Graveyard shift probable carcinogen

[bugscufle]

Next month, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the cancer arm of the World Health Organization, will classify shift work as a "probable" carcinogen.

That will put shift work in the same category as cancer-causing agents like anabolic steroids, ultraviolet radiation, and diesel engine exhaust.


If the shift work theory proves correct, millions of people worldwide could be affected. Experts estimate that nearly 20 percent of the working population in developed countries work night shifts.

In recent years, several studies have found that women working at night for many years are indeed more prone to breast cancer, and that animals who have their light-dark schedules switched grow more cancerous tumors and die quicker.
Some research has also shown that men working at night may have a higher rate of prostate cancer.

I read somewhere recently that people who work in basements and other areas without windows have more cancer. --probably due to lack of sunshine and full spectrum light, me thinks.

It may not be the night shift, per se, but the lack of access to sunshine because they would be going to bed during the hours that is is best to be in the sun.

15 minutes a day gives you 1000 I. U.s of vitamin d, and that is all you need. If they went out into the sun, 40% exposed to the sun before 10 or after two, maybe they would negate the negative effects of losing that access to the sun by working nights.

Also, in addition, cancer prone people are lacking vitamin d, they also lack selenium, among other things.

Free sunshine, and two brazil nuts, oughta take care of that, or 200 mcgms selenium suppliment..

You can type in "cancer and vitamin d" at line at top of computer or other things that come to your mind to get a lot of info.

Tumeric is recommended or use in cooking, the yellow color in chinese rice and some chicken soups,, etc., or use a little in tea they say, but i haven't tried the tea yet.

4 cups of green tea a day is recommended by the cancer society.

I am trying to follow the diets recommended in a reasonable manner, but can't remember the rest at the moment.

It might be a good idea to type in cancer and sunlight, or lack of sunlight, cancer and vitamin d, cancer and full spectrum light, cancer and other vitamins, and carcenogenics, etc.

I went to mexico for laetrile treatment around 1969 when i had my first cancer and that is made of apricot pits, a cyanide.

Cyanide is found in seeds, and it is good to eat grape seeds and other seeds. I imagine that beans are a seed too, but don't know for sure.

It is good to avoid fats from meat where pesticides and other poisons are store in animals. I eat very little meat products, but use only organic from animals who are not given antibiotics and hormones and fed pure foods.

The same goes for all meat products, dairy, etc.

Please excuse the way i am posting it. I really don't feel like tryping right now, but the subject of cancer freaks me out.

Most of my mmediate family have died from one form or another, and i'd like to see a search and destroy mission performed right hear in this country for the silent "terrorists" in our midst.

--like cigs and the companies that are using this weapon of an undeclared war that is killing so many thousands of people each year from cancer.

--and other things that we do, like abortion which kills more than 4000 a day! That's more than the twin towers. Bin Laden didn't do these things. WE did!

Thanks for the info. I'll be warching. Hope you will keep us posted. love, alma
