The journey to the truth often takes you to rainbow's end and the pot of gold – I.e., follow the money. One such truth explains Sun Scare, a movement whose sole purpose generates profits for cosmetics manufacturers, cosmetic dermatologists and beauty magazines – at the expense of your health. Sun Scare's exaggeration of skin cancer risk, especially melanoma, has caused a vitamin D deficiency epidemic in the United States, Canada and other parts of the world - making Vitamin D deficiency the greatest health problem of the century.
Today cosmetic dermatologists lose $4.7 billion per year in eczema UV treatments to the professional indoor tanning community. This does not include income lost for psoriasis and other UV therapy treatments now performed by the professional indoor tanning community for one twentieth or 5% of the cost. Although the professional indoor tanning community is a beauty business, ten percent of professional indoor tanning community clients are referred by their doctor for light therapy.
Consequently the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AADA) has the stated goal to shut down the professional indoor tanning community – remove the competition. In thirty years the AADA has been unsuccessful, which may be why many cosmetic dermatologists have turned to crime to make extra cash. The AADA member doctors are disproportionately dishonest. For example, according to the World Health Organization the U.S. diagnosis 47 percent of the world's melanomas while only having 4.5 percent of the world's population. This blog is dedicated to those model cosmetic dermatologists who epitomize the cosmetic dermatology industry.
