Rep Power: 113 | And they say people only tan for cosmedic reasons..... I just had a really interesting client in here asking me questions about Vitamin D. He says he tans for the Vitamin D. His sister is a doctor and she told him that yes, UV is what produces Vitamin D and by all means, tan in the tanning bed if you are in Ohio in December! :) (She is a recent graduate). I was so happy to share my knowledge on the subject with someone who has actually done a little research himself. I suggested Dr Holik's book and he seemed really excited to read it. The whole conversation just made me feel really good and I had to share it with you :) This young man is only 26....

Rep Power: 21 | Re: And they say people only tan for cosmedic reasons..... That is great JM! I have many that tan for medical purposes. In fact I have one specific client that tans once a week to treat her autoimmune disorder and side effects of cancer and meds. She goes to some very reputable doctors and they all have recommended that she tan. I think this is great. There are doctors out there that are honest with their patients. I have another lady that has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and her doctor has sent her in to tan. |

Rep Power: 19 | Re: And they say people only tan for cosmedic reasons..... I've actually heard of that alot. I live in a very cold climate and the majority of my clients who are tanning right now are NOT tanning to get any color. They do it for the vitamin D and for that "uplifting" feeling. |
