What is Sun Burn?

Also called: Burn from the sun

The Sun is the source of energy for the people on earth. The sun emits numerous radiations of different wavelengths including UV rays. These UV rays are very harmful and cause a variety of skin diseases including skin cancer. The skin pigment melanin protects the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays. Sun burn or Burn from the sun results when the amount of exposure to the sun or other ultraviolet light source exceeds the ability of the body's protective pigment, melanin, to protect the skin. Sun Burn should not be treated insignificantly since fatalities have been seen due to prolonged exposure to sunlight. The symptoms of Sun Burn are not apparent immediately, but by the time it is apparent, the damage has been done. Blistering of the skin is seen in severe sun burns. Sunburns increase many fold the risk of developing melanoma. Skin cancer (basal cell and squamous cell cancer) is directly related to the amount of sun exposure (determined by skin pigmentation and hours in the sun). Finally, sun exposure and ultraviolet damage have been implicated in the development of cataracts.

Tamir Goren "When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering. After an excessive research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work! She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass? And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
