Guest guest Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hi - have you done a research here in the archives or on her site? I know this topic has been discussed within the past year and Bee has given her beliefs on it. You can do this research while you await Bee's response in the morning. > > First, I'm only using the safe beds on Dr. Mercola's site. Second, I don't plan on going much. Just 2 times a week for 3 weeks. I usually wouldn't even do this but the bride has asked me to get a little color since I'm ghostly white compared to everyone else...haha. > > Anyway, I've been taking 1 tbsp of garden of life cod liver oil and 1 capsule of the natural factors halibut liver oil. I don't shower right after but I do about 5 hours later. I've gone a total of 3 times now and plan on going 3 more times. One more time this week and 2 next week and then that's it.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 > > Hi Bee, > I haven't been in the sun or a tanning bed in probably over 2 years now but I have another wedding coming up that I'm in and just want to get a little color. Being I work indoors everyday and it's not very warm out yet where I live my only option is to use a tanning bed. I don't want to over do it or do anything to overdose on Vitamin D so just wanted to ask you about this. > > First, I'm only using the safe beds on Dr. Mercola's site.

Or could I overdose on Vitamin D? +++Hi , I just typed in tanning as the Subject in our Search on the Group my message on Tanning Beds came up as the 4th one: Why You Shouldn't Use Tanning Beds When You Take Cod Liver Oil – Message #102028, January 27, 2011.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 > > Hi Bee, > > What about using tanning beds that only use uva lights? +++Hi kelly, Can you tan with only UVA rays, and are there tanning beds that only have UVA rays? Maybe so, I don't know. However, UVB rays create vitamin D on your skin, while the UVA rays in the sunlight will tend to destroy excessive levels of vitamin D circulating in your body. This is from my article Vitamin D – Amount of Sun Exposure Required: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/sun.php " Some people may worry that if they are in the sun a lot they will overdose on Vitamin D. However this doesn't happen, and here's why. When you're exposed to the sun, the UVB rays create vitamin D on your skin, while the UVA rays in the sunlight will tend to destroy excessive levels of vitamin D circulating in your body. That means that even " if " you are taking vitamin D and also getting it from the sun, the UVA rays in sunlight won't allow you to have too much vitamin D.

I don't plan on doing this regularily or anything. > +++Hi , Yes, you can overdose on vitamin D, which what I wrote, so just to be safe you should not take any vitamin D for those few weeks, and only take Omega 3 and vitamin A in the usual doses, if tanning is that important. However, that advice is given without any promises from me, since I did write this in my message: I refuse to get into details of how long you " could " stop taking CLO before using a tanning bed, which means switching over to only taking fish oil (only contains omega 3) and a separate vitamin A, since that means calculating how much vitamin D a safe tanning bed produces, how long a person is in it, and whether your skin has enough natural oils for vitamin D to be created on it, etc. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe you are unsure of the answer to this? +++If the tanning bed also has UVA rays then there is no concern with taking vitamin D as my article explains. Otherwise, I refuse to get into details of how long you " could " stop taking CLO before using a tanning bed [that is UBV rays only], which means switching over to only taking fish oil (only contains omega 3) and a separate vitamin A, since that means calculating how much vitamin D a safe tanning bed produces, how long a person is in it, and whether your skin has enough natural oils for vitamin D to be created on it, etc. Bee > > Thanks, > > > > > > Thanks Bee.
