The Dangers of Deodorant

Making a conscience decision to end your relationship with your tried & true deodorant is risky business if you tend to be a sweater, which I have been my entire adult life. Sweating stinks, plain & simple. Not being able to wear silk, also stinks. Wondering if there are stains under your arms, equally awful. Finding a deodorant that works can be a time consumer & costly. My most recent relatioship: Dove Clinical Protection (about $8.00) in the orginal clean scent or lack of scent to be my preference, is over. How many times for how many reason have I given up deodorants, the reason is the main ingredient in 98% of all deodorants on the market: aluminum-based compounds.

Some of the accusations against this main ingredient are: memory loss, cancer, osteoporosis and the horrid list goes on..if you question me, just google it. The latest claim that using this type of deodorant can prevent my body from absorbing calcium, hence, brittle bones or worse.

It is again time to hunt down a product that prevents sweating, smelling & embarrassment without the risk of killing me. Crystal. There is a brand recommended by doctors, as per my sister-in-law who no longer wears aluminum based deodorants, yes, she has had breast cancer, she suggested Crystal to me over the holidays. I am now using it with contented results. Save yourself, your health, your body's right to avoid dangers that are lurking most everywhere by changing one tiny part of your morning routine, if you have not already. Not only is Crystal free of aluminum, it also states it has a hypoallergenic fragrance & is paraben free (we would need a whole other article for this assailant), endorsed by Cancer Treatment Centers, safe for the environment & made from natural mineral salts, oh, and it actually works!

More Promises From the Rain Forest: Camu Camu Liquid Drops

There is always that friend who turns you onto the newest latest healthiest make you feel good product. For me, this friend is Marie. We have been friends for 20 plus years & she never ceases to inspire me on a higher plane. She has always been on target & ahead of the curve when it comes to holistic/homeopathic/spiritual ways of looking at the world with the knowledge of knowning Mother Natures best kept secrets. Since my dear friend has been looking so radiant, she swears it is not sex, I feel compelled to inquire the source of this new found energy. She calls me in close, whispers into my ear, "it from the floor of the rain forest,it's natural, it's organic, would you like to try some?"

She has hooked me with this inside wisdom that I too can be rejuvenated by drops of liquid Camu Gold. I now have been feeling better than usual since leaving our visit together with my very own 1oz elixir of Camu Camu. It is running out, worry sets in to where I shall replace my new lifeline, but no longer anxiety...thank you nectar of health gurus, your secret is safe with me.

How I've been impacted by trees from the Amazon is truly remarkable: happier, lighter, healthier mind, spirit & body, less negative thoughts & this is just for starters. I need to continue with this new remedy, two weeks is simply not enough.

Will add a link soon to where you too can find these amazing Amazon products.

Fix Your Diet~Fix Your Life...with Superfruits

The hazard symbol for highly toxic substances ...Image via Wikipedia
We are exposed to toxic chemicals most everywhere we turn, even if we are attempting to go green.  It takes time to convert even 50% of our lifestyles, years perhaps.  Where are these chemicals we might ask?  Well for instance I just ordered a pair of boots (very very good price) for this upcoming winter season.  When I took them out of their box (from China), they stunk, really smelled bad!  They are still in their box w/ a crack to air them.  Three months later they still stink & still very badly.  Because I purchased them during the summer, at such a good price, from an online retailer, there is no chance of returning them~because they stink. Perhaps a stay outdoors might help with their issues? The reason for their odor: chemicals, God knows what sort.  All I know is, if around them too long, my head begins to hurt.  I was in a shop recently w/ 99% of their inventory from Asia (you know which country), I had to leave for the toxic fumes in the air where deadly, I felt for the staff working there~Old Navy.  What I am getting at, is these newly introduced chemicals as well as the old standards are all around us, in our bedding, foods, clothing, water & so on. 

One more simple way to help our bodies be better while even fighting off some of this chemical exposure: Superfruits!  Here are a few to try: acai, goji, noni & mangosteen & rich in vitamin A~kale.  Would love to know how you incorporate them into your day to day diet?  Let us know...
