Dove is my favorite brand but I hate putting all that aluminum and other junk on my skin. The crystal stick absolutely does not work for me and Tom's of Main rips up my skin. Does anyone have any recommendations? :)

Which Tom's of Maine did you use? I tried the stick but found the roll-on to work best. I also use an Adidas Aluminum-Free deoderant too that works pretty well. You can ck it out here: Open Original Shared Link Not "all-natural" but aluminum free which is important...

OH-and I just wanted to add... I used to use Dove's deoderant for years, and I always got these lumps/bumps in my armpits that would get very very sore. I guess they were clogged pores that became irritated...most likely not lymph glands. Anyway--since I stopped using Dove I haven't had any of those bumps--not even one!

Thanks! I was using Tom's of Main apricot scented stick. Maybe I'll try the roll-on. And yeah, that does seem to happen to me with the Dove too. Interesting...

"Kiss My Face" has a good deodorant. And Trader Joe's has one that's made with cotton fibers (I'm at work or I'd tell you the name). Don't know if you have TJ's down there.

the crystal works for me, but it's not an anti-perspirant at all,only stops the bacterial smell.

No problem. Some deodorants might contain gluten. I was specifically looking for all-natural gluten-free deodorants...and yeah I'm worried about the antipersperants causing cancer too.

I don't know how all natural it is, but Adidas makes a cotton based deoderant that is aluminum free. My best friend uses it and loves it, and most deoderants don't work well for her.

I just have to announce that I finally found the best "natural" deodorant. Yay. Aubrey Organics E Plus High C is awesome. Yes, it is sad that I'm excited about a deodorant related discovery, but I was about to resort to the nasty aluminum stuff again before I found this one :) The grain alcohol in it is derived from corn, and the stuff acutally works for me, unlike every other natural deodorant out there that either tore up my skin or made me smell worse :rolleyes:

I LOOOOVE Open Original Shared Link Clear Enzyme deoderant

I have used it since college and it actually keeps me so much dryer than Secret used to. No aluminum, no ruined yellow clothes! It's great.

I make my own. It's a two step spray and powder. I think it works as well as any alum containing deodorant and you have the advantage of scenting it to compliment your own scent and style. I love rose and sandalwood together on my skin, for example. Here is my recipe :)

I designed this deodorant spray as a more natural alternative to commercial products, and it was created with the intention of using with the powder (recipe to follow) on a daily basis. Together, I find the spray and powder will rival any standard deodorant brand I’ve tried!

Ingredients:

# 1 oz Vodka (80 proof or higher)

# 1 oz distilled water

# 6 drops of rose oil (or other essential oil)

# 4 drops of sandalwood oil (or other essential oil)

NOTE the vodka is only used to mix the oil and can be drying to some skin types. Some enjoy that effect. You don't have to use it, but if you opt not to use it you should use distilled water and make small batches to prevent mold growth or other bacteria. Use a CLEAN container.

Directions:

Mix vodka and essential oils together in the 2 oz spray bottle until oils are well blended. Add water and shake well. If your skin is too sensitive for the alcohol in this product, just make a small batch with distilled water instead and shake very well before each use as the oils will separate if there is no alcohol being used.

Some oils can be harsh on the skin if used in too high of a concentration, so please read the warning indications and test a small sample of your product before using or giving as gifts. Be especially aware using oils if you are pregnant, suffer health problems, have allergies and always use quality products for personal care.

Free Recipe: Deodorizing Body Powder

to be used with the deodorant spray listed seperately

# Ingredients:

# 8 oz arrowroot powder

# 2 oz white clay

# 1 oz cornstarch

# 1 oz baking soda

# 5 drops rose essential oil (or other essential oil)

# 4 drops sandalwood essential oil. (or other essential oil)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together well with a fork until blended. Makes 12 oz

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      Early guidelines from years ago concerning D3 supplementation was unduly conservative. There was fear of toxicity in over-supplementing because D3 is a fat soluble vitamin and not a water soluble vitamin. More recent studies have shown we can supplement safely at considerably higher levels for extended periods. But yes, 50,000 IU would not be safe over an extended period of time. That much is a kick start dose.

