Avoid Dangerous Neurotoxins: Make Your Own Deodorant
While aluminum exists on the earth’s crust, it can be a poison in your body and serves no purpose there. Research identifies aluminum as a neurotoxin which has been found in high concentrations in the brains of people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. If you use antiperspirants or some deodorants, you are ingesting aluminum through your skin.
Aluminum salts can be found in over one-quarter of some antiperspirants. This becomes a serious problem when you consider that antiperspirants are applied daily or sometimes more than once daily. Over a number of years, the body has been exposed to a tremendous amount of aluminum.
Antiperspirants clog pores that release sweat from your arms. However, this blocking shuts down a major detoxification route and also raises concerns about where the metals are going once you roll or spray them under your arm.
In a bizarre accident in 1988, where a truck driver poured 20 tons of aluminum sulphate into a tank of drinking water, the powerful effects of aluminum were seen. Over 20,000 people in a small village were exposed to poison and developed a very rare type of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. These people also had high levels of aluminum in their tissues.
Alzheimer’s is not the only concern when it comes to commercial underarm hygiene products. Aluminum has also been linked to cancer. A study conducted in 2006 found that aluminum salts can mimic estrogen and increase the risk for breast cancer in women.
