Giving up aluminum laden anti-perspirants
in favor of cleaner products
will take out a chunk of your daily toxic load immediately.
Aluminum is a ubiquitous material, found in our soil, air and water supplies naturally. That does not mean it is good for your body. In fact, we know with certainty that aluminum leaves a trail of illness.
The problem is that aluminum has now infiltrated manufacturing, vaccines, medicines, antacids, antiperspirant, cosmetics and our food supply via processing, frozen meal trays, foil and cans. With so much casual access to sources of aluminum, we need to take a look at our exposure and limit what we can limit.
Problem #1 is antiperspirant. All antiperspirants contains aluminum, a known neurotoxin. You faithfully apply it to your underarm which houses your lymph nodes giving easy access to your circulatory system. Your skin absorbs the aluminum along with the product and any other chemicals it holds. When there is more toxicity than the body can safely detox, it will be stored in the body which is a recipe for illness somewhere is your future.
The quick fix is easy. Just stop using antiperspirant, but the change is not seamless.
We've gotten used to being sweat-free and deodorant just will not do what a toxic product can do when it comes to keeping you dry, so you have to choose. If you can get used to sweating naturally a homemade deodorant will keep you odor free and that is a really easy start to cleaning up your body.
