looked at the answer to
this question.

The researchers looked at 54 men and 69 women who had developed
melanomas on the bottoms of their feet. Their average age was 73.5
years. Then the researchers plotted out where the cancers were on the
feet. The results are interesting: 40% of the cancers were on the rear
of the foot; 26% were in the front of the foot; 11% were in the midfoot;
and only 2.4% were in the arch. The authors noted that the likelihood
of developing a melanoma on the bottom of the foot was directly related
to how much pressure was placed on that part of the foot. This happens
to be the same thing we see when looking at where diabetics get their
foot ulcers.

Beyond Resveratrol:
Resveratrol is the substance found in grapes that protects your heart
and entire body. As good as resveratrol is, we now know there are other
polyphenols that amplify what resveratrol does. And when you take them
together with resveratrol, the combination works even better.

Here's what the authors of the study had to say. “Although trauma and
other factors increase the risk of melanoma in regions of the skin that
are not exposed to the sun, we found that the conditions of the rear of
the foot and front of the foot were more conducive to the development of
melanomas than other areas of the plantar surface [bottom of the foot].
Mechanical stress such as plantar pressure and shear stress is higher
in these two areas than in other areas of the foot, and this stress is
associated with the development of skin ulcers in persons with diabetes
and with the development of calluses. Taken together with these
observations, our results suggest that mechanical stress also increases
the formation of melanomas on the plantar surface.”

So I guess the best way to avoid melanomas on your feet is to spend the
rest of your life in bed. Or how about walking on your hands? Oh, no,
that won't work. You'd just get melanomas on the hands instead. So what
to do?

Let me suggest this. I have reported to you in the past that there are
more than a few studies that show that statistically the biggest single
risk for melanoma is the standard American diet. The authors of the
above study refer to this as one of the “other factors.” So let me
suggest that you avoid the “standard” diet and eat a diet low in
processed foods, high in fiber and protein, and low in sugars and simple
carbohydrates. And just to be on the safe side, take a scoop of my Super Immune QuickStart powder every day. It's full of the special herbs and nutrients that support your body's ability to avoid cancer altogether.
