Re: TOTD 8-6 Body Chemistry and Scent...And Ethnicity...?

Sounds like me. I was the Walking Mosquito Bite when I was a kid.

Seriously, they'd be so close together, they'd sort of become on giant

welt. And I'd swell up terribly.

-----

I know exactly how that feels, my son and I always seem to be targeted by those

pesky buggers where ever we go. I have since I was a kid (from Hawaii

originally, so you can imagine). My relatives always used to say that I have

" sweet " blood which attracts them. It's funny though as it tends to be erratic.

One day my son and I were sitting in the car at the drive in and I came home

with over 2 dozen welts whereas he only had a couple; then another time it was

the complete opposite.

I think our unique body chemistry does play a factor in what we emit and does

definitely effect the way a fragrance reacts via heat and chemical composition,

not necessarily ethnically, but individually (however, if if helps you out, I'm

of mixed descent filipino, portuguese, chinese, russian, hawaiian; and my son is

all of that plus irish & cherokee; I burn easily, but the burns tend to turn tan

and then peels off again back to pale tan, lol, but DS tans well, not burning

that easily even though he's fairer skinned than I am). What we eat and how we

feel both emotionally and physically also factors in. I know that when I was

pregnant I emitted a different " smell " than I do today and it was quite

noticeable, my doula mentioned that pregnant lactating women often tend to have

a sort of maple syrupy smell and I have to agree.

Back to heat, one fragrance on me can be subtle if I'm in a certain mood which

then of course smells divine, but in another mood it can be quite overwhelming

and cause headaches.

> I've wondered about the color of clothing, light or dark affecting

that...or, like I said before, our systems might be more acidic or

alkaline. I've tried the vitamin approach, brewers yeast, garlic etc.

didn't help. I've been hiking with folks and was one of the few who

got eaten alive so we must be emitting something that attracts more

biting insects......I'll ask my friend from india. She eats lots of

curry and spice and see if she gets attacked.

> My dad never got a bite. I have no clue why. Blue eyed, brown hair.

We would go to the same place and I lived on spray on benedryl and

bendryl by mouth........go figure.

Thanks Selkie,

For the last 35 years or so I have been involved in the studies of

natural healing, electromagnetic's and Radiant Plasma Discharge

Technology (i.e. Rife etc., I build the only clinically tested and

proved Rife machine currently available on a request basis.), and how

our body chemistry is affected by these fields and the food we eat. I

have found that if you eat something very basic your pH will rise but

then shortly, in seconds often, you will become extremely acidic. It

is amazing how many people don't know this. Drinking lemon juice in

water will make your pH soar to an alkaline 8.5 pH or higher. And when

I am working with cancer or other terminal illnesses I ALWAYS

recommend they do this. Most things do exactly the opposite of what

our reasoning minds say they should because the science we were taught

in schools is so seriously flawed it defies reason that it is even

still accepted!

The one time Shaman to the Grateful Dead, Rolling Thunder, once taught

me that by eating and bathing in vinegar we can put ourselves in a

state of being which mosquitos and other biting insects have

absolutely no taste for. I use about 1/2 to 1 cup in my bath and never

get bitten since I started this practice. It also leaves the skin

fresh and clean smelling and softens skin and hair. (smiles)

Eating tomato's will make you more alkaline also. And this seems to

make our precious scents stay beautiful on the skin longer in my

experience. I am not personally a vegetarian but I find that people

who eat these " clean " foods in quantity wear my fragrances better and

that the perfumes retain a cleaner, more true to the intended

expression on them longer than on those like myself who live on

coffee, soda and junk. LOL

Just some thoughts,
