How Deodorants Cause Disease

How Deodorants Cause Disease? It sounded a bit crazy to me as well when I first learned this.

Did you know that where we place deodorant there are over 20+ lymph nodes? WHY is this a concern?

What is the Lymph Node’s purpose: Lymph nodes filter substances that travel through the lymphatic fluid, and they contain lymphocytes (white blood cells) that help the body fight infection and disease.

Axillary lymph nodes are commonly involved in breast cancer because of their proximity to breast tissue. 

The body’s cells and tissues dispose of waste products in lymphatic fluid, which lymph nodes then filter. During this process, they catch bacteria and viruses that could harm the rest of the body. Lymph nodes are an essential part of the body’s immune system.

Your skin, which is your largest organ, can absorb what you put on it, as quickly as 26 seconds up and into your bloodstream. 

SO if we are applying toxins like parabens, aluminum, propylene glycol, phthalates, triclosan and whatever else conventional deodorant brands add, you are placing them in a direct path not only into your bloodstream but into your lymph nodes. 

So let’s review a few of these toxins and learn what they can do in the body:

  • Parabens are xenoestrogens; chemicals that disrupt hormone balance
  • Aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Propylene Glycol can cause damage to your central nervous system, heart and liver
  • Triclosan is a pesticide. Need I say more?

So what can you do?

  • CHANGE your thinking about spending money and always buying the cheapest (toxic) deodorants. The “I am fine and I used it forever” is sad because our children are paying the price. 
  • CLEAN up your environment! I’m talking about your home cleaning products, skincare, and personal care. When you reduce your toxic intake, you won’t smell as bad. Truth! Many days I don’t use deodorant because I don’t need to.
  • SWEAT. Allow your body to sweat, it’s natural! Take a break and let those pits breath!

Over 10,400 children in the USA will be diagnosed with cancer in 2022. Over 290,000 adults will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022. That’s an average of 36 kids and 795 per day this year alone.

Life is a pay Now or pay Later program. Every day you have a choice what you put on your skin and in your mouth. If not for you, do it for the next generation.

There are better choices. I use a couple different ones. One from Modere and another from Doterra. My husband uses Lume and has had good luck with it. 

Let me know what area you need to “clean up” and I’ll provide resources that I use.

This shopping can be accomplished from the comfort of your home.  No fighting crowds, burning fossil fuels, or wasting precious hours of your time. Contact us if we can help at info@brenewed.com or by calling 812-461-8922.

1. Vitamix. Oh, how you have made my life in the kitchen simpler and much more fun.  I used to despise being in the kitchen, as I hated to cook.  Vitamix is an all-one tool that does it all from freezing “nice” cream to heating soup in one container.

It also acts as a food processor so you can cut the salad greens/cabbage and make the dressing in it as well.  If that wasn’t enough the beautiful, full-color, freestanding recipe books are worth the price alone.  Backed with a full 7-year warranty makes it my number one wellness gift.

2. Essential Oils. These gifts from God have supported our holistic options for emotional balance and a way to replace toxic air fresheners. They provide a fun and safe way to teach our children natural forms to support the body. We have essential oil products to place in the stockings or full kits. We can fit any budget with prices ranging from $10-$200.

3. Chi Machine.  Fifteen minutes equals 90 minutes of walking from an oxygenation standpoint.  Need I say more?  I use mine twice a day each morning and each evening.  I call it my “lazy woman” exercise machine.  It supports my spine (scoliosis), and discomfort and stimulates the lymphatic system to safely detox.  It is great for stress reduction, improved sleep, and weight loss. Contact us for wellness provider-only discounts.

4. Infrared Pad is a portable source of heat and healing that I don’t leave home without.  Regular heating pads heat the outside of the body, Far Infrared Ray heat penetrates 2-3 inches into the subcutaneous tissue.  I use this with my pets as well to relieve joint pain.

5. Infrared Dome.  The Far Infrared Dome is similar to the pad except it is about five times as powerful.  It emits about 9-11 microns which is so powerful it can help detox heavy metals from the body.  The dome provides improved circulation as well as pain relief.  I use all three modalities together which includes the Chi Machine, Infrared pad on the back and the Infrared Dome on the front of the body.  It feels like a slice of heaven on earth!

6. Inversion Table.  A few minutes a day is an easy way to relieve back pain and pressure. Contact your chiropractor to see if an inversion table is right for you.

7. Essential Oil Cold Air Diffusers.  Cold air diffusers use therapeutic-grade essential oils and release them into the air to be used by the body.  The cold air process helps maintain the therapeutic value of the essential oil, unlike heat diffusers that destroy it.  The diffuser creates a spa-like atmosphere with these wonderful aromas in your home that help heal without the toxic chemicals that synthetic air fresheners emit.

However, Modere CellProof skincare has exceeded most people’s expectations for the highest quality products available. It’s a system where you can feel the difference and see it!

9. Q Link Pendant EMF Protection. Electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) are transmitted from wireless networks, phones, tablets, PCs, and all electronic devices.  Exposure to EMFs can impact sleep, energy, emotional balance, and productivity.  I’ve been using these for years and wouldn’t be around technology without them.  I used to feel drained at the end of the day after working at my computer and now I remain energized!

10. QLink Clear EMF Protection – These are great stocking stuffers and protection for your children and grandchildren that will last a lifetime. It is the same protection as the pendant but adheres to your electronic device. It supports your body’s natural defenses against EMFs.

11. Norwex Cleaning products. Oh, how you make my life easier! I love the enviro cloths, travel cloths, mops and just about everything they offer. Let me know what part of cleaning you dislike, and I’ll share how they make cleaning safer, easier, and save you money.

12. Massage Therapy. How do I love thee, let me count the ways!  Massage Therapy is not a once-a-year luxury.  It should be part of your regular health maintenance program to receive at least monthly. The benefits are endless from relieving aches and pain, detox, and building the immune system.  If you don’t have a favorite massage therapist, ask a friend who sees one regularly or contact us for a local referral.

13. Wellness Gift Certificates from B Renewed. Consider a comprehensive Wellness Review to determine where your body is out of balance.
