Welcome.
If the Astaxanthin (I take this but still can barely pronounce it right!! ha ha)
if it is from a pure source (like mercola's for example, there are others)
then this is a wonderful anti oxidant, and has many times the powers of
Vitamin E.
The essential oil of Patchouli is also effective for protecting against uv radiation.
*again, I am only speaking of "therapeutic grade essential oils, one example is
www.youngliving.com
Also, Patchouli, as well as Cedarwood, Ginger,Myrrh, and Sandalwood, are high in what are called:
Sesquiterpenes-these are chemical elements in the essential oils that are known to:
increase oxygenation around the Pineal and Pituitary glands, AND further research has
shown that Sesquiterpenes have the ABILITY to enter the blood brain barrier.
Which means carry oxygen to the blood brain barrier and brain tissues.
Sesquiterpenes are also: highly anti inflammatory, anti-bacterial, are soothing to irritated skin and tissue,
and also work as liver and gland stimulants.
Cedarwood is under 15.00 dollars I think, and Patchouli is around 30, or so....they are not expensive compared to
Sandalwood and Myrrh. Ginger is also inexpensive.
The Healing qualities in these essential oils of therapeutic grade will NOT be found in dried herbs, or cheaper
essential oils.
The question is: what IS it, about those prescription drugs (Cipro, ect) that render
the body so vulnerable to severe sun burns? The only thing I can say for certain is:
to cause the amt of severe side effects this drug has to be extremely toxic.
I will add: night blindness is another common side effect of "low thyroid".
If we could "see" the thyroid status's of those who wear eye glasses,
we'd see a common thread/denominator of "low thyroid" very prominantly
among those who wear glasses.
Blessings,
Lizzie

Lizzie;
many thanks again for your informative clarifications, I have much to learn about many things!
There are many users comments on astaxanthin helps to internally protect skin from sun burn; do folks here find it useful?

I had to go to the ER yesterday, & was way too sick to even think about this. As of last nite, I'm taking two 500 mg pills of Cipro (an antimicrobial) per day, & also got a week-long course of Doxycycline & Bactrum. All the bottles say "AVOID PROLONGED OR EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO DIRECT AND/OR ARTIFICIAL SUNLIGHT WHILE TAKING THIS MEDICINE." I took 2 Cipro (ciprofloxacin) so far, 1 yesterday at the ER, & 1 this morning, when I filled the prescription. How do I know if I've already become sun sensitive? (As of this afternoon, my skin seems to be reactig to cold water as though it's hot, & my skin burns a lot, everywhere, which I initially thought was a rxn to Lyme die-off). Is there

Please let me know ASAP. I'm already so sick from Lyme, bug bites etc., & the ER doc didn't tell me about this when he gave me the Cipro. I also got a really bad ocular migraine this morning, perhaps because I stayed in the car in the very sunny parking lot for 45 min. while wating for my ER Rx to be filled (the rest of the ciprofloxacin). Thought it was a reaction to yesterday's cipro pill, which the doc gave me without telling me anything about it, & I was too sick to ask questions. Since all my antibiotic bottles say that warning, I'm not sure if ciprofloxacin is one of the ones that could make me permanently sun sensitive, if that's what caused the ocular migraine(?) & if I'm already permanently sun-sensitive. Thanks. Love to all of you handling all this
