Idk, maybe I’ll see about going to an endocrinologist or someone more well versed to get armour. I’ve been putting that off for a while now. I don’t know much about the thyroid stuff, or why natural should be better than synthetic in any case. I also think I have a problem with anal odor (with messy cleanup and watery, soft stools), although every doctor I’ve seen and every family member I have has denied it. So either I’m crazy or everyone that shouldn’t is lying. Thinking that I’m crazy just isn’t acceptable. It’s also too good to be true, as insane and ironic as that might sound ...

I like your posts a lot. Better than some of the scams I see promoted on this site, anyway. I have problems with liquidy stool, lacking feeling of complete evacuation, and using a good deal of toilet paper to clean up. Also I’m pretty sure it smells down there, like feces. I get clear signs from people, but my p-doc keeps telling me there’s no smell, and that I’m crazy. Every doctor and medical professional has said the same thing. So alkaline foods? What would those be?   [End]

I’m thinking now about doing a water fast, but I have many misgivings. I would hate to starve myself as my metabolism is being treated with levathyroxine (hypothyroidism), and it seems reckless to screw around with that. Maybe someone here could give me something to show my doctor, so I can do it with her supervision? I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t know much about fasts or anything of that kind, so I’ll need to give her some info.   [End]

I have a question for you, personally. Can you actually smell your own odor? I’m still trying to figure out whether or not I’m crazy. I can’t smell myself, and all the people who should tell me if I do say I don’t. And I’ve rarely run across people who will tell me straight out that I smell.   [End]

I’m not sure where the odor (if it exists) is coming from. I’ve gone to my primary care physician and she said she didn’t notice anything, so it might just be that I’m crazy, or she’s lying. If it’s a metabolic disorder like yours, maybe I could see some endocrinologist.   [End]

Alright, so I’ve had this belief since I was about eighteen or so, that I smell, and that I make everyone around me uncomfortable. I’m sure you all are familiar with the signs. Sniffing, coughing, sighing, people complaining of headaches and not being able to concentrate, and various cues of respiratory distress. I understand that sometimes, these signs have nothing to do with me. But when I hear them from just about every person I meet, I have to wonder if I’m the source of at least some of it. I’ve asked everyone who should be telling me the truth. None of them will tell me that ...

Everytime I’ve confronted people about my body odor, they’ve either acted like I was crazy or stupid. I wouldn’t advise it, based on my own experiences.   [End]

What was it that you thought helped your body odor? Just curious. I don’t think this body odor problem we all seem to be having would be cured by anything less than a complete overhaul of our lifestyles. Don’t waste any energy on being disappointed in individual supplements. No one thing will cure this problem.   [End]

Is well water alright? If not, how do I ensure that the water I’m drinking is distilled? I don’t have to go out and buy it do I? At 5 liters a day, that’d be crazy.   [End]

I’m no expert, but I’ll go ahead and reply. I pretty much have the same problem, although no one has ever had the guts to approach directly me about it. Be thankful that you’re at least getting honest input. I would advise you to change your eating habits. That’s a safe enough place to start. Be adamant with yourself. Identify foods that are unhealthful for you, and avoid them. Identify foods that are healthful, and seek them out. It’s more difficult if you have to go to some restaurant where all of the food is basically garbage, but I have a feeling this won’t problem if your ...

Aside from the drastic surgury to remove the sweat glands, you sound pretty much like me (save for the vaginal issues...), right down to the weird, occasional nasal smells. However, I find olfactory reference syndrome a little hard to swallow. Everything about everyone else’s body language and murmured comments confirms my belief. To tell you the truth, I’d rather belief that I stink rather than think my interpretation or perceptions of the way people communicate are out of whack. What a hell it must be not to trust your own eyes, ears and/or mind... But in your case, if that’s wh ...

Hi all. I’m brand new to cleansing, and wanted to start with something that seemed relatively easy (i.e. Oxypowder). Basically, I have a body odor problem (among others) that I believe is linked to my sluggish bowel function, so I wanna clear that up. Problem is, I’m not supposed to make prolonged use of laxatives with my thyroid medication... Does Oxypowder fall under this category? Are there any other hypothyroidism sufferers out there who have taken Oxypowder successfully? I tried increasing my fiber intake by having a salad everyday, but that hasn’t really improved the quantit ...

