2How Does the Sun Affect My Skin?
Too much sun exposure causes most of the skin
changes that we think of as a normal part of
aging. Over time, the sun's ultraviolet (UV)
light damages (crystallizes and thins) the fibers
in the skin called elastin. When these fibers
breakdown, the skin begins to sag, stretch, and
lose its ability to go back into place after
stretching. The skin also bruises and tears more
easilytaking longer to heal. So while sun
damage to the skin may not be apparent when
you're young, it will definitely show later in
life.
- Too Much Exposure to the Sun Causes
- Pre-cancerous and cancerous (basal cell
carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and
melanoma) skin lesionscaused by loss of the
skin's immune function - Benign tumors
- Fine and coarse wrinkles
- Freckles
- Discolored areas of the skin, called mottled
pigmentation - Sallownessa yellow discoloration of the skin
- Telangiectasiasthe dilation of small blood
vessels under the skin - Elastosisthe destruction of the elastic tissue
causing lines and wrinkles

3The Making of a Sunburn
Sun exposure creates heat in the skin. Too much
heat results in a burn. It is ideal to reduce
excess heat (inflammation) with Thera-P Relief
Gel as soon as possible. You will immediately
feel the skin cool. Repeat often, especially
when you feel the skin become warm. Abundant
testimonials attest that when Relief Gel is used
to relieve the heat, the skin often does not
peel, and the skin turns from red to tan the next
day.
4Shedding Light on Peeling
Why do you peel after a sunburn?Because you
didnt have Thera-P Relief Gel in your medicine
cabinet? Peeling after sunburn is your bodys way
of getting rid of damaged cells. This is
necessary because cells damaged by the sun are at
risk of "losing control" and becoming cancer. Due
to this danger, all damaged cells are instructed
to commit suicide by repair mechanisms within
these cells. This mass suicide of cells results
in whole layers of damaged skin peeling off, to
be replaced by other cells underneath those
layers. What is the big deal if the damaged
cells are shed anyhow?The problem is that the
damage caused by UV light is a "double whammy".
In the layers below, the repair mechanisms
themselves may be damaged by the UV rays, which
prevents the cells from committing suicide in the
future. You do not even have to have sunburn for
this kind of damage to occur. Skin damage caused
by the sun is cumulative. Long term, daily
exposure to sunlight adds up.

5UVA is a long wavelength (320-400 nm nano
meters) UV and accounts for up to 95 percent of
the solar UV radiation reaching the Earth's
surface. It can penetrate into the deeper layers
of the skin and has for years been thought to
play a major part in skin aging and wrinkling.
Recent studies strongly suggest that it may also
initiate and exacerbate the development of skin
cancers. UVA rays are present during all daylight
hours and throughout the winter months.
UVB is the middle-range ultra violet wavelength
between 290-320 nm. It is responsible for
burning, tanning, acceleration of skin aging and
plays a very key role in the development of skin
cancer. The intensity of UVB varies by season,
location and time of day. The most significant
amount of UVB hits the U.S. between 10 AM and 4
PM between April and October.

6Carcinoma v. Melanoma
One blistering sunburn in childhood or
adolescence more than doubles a person's chances
of developing melanoma later in life. A person's
risk for melanoma also doubles if he or she has
had five or more sunburns at any age.
The two most common non-melanoma skin cancers,
basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma,
are directly correlated with sun accumulation
over many years. The most common locations for
basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma
tumors are sun-exposed areas the face, ears,
hands, etc. Melanoma is different. The sun
exposure pattern believed to result in melanoma
is that of brief, intense exposure a blistering
sunburn rather than years of tanning. Other
risk factors are also associated with melanoma,
such as a family history, skin type, and having a
large number of sizable moles on the body.
Melanoma can arise on any area of the body,
regardless of whether or not a sunburn occurred
in that location.

