Question:
About a year ago I noticed discoloration under one of my arms so I quitusing deodorant for a few weeks to see if it would go away & it did.Thinking it might be the brand I was using I switched to something else.Well, a few weeks after I did, the discoloration returned. Then Iswitched to a natural brand, it cost about 4-5 times more but I haven'thad any discoloration since. Cancer runs in my family so I'm cautious,one of my Grandmothers died of cancer and it was under her arm where itwas first noticed. I checked the ingredients on the commercial brand &it contained Propylene Glycol which is used in anti-freeze & preservingwood, not exactly what you want to put under your arm. There aredifferent types of natural deodorants on the market. I use the disolvedcrystal roll-on type by Kiss My Face I'm happy with it so I'm stickingwith it, I'm sure most of the other natural brands (if not all) are goodalso. This is not an ad for any specific brand name but I am definitelybeginning to be more inclined for natural products in general. IMO mostof the big corporations have proven time & time again that they couldcare less if we live or die, they just want to sell product.

Any comments on this???

Answer: The deodorant I use made by Kiss My Face, is called Liquid Rock. It sayson the back label that the aforementioned Co. "has succeeded inliquefying crystal deodorant stones which are 100% effective inpreventing body odor". The ingedients are:water,potassium alum (naturalmineral salts), lichen & white willow barkextract,hydroxyethylcellulose,methylparaben & propylparaben. If anyoneis aware of anything bad about any of these ingredients pleasepost.There are other natural types availiable with different ingredients& one can always go without also. The French think we're all nuts forusing deodorants anyway & as a kid I don't remember using them at alluntil Right Guard came along, then the industry brainwashed us intothinking that body odor is taboo.

Alum is just another form of aluminium. Does anybody know if this is this stillimplicated in Alzheimers?
