Facing Sun Effects
By: Roger Carr
A secret has been revealed in the news over the past few weeks. I
was a part of that secret. What was the secret you ask? Men are
now using skin care products as a part of their daily activities!
I started a few months ago due to something I learned about
myself. I had my picture taken. Not just a standard picture. I
had my picture taken with a special ultraviolet camera and light
that shows damaged skin due to excessive sun exposure. First they
took a picture of my face with standard light. Although not a
flattering picture, it looked like I expected. Then they took a
picture of my face with the ultraviolet light. What did I look
like? I looked like I had a face FULL of freckles. Only these
freckles weren't the cute ones that would have showed up in the
first picture. They showed that I have a significant amount of
sun damage. I guess my early years of working and playing outside
all summer long with little or no sun protection is catching up
with me.
It is common knowledge that sun damaged skin will cause premature
signs of aging skin (wrinkling, "leathery" appearance and feel,
etc.) as well as being a cause of skin cancer. So, I decided to
do something about it. One of those things is to take better care
of my skin. I am using skin care products that have a sunscreen
built in. These same products also contain enzymes that can help
speed cell renewal in sun damaged skin.
Yes, the secret is out. I am using skin care products every day.
My wife says my complexion is also better because of it. I look
forward to having my picture taken in the future. Maybe my
complexion isn't the only thing that is improving.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn
to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a
distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles
of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers
that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as
a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers
were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the
mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
