Mayo Clinic Allegedly Presents Flawed Research On "Melanoma Outbreak"; It Just Doesn't Exist Says Tanner's Rights In New Report

(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 18, 2012 ) New York City, NY -- The Tanner's Rights organization has allegedly uncovered a conspiracy of companies making billions of dollars on sunscreen products, while funding intentionally bogus research that artificially inflates melanoma occurrences, as well as other false information. Most recently researchers at Mayo Clinic have received large sums of money from L'Oreal before creating reports that have allegedly promoted lies and misinformation, says Tanner's Rights, an organization that is part of a growing chorus of other doctors who are criticizing the L'Oreal-backed anti-tanning research.



"These are actual lies in the name of science and it is very disappointing that companies like Nestle and L'Oreal can use their power and money to promote lies," says Goran Olson of Tanner's Rights. "It's more disappointing that medical companies like Mayo Clinic will defend lies in their research even when other doctors are pointing out the flaws."



Tanner's Rights is speaking out about a recent study by the Mayo Clinic which was led in part by researchers funded by corporations like L'Oreal, who sell products to help prevent skin cancer. The end result of the research said that there is a melanoma epidemic, but Tanner's Rights - an organization with a website focused on the issue - has helped bring to light the statements of some doctors who say that the study is flawed, and who point out a possible trend in allegedly bogus research that may help L'Oreal sell products. According to Tanner's Rights own research, they say that while the true motivations of the allegedly flawed melanoma reports have yet to be exposed, the fact remains that there is a financial connection between researchers on these allegedly "overhyped melanoma scare reports" and companies like Nestle and L'Oreal who sell sun screen and dermatology products.



According to Goran Olson at Tanner's Rights, "Being old enough to remember a time when parents, teachers, doctors and all other authorities encouraged children to spend more time in the sun, I find the sun-scaring reports during the last 30 years very strange. In order to find the answer to the question if sunshine really had become an enemy of mankind, I started to look into the reports in more detail. Doing so, I found three very interesting facts."



Mr. Olsen says he studied many doctors who were criticizing the L'Oreal-backed bogus research before coming to a conclusion. "The first fact was that there was no real statistical proof that sunshine or tanning beds are dangerous to health if not abused," he explains. "The second fact was that in every report there was an astonishing discrepancy between the reported conclusions and the real result of the research. The third fact was that almost every sun-scaring report I looked into was authored by persons sponsored by companies who made billions in sale of sun-protecting cosmetics and skin-care medicines."



Mr. Olson has documented various other doctor's reports who have spoken out against the rash of bogus research. The website Tanner's Rights has the complete story about how Mr. Olson came to conclude that L'Oreal and Mayo Clinic researchers were involved in a conspiracy. "What makes the latest report about from the Mayo Clinic (about melanoma among young women in Olmsted County) extra remarkable is that in spite of not even being a part of the survey, indoor tanning got the blame for the very spurious statistics presented in the report," he says.



Doctors from around the globe have challenged the so-called "melanoma outbreak" on a variety of medical grounds. For example, in one medical article by Dr. Earl J Glusac, the entire idea of an epidemic is suggested as a result of hype and overdiagnosis. In the medical Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, Dr. Glusac writes "The rise in malignant melanoma incidence has been termed epidemic. Closer scrutiny of epidemiologic data suggests overdiagnosis as the true cause of the dramatic rise in melanomaincidence."



Tanners Rights points out that the Nestle and Loreal companies created a partnership company called Galderma in 1981 with the goal of being the world's leading dermatology products company, according to the Galderma.com website. Galderma then became a major corporate sponsor of the "Dermatology Foundation" which is sponsored almost entirely by for-profit corporations that have an interest in selling dermatological products. One of the leading researchers in the Mayo Clinic study, Dr. Jerry D. Brewer, is acknowledged on the Mayo Clinic website as being "a recipient of a Dermatology Foundation Career Development Award for the study of lymphoma-associated skin cancer."



Dr. William Grant, an epidemiologist writing for the Vitamin D Council, has done research that suggests that sunscreen may actually be the cause of the increase in melanoma. Dr. Grant writes:



"Two recent papers blame increased ultraviolet (UV) exposure for the growing rates of melanoma in the UK. Not considered were other possible explanations for the rising rates of melanoma, including the use of sunscreen, especially at latitudes above 40º, and a combination of underdiagnosis in the past with over diagnosis more recently. [Melanoma mortality rates changed little in the U.S. between 1986 and 2001 while incidence rates more than doubled."



Tanner's Rights has a goal to help clarify the debate on what is being called a bogus melanoma scare by some doctors. For more information, visit the website at www.tannersrights.com.
