a host last night made a comment she is a melanoma survivor and allows herself one vacation per year to worship the sun and the rest of the time it is self tanners. I thought that was an irresponsible comment. I am not host bashing just calling out someone making such an irresponsible comment to millions of viewers who might believe that is acceptable.

Ah. That was a rather irresponsible comment. Hopefully she uses a really high SPF. With this kind of a scare, how can a person not be much more cautious going forward?

I didn't read the deleted thread but I listened to the host. I also shook my head. Here's my take on it: that particular host says things that lead her the way of the explanation road. On her FB page she's been explaining how she can suddenly wear heels because while selling Vionic, she always tells us how horrible her feet are. So, what I do is realize it is this particular host and she gets away with saying whatever she wants, and then we all complain and the threads get deleted. I simply do NOT take her seriously anymore, about anything.

So, that all being said, it's just another irresponsible thing out of her mouth. But this time the consequences could quite literally be deadly if you listen to her. NO dermatologist will EVER tell you that you should allow yourself one vacation per year to 'worship' the sun and the rest of the time use self tanners because she is so addicted to being tan. NO worshipping the sun is allowed when she is not only a skin cancer survivor...she is a MELANOMA survivor! Melanoma is not only on the rise, but we all know how deadly it can be. So yes, extremely irresponsible.

But when it comes to this host saying something like that, it seems perfectly normal for her to say something perfectly foolish.

A Walker, I usually pretty much ignore host stuff and certainly don't appreciate bashing. But a few months back, I heard this one, while presenting some anti-theft wallet, say something to the effect of how, yes, and in Europe, you really have to look out for Gypsies.

Now, either she is ignorant of the fact that she slurred an ethnic group, or she doesn't care. Can you imagine if she had said some other ethnic, racial, or religious group? No matter...it was totally inappropriate.

It wasn't that important, I saw it. It was just get another whine about a host. If it's the one I'm thinking of that was just posted. It wasn't worth replying to, so I didn't bother.

That's a bit harsh imo. I saw the original post (even responded to it) and what the host said was a bit irresponsible.....again imo.

I agree- if she said that, it is irresponsible and potentially dangerous.

It was SK. I heard the comment, also, and thought WHAT? Her reasoning/justification made no sense! The sun and your skin don't care if you are on "vacay" or not! Same effect either way.

you know I know I've heard something similar probably about a year ago. I couldn't believe my ears and surprised it wasn't talked about on the forums. It was JT that said it. Not sure about the person you mentioned.

Thanks for your answer, Iluvacop. I'm kind of surprised she would say that.

You're welcome September. Hey, it's her life, but her extra 'tidbit' of information wasn't necessary for the sale of the product. Should have left that part out!

OMG I can't believe she said that....but then again....I actually can, sadly! My take: she is ignorant AND only cares when caught. Then, she goes down that explanation road again. It's becoming so obvious she is out of her league with all her made-up words, because no intelligent person would get on national tv and pretend to be ignorant! So my conclusion is as so many people have said before....she looks good on tv, talks up a good story, and some people still fall for her line. And if you say something negative about her, out comes the jealousy line. Why anyone would jealous of her is beyond me, but apparently that's a valid reason to them for disliking the way she does her job lol. This latest little melanoma comment was really bad though. She should stick to her foot problems and heels.

My beloved sister passed away almost three years ago from melanoma, after many disfiguring surgeries and usless chemo. The doctors told me they had nothing to treat it. Melanoma is terrifying. I heard what the host said and just thought it was sad and irresponsible. Melanoma can occur any place in the body, even those areas never seen by the sun.

I agree, no sun exposure is responsible without sunscreen and clothing, especially those that have had any kind of skin cancer at any age. I watched skin cancer eat a hole in my great-grandmother's forehead and the nose off of her face before she passed. There was nothing that could be done in the early 80s. She was a sharecropper and didn't have sun screen at the turn of the century, nor for my grandmother coming up. You wear clothes, sunscreen, hats, and limit your exposure. Remember that you can get sun burned on cloudy days, so wear your sunscreen everyday!

That must have been horrible for you to see her suffer like that, so visibly. I often say I wish kids would be required to view videos of what smoking, the sun, and driving under the influence can do not only to the person but also their families. Some of those new cigarette commercials blew me away. I never saw what was coming next and really took pause to think about the way these types of visuals would be viewed by kids...especially with their lives ahead of them, feeling so very invincible. Anyway, just look at what the sun is doing out west to get an idea of how very powerful it is.

We are farmers, so sun and chemical exposure is just a hazard of life. I am super fair skinned compared to everyone else. They all have the tanning of our Creek Native American ancestors while I got all the recessive genes, the blue eyes, the blond hair, the fair skin, so I have always been aware of sun exposure as it doesn't take much for me to get burned/pink within 20 minutes even with super sun screen. We apply our sun screen every hour like clockwork and 30 minutes before we go out. I have these white spots from sun burns from my childhood. It is as if the skin has lost its coloring. I wear a light, long sleeved shirt when I'm out in the yard, sun screen and my wide brimmed hat.

We had granny with us till she passed, so taking care of her everyday gave us perspective into handling sun exposure. Everyone should this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9BqrSAHbTc

It shows how much sun damage your actually have. It is powerful and will wake even the stupidest person up! Maybe that host should watch it and wake up!

My great aunt died of skin cancer that spread to her bones and her brain. Part of her problem was her vanity since she let it go to the point of needing amputation, but chose not to. She wanted God to heal her. She also took my grandfather's, her father, oxygen and pain meds from him when he was dying from lung cancer because God was going to cure him and then he would be an addict. She was wrong then and wrong till the day she died. She was the wife of a doctor, so she should have known better but allowed her strip mall church to turn her mind for her money. God can heal such things, but if God healed my grandfather, he would have also healed the addiction. The hypocritical thing is that she took her pain meds without fear of getting addicted. She died in 9 months from when they discovered the skin cancer. It was very progressive and aggressive. Even risking the amputation did not guarantee remission, but it was a high chance since it hadn't spread at that point. Once it got into the bones, it just went like wild fire. It didn't help that she used tanning beds once she left the farm furthering her sun damage and risk, but that was her choice. Most of us in the family don't use tanning beds, but self tanners. I use self tanners before going on vacation to reduce the likelihood that I will burn because my skin is tinted darker than normal. That and sun screen have really made a difference in getting pink from any exposure along with applying it every hour.

I am very sorry about the loss of your sister.

Very true and something many people don't realize. My husband and I get checked every year, full body, for any signs of skin cancer. They check between our toes, scalp, and in areas that should remain nameless. Those are the hidden dangers zones that many don't think to look or watch out for.
