SEA BRIGHT, N.J., April 9, 2009 — Between the risks of burns, skin cancer and premature aging, tanning beds haven’t had the healthiest reputation. But with the founding of her new company, Island Sun Tanning Beds (http://www.islandsuntanningbeds.com), and the launch of a 2008 model closeout sale, Kathleen Kalaf is out to educate consumers on just how healthy, energy-efficient and affordable tanning at home can now be.
“There’s no longer a reason to buy used or cheap tanning beds,” says Kalaf. “You can get our unique top-of-the-line tanning beds at unheard of prices right here, right now,” she said. Available in 18- and 22-lamp beds, the Island Sun models are priced well below retail value.
These are a far cry from tanning beds popular a decade ago. Island Sun Tanning Beds are manufactured using state-of-the-art electronic ballasts, which eliminate the electromagnetic field (EMF) associated with the magnetic ballasts used by other tanning bed brands. According to natural health proponent Dr. Joseph Mercola, EMFs have been linked to cancer and other health problems.
Another benefit of electronic ballasts: They’re easier on the environment. Tanning beds with electronic ballasts require significantly less power to operate, which adds up to a cost savings as well. At the same time, Island Sun Tanning Beds’ spotlight technology provides 50% more tanning power — delivering essential Vitamin D to the body more quickly than other tanning beds.
Kalaf partnered with an industry-leading manufacturer to create Island Sun Tanning Beds. At the time, she was bedridden with systemic candida, a debilitating condition from serious overgrowth of yeast, caused by taking too many antibiotics. This causes immune system failure, resulting in a myriad of problems. Having to leave her job due to her condition, Kalaf was hoping to replace her lost income.
Island Sun has given her the opportunity to speak to many people about health — specifically, about the often misdiagnosed problem of systemic candida. Now healthy for the first time in eight years, Kalaf enjoys the feeling of wellbeing she gets from using Island Sun Tanning Beds and has taken on the mission of educating the public about the effects of prolonged use of antibiotics, birth control, and steroids. She is currently in the process of forming a non-profit organization, http://www.atlanticjourneytowellness.com, which is dedicated to that mission.
“I have committed my life to health and to educating others about systemic candida,” Kalaf explained. “Island Sun Tanning Beds, with their health benefits, reduced health risks, affordability and lower environmental impact, can be part of a healthy lifestyle. I think people will be pleasantly surprised by the advances in technology that have made Island Sun Tanning Beds possible.”
