Are you getting enough salt? Salt is a major component of sweat and if you

sweat a lot you might need more salt than you expect. The salt that is

naturally a part of sweat can help reduce the odor, in addition to salt

applied topically.

I used to smell very indian spice-like... but it wasn't consistent. I

managed to track it to when I consumed foods known to be contaminated with

arsenic (and had arsenic reactions to - bone pain and the like). It turns

out arsenic smells something like that when the body eliminates it (there's

some ayurvedic remedy made of arsenic which is how I found out about it

being associated with the smell). I've always quite liked that smell, but I

tend to feel my best when I don't smell like it.

I also liked the smell of mercury when I sweat it out during chelation -

kind of milky sweet with a dash of sour.

Just the other day, a friend of mine was using bleach to clean her stove. I

mentioned that the smell bothered me and another friend who was there piped

up that she " loves " the smell of bleach because that is how she knows

something is clean.

Duh!! What ever happened to clean smelling like clean? Nowadays, febreeze,

lysol, bleach, etc are all associated with " clean " . Bleh!

Glad to hear that! I hope it continues to work for you.

I don't - but I do use a deodorant, the herbal Trust cream from israel,

since I spend half of my time in front of the computer and the other

half doing physical stuff.

This is exactly why I think that antiperspirants are a Big Deal - if you

are going for a job interview or rushing through traffic, or.... well

come to think of it, there sometimes seems to be little in our modern

lives that wouldn't raise a reaction. And we don't want people to smell

our fear or stress.

I guess perhaps its some sort of adrenalin response to stress. I'm

diabetic, and body odour is a handy indication that my blood glucose

has gone because of stress (which raises the adrenalin levels).
