Aluminum toxicity can cause brain disorders, respiratory disorders and cancer. the underarm area is loaded with lymph nodes and aluminum applied in this area is especially dangerous due to proximity to the breasts.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 - Thank you for the information. Where can you find deodorant that does not have aluminum in it? My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed 2 years ago with mild Aspergers and is now wearing deodorant....the kind she uses does contain aluminum.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Kirsten, It's the anti-perspirants that have the aluminum salts in them. Deodorants alone generally don't, although most commercial deodorants have a ton of other undesirable ingredients. You can find a bunch of good natural choices for deodorant at he health food store and online. Readily available brands include Aubrey Organics, Tom's of Maine, , Lafe's, Terra Naturals, Nature's Gate and Burt's Bees. > - > > Thank you for the information.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 If I may jump in, if you are concerned about PEG, Tom's of Maine has PEG. Careful reading of labels is important. At most online stores you can read the ingredients. We use Lafe's Unscented Roll On becuase it's PEG free. YVette A.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 PEG is just the tip of the iceberg. NOne of the ingredients should be preceded with methyl, ethyl, propyl, benzyl and butyl. These are called parabens and they are toluene derivatives, which is a toxic petrochemical compound. Parabens are believed to be carcinogenic, as they act like estrogen in animals and in tissue cultures. Triclosan is also dangerous. It's found in many anti-bacterial soaps and hand sanitizers as well, which people bought up like crazy during the recent fake flu " pandemic " . Triclosan is a pesticide, as it is classified by FDA, and if it comes in contact with the skin, it kills all the bacteria, good or bad, that live on the skin. Contact with triclosan may cause dermatitis and it is also believed that it contains some carcinogenic contaminants. Triclosan is stored in the body fat and not readily excreted. Other dangerous ingredient that can be found in deodorants is propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is a neurotoxin and it may cause kidney or liver diseases. Exposure to propylene glycol may also lead to allergies. Also, pay attention if one of the ingredients is steareth- " insert number " (there are a bunch of them. It reacts with ethylene oxide, which is carcinogen. It is best to go for deodorants that are made using natural preservatives like bioflavanoids, herbs or herbal extracts, de- ionized water or distilled water, green tea, aloe vera, baking soda and essential oils. > If I may jump in, if you are concerned about PEG, Tom's of Maine > has PEG. > Careful reading of labels is important.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Though, I have always been aware of the precautions of Aluminum, my family and I have used Mitchum deodorant for over 40 years. Having more than a DD cup, I also apply it beneath my breast. I am not saying there is no danger. I am just saying that it is the best solution to wetness we have ever found. I guess I would have to read the actual case studies to learn whether there is a real diagnosable link before I would consider a switch. I am guessing since Mitchum has been on the market for nearly 50 years, no one has made that link apparent.  ~~~Aggy Mother of 22 yr old Katy Diagnosed with PDD(nos) Grandmother to Katy's daughter Isabella Gail ________________________________ To: Autism_in_Girls_and_Women Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 10:45:56 AM Subject: RE: Re: Kirsten/Deodorant - Thank you for the information.

Sadly, lots of personal care and health products fall into this category. About 1/3 of them contain at least once known toxin or carcinogen, and although clear links do exist, they are not " made apparent " to the general public. All we can do is the best we can with the information we are able to obtain and then make decisions accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Anti-persoirants block sweat glands preventing detoxification and this is not healthy. The best thing to do is absorb the sweat once it leaves the body. I do this with a combination of cornstarch, kaolin clay and arrowroot powders in combination with deodorant ingredients (baking soda, coconut oil and essential oils). > Do you, or anyone else here, know of a good, natural solution to > perspiration?
