Why The Sun Does Not Cause Cancer
I've question the fact that the sun caused cancer as I know farmers who stay out in the sun all day long and don't get skin cancer. And while it used to be that we'd use "sun tan lotion" to protect ourselves from a bad sun burn, that seemed to change to cancer is caused by the sun.
Some one asked me if I knew of a sunscreen that didn't have toxic ingredients - I hadn't thought of that. In fact, after reading the ingredients, I started wondering it the cancer wasn't related to the use of sunscreen as opposed to the sun. And after all the sun is a best way to get Vitamin D and therefore healthy.
I found this article and it includes the toxicity of sunscreen, but also talks about diet and why it matters.

Walking 7,000 Steps a Day Reduces Risk of Premature Death in Middle-Age
Walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged people’s risk of premature death from all causes by 50% to 70%, compared to that of other middle-aged people who took fewer daily steps.
But walking more than 10,000 steps per day — or walking faster — did not further reduce the risk, notes lead author Amanda Paluch, a physical activity epidemiologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, highlight the evolving efforts to establish evidence-based guidelines for simple, accessible physical activity that benefits health and longevity, such as walking.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) Side Effects
We heard from a Mom who wanted people to know the effects this drug had on her daughters, here is her story:
"I have twin daughters who have been athletes on the varsity volleyball, basketball, swimming, and tennis teams of their high school since they were freshmen, starters in three of these sports and 2nd string in one.
Both are 17 and were given the antibiotic Levaquin and Prednisone in November, 2010, for sinus infections. Within ten days of initiating the Levaquin dosage, one of them experienced severe muscle and joint pain and the other less severe joint and muscle pain, both with severe fatigue, but no temperature.
They went back to the doctor (PCP) with the complaints of these symptoms, so flu and mono tests were administered and both came back negative. The doctor said that they were probably “false negatives”, so they were to stay home and rest and treat their symptoms as if they had the flu.
The rest of November the daughter with the most severe symptoms could barely hold a drill in her Stagecraft class and was chronically fatigued.
In February of 2011, they were both again prescribed Levaquin and Prednisone. Within 7 days of beginning the dosage, the daughter who had exhibited the most severe symptoms in November, began constant, intense full body tremors of the upper torso and tingling sensations that lasted for over 14 days. Even on a muscle relaxer the tremors never completely subsided. When we went back to her PCP, he said that she must be stressed about something and once the stress was over, the tremors would subside.
Both of my daughters have grown up dealing with stress. Playing in sports, they have learned how to make the game winning shot in the last 2 seconds or win a state championship in tennis. Likewise, they both maintain status in the Honor Society. The PCP’s diagnosis made no sense to either my daughter or me or her father. The PCP said that he didn’t think Levaquin could have caused the tremors or tingling, even though a neurologist friend of his suggested that it might. He did not tell my daughter or me for her to discontinue all use of any remaining pills. In the meantime, we were sent on a wild-goose-chase to find a cause – neurological? Maybe caused by her periods? If only I had looked at the Levaquin website and the effects back when everything had started!!!
Over spring break this same daughter thought her sinus infection had “come back” so she took two of the remaining Levaquin pills unbeknownst to me or her father. Her tremors came back. When I consulted a physician parent of my daughter’s friend, did I find out that Levaquin can, indeed cause all of the symptoms they had, but it could be the only causation of their numerous maladies. Upon taking her back to her PCP and confronting him with this information, he questioned my daughter and asked her why she had taken the Levaquin again. As it was pointed out to him, if they Levaquin could have caused the tremors and more, why wasn’t she (we) told to “discontinue all use” of it at the first report of symptoms, either in November, 2010 or February, 2011?
Please add Levaquin to your site as a cause of neuropathy and tremors.
She still has occasional tremors and tingling and the only thing that has helped is hyperbaric oxygen and specific vitamins that evidently this drug destroys in the nerves, a limited diet without breads, milk and meat, and lots of rest. The other daughter has had “twitching of muscles and burning Achilles heels, so she has had to quit sports, too."
Sincerely,
Paula

Lasting Relief:
None of the various neuropathy treatments will build healthy nerves. You can cover up the symptoms and you can increase circulation and you can make a person feel less pain, etc., but if you build healthy nerves, there will not be any symptoms (healthy nerves don't hurt, tingle, burn, are not numb, etc.) and the relief will be lasting.
Building Healthy Nerves*
Healthy sensory nerves mean that they are not painful. Healthy nerves means that they communicate and don't send wrong signals such as burning, hot and cold, tingling when there is no reason for it. Healthy motor nerves mean that they relay messages from the brain to the muscle so that they move correctly. Nerves need to be healthy to function properly.
The body needs specific nutrients (vitamins) to be able to build healthy nerves.
It may not give immediate relief (although many do feel changes in the first week) as the vitamins are working at a cellular level, but it does address the actual problem, builds healthy nerves and brings lasting relief.
(For temporary relief while building healthy nerves, go to Pain Relief Formula )