7Skin Cancer by the Numbers
One American dies every hour from skin
cancer. From 1995 to 2004, melanoma has
increased by more than 1 percent per year in the
US in sharp contrast to overall cancer rates
that have steadily decreased each year during
this time. 47,700 Americans will be diagnosed
with melanoma this year and 7,700 of them will
die from the disease. In 1930 your risk of
developing melanoma was 11,500 people. Today it
is 175. Approximately 1 out of every 5 children
in the United States today will grow up to have
some form of skin cancer.
8Some sunscreens absorb into the blood and raise
safety concerns.
The use of sunscreen chemicals is increasing the
incidence of cancer. Melanoma has more than
doubled in 20 years in direct proportion to
sunscreen sales. Users stay in the sun longer
without getting a burn, which would have been
'nature's warning signal.' Our review of
technical literature shows that some sunscreen
ingredients absorb into the blood, and some are
linked to toxic effects. Chemical Sunscreens
Increase Incidence of Skin Cancer Scientific
studies documented 84 of 832 sunscreen products
offered inadequate protection from the sun, or
contained ingredients with significant safety
concerns. At least 51 of products on the market
bear claims considered "unacceptable" or
misleading under FDA's draft sunscreen safety
standards released in August of 2007.

9Sunscreens Chemical v. Physical Blockers
Chemical Blockers Sunscreens that are chemical
blockers absorb UV radiation within a specific
wavelength, thereby diminishing the penetration
of UV radiation through the epidermis.
Physical Blockers Sunscreens that are physical
blockers work by reflecting or scattering UV
radiation. Physical blockers are effective
against both UVA and UVB radiation. They are made
of inert metals that sit on the skin and are not
absorbed.
10Free Radical Generation Damage From Chemical
Sunscreens
In sunlight, some chemical sunscreens release
free radicals that can damage DNA and cells,
promoting skin aging and possibly raising risks
for skin cancer. Some act like estrogen and may
disrupt normal hormone signaling in the body, and
some may build up in the body and the
environment.

cells deep in the epidermis showing reactive
oxygen species activity following sunscreen
application to the skin surface. Reactive oxygen
species can react with cellular components,
leading to skin damage and increasing the visible
signs of aging. (Source K. Hanson, UC
Riverside, Sunscreens Can Damage Skin,
Researchers Find)
11Why Use Physical Blockers Such as Zinc and
Titanium?
An Environmental Working Group study shows that
consumers who use sunscreens without zinc and
titanium are likely exposed to more UV radiation
and greater numbers of hazardous ingredients
than consumers relying on zinc and titanium
products for sun protection. Consumers using
sunscreens without zinc and titanium are
exposed to an average of 20 more UVA radiation -
with increased risks for UVA-induced skin damage,
premature aging, wrinkling, and UV-induced immune
system damage - than consumers using zinc- and
titanium-based products. Chemical blocker
sunscreens contain four times as many high
hazard ingredients known or strongly suspected to
cause cancer or birth defects, to disrupt human
reproduction or damage the growing brain of a
child. They also contain more toxins on
average in every major category of health harm
considered cancer (10 more), birth defects and
reproductive harm (40 more), neurotoxins (20
more), endocrine system disruptors (70 more),
and chemicals that can damage the immune system
(70 more).

