HEALTH MATTERS
Beware of Deodorants and Antiperspirants by Djehuty Ma'at-Ra
That's right, people! BEWARE of commercial brand deodorants and antiperspirants as they cause a host of health problems and concerns, and especially for females (which I'll explain later in the article).
Commercial brand deodorant and antiperspirant brands such as Ban, Arrid, Sure, Degree, Mennen, Old Spice, Right Guard, Suave, Dove, Jason, Body Mint, Brut, Dial Solid, Mitchum Solid, and Certain Dry to name a few are very harmful to your health because of their toxic ingredients.
The same is true of designer brand deodorants and antiperspirants such Calvin Klein, Gucci, Bulgari, Pierre Cardin, Polo, Hugo Boss, and Givenchy to name a few.
This is article will not tell you to stop using deodorant or antiperspirant because I/we (Dherbs.Com) recognize and respect individual free will. However, it will caution you to be very conscious when purchasing deodorant and antiperspirants should you choose to wear these products.
According to the Handbook of Over-The-Counter Drugs (1992 edition), "Concern over perspiration is practically a national preoccupation. Worry about wetness and underarm odor prompts Americans to spend more than $750 million annually on over-the-counter deodorants, deodorant soaps and antiperspirants."
Americans spend nearly $1 billion annually to mask the funk that is emitted from their armpits that is the result of poor diet and ignorance, though poor diet is usually predicated upon ignorance followed by conditioning.
It is the stench from rotted and decayed meat and other insalubrious things that people eat like dairy products (cheese, butter, ice cream, sour cream), refined grain and starches; and the plethora of junk foods and fast foods that are excreted from the body via the armpits (as well as the pores all over the body, especially people who just simply smell bad all the time).
And for the females, the above applies to your vagina which is why many females experience a stench or foul odor 'down there' as well.
The stench from the dead foods we eat will always manifest in the mouth (bad breath, halitosis), colon and rectum (via the stools), female vagina (foul smell, foul smelling discharge), the skin (via the pores), and the underarms (armpits).
What we eat even effect the smell of our sexual secretions. We truly are what we eat, whether what we eat is dead or alive.
But for purposes of this article, I will concentrate on the armpits exclusively.
God made our bodies to perspire. Perspiration is a totally natural function. The problem with perspiration in our world today is that people don't like the smell of their perspiration (and rightly so); but what people are smelling is the result of what is commonly eaten: DEAD FOOD! Absent poor diet in the majority of people, their perspiration would not smell bad.
Okay, so now we stink or smell bad under our arms (armpits) so what do we do, especially here in the good ole U.S.A? Answer: MASK IT!
We are professionals at masking problems and situations. If it stinks, simply mask or hide the smell. Don't eliminate the root cause or problem, simply mask or hide it. This is the general thinking with most people due to conditioning.
And how do we hide or mask things? Answer: deodorants and antiperspirants, feminine deodorant sprays, mouthwash, mints, chewing gum, air freshener, perfume and cologne, and cosmetics.
Masking smells has created numerous industries that make a fortune from selling masking agents that people, via massive conditioning, are dependent upon nowadays and simply cannot live without, or so they believe.
Perspiration is the equivalent of urinating via the skin. When we perspire, we are excreting and releasing toxins. Remember, the skin is the largest organ of elimination and your body will use the skin to eliminate, especially if your other channels of elimination ate taxed and impaired.
When we use deodorant, we are not affecting a bodily function. Basically, we are masking body odor with fragrance and targeting bacteria via antibacterial agents such as Triclosan.
However, for most people, masking underarm odor is not enough, and therefore, something else is needed, perhaps something that can inhibit the natural function of perspiration all together, like ANTIPERSPIRANT!
When you truly understand the function of the sweat glands, You learn how deleterious antiperspirant is. Antiperspirants work by irritating the skin to cause an inflammatory reaction accompanied by swelling and expansion of the cells around the sweat duct and it's opening to shrink. This reduces the amount of sweat that can get to the surface.
And not only this, what about the harmful chemical ingredients deodorants and antiperspirants contain that enter into the body from their use? Harmful chemicals such as: ALUMINUM CHLORIDE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, TRICLOSAN, ALCOHOL, ALUMINUM ZIRCONIUM TETRACHLORHYDREX-GLY, SODIUM SLIVER ALUMINUM SILICATE, STEARYL ALCOHOL, and UREA to name a few.
Propylene glycol is used in engine degreaser and other industrial products. It has no business in or on your body. NOTE: Anything that goes on your body enters into your body and enters your bloodstream.
