Why Don't Doctors Do More About Skin Cancer?

Yesterday, yet another client came to me with

melanoma spots that been removed over 

and over again by her dermatologist. 

And, yet again, another doctor didn't ask anything of their patient about what they use on their skin DAILY. Every single one of us uses at least a soap. This makes less and less sense to me as the years go by. When a patient has heart disease, they are encouraged to make some life and dietary changes. When lung cancer is diagnosed, a patient is asked to quit smoking right away (if they smoke). 

If a patient is diagnosed with almost anything else, a doctor inquires at least a little into *how* the patient fell into the disease. But for skin cancer- doctors just say, "ho hum, well you've got bad luck and bad genes, let's get the knife out and then you can continue about your life as you were." 

WHY aren't dermatologists looking at the products their patients use? They KNOW that that almost all body washes have known cancer causing agents. Why would they refuse to believe that those products could actually be causing the cancer they are treating? Why would you go into a field of science and spend your life getting a doctorate in not just medicine, but focus on a specific organ of the body (the skin) and then NOT be interested in all the things that affect it. 

Skin Cancer has risen to epidemic levels, but what has caused it? I am sure we could go down a few different roads here including even more processed foods in our diets, but the road I'm going to take you down is the soap/skincare product shift.

From my research, it seems that Sodium Lauryl Sulfate was starting to be used in skincare applications around the early 80's. Previous to this, it and other forms of SLS had been strictly used to clean carpet and industrial equipment. Though it had known organ toxicity when animal studies were done, someone convinced the FDA that, as long as it was used in reasonable amounts, it was safe for human skin use. 

Did you know that on the Material Data Safety Sheet for SLS, it recommends to rinse for 15 minutes to be sure you've removed all traces of it. How often do you rinse your soap off for 15 minutes, and are you rinsing your places with folds (specifically your genital area) for 15 good minutes? I ask this last question because I know at least 2 people who've shown up with skin cancer in this area of their body. Here is the MSDS sheet for SLS. I highly recommend you take a look at it.

Another person I've met along my travels is a 32 year old woman who has had skin cancer removed from her scalp over and over again for the past 5 years. She was scared, confused, and when I asked her about what shampoo she uses, no one had ever told her to even analyze it, so of course every day she's using something with both SLS and cocomide DEA. Check out this expose' to see where Cocomide DEA is lurking around.

I just don't understand why questions aren't being asked and why doctors aren't moving skin cancer patients off of these known carcinogens that are going on their patient's skin every single damn day. Don't even get started on why, also, they aren't recommending scientifically proven topical herbs like meadowsweet and gentian that have been shown to kill skin cancer on contact.
