Botox for the underarm?
Posted by: | Comments
I recently read a blog post about how to stay dry during the upcoming summer months. Specifically, about how to keep your underarms dry. Now I know it is about to get really hot and most people get uncomfortable being all sweaty and sticky. I’m not a big fan either. So someone came up with using botox in the underarm to stay dry. Apparently it lasts for 4 months and works really well. But I have a problem with this. Who knows what the long-term effects of this chemical is and as I have mentioned before in earlier posts, you are supposed to sweat. It’s the body’s way of getting rid of toxins that we are constantly taking in. What goes in, must come out. If the toxin path is blocked, where do they go? They are retained and absorbed into the body. I believe this is what causes disease. This concerns me greatly. People shouldn’t be afraid of their own bodily functions. This summer, let the sweat flow! Or if this idea makes you shudder, use a great effective natural deodorant made by Real Purity. No toxins, no problems.
What do you think of using Botox to stop from sweating? Comments are welcome!
Dangerous deodorants
Posted by: | Comments
Like many people, for years I used deodorant without thinking about the ramifications. I assumed it was safe because it was available to me. When I found out what it contains and how it affects you, I was astounded!
Aluminum is a toxin found in most commercial deodorants and anti-perspirants. National health organizations have reported a link between aluminum and diseases such as brain disorders and cancer. Because the deodorant is applied to the underarm, the toxin goes directly into the lymph nodes and breast tissue. This is a very scary thought. Why do they put aluminum in deodorant if it contributes to disease? After over 2 years of organic living, I’m still asking myself this today.
So as you walk down the deodorant aisle of your favorite discount store, you are bombarded with hundreds of aluminum filled toxic products. What to use?? Stay tuned to find out!
To sweat or not to sweat?

I used to have a sweating problem. Yes, I admit it, as embarrassing as it may be. I even went to a dermatologist to see if I could get a prescription strength deodorant. I used it for a while, but it was severe and dried my skin out (it had a high aluminum content, the principal drying ingredient and a very dangerous toxin, as well.) But for years prior to that, I used regular deodorant like anyone else. I never thought that maybe, just maybe, I shouldn’t be stopping myself from sweating. Now I know differently.
Sweating is the body’s natural way of releasing toxins. When sweating is inhibited, the body retains the toxins, potentially causing lymph node and sweat gland problems. It never occurred to me that my body was trying to release toxins as I was overweight, ate very poorly and used toxic beauty products. Only until I educated myself did I realize that sweating is good!
