Hi, Ok so I am not an expert but I'll share my thoughts:

Since underarm sweat is the way for the lymph nodes to unload toxins, and bacteria cause the bad odor I'd been trying to find something that is both non-toxic and beneficial. had been feeling guilty about deodorant, inhibiting the body's cleaning processes and depositing toxins (aluminum)to be absorbed, further taxing the body's systems.

I have been using 3% hydrogen peroxide (foodgrade dilution)solution to spray my body (avoiding hair and EYES (very important)after or before showering and letting it air dry as is recommended by various posters here at Curezone. [great results by the way]

Then I thought Hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria, and is beneficial and alkalizing and generally a great ally to the body. Hard as it was not to reach for that deodorant, I tried just a couple more spritzes of the HP instead and let air dry before getting dressed [important so your clothes are not discolored]. So far it has been working great! Don't know if it will continue depending of where I go, but right now for my office environment, I have been fine!

Normally (I tried organic deodorants) I would have to give up [no smell but too much sweat, too short lived protection] and run to the restroom and add regular deodorant, and or the smell was just to sweet for me (don't like persisent odors of any kind)

It is the first time ever that I was able to go through whole entire days without giving in... So this may be worth a try... And it does not impede the lymph's work. Though no oversweating so far [one week].

As far as using acidophilous you can use safely while lactating. They are naturally existing beneficial bacteria in our system. (You can check with La Leche league to confirm)

Enjoy every millisecond with you little one - it goes so very fast!

Wow, if the HP gives you 8 hours, I'm sure you are grateful for at least that! I know what a few hours of being able to comfortable in your skin is....its a blessing.

So I did some research on the crystal rock deodorants...they are made mainly of salt, and like the research shows, salt has been used as a bacteria killing preservative in meats & canned foods for centuries.

The crystal deodorants are in rock form and you just get the surface of the rock wet and cover your underarm really well. It provides a layer on the skin that bacteria cant grow on. It really does the trick. I wouldnt see any problem with teaming it up with regular antiperspirant over top of it, just as long as you dont dilute or wipe off any of the crystal when applying. Try a spray deodorant, in unscented, so that when you do the sniff test over and over (which you know you will) you'll be able to smell either b.o. (hope not) or...ideally....nothing at all!

ps Ive gotten about 14 hours out of the crystal! IN A TANK TOP!!

you are lucky! i thought i still smelt good when i used the crystal rock thingy but apparently, people around me dont think so. and i have no idea why? perhaps it works for some people and not so for others?
