Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Part of the problem of natural things not working is the bacteria that the typical deodorants trap onto your skin. Once that is cleaned off and healed (including bacteria and fungus) it may take a little time, the odor is gone or is much much less. Perspiration may still come, however, and that's natural and normal and needed so you DON'T get cancer. You don't want to suppress the perspiration. You want to rinse, wash it off. It's going to be unique for everyone, just like the typical brands are...try colloidal silver, vinegar, mineral salts or mineral gel, and see what you are most comfortable with, but make sure you've addressed the root issue of bacteria/fungus that has been trapped there for a long time. Clean with alcohol, peroxide, grapefruit seed, tea tree oil, etc - be careful - skin there is sensitive - do the cleansing before shaving preferably. It's a nice transition once it is successful and you don't have to think about aluminum anymore. A , " Steve McManus " <fmn wrote: > > Hi All!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 OK, I'll try this again. I am having trouble with lately (again). I use magnesium gel. It works great for me. I tried many other natural things but they didn't work for me. Most of us are mangesium defficient anyway so it's a great way for us to get some. I use the gel because magnesium oil full strength can burn slightly and the gel is not quite as messy. The oil can be diluted a little with water. Magnesium oil or gel is also great for aches and pains. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
