I have sensitive skin… and I stink. Here’s what I do…
-Shave my arm pits. Yup, not very masculine, but then again I’m uber fat so it’s not like I’m lounging around in a wife beater anyway.
-I use all natural, 100% biodegradable, free trade forever, not ever animal tested Castile Soap (thank you Dr.Bronner).
-I use Tom’s of Maine (ya, I know, Proctor & Gamble bought them out a while ago) Lemon Grass deodorant. At the end of the day, if I’ve been sweating and I lift my arm and stick my nose there – ya I smell me, but other than that I have no problems.

An amazing story about the crap chemicals & metals we pump into our body. My Aunt was having serious nervous system issues in early 1998. She went to the doctor, several tests, etc. and she was diagnosed with MS. Before taking the meds they were suggesting, she thought she would try this wholistic place that did “blood dark fielding” (or something like that) that basically does blood analysis.

They found huge amounts of metals in her blood. The woman told my Aunt, “You’re going to have to change your life, permanently, but if you do you won’t have to take those MS meds and watch your condition worsen.”

My Aunt followed her directions and changed her diet, and got rid of all of her household chemicals and hygiene products – cleaners, detergents, toothpaste, mouth wash, anti-persperants, shampoos, etc. She switched to all natural products.

That was 12 years ago, and when I see her (about twice a year) I always wonder how F’d up she’d be if she had taken the MS meds and continued to pump those metals/chemicals in her body.

My friend has MS. I know it can show up and vanish at any time, so maybe my Aunt just got lucky, temporarily… but I still wonder how healthy/happy she’d be if she had taken the meds.

I’m going to go eat a steer, drink a beer, and stress about dying.

This shall forever be known as “The Great BO Debate of 2010.”

Stink stinks. Sure, it’s not really hurting anything, but why endure it if you don’t have to? Why did humans ever try to cover up their b.o. in the first place? Because it stinks, and they have the ability to control it. I’m not conditioned. I’ve never liked things that stink. The very first times I visited an outhouse, drove by a stock yard, walked by a lawn fertilized with manure, drove by a rendering plant, walked into a bathroom someone just shit in, had cigarette smoke blown into my face, it made me cringe. Anyway, like I said, there probably are healthier alternatives to deodorant that still involve putting something on your pits. My point about dying is that I’m tired of hearing about new things every day that are bad for me. It gets tiring and expensive to keep changing my lifestyle to accommodate this constant stream of negative publicity.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to know, but there comes a point when you have to spend more time living than adjusting. No one is going to convince me that a more enlightened society has to be a smellier one. I’m sure we’re smart enough to control our b.o. without depleting our health.

I’ve said for years that if you ate nothing but corn you would have a shortened life.

Blank stares is all I ever get.
