More Derms Should Pay Attention

From another forum. I C&P this from a very long articale. I never considered this but I wonder how the Derms will react. Sounds like a good theory for a landslide of malpractice law suits for those Derms.

What will happen to dermatologists who promulgate sunphobia without taking steps to ensure that advice does not induce vitamin D deficiency in their patients? Dermatologists in England have already provided the expert opinion needed in a court of law. After reviewing the role vitamin D plays in cancer prevention, including prevention of malignant melanoma, they concluded: “It would seem mandatory to ensure an adequate vitamin D3 status if sun exposure were seriously curtailed, certainly in relation to carcinoma of breast, prostate and colon and probably also malignant melanoma.”

Re: More Derms Should Pay Attention

Very, very interesting way of looking at it. On occasion i get bummed and feel like it's such an up hill battle. I mean all the billions of dollars to promote their selfish concerns.........they can pretty much "pay for anything" It's scary, but true....the pharm. industry is the most profitable industry in the world !

Then i get fired up again and keep educating.......eventually our point wiil be made and our voices heard by the masses. I would love to see a Dr. Holick appear on Larry King ...........although he's a little scary to look at huh ?

Re: More Derms Should Pay Attention

Interesting. I saw a site the other day that says "84% of your customers think indoor tanning causes cancer, its your job to change that." Or something along those lines....

Re: More Derms Should Pay Attention

It is frustrating, all we do is educate, educate, educate. And i'd say the majority of even our best clients think " look i know this is bad for me but........"
It just goes to shoh how powerful the pharm. industry is in this country. You know, ok to put the chemical on your skin, hair etc. but something you can't live w/o...........kills ya. We gotta get Holick out there more. But maybe tan him up a little first. How do ya think he'd do in the Viper........?

What's next......condoms w/ sunscreen????

Re: More Derms Should Pay Attention

The thing is is that the docs know what they are doing is wrong, but if they make it "right" with the public and admit that they have been "wrong" all of these years they will be loosing a lot of money. It is all about the allmighty dollar. I should know, I use to be one of them that was way.

Re: More Derms Should Pay Attention

Based on what I posted, it occured to me that perhaps this explains why Derms are now focusing their anti tan retoric on "The Children" and less on adults. I've noticed a shift in how they are talking lately. Curious!

I don't think I would worry too much about that though. Look at the number of youths that smoke, even with all the anti smoking ads. It seems that if the young person thinks it makes them look better (whether holding a smoldering weed or a tanned complexion (sp?)), they will probably ignore any health warning.
