If you’ve bought sunscreen lately, you may have noticed that 70 is the new 15.
We used to feel safe with sunscreen labeled SPF 15. We thought “sun protection factor” 15 meant we could stay in the sun 15 times longer than we could with no sunscreen at all.
We were wrong.
SPF numbers have less to do with time in the sun and more to do with the amount of harmful ultraviolet light making its way to your skin, according to the Food and Drug Administration. And now that SPF numbers are breaking into the triple digits — a handful of products boast a sun protection factor of 100 — the lowly SPF 15 sounds like a sunburn waiting to happen.
So what gives?
“Buying a sunscreen with a high SPF is not as important as using enough sunscreen, getting it on all the places and reapplying when you need to,” saysDennis Hughes, a pediatric oncologist at the Children’s Cancer Hospital at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. “People also forget that sunscreen doesn’t start working the minute you apply it. It takes up to 30 minutes. You should be applying it before you go outside.”
A hat is a good idea, particularly for men with thinning hair, Hughes says. And people with short hair must remember to put lotion on the tops of their ears, a vulnerable spot for sunburns and skin cancer.
Factoring for SPF
Many of Hughes’ patients are young people who have been diagnosed with melanoma, a skin cancer usually caused by too much exposure to the sun. Hughes teaches families good skin-care habits and fields plenty of questions about SPF numbers along the way.[image1_left]
“When people bring up SPF 70, the joke I make is that at a certain point you can just use latex paint — that way you’ll know when it washes off,” Hughes says. “Is 70 different from 45? In a lab, absolutely. But if you look at the Web sites maintained by organizations that care about this, like the American Academy of Dermatologists, they never talk about anything higher than 15. Once you’re above 15, you’re blocking a big fraction of the sun’s rays.”
SPF numbers are often misinterpreted. If you feel like doing the math, Hughes says, think of the SPF number as X times more coverage than no sunscreen at all. To figure out the percentage of harmful rays that SPF 15 absorbs, he says, divide 14 by 15. For SPF 30, divide 29 by 30. And so on.
You’ll discover that SPF 15 blocks about 93 percent of the UVB (ultraviolet B) rays that cause sunburns. SPF 30 absorbs nearly 97 percent of those same rays. SPF 50, 98 percent. By the time you get to SPF 70 or 100, the difference in absorption is quite small.
Hughes recommends SPF 30 for people with sun-sensitive skin. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends at least SPF 15.
Thin skin
For the extra-sensitive areas around the eyes, where the skin is thin and particularly prone to sunburn and wrinkling, people may want to increase their protection, dermatologists say.
Try applying a lip balm with SPF around the eyes, says Carol Drucker, an associate professor in M.D. Anderson’s dermatology department. The waxy texture stays in place and does not bleed into this sensitive area.
Another option: Apply a good mineral-based sunscreen around the eyes since chemical-based sunscreens can cause irritation, says Susan Chon, another assistant professor in M.D. Anderson’s dermatology department.
The effectiveness of any sunscreen depends on individual factors, including how much sunscreen someone uses, the time of day when a person is exposed to the sun, the time of year and how much a person sweats.
Neutrogena, which has introduced products with SPFs of 85, 90 and 100+, claims that most people apply less than the dermatologist-recommended 1 ounce of sunscreen to exposed areas of their bodies. (An ounce, by the way, is enough to fill a shot glass.) Under application can result in far less coverage than the SPF promises. Even with a high SPF, Neutrogena recommends reapplying sunscreen every two hours.

More and more drug rehab facilities are including holistic treatment programs as part of their planned recovery process. These programs are designed to help the individual enrich their mind, body and soul while learning how to overcome the psychological and physical addiction to drugs.
Holistic care can be anything from Ancient Eastern practices that have helped millions of people achieve wellness over the past several centuries, or modern exercise and dietary plans that build immunity and help strength the physical health of the individual.
What follows are some of the most common holistic practices (that fall under these definitions) currently being used in drug rehab programs around the United States and the rest of thee world.
Common Holistic Elements Found in Drug Rehab
Yoga. Yoga can help enhance the drug rehab process by providing individuals with a chance to achieve greater focus and balance during treatment. This is especially important given that most people see their lives thrown into chaos as a result of drug addiction, or the attempt to quit using.
Meditation. Like Yoga, the elements of meditation lend themselves well to the recovery process. By having a set time each day to relax and focus energy inward, the individual is able to remove much of the noise and distractions that can keep them from achieving success in the drug rehab program.
Acupuncture. Many drug rehab programs use acupuncture to help pinpoint the specific locations around the body that control impulse control and other brain functions associated with drug addiction. By understanding these areas, the acupuncturist and the counselor are able to work together to provide more customized treatment.
Nutritional Counseling.Proper nutrition plays a vital role in the drug rehab process. For one thing, individuals have likely sacrificed proper eating habits in the name of their drug addiction, leaving their body in an unbalanced state as a result. Also, good eating habits are just that – good habits. In the transition from addict to recovering addict the individual must replace bad habits with positive ones – and eating fits that bill.