(Sodium Chlorite), Calcium Carbonate, Sorbitol
Powder, Sodium Benzoate, Mentha piperta
(Peppermint) Essential Oil, Xylitol, Titanium
Dioxide, Xanthan Gum, Stevia, Decyl Glucoside
(Mild Cleanser). - Certified Organic No Animal
Testing Needs No Warning Label
23What O2xyBrite is
- Calcium Carbonate gives cleaning power to help
remove stains and plaque, as well as polish
teeth. Provides enough abrasion to remove plaque
and stains, but will not damage tooth enamel. - Decyl Glucoside is a mild cleanser that creates
a foam to trap the O2xy on the gums and teeth
long enough to provide the antimicrobial /
anti-inflammatory action. - Mentha piperta (Peppermint) Essential Oil starts
with fresh, organic mint leaves that are put
through a triple distillation process especially
for Chaé Organics. This extra step yields a very
smooth, refreshing, sweet taste and smell,
compared with most peppermints that have a sharp,
hot taste. This oil provides the following
benefits analgesic, anti-spasmodic,
anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-viral. - O2xy is stabilized oxygen with a technical, FDA
name of Sodium Chlorite (see the document
available called O2xy Antimicrobial Summary for
a listing of the clinical reports on all the
bacteria, fungi, and viruses it kills). O2xy
breaks down to a form of table salt. - Sodium Benzoate is used at an extremely low level
as a food-grade preservative to prevent product
contamination, and to maintain optimal
homeostatic levels for O2xy activity. - Sorbitol is a sweetener that sustains a good pH
balance in the mouth. It does not lower the pH
of plaque like sugar, which causes the
demineralization of tooth enamel. The source of
this sorbitol is non-GMO. - Titanium Dioxide, also known as TiO2, is a
mineral pigment occurring in nature. It is used
for providing brightness and whiteness and
functions as a stain remover/whitener. Chaé
secures TiO2 from mines in South America where
the land is clear of acid rain. - Vegetable Glycerin is a humectant that keeps the
tooth polish moist, and adds a pleasant, sweet
flavor. Chaé specifically obtains organic
glycerin from vegetable sources, versus the
commonly used animal by-product. - Xylitol is a natural sugar found in plums,
strawberries, raspberries, and birch trees. Chaé
Organics utilizes birch tree xylitol. Xylitol
replaces sugars that can lead to tooth decay, and
helps prevent cavities by inhibiting the growth
of bacteria, such as Streptococcus mutans. The
source of this xylitol is non-GMO. - Xanthan is a natural gum that thickens the tooth
polish and helps keep it moist for a 1-year shelf
life.
24What O2xyBrite is not
- NO Flouride most toothpastes have the following
message on the back of the tube or box - (also see article titled Fluoride Health Risks)
- WARNING Keep out of the reach of children
under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow
more than used for brushing, seek professional
assistance or contact a Poison Control Center
immediately. As with other toothpastes, if
irritation occurs discontinue use. - NO Triclosan - Dozens of toothpastes sold at
supermarkets are at the center of a cancer alert.
Researchers have discovered that triclosan, a
commonly used antibacterial, can react with
chlorinated water to produce chloroform gas. If
inhaled in large enough quantities, chloroform
can cause depression, liver problems and, in some
cases, cancer - NO Sodium Lauryl Sulfate - a synthetic foaming
agent known to cause problems that include 1)
the break down of protein / gum tissue 2)
inflammation of gums 3) gastro-intestinal or
liver toxicant 4) recurrent mouth ulcers 5)
harsh cleansing (SLS is an industrial-strength
detergent) 6) dissolves cell membranes (SLS is
used in labs to expose DNA) - NO Propylene Glycol - a solvent that breaks down
the gums potentially increasing gum disease - NO Artificial Colors or Flavors
- Nearly twenty percent of the population suffers
from small, painful oral ulcers called canker
sores or aphthous ulcers. Recent research
suggests that SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), a
detergent found in 99 percent of all toothpastes,
induces these ulcers.
25Low RDA Benefits
- A common problem associated with toothpastes is
tooth sensitivity. Sensitive teeth produce pain
or discomfort when exposed to hot or cold foods,
liquids, and sweets. Baking soda (found in some
toothpastes), as well as highly salted foods will
also cause discomfort in people with sensitive
teeth. Teeth become sensitive when tooth enamel
is worn away, exposing the underlying permeable
tooth layer, known as dentin. Many toothpastes
are too abrasive and actually strip away tooth
enamel, which never grows back. In fact, the
first thing dentists will do for patients
suffering from sensitive teeth is have them
switch to a less abrasive toothpaste. A
toothpaste's abrasiveness is measured by its
Relative Dentin Abrasivity (RDA). The following
table shows the RDA of some common toothpastes,
including the low RDA of the Chaé Organics
formula. - Toothpaste RDA

26Periodontal Disease Linked To Life- Threatening
Diseases
- Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease,
is one of the most common infections - often more
prevalent than the common cold. The U.S. Public
Health Service reports that 98 of all Americans
have some form of dental disease, although most
people are unaware that they have it. The reason
for this is simple Periodontal disease is not
painful until it gets to the advanced stages. A
number of studies confirm a link between gum
infections and a weakened immune system, leading
to a host of serious diseases, including - Heart disease and stroke Researchers have found
that people with periodontal disease are almost
twice as likely to suffer from coronary artery
disease as those without periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease can also exacerbate existing
heart conditions. Additional studies have pointed
to a relationship between periodontal disease and
stroke. - Diabetes People with diabetes are more likely
to have periodontal disease than people without
diabetes. This is supported by a study reported
in the Journal of Periodontology in 1997
involving 113 Pima Indians with both diabetes and
periodontal disease. The study found that when
their periodontal infections were treated, the
management of their diabetes markedly improved. - Pre-term/low birth weight births Pregnant women
who have periodontal disease may be seven times
more likely to have a baby that is born too early
and too small. - Respiratory Diseases Recent research suggests
that bacteria found in the throat, as well as
bacteria found in the mouth, can be drawn into
the lower respiratory tract. This can cause
infections or worsen existing lung conditions. - The health of the mouth is crucial to overall
health.