Aluminum has an affinity for the brain and human pineal gland (our spiritual center) and large concentrations of toxic aluminum develop in these body parts. Aluminum has been implicated as the number one cause of Alzheimer disease.
Aluminum Chloride is an irritant and reacts with water in perspiration to form hydrochloric acid that causes irritation and reddened skin and will gradually fade or rot clothing! This is serious, folks!
Triclosan (a/k/a Irgasan DP 300) is a synthetic antibacterial made from petroleum. It is toxic and also a skin irritant.
Now consider all females who use antiperspirants and who wear bras. By causing the sweat ducts to shrink and thus inhibiting the secretion of sweat (which hold toxins) from the body via the underarms, the toxins stay inside the body, but because of the tight-fitting bras (especially wire strap bras), the toxins that would otherwise be excreted from the body if antiperspirant wasn't used, are now trapped in the breast area which is major lymphatic area. When females wear bras, especially tight-fitting bras, they are impairing lymphatic flow and when lymph is impaired, toxins accumulate and excess accumulation of toxins cause internal trash bags (cysts, tumors) to develop in an attempt to hold the toxins in a gesture to save or protect the body. But because many females remain unconscious and ignorant and keep wearing their bras and using antiperspirant and/or deodorant, the trash bags enlarge. This is why breast cyst and tumors and breast cancer is so epidemic today in American females.
You don't hear about males developing breast cancer to the same degree as females simply because males don't wear bras. The wearing of bras has to be the major difference when we deduce matters. Approximately 300+ males in the U.S. will develop breast cancer annually compared to hundreds of thousands of females.
Millions of American females are experiencing breast tumors, cysts, cancer, or some other breast disease such as Paget's disease, mastitis, and fibrocystic breast disease and bras and deodorants and antiperspirants play a major role in their development. The research has been performed and a good book on the subject is "Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras" by Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer.
All female breast diseases can be attributed to, at least in part, to the constant wearing of bras and the constant use of harmful deodorants and antiperspirants to mask body odor.
Carrying a heavy purse on one's shoulder also plays a role in inhibiting circulation and thus leading to particular breast- specific diseases. I'm glad to see purses have become smaller and compact and can be carried around in a female's hand instead of on her shoulder.
The breasts must not be contained so that there can be the necessary flow of the lymph and blood from head to toe.
Whether male or female, the underarm lymph nodes are impaired from the use of deodorant and antiperspirant. Lymph nodes are ducts that throw off toxins. When there is such a backup of toxins in the lymphatic system area of the chest, the nearby armpits suffer. The lymph nodes at the armpits become swollen and inflamed.
Ever felt a burning, tender soreness in your underarms? Ever developed a large and painful knot or lump (that lasts for days) in your underarms? This is the result of the deleterious chemicals in commercial brand underarm deodorants and antiperspirants which is why they should not be used.
In closing, there are a few good alternative brands of deodorants on the markets of good health food stores.
Good brands include Alvera (my personal favorite), Aubrey Organic (uses grain alcohol which is better than the petroleum-derived alcohols), and Avalon Organics to name a few. Tom's of Maine brand products are very suspect but are a better choice than most commercial brands of deodorant and toothpaste. Simply check the ingredients on the stick or roll-on.
Also beware of crystal stick deodorants. If the brand only contains mineral salts (i.e. 'Naturally Fresh' brand), you can take a chance. But just make sure "aluminum" is not an ingredient in any Crystal deodorant you purchase.
And because manufacturers are sneaky and tricky and only care about profits, make sure the crystal deodorant doesn't list "alum" as an ingredient. Alum is short for "aluminum", as in ALUM-inum (Alum + inum).
More healthy and alternative brands (and their websites) are listed in our Dherbs.Com "Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual" e-book.
Always remember to check the ingredients of any product you buy. If you are not now at present a conscious consumer, become one to save and/or prolong your life.
If you had to choose antiperspirant over deodorant, the wise choice would be deodorant, as deodorant doesn't affect a bodily function whereas antiperspirant does.
"But Djehuty, I'm using a natural deodorant but it's not strong enough!" This is a legitimate complaint I get from people from time to time, mostly females, and my retort to them is to work on the diet. You cannot eat organic, live, raw foods and simultaneously maintain good hygiene (bathing, washing) and have an odor problem.
"Djehuty, can I use essential oils for purposes of deodorant or fragrance under my arms?" Some oils could be used directly on the skin but a lot of them cannot and shouldn't due to causing skin irritation due their properties (and despite being natural). If you are going to use essential oils under your arms, make sure to first apply a carrier oil such as grape seed oil, coconut oil, or sweet almond oil and then apply the essential oil.
