People are going to start thinking I work for Garden of Life...
or Jordan Rubin...but I'm tellin' you the truth with my right hand in the air... I don't work for anybody but the Lord and my family! :-)

HOWEVER....I have had a frozen shoulder for 1 1/2 years...sometimes it was so bad, I could barely get dressed
without excruciating pain. It was even hard to comb my hair.
I'm not one to complain or whine. I always try to look at the
brighter side of things. So I was thinking, ok, this hurts...
but there are people with no arms that would LOVE to be
experiencing this pain and at least have arms.

My husband finally talked me into going to the chiropractor,
which did no good. I had resigned myself to thinking...ok,
this is one of my burdens I'll be carrying, so forget it and
move on....then I started taking Primal Defense for a tummy
disorder. And I just told my husband last week that it is
so weird, because so many little things I had wrong, that I
had resigned myself to living with, are now going away....
like, my thyroid problem is much better...hot flashes are
totally gone....and my frozen shoulder just "unfroze" itself.

I just can't say enough good things about Primal Defense.
In his book, Jordan says Primal Defense is for "overall good
health!" I'm beginning to believe it. kathryn
PS. Jordans Rubins books are The Maker's Diet and Patient
Heal Thyself..he has others, but I don't have those.....

Bill,

I too have had redness under my frozen shoulder arm. I saw my doctor and he prescribed a cream to use when it flared up. I've only used it a few times and it seems to have subsided. He advised to to use very mild soaps such as Dove and very mild underarm deodorants such as baby powder or Dove deodorant for sensitive skin. He told me to stay away from harsh and fragranced soaps, etc. He thinks in some way it could be connected to the frozen shoulder because I never had it before, and it was only under the side that was frozen. I hope this helps.

I also experienced a red underarm for a week or so. At the time my frozen shoulder was really frozen. I couldn't really open the armpit up. I had to force my arm up against the wall just to apply deodorant. During that time the pit gave off the usual odor times three.

Anyway, I remember using Old Spice regular (the round stick) and the same evening I noticed a red patch covering the entire armpit. A little darker around the border but otherwise a nice even dark pink. No bumps or rash.

Over the next seven or ten days, the color slowly faded, turned browner and then disappeared.

I am not sure what the problem was. The day before the redness appeared I had a DMSO injection in my shoulder. Another possibility was the alcohol from the deodorant didn't dry like usual with my restricted motion and then irritated the area.

I switched to crystal deodorant (ammonium alum) and couldn't be happier with it.
