I shudder to think how long I managed to stick with using these unnatural deodorants on and off since my teenage years together with the natural deodorants! Thirty plus years!!! So I made the determination not to use any antiperspirants since I've not really found any to work for me and not get any BOs from them!
I am using a crystal deodorant with natural potassium alum and not the symthetic form of the ammonium alum. I am currently using Tom's of Maine but will switch due to the Propylene Glycol to the Terra Naturals which do not have any. There are pros and cons with the Propylene Glycol whether or not it poses any dangers. So let's see how Terra Naturals will work when I get them! I understand that Terra Naturals may support the Lymph health which is important for me.
I have had pretty much 100% success with the crystal deodorants followed with the Tom's of Maine, except for the two days during my menstrual cycle where I must've released tons of toxins! Also the first three days I used the Crystal and Tom's, I released a lot of toxins. That's five days of BOs and I've been using these natural deodorants for four weeks now.
Plus I also have been doing what is called daily cleansing with lemons, flaxseed oil, magnesium, etc. I should say I don't do this daily, but several times a week. I've had good results. Diet-wise I try to eat healthy.
Can anyone tell me how long do the unnatural antiperspirants take to get out of the body? I could start thinking about taking supplements for heavy metal detoxs to get the excess aluminum out together with other metals that have likely accumalated in the body. I have no mercury in my mouth since having gone through the dental cleanup about ten years ago.
Take care... :-)
