A bit late I know. But this can save lives.

Give it up, stop suppressing the body's natural release of toxins and minimise the risk of breast cancer.

Anna...never too late for healthy advice.

New people join here all the time, who may not know, so thanks for the reminder.

Yes spread the word, I gave up about a month ago and one of my concerns was that I would smell - but I'm glad to say I don't (well not so anyone else would notice). - Had a few lumps come up since under each armpit but from reading other posts this seems to be normal.

I agree 100%! And, don't forget that Anti-Perspirants are even worse than deordorants, with regard to suppression.

Some of us here in the West use the Body Crystal - it is natural and does eliminate odors Since I use the the crystal, the endless itching under my armpits has stopped completely !

Congratulations everyone for taking another source of Aluminium out of your lives

I say give up wearing bras, too.I've never worn a bra in my life and mine have never fallen(breastfeeding 2 1/2 years as well). And how about shaving legs...might the blade have aluminum in it?

I think we went over this some time ago, but can someone please remind me again what's dangerous about deodorants? (I know that antiperspirants contain aluminum & suppress sweating, but deodorants?)
P.S.-Claudia, what's a Body Crystal?

RF -
It's a crystal-like looking stick made from mineral salts and ammonium alum. It is odor free and you use it by wetting the surface and applying like a deodorant stick. It does not contain any aluminium nor chlorohydrate nor other nasty stuff. It's quite spendy, about $5 / stick, but unless you drop it and it shatters, it'll last a very long time. (years). It's available in natural food stores here on the US West Coast.

I do beleive that crystals were not recommended either due to the Alum content. It constricts the pores thus suppressing sweat flow.
Linda...re: your lumps. Are you using baking soda? I got a lump from using too concentrated of baking soda...when I quit and used only a very dilute bit...it went away.
