Re: Severe body odor

[Guest guest]

,

Embarrassing for them, but a REALLY good sign! They are detoxing. We

have had BO problems with our kids, as well, but not that severe. I

think the pecanbread website has some detox bath ideas--epsom salts,

apple cider vinegar and clay are all good things to add to a bath to

help draw out toxins. Maybe some essential oils to help mask the

smell??

On another note (and, Sue, I think of you with your older son--this

might be an idea to help, and he might actually enjoy it...), I have

used a far infra red sauna for several years now and it has been a

very, very effective way for me to detox. When I first started using

it, I could name the chemical that I was detoxing by the smell of my

sweat! (I used to work in a pretty toxic profession with a lot of

distinctly smelling chemicals). The sauna has been the one alternative

therapy that has really turned around my healing (although, obviously,

I am not totally healed yet, or I wouldn't be here!). After starting

GAPS my sauna sweat has gone back to smelling again, so I am hopeful

for even more healing. For those of us with young kids, you can't use

the sauna as they don't sweat sufficiently to cool their bodies and

they can overheat. Google the book "Detoxify or Die" and check out

www.hightechhealth.com or www.healthmate.com (I think that is right,

at least.) If interested, you may have to invest in one (I did, and

it has been worth every dime, especially when you consider how much we

all dump on alternative health care and supplements), but some places

have them and you can just rent time in one.

Goodmorning all,

One quick question here. We have

been doing SCD since New Years and it's going very well so far. I have

a 14 yo dd and a 10 year old dd that are having awful underarm odor

even with deoderants. The 14 yo seems to have an all over odor that is

just coming out of her skin. I picked up some chlorophyll hoping this

woud help. They get so embarrased when they have to be around their

friends and they are bathing daily. Help....

thanks for the idea. I bought a sauna, conventional plus far infrared, a

few years back when my son had acne, but he doesn't like taking saunas.

Never used the far infrared element. I was taking regular saunas but

stopped because I'm not sure it's a good idea since I have a mouth full

of amalgam fillings. I want to get them removed, but no time or dollars

right now. thanks, sue v.

we're dealing with this issue as well, or should say i am. everything i do

nothing works, i'm

just a stinky person right now. the only thing that is some what helpful is to

use coconut oil

with some lavander and/or tea tree oil mixed in it and i apply that several

times a day. also

baby wipes work if your out and need to freshen up a bit.
