Skin Cancer Decreases Risk of Alzheimer’s?

Older people with nonmelanoma skin cancers may be less likely to
develop Alzheimer’s, according to new research published in Neurology.
The link does not apply to melanoma, an aggressive, less common type
of skin cancer.
Richard Lipton, MD, of Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York
City and colleagues conducted a longitudinal study with 1,100
residents over the age of 70. The adults, with no indication of
dementia at baseline, were followed for an average of 3.7 years. At
baseline, 109 participants reported a history of nonmelanoma skin
cancer. Over the course of the study, 32 people developed skin cancer
and 100 were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s dementia.
The researchers found that those who had skin cancer were 80% less
likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than those who didn’t have skin
cancer. Of all the participants who had or developed skin cancer, two
were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. There was no link with other types of
dementia.
Dr Lipton and colleagues offer that the nonmelanoma skin cancers may
have some type of biological protective effect. They discuss physical
activity as one explanation, “Physical activity is known to protect
against dementia, and outdoor activity could increase exposure to UV
radiation, which increases the risk of skin cancer.”
The researchers explain that biological factors most likely play a
role, as physical activity doesn’t reduce Alzheimer’s risk to the
extent seen in the study. The authors don’t discuss vitamin D as a
potential reason for the decreased risk of Alzheimer’s.
We have previously reported on research that found consumption of
vitamin D rich food and midday sun exposure were linked to decreased
risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

People whose cells die hard get easily cancer but are immune to
neurodegeneration and "natural" aging. They usually don't get gray
hair either. People whose cells die easily are protected from cancer
but exhaust their brain cell reserves pretty soon - white hair+
Alzheimer/Parkinson etc. Gohde's playing with fire and will soon
exhaust his stem cell reserves in bone marrow while forcing cells to
differentiate by VitD overdosing all year long. Intelligent person
would at least adjust dosing according to the season, same with the
sleep patterns and artificial lights.

decreases your risk of Alzheimer’s disease; rather than the perverse
masochistic pleasure of the Science Pyschos.
Just thought that YOU freaks might want to know. :)

alzheimers.
My interpretation of this is that the people with skin cancer have
possibility that they are excreting more toxins through their skin and
in the process develop skin disorder.
The people with alzheimers perhaps retain the toxins which then go on
to develop alzheimers.