"Djehuty, do I have to use deodorant or antiperspirant?" Of course not, if you don't have an odor problem! I don't have to use deodorant nowadays because of my diet and lifestyle. I can go days without deodorant. However, it does help that I constantly bathe (see "Sea Salt Soak" article).
"Djehuty, should women stop wearing bras?" Well, at home they should. Going out in public is something different, another story. I don't think the majority of us males could handle looking at protruding nipples sticking out of women's shirts and blouses from damn near every female we see walking down the street, at the mall, at church, or on the job. We may start having flashbacks of when we were breastfed or if we weren't breastfed, our wish or desire that we were breastfed may resurface and we may start drooling at the mouth.
Of course I was just having some fun and joking around above because it is a woman's free will to wear what she wills. But just remember, ladies, that when you are beautiful and dress sexy and provocative, constant looks, stares, whistling, and cats (or 'dogs'?) trying to get at you comes along with the territory. You will be hollered at (approached, hounded) as a perceived bone in the midst of a pack of hungry wild dogs (males) lusting for a good meal or good piece of meat. Hey, it's the American way! But I'm trying to help change that!
To detoxify your body from all the past years of abuse and toxicity from using commercial brand deodorants and antiperspirants, I recommend detoxing your body (see "Full Body Detox") periodically, at least once a year but 2-4 times a year ideally (depending on your diet and lifestyle).
Carbon (activated charcoal) is a great substance to use to remove chemical toxins from the body. Carbon is a part of Dherbs Com's Full Body Detox. Individual herbs great for cleansing the lymphatic system include: Echinacea root, Goldenseal root, Octillo, Lobelia, Mulein Leaf, Red Root, Wild Indigo Bark, Chaparral, and Burdock Root to name a few.
If you are experiencing swollenness, redness, soreness, and/or inflammation (and in the form of a large lump) under the arms (armpits), immediately stop using deodorant/antiperspirant. Perform the "Sea Salt" soak. Apply Aloe Vera gel to the armpit area (throughout the day). Immediately perform a detox (7-day, 10-day, or 20-day cleanse) to facilitate healing. After you heal, only use a good brand of deodorant (i.e. Alvera).

GREEN PIECE
Green Living Tips for Today’s Young People In today’s ecologically conscious world, many smart young people are heeding the green living tips offered by parents and older peers. The benefits are clear. Eco-friendly products translate to huge cost savings and minimize harm to the environment. So how do today’s young people show they care for the environment? Let’s start with modern commuting trends. If you’re college-bound kid is not the lucky recipient of an environmentally friendly car (as a graduation or birthday gift), then chances are, he/she may be taking public transportation (which is good) or driving the traditional car. Don’t look now but ingenious minds have devised an online social rideshare and carpool matching system that uses a popular social networking site to hook riders up with drivers en route to a common destination. For the young ladies in the family who love to shop, green living tips they may have gravitated to include bringing their own eco tote bag so as not to amass more plastic bags than can be reused at home. In so doing, young gals (and their shopaholic moms, too) get to save lots of trees and keep plastic bags out of landfills. Young ones also contribute to resource conversation by keeping in mind other green living tips like taking quick showers, buying and using products – like organic cosmetics -- that do not contain synthetic substances, as well as clothes and accessories made of organic cotton or hemp. Switching off room lights and computer equipment (including the monitor) when not in use and going for green food options are likewise some of the ways to lessen the eco footprint.

SpotLight On Our Efforts
Take Back The Land
Take Back the Land was originally formed in 2006 as an anti-gentrification organization inspired by the Landless Workers' Movement in Brazil and the Western Cape Anti-Eviction Campaign in South Africa. The group built the Umoja Village in Miami in 2006, a shantytown on an undeveloped lot in support of the "black community's right to own land". Fifty homeless people lived in the village. After the village burned down in April 2007, the group moved 14 of the ex-residents into a warehouse. Max Rameau released a book detailing the experience entitled Take Back the Land: Land, Gentrification and the Umoja Village Shantytown. Partly due to overbuilding and speculation, Florida, and particularly Miami, have been affected by the housing crisis in the In September 2008, Florida had the second highest rate of foreclosures in the country. Take Back the Land moved the first family into an unoccupied house on October 22, 2007. By November 2008, it had opened up six houses, and by April 2009, the group had moved 20 families into foreclosed homes. ----- Coalition members!