I haven’t smelled it myself and don’t know exactly what kind of odor it is. My guess, from everything I’ve heard spoken behind my back, is that it’s some sort of fecal smell that gets stronger when I perspire. And people seem to react more strongly when they’re behind me, so it’s prolly, mostly centered around the anal area. As for the mannerisms, I’ve experienced pretty much the same ones that you have. I won’t go into too much detail, as I’m sure you’ve had similar experiences. All considered, it seems way too much of a coincidence for this to be a psychological issue, thinkin ...

Hi all. Let me start by saying that I think I have regular hygiene habits. I take a shower every day, use soap and a washcloth, use deodorant, wash the clothes I wear before I go out, and brush my teeth. I am a bit overweight and tend to sweat excessively, but I don’t think my odor problem is external in origin. People seem to notice it even when I’m not sweating very much. I’ve had this problem for over five years now (since I was eighteen and in 12th grade.) and it’s pretty much ruined my life since then. I don’t mean to whine or pity-fish here... Just to state a fact. How any ...

A little bit of history: I had this dream almost exactly two years ago. Ever since then, I’ve had serious brain fog. Although I’ve adjusted to it since then, I still feel stupid/lost/confused when I compare myself to most other people. People in general seem to pick up on my mental handicap and label me a retard just by my looks/mannerisms/speech. I have a case of social anxiety as well, so maybe that factors into this dream somehow. Also, on the summer before, I had a nervous breakdown when I tried getting into college. I just couldn’t handle being in the same room with so many ...

I can very much relate to what you said about not trusting the people you ask to tell you the truth about whether or not you smell. I’ve asked a few people straight out (Haven’t had the guts to put the question to strangers like you have, though...) and every one of them tells me that they don’t smell anything. And yet, everyone else’s body language and mannerisms tell me that they do. It’s hard to envision what being in public would be like without the smell, but I’ll definitely be paranoid even when it’s gone (if it ever goes away). Unlike you, I never smell myself, because I’ve neve ...

Hello Shelley and friends, I was going to include some speculations as to what caused my various conditions, but figured that it’d just be nonconstructive and pointless. Instead, I’ll see if you can hazard a guess based on my own observations. It’s hard to pinpoint a time in my life when things began going out of order with regards to my health. In early and middle childhood, I did have a tendancy to get strep throat once or twice every year, but that’s it with regards to any serious medical conditions. I never had any major dental work, surgury, or taken antibiotics (with the ex ...

I’ve been hearing from sites on candida and this board that sugar can rapidly turn into alchohol when a person has a candida infection. I’m just wondering, because this would answer a question I’ve had, if all of that alchohol could build up a tolerance to actual alchoholic beverages... Because when I drank for pretty much the first time on my 21st birthday, I downed about five screaming nazis within the space of 30 minutes, and was barely phased. This could also have to do with my body weight (250), but I figure, even then, that it’s at least enough to make me incoherent.   [End]

Hi... I also suffer from body odor (supposedly, I can’t smell it myself.) and, like you, my family (even some members of my immediate family, who aren’t living with me) insists that it doesn’t exist. So, at least for me, it can’t just be that they’re used to it, unless they got desensitised to it when they were growing up with me (Although, I don’t think I had the odor then.). It also seems that everyone (outside of my family) who I outright ask (such as my doctor) says that they can’t smell me. It’s very frustrating, because 90% of people gives me every indication (short of actually co ...

I’ve been dealing with body odor problems since my senior year of high school (four years ago). Although I don’t smell a thing myself, everyone around me (with the exception of my family) gives me every indication that I do have body odor. For the past two years, I’ve also had increasing troubles with brain fog, and for about a year have had this musty smell in my nose (that comes and goes periodically). I heard about a test for candida (the one where you spit into a glass in the morning) and saw two or three strands of white stuff. I haven’t been officially diagnosed or tested by a do ...
