This is a huge subject that impacts our entire planet, including coral reefs and fish, our health and the development of the next and succeeding generations. I see that is imperative for the world to know the impact that sunscreen chemicals are having on all life.
The subjects range from:
General Background
Sun’s rays
Chemical and physical sunscreens
EDCs – endocrine disruptive chemicals
Sunscreens do not protect as promoted
Skin cancers and melanoma: increased steadily since sunscreen use
Planet Impact:
Ocean life depletion
Coral reefs die
chemical sunscreens Plankton die
ZnO nanoparticle sunscreens Fish reproduction harmed
intersex fish
stop spawning Bird reproduction harmed by EDCs
sex reversed birds
altered sexual behavior
Waters of the world contaminated
lakes and rivers full of sunscreens
Human Impact:
In 97% of American’s blood – including 90% who state never used sunscreens
Cross placenta into fetus disrupting development
Thyroid disruption
Disrupted neural, endocrine, and reproductive systems
Autism: fits like jig-saw puzzle pieces – dramatic increase parallels sunscreen use years In mother’s milk In household dust, breathing it Vitamin D deficiency epidemic around the world
GUEST BIO
Elizabeth Plourde, C.L.S., NCMP, Ph.D. N.A.M.S. Certified Menopause Practitioner Clinical Laboratory Scientist Science / Medial Researcher Health Coach Speaker Author
Elizabeth Plourde, a licensed Clinical Laboratory Scientist, with a Ph.D. in Psychology, has devoted the last 20 years to researching, writing, and educating women about achieving health through understanding their hormones and attaining hormonal balance.
Dr. Plourde’s training in the fields of both medicine and psychology is augmented by invaluable experience gained while working with cutting-edge medical research laboratories for over a decade, leading the path for her certification as a North American Menopause Society (NAMS) menopause practitioner (NCMP).
As a professor, she has taught at San Diego University for Integrative Studies, and Concordia University.
An Irvine, California resident for 30 years, Dr. Plourde has lectured and taught throughout the United States as well as internationally. Her expertise in the field of women’s health has resulted in appearances on ABC's 20/20, Berman & Berman: For Women Only, Good Morning America, The Gary Null Show, and numerous network news programs and radio shows across the country.
Her most recent book covers the biochemistry as to why the chemicals used in sunscreens not only promote the development of skin cancers, they also interfere with fetal development, which could be behind the increase in obesity and autism that are being seen in children; as well as the infertility, male reproductive disorders and testicular cancers that are increasing in many countries. In addition, they need to be removed from the environment because they are killing the coral reefs and plankton in the oceans.
