This group is in total opposition to the AAD, the CDC, FTC, the FDA, and probably the Pope. Is there anything these people are not opposed to? Their publication circulates to 20,000 people who don't pay for it. They are basically paid hacks for the sunbed industry. If they were objective about the harmful effects of sunbeds, they would be out of business.
"It is time for the tanning industry to develop and to support the expertise necessary to protect the tanning salon business against such powerful forces."
I want Dr. Caswell to stand over the ashes of those who have died in our community, or who will die in this community because his industry has failed to maintain any semblance of scientific validation of their products. They have failed to insure their salons against lawsuits that will be brought against them by doctors on behalf of patients who have been injured by their products.
- Tanning Industry Trade Association Formed 1997 - Indoor Tanning Equipment Manufacturers Association Jerry Frank wants to form a non-profit group that joins all the sunbed makers in a lobbying group. How can a non-profit group that represents the sunbed industry be objective?
- Cosmedico Light, Inc. President Speaks Out Against Trade Show Proliferation
"...the 'sponsors' of our trade shows, have declared war on one another."
"I don't think we can look to the journals to mediate a sane
compromise. Only by taking control of our own industry can we reach --and grow-- our market in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible."
- Jan Tana - leads the way in body building events
- - Industry links from their site Note the large number of body building sponsorship links. If you want to find testosterone enhanced females who look like last year's Thanksgiving turkey on "juice", then come here and look around. The Terminator's own Columbus Classic is also here. They'll be back!!!
- Why is Arnold Schwarzenegger addicted to sunbed money? - If he is so interested in the Holocaust, and has served on the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, the Special Olympics, and is interested in getting people off "drugs". Why did he appear in Sunbed trade show magazines, and why did he appear on the cover of Cigar Aficionado Magazine? Of course he starred in "True Lies", and "Total Recall". The first movie was a total bomb, and he just couldn't remember the second one. I guess that the sunbed industry is sort of like Arnold's memory banks, it remembers what it wants to about health and fitness, and forgets the rest. His activities in support of the sunbed industry look more like a scene from "The Terminator", but the targets are our children and wives who use sunbeds.
Sunbed studies linked to melanoma & other deadly skin cancers
- "Link between sunbed use and melanoma confirmed. Westerdahl and colleagues, in a recent study found that the risk of developing malignant
melanoma was significantly increased after exposure to sunlamps or sunbeds more than 10 times per year. Use of tanning devices is more common in
people under 30 years of age and this age group had a 7.7 fold increased risk of skin cancer than those with no sunbed/lamp exposure (American Journal
of Epidemiology, 1994; 140: 691). To combat these risks in the US population, the American Medical Association House of Delegates has passed a
resolution urging the FDA to control the sale and use of tanning equipment for non-medical purposes (American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, 15
December 1994 News Release)."