Exercise programs. When an individual is physically fit, they will be in a better position to get through drug rehab. The process can be taxing, both emotionally and physically, so a workout regimen is the best way to build strength and resolve during the process. And like nutritional programs, exercise is a positive habit that can be used to replace a negative one.
How Holistic Treatment is Incorporated into Drug Rehab
Drug rehab facilities incorporate their holistic care in different ways. For some addiction treatment facilities, the entire process revolves around the holistic programs listed above. Much more common, however, is a hybrid of traditional rehab modalities and holistic care. These types of programs may have the individual attending counseling in the morning, then moving on to yoga, walking or meditation in the afternoon. Together, this provides a multi-tiered effort that impacts the mind, body and soul of the individual.
As much as anywhere in the United States, Florida history is checkered by close ties to the world of illicit drugs. The coastal location of the state has made it an entry point for drug suppliers plying their trade in the rest of the country. This well-known drug culture has left in its wake thousands of addicts. And for those who have been lucky enough to get help for their condition, Florida drug rehab programs have literally been the difference between life and death.
What goes on During Drug Rehab?
The drug rehab process can seem scary or intimidating to the uninformed. But what everyone needs to know about drug rehab is that the process is all about providing care and support for the individual – giving them the tools they need to get clean and stay that way.
There are three basic elements which can be found in almost every drug rehab program: detox, counseling and aftercare.
Detox. Detoxification is the crucial first step in the recovery process. During drug detox the individual gives the toxins found in the drugs themselves a chance to leave the body. This helps the individual overcome their physical addiction to the substance and paves the way for the remainder of treatment.
Counseling. Every drug rehab program in Florida, or around the country, features individual and group counseling sessions. These meetings are a chance for the individual to open up to their caregivers about their lives and what caused them to become addicted to drugs in the first place. Counselors then help map out customized strategies to get the individual to think differently about their actions and move forward with a healthier lifestyle. In group counseling, the individual gains support from other recovering addicts – as they share stories and provide solutions for one another.
Aftercare. After obtaining the tools needed to stay clean, aftercare helps the individuals learn how to use them in the “real world” outside of rehab. Through follow-up counseling and 12-step programs, aftercare helps the individual stay the course of their recovery - and learn how to make better decisions about drug use moving forward.
Where can Florida Drug Rehab be Found?
There are now drug rehabilitation programs in almost any mid-to-large sized city in the state. There are, however, several communities which play host to more facilities than any other. These include:
Miami
Tampa Bay
Tallahassee
Ft. Lauderdale
Jacksonville
Areas surrounding Miami and Ft. Lauderdale are home to more residential treatment facilities than anywhere else in Florida. These areas are preferred by residential treatment because of their bucolic settings. As the theory goes, the more isolated the Florida location of the treatment facility, the more the individual will be able to focus solely on their recovery.
In a state with such a diverse population, both in terms of race and socio-economic background, Florida faces a variety of different drug addiction issues. From the crystal meth labs found in the Everglades to the cocaine addiction problems of high-end Miami, Florida is truly a state that benefits from its drug rehab programs.
Stallone is crazy, he is over 60 and working out like that. How come. Schwarzi is almost dead, but Stallone is still working out. Stallone what is your secret, hormones? It is orking I guess. Cool dude!!!
What is going on, I know my father is almost dead and is 65. Stallone you are my hero.
This is so amazing, I never knew this is possible. This is so huge I can't describe it!!!! I was just shopping in health food store for some vegan stuff and I just came across this amazing Ecover products. I am not plugging the site for money, I am plugging it out of my heart. Ecover products are like another level. FIrst I tried washing liquid for kitchen stuff, and it worked so amazing, the dishes are so clean, the solution is so powerful, more than a regular chemical stuff you can buy in very store. With regular stuff you get so much bubbles, you can hardly wash it off dishes after you are done with cleaning. But this stuff rocks. It smells so nice, it foams a little, but not too much and you just put one squirt on a sponge.
It cleans dishes so quick and easy. I was really amazed. AND IT IS NATURAL 100 % BIODEGRADEABLE. I just wanted to do something for the earth sake for so long time, but I did not know that the solutions like that even exist. Ecover is the only company i tried so far and I fell in live with it. After 1 week I went back to the shop and bought liquid for washing clothes. It removed all the stains on my white shirt, that the regular liquid could not clean. IT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
And it is much friendlier for the skin, because it is made out of natural ingredients. Can you believe that?
I am really happy, I am happy and mother earth is happy. I think all people should start using this stuff, it is not some crappy product, it is an awesome product line, biodegradable and made out of natural ingredients.
Here are the ingredients of the 2 products that I just bought:
Non Bio Laundry Liquid 1,5L

A lot of people don't see the thruth. Our grandparents had like super teeth. I know my grandmothe for example always had a full set of teeth till her 60 yedar, she might have some golden teeth but still she had them. And if you remember most of the actors they had nice teeth also. But today most of the population has hotrrible teeth, I am not saying teeth with cavities, I am saying teeth that are broken down, grinded away.
