Non-aluminum Dedorant

Hello all. I am wanting to switch to a non-aluminum dedorant but I don't want to spend the money on one that doesn't work. I figured that someone may have some insight?

Any suggestions?

I use 2--one is a Tom's of Maine all natural deoderant. The 2nd is an aluminum-free Adidas. It works pretty well. Go here to see it: Open Original Shared Link

I've tried ALL of them LOL. The one that works best for me so far is Aubrey Organics E Plus High C. It's a roll on. Aubrey Organics makes a spray that's supposed to work pretty well too. Everything else I tried (Tom's of Maine, Nature's Gate, Crystal Stick etc.) made me smell worse. <_<

A lot of people have great luck with the crystal stick. It did not work for me though.

Funny you should bring this up! Last week, I started using a crystal deodorant--the only ingredient is mineral salts. You wet it, and rub it on. It dries almost immediately, and that's it. It is pretty warm and humid here right now, and it lasts right up until I take a shower the next morning--that's better than the conventional deodorant I was using! I have to thank Tiffany (Tarnelberry) for answering all of my questions about this a while back--it took me a while to try it, but now that I have, I love it. Also, there are no white marks or staining of any kind on my clothes--I wore a navy blue sleeveless top, and at the end of the day, there was not a mark on it.

I have been using the mineral salts deoderant for MANY years and love it. Someone I know, had just asked last Thursday about it as they also wanted to stop the aluminum kind. I got mine at a health food store.

It's just a deoderant though right?

I use Kiss My Face Liquid Rock, it's a deoderant.

You mean as opposed to an antiperspirant? Then yes.

Yes, I'm sorry jersey, having some power issues here and I couldn't get back on to edit.

Also, just in general to sdore, if you take the aluminum out then you are left with just deoderant. Aluminum is the active ingredient in deoderant/antiperspirants that blocks the pores/sweat glands in your armpits keeping you dry. Someone can correct me if I am wrong on that.

That's true. From what I understand though, the Adidas deoderant uses cotton so it still has antiperspirant qualities. Like little miniature pads for your armpits :lol:

I use Tom of Maine deodorant but I found it only covered me for about 6 hours and then I would start smelling like sweat so I also have other deodorant that is not natural:( ...I like the natural stuff

Exactly the same problem I had with Tom's. My husband uses it now with no odor problems. I prefer natural ones too. But I bought Adidas non-aluminum just to try it out.

I recenlty tried Adidas too. It worked well for about a week or so, then my skin turned bright red and started peeling off!

It does "stink" hehe. I think my skin is abnormal or something. Tom's gave me major problems too, but most people use both brands with no issues. Oh well...

Holy Adidas problem! I got a rash from Tom's too around the time that it stopped working.

I just came across some information that said when you first start using aluminum-free natural deodorants, your skin detoxes for several days, which can cause a strong odor. I wonder if this is true. Does anyone know? I'm wondering if some of the natural brands seem like they don't work so well in the beginning for this reason....

Can someone explain to me why aluminum deodorant would be bad for you?

I don't know--I'd never heard that. (Good thing, or I may not have tried the crystal!). In my case, I had never used anything except regular deodorant/antiperspirant before. The crystal worked for me right away--it actually lasts longer than the regular for me. Which brand did you try?

Mine seem to work in the beginning and then after a few weeks they don't work anymore. Who knows. I'll keep experimenting.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