      @knitty kitty I had an injury from assuming I could do work outs at the gym like I did in my 20s 😏. it didn’t work in my favor. My orthopedic doctor told me to go on 50,000IU /per week for 4-6 weeks for a boost and then do a maintenance. I took 2 and got nervous to take any more, it seemed so high to me. About 7  months later I had a blood test revealing that my Vit D levels are lower than normal. I started taking vit D supplements-4000IU./a day now. (the natural garden of life ones) I had a friend whose levels were low and she was having a mental breakdown.  My B12 levels were right in the middle of the range.

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies, besides iron?   Celiac disease causes inflammation which results in nutritional deficiencies.   Iron needs Thiamine and the other B vitamins to make new red blood cells.   Iodine and thiamine deficiencies affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is one organ that uses lots of thiamine.   Vitamin D deficiency leads to hormonal problems, including menstrual problems.  Vitamin D needs Thiamine to activate it.   Heart palpitations and chest pain after gluten exposure can be evidence of poor digestion and a drop in available thiamine.  Consumption of any  foods high in carbohydrates can cause a drop in thiamine.  This is called high calorie malnutrition. Anxiety, numbness, tingling, acne, and brain fog are symptoms of Thiamine and the other B vitamin deficiencies.  There's eight B vitamins that all work together in concert.  They are water soluble.  They can be hard to absorb by inflamed intestines.  Vitamin A can improve acne. I suffered from all the same symptoms which only resolved with B Complex and Thiamine (in the forms TTFD and Benfotiamine) supplements, Vitamins D, A and C.  Magnesium, Thiamine and B6 Pyridoxine will get rid of the nightmares. Replenishing your vitamin and mineral stores will help heal and feel better faster.  Talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing. Think about adopting the Autoimmune Protocol diet to help with SIBO and MCAS to reduce bloating and heal the intestines. @Alibu and I were just discussing diagnosis without obvious villus damage here.   This study followed people who showed no or little villi damage at first....they accrued more damage over time. Outcomes of Seropositive Patients with Marsh 1 Histology in Clinical Practice https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4980207/ There's a move to be less reliant on endoscopy for diagnosis.

      Confused About Results

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Okay, Thank you!! I already have thyroid problems and my total iron binding capacity is high which usually means low iron but everything else was normal, lower end but “normal” my hair falls out and my nails won’t grow without breaking but nothing is being treated iron wise.  I have started having palpitations and chest pain,  both of which seem to be attributed to exposure to gluten. I’ve also been having a lot of nightmares, anxiety, numbness and tingling, brain fog, spotting between cycles and acne. Idk if all those are relatable to gluten / celiac but I’m concerned  I’ve finally tipped my body/ immune system into a bad place. Is there anyway to detox and heal faster or treat these symptoms if related to gluten ?

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @Alibu, Start with this study... High-dose thiamine supplementation improves glucose tolerance in hyperglycemic individuals: a randomized, double-blind cross-over trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23715873/ "Conclusion/interpretation: Supplementation with high-dose thiamine may prevent deterioration in fasting glucose and insulin, and improve glucose tolerance in patients with hyperglycemia. High-dose thiamine supplementation may prevent or slow the progression of hyperglycemia toward diabetes mellitus in individuals with impaired glucose regulation." They used 100 mg of thiamine three times a day.  They don't say which kind of thiamine was used.  Benfotiamine is my recommendation because it has been shown to promote intestinal health and helps with leaky gut and SIBO.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine and TTFD are safe and nontoxic even in higher doses.   The old "gold standard" diagnosis is changing.  It must be confusing for doctors as well.  I went through all this myself, so I understand the frustration of the vagueness, but set your course and watch as your health improves. Keep us posted on your progress!   P.S. here's another link.... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39642136/
