Guest guest Posted January 14, 2000 Report Share Posted January 14, 2000 Hey guys! I was in formed today by a woman who has a BS in Anatomy/physiology and biological sciences that some recent studies have linked breast cancer and deoderant. At first I thought this was a little wacky, but once she explained it, it made more sense. The body's process of eliminating waste and cooling down the body is thru sweat, so if one used deoderant a lot or all the time (I've known people to apply it 3 or 4 times a day) the toxins that would normally be released cannot escape the body and build up in the area, which can lead to diseases such as breast cancer. Well, in today's society we are always trying to hide our natural smells (unfortunately and fortunately for some people), and I sweat a lot, and in doing massage therapy, most people don't want a hippie-esque smelling therapist... So I " m wondering, are there any combinations of oils or one in particular besides patchouli that can be used as a deoderant and not an anit-perspirant? My mother had breast cancer, so it's something I'm a little concerned about. Thanks in advance! Koog ~~ Tracy ICQ # 31095731 " Adventure, excitement, a cab driver seeks not these things.

Make sure your digestive system is in first class working order and minimize meat and fats in your diet (some folks feel that these foods/issues are what cause body odor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2000 Report Share Posted January 16, 2000 deoderant isn't the problem. antipersperant is the killer. if you don't sweat those toxins out they back up into the breast area. ewww Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2000 Report Share Posted January 16, 2000 Dear Tracy, I had an article on that not that long ago, but I can't find it to forward on for the group. I finally gave up my antiperspirants last year. I did so with trepidation as I didn't want to risk being out and about and have to worry about being offensive to others, much less myself. There are a couple of companies that do put out just plain deodorants. Also, I began to use Tom's of Maine deodorant. I was very concerned it wouldn't be strong enough. Yep, it has been. Then I also began to use Juniper essential oil. That worked great. Then I began using some of these as well; lavender, geranium, bergamot, cypress, eucalyptus or myrtle. I'm happy as a little clam! Plus I feel that I'm doing myself a big service! If you're really concerned about it all, you could just apply a couple drops before each client. That should just about take care of anything going on. By the way, Frankincense has great research in other countries for being great against cancer. Wishing you well in all ways, Lynn Friday, January 14, 2000 1:34 PM " Tracy J. Koogler " <koog ....

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2000 Report Share Posted January 18, 2000 >> particular besides patchouli that can be used as a deoderant and not an> anti-perspirant? >> We have been using plain old " Everclear " alcohol. It is a drinking alcohol that we make tinctures from. We get it from a liquor store. Just put it in a small spray bottle. There is never an odor build up like you get with regular deodorants. Odor is caused by bacteria and this certainly kills bacteria. If you have anyone in your house hold with an alcohol problem this would not be good to have around. I see no reason why you couldn't use a little EO afterward for a nice smell. There is none after the Everclear. Also no anti-perspirant in it.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Forgot the deoderant part. Almost all commerical deoderants contain some form of aluminum. I'd heard that that was associated with Parkinson's disease (now I hear not). As Parkinson's runs in my family, I hunted for an alternative. One I found contained witch hazel and apple cider vinegar. I forgot the other components and just use these two. Laura Finance - Get real-time stock quotes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 I've seen material correlating aluminum to Alzheimer's, not Parkinson's. This came about just from autopsy studies. It was found that the brains of many people who had Alz. had abnormal amounts of aluminum. No other study has exactly correlated aluminum use with Alz. or anything else, but that's because such a study would be highly unethical. Many brands of antacid pills also contain an aluminum compound as their primary ingredient, and it has been speculated that this is more of a factor in Alz. So far, this is speculation. However, in my studies of Harmonic Chemisty, it does appear that aluminum would be bad for the human body. Note how it resides just below Boron in the Periodic Table of the Elements. This is significant, because that entire column is poisonous. Why any chemist would release an aluminum compound for human consumption, knowing that, is too horrible to contemplate. The main correlation to Parkinson's appears at this point to be consumption of certain antidepressant drugs, specifically the benzodiazepines (Librium & Valium). There's a short essay on that subject on one of my web sites. If you have references to correlations between aluminum use and Parkinson's, i would like to see that.
