Vitamin D
You've probably heard a lot about Vitamin D in the news. For over twenty years dermatologists and others have been advising you to stay away from ultraviolet light. Many researchers in the medical field are now changing their minds after seeing the unintended consequence of sunphobia -rampant vitamin D deficiency.
Handwashing to prevent infections and patient deaths was a revolutionary yet simple concept in the 1800's. Getting vitamin D from UVB may be a revolutionary yet simple solution for many health problems from bone diseases to dangerous internal cancers.
Vitamin D is made naturally from UVB. Tanning lamps emit UVB.

Tanning Clips
Below are a collection of various news clips about tanning.
Good morning Jeff,
I just wanted to let you know how much I love going to the Solar Planet at White Flint. I can not say enough about the staff; they are always polite, professional and cheerful. I love to tan, it is so relaxing and it is my one indulgence – and in this economy it is hard to maintain such things. But because of your friendly staff, Sam, Nicole, Crystal & Diana and their knowledge of products and services – I LOVE THEM! As soon as I walk in the door I am in a good mood. There are more convenient tanning salons for me to go but because I feel so comfortable I will continue to go to White Flint. My schedule happens to coincide with Sam a lot so I have gotten to know her and she is such a doll, they are all great though. Fell free to contact me with any questions or if you need anything else form me. Tell those girls that I think they are terrific-and to keep up the excellent work. Thanks for having such a great staff!
