Is skin cancer just a modern cancer

[NOHARD]

Is skin cancer just a modern cancer? I just love to be out in the sun and never try to use any protection apart from some olive oil, why as a young child my Uncle and Aunt never used any sunscreens and we just followed suit with them, why my Uncle was a Japanese prisner of war, worked out in the hot sun never any protection and as a child always out in the sun it was the way he and my Aunt was brought up, again never any protection, then this was before the second world war.
We now have reports of sunscreens being the problem and could be causing the cancers, we are being told that if men want there sperms to work harder then sunbath without sunscreens is best, and if we need to get rid of SAD then again its best to be out in the sun to increase our vitmin D without sunscreens.
An article I read some time ago stated that if as young children, getting sunburnt was a way of protecting yourselfs from skin cancers as we grow older.
So back to the question, is skin cancer just a modern cancer, and do we now just need to got back to the old ways, and let our body do there own repair work, which scientists know works.

Hi ChitChatNine
OK one of the reasons I posed this question here, it seemed a good place to put it.
Does anybody know just how many of the men coming back from the East Asia war zone after the 2WW the ones who were prisners, suffered from skin cancer, because as we know they spent many hours working out in the sun with no protection, then if the answer is low, then its modern sun protection thats the problem,
For me I live in Greece, I'm out in the sun most days and start getting a tan from March onwards, so I self protect with a slow start up and its only on very hot days that I us some organic olive oil as a protection, mainly to stop my skin drying out, I also live a natuist life style, so for me its flip flaps and a sun hat, and have no worries or skin problems.

Hi,  Interesting, rhetorical question you pose.   You should put it into a journal and blog about it here on MedHelp and see what others think, too ~!

Personally, I do believe in the sunscreen / lack of Vit D correlation.  I think by lathering up we are protecting ourselves from skin cancer, but creating another monster less well-known but can be pretty dangerous if very low levels prevail for long periods of time.

Great post . hope others stop by!