I remember when I was in high school all my classmates had beautiful teeth. There were some exceptions but that was because of their bad hygene. But today youngsters are having veneers. All the actors have venerss it s because our teeth are not like they used to be. In the past they lasted lie 60 years on average. Not they last like 20 - 30 years and after theat people get them capped or something, or they have holes in their smiles.
Let me just give you some examples
Here you can see Bowies teeth and cleary you can see how durable his teeth were. He got like caps in his 50s i think. Till then his teeth were firm and strong. He had some caries and yelowness but still his teeth were really strong even though he smoked like 50 cigaretes per day.
What I want to say that we are taking the toll of all these low and high frequency fields. It is happening. Even kids in highschool are getting veneers already. That never happened before. Children in the 80s had beutiful teeth on average. My father had perfect set of teeth till his 60s. He never needed caps, veneers or something else.
I just want to say that on average all the people in the 80s had much better teeth compared with the people in 2000 and being the same age.
First problem started with CRT monitors that emitted strong electromagnetic fields. It slowly destroyed our teeth. I can confirm that by myself. People who were liek hours in front of CT monitors were getting glasses, their teeth were slowly destroying, had problems with hands.
People with LCD monitors today dont have problems with eyes, headaches .....
I am working behind LCD monitor 16 hours per day and never get headache, my eyesight is good I dont feel my teeth are affected.
But I never could use that damn CRT monitors. Not even for 1 hour, my eyes hurt, I got headaches, my eyesight was blurry and my teeth were slowly destroying. I could feel that my teeth were affected by emmisions from CRT monitors if I worked behind CRT monitor. They hurt, were sensitive and slowly they enamel was grinding away where they come into contact with other teeth.
People jsut did not know about this horrible stuff. They gave us these horrible CRT monitors that messed up our health.
Look at kids today, they already have caps at 20 years of age. People usually have misiing teeth in their mouth.
THat was not a case in 80s or before. People had strong teeth usually, of course there were still people with bad teeth but on average people had much better teeth.
Today even kids get their teeth capped.
WE ARE FEELING THE EFFECTS OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY ALREADY. CRT AND NOW WIRELESS. We will definately feel effects in few years most probably. Too bad!!
Lately I am watching so much videos on youtube about MMS, that is jsut basically a chlorine dioxide that is used in mouthwashes for over 10 years. Now it is said it is a miracle drug and everything. I think this is just a big BS, it might help but not so much as they claim. Come one, curing cancer, AIDS, why there are no vidoes on youtube of people cured by MMS. And I hate this name MMS, are you joking me. That old guy Jim that said he invented the solution, he is selling an ebook for 20 bucks. And all he talks about are the cures performed in Africa, and you know how these labs can be biased. I think it is all about the money. He says he cured thousands of people with chlorine dioxide.
And in this video the spanish woman is telling a story about her daughter and you can see how she is looking to the right all the tiem with her eyes. In NLP when people look to the right they are accessing visually constructed Images, so that are basicall lies, and she is looking in the right direction several times. Nlp explains that she is not telling the truth and this is almost 100 % made up story and scam. She is also smiling, like she just is not taliing seriously. I think people will do everything for the money, it might help but this stuff is definately not a cure for all diseases if you ask me, no way!!! Check the woman in this video, she claims how MMS is effective and also read some onfo about NLP and eye movement here http://www.viewzone.com/liar.htm
Here is the article from some guy on curezone forums. I find it really interesting. So make sure you read it carefully.
Kids have perfect curls, perfect waves, perfect straight hair. even if it's messed up it still looks perfect, not a hair out of place. it just works for them, you know? lol!!
but you know WHY it works for them? heres why:
like anything that seems like age the answer is TOXINS! if you detox your scalp you will have perfect hair, just like you had when you were a kid. you know why? because 'perfect' is how nature intended it - and when you restore it to its natural state by removing toxins, this is how it will be!
this is how i did it:
1. throw away all commercial products.
even if they say 'natural'. they still have chemicals in them, even if not 'proven' carcinogenic, harmful etc. your body still has to get rid of them. kids bodies are much more efficient at getting rid of toxins - their bodies are 'the latest models', clean and functional. ours are like models that date back to the decade we were born. like an electrical appliance from the 80s, 70s, 60s...you know what i mean?!
Another study confirms that positive thinking brings longer living. The Mayo Clinic study shows that people who are generally most pessimistic have 42 percent more chance to die than optimistic participants. Mayo Clinic researchers has linked positive thinking to longer life. Other reasons my be that optimists have a healthier lifestyle, paying more attention to what they eat and exercise more.
The study is based on 6,958 men and women who entered the University of North Carolina.

The following article is really interesting. Leaky gut syndrome is a disorder where the intestinal lining is more porous then the normal one. All the toxic material reenters into the body and causes all sort of troubles and diseases. Leaky gut syndrome allows all the bacteria, viruses, digested stuff that body want to eliminate to be absorb back into the body. It is almost always related with auto immune diseases like lupus, alopecia areata, rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, vitiligo, thyroiditis, vasculitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, urticaria (hives), diabetes and Raynaud's disease.
