Bad body odor
I have visited this site several times this year and found some excellent information for my own personal use and it's my turn to give. I have suffered for many years with strong odor of the armpits and sometimes genital area as well. I've struggled with my Internal Medicine MD and GYN MD to find a solution for years and the conclusion of both doctors is I need to drink more water which has not helped me at all. I've tried herbal cleansing, colon cleansing, I've tried the master cleanse, deodorants, soaps, scrubs etc, etc, etc, and found no solution. I went to a Chiropractic MD who also specializes in alternative medicine and he suspected adrenal dysfunction and prescribed some very expensive alternative-type herbs and pills wich not only did not help at all, I had to discontinue one because although I informed him I am vegetarian the pill he rxd contained bovine and porcine (wich I found out is beef and pork :). On my own trying to watch my weight and tone my skin I discovered Cinnamon. I began noticing I was having "miraculous" days of NO ODOR ISSUES. Finally I realized when I would take the cinnamon supplement I would have no odor problem - AT ALL. I tested it out and sure enough I am odor problem free. I took the new info. to my Internal medicine doctor ecstatic and hoping she would know what type of problem I have that causes this odor issue since I had finally found the cure myself. Unfortunately my doctor just sniffed me and said if anyone told me I had a smell (which has happened all my life) to tell them my doctor sniffed me and has a sensitive nose and she doesn't think I smell. I still haven't figured out what type of problem it is that I have but I just want to spread the word about Cinnamon to others who are suffering who this could help. I personally have been taking 2 500mg capsules QD and I take one in the a.m. with food or drink and then one in the afternoon around lunch. I really hope this can help alot of people who are suffering with odor issues.
