We've spent the past few decades preaching about how important it is to stay out of the sun. We've realized precisely how real a risk skin cancer can be and are doing every little thing we can think of to prevent it from happening. We don countless layers of the highest SPF sunscreens that we can buy. We have on massive floppy hats. We wear long pants and sleeves even during the hottest months of the year. We try to stick to the shady areas-some individuals have even taken to carrying parasols around with them to keep the sun from ever making contact with their skin. Now we're learning that the sun's rays can sometimes be beneficial! Can you actually be helped by the sun's rays?
A new study has been completed and it shows that people who allow some time in direct sunlight aren't as likely to get MS as the people who do everything they can to keep out of the sun. The study was actually performed to find out how Vitamin D affects the progression of Multiple Sclerosis. It rapidly became clear, though, that the Vitamin D made in our bodies as a reaction to sunshine is what is really at the root of things.
It has been acknowledged for a long time that the sunlight and Vitamin D can be used to hinder the abnormal immune system workings that are thought to contribute to MS. This specific study, though, is targeted on how sunshine affects the people who are starting to experience the very earliest of MS symptoms. This study is trying to figure out the effects of Vitamin D in addition to sunlight on the precursory signs and symptoms of the disease.
Unfortunately, there are not all that many methods of really quantify the study's theory. The study really wants to indicate whether or not exposure to the sun can actually prevent MS. Unfortunately, the investigators discovered, the only way to that is to observe people over the course of their lives. This is just about the only way to seriously assess the levels of Vitamin D that are already present in a person's blood before the precursors to MS start to become apparent. As it appears today, people with regular sun exposure seem to have fewer MS symptoms, particularly in the beginning, than those who live in darker and colder climates-but this was already widely known.
The fact that the danger of getting skin cancer goes up proportionally to the amount of time you spend in direct sunlight (without protection) is also a problem. So, if you make an effort to stop one disease, there's a chance you're helping to induce the other one. Of course, if you ever get skin cancer early on enough you are far more likely to cure it. MS even now has no cure.
So what should you do: chance skin cancer or chance MS? Talk to the doctor to figure out if this is an excellent strategy. Your health care provider will determine if you are at risk for the disease (and how much) by checking out your genetics, medical history and current health. This will help a family doctor determine exactly what the best thing for you to do is.
