Dr. Richard Weller, “enlightened” dermatologist, continues to dispel the myths regarding sunlight exposure. He and his colleague, Dr. Wright, recently published a paper that promotes sunlight for older people.[i] In it, they make several important points:
It is refreshing to follow Dr. Weller’s scientific papers, since he is a dermatologist that has not succumbed to the mantras of the various anti-sun organizations. He tells the truth, and that truth will help to set free the populace that labors under the falsehoods perpetrated by the sunscare industry. Elderly people need so desperately to sunbathe regularly to benefit their health. I know this, because my wife and I conduct church meetings for the residents of an assisted-care facility. My heart bleeds to know that the suffering they are undergoing need never have happened if they had done two things: (1) engaged in regular sun exposure during their lifetimes and (2) practiced good nutrition. In my opinion, most of them would never have been admitted to the facility in the first place had they known and practiced these two guidelines.
