Good practical information at the end. We have the necessary safe chemicals to hand if we want. There is no need to place these complex concoctions on our skin.
However, i am preaching to the choir.
I tried a couple of times to use a commercial underarm product and was soon rewarded with a deep crimson rash. I was forced to find another way. I think my low level allergic response is set to prevent me from actually getting real exposure.

How to Prevent Breast Cancer Through An Armpit Detox
http://humansarefree.com/2016/03/how-to-prevent-breast-cancer-through.html#more
It’s pretty crazy when you think about the fact that, if you’re a male, you have a 50 percent chance of developing cancer in your lifetime, and if you’re a female, you have about a 33 percent chance.
These rates are extremely high and are expected to continue climbing, at least in part because we spend so much time trying to find a cure yet so little talking about the cause.
We need to start discussing the reasons why cancer rates continue to rise exponentially and what lifestyle changes we can make to combat this disease. (source)
Cancer is caused by physical carcinogens, chemical carcinogens, and biological carcinogens, all of which we surround ourselves with on a daily basis.
These “cell transformers,” in the form of food, cosmetics, health care products, and more, have become ‘normal’ for us. It’s time to start questioning the environment we choose to surround ourselves with if we want to get to the bottom of why disease is so excessive and uncontrollable.
One excellent example (out of many) is cosmetics and the other products we choose to put on our skin, like deodorant. In 2007 a study was published in the Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry in which researchers tested breast samples from 17 breast-cancer patients who had undergone mastectomies.
The women who used antiperspirants had deposits of aluminum in their outer breast tissue. The study pointed out that concentrations of aluminum were higher in the tissue closest to the underarm than in the central breast. (source)
This is quite alarming, as the higher incidence of tumors in the upper outer quadrant of the breast seems to support the contention that aluminum-containing antiperspirants are contributing to breast cancer, even though the identification of a mechanism of antiperspirant-induced breast cancer remains elusive.
That being said, aluminum is an experimentally demonstrated neurotoxin that has been linked to all sorts of diseases (like Alzheimer’s disease, to name one).
There are numerous studies which have examined aluminum’s potential to induce toxic effects, and this is clearly established in medical literature, and has been for a long time:
It’s great stuff to build airplanes out of, it’s great stuff to build cars out of, it’s great stuff to make various things in your household out of. It’s not great to have in your body. …
Aluminum was not bio-available traditionally in the world’s biota until the industrial revolution, and so, it just had no place in any biochemical reaction that was normal.
And where it does occur, now, because we are increasingly surrounded by it … [is] in our food, it shows up in our water, it shows up in our air, it shows up in our medicines … so we increasingly have this compound that is not part of any normal biochemical process, on Earth, for anything, that now can only go in and do havoc, which is exactly what it does.
It causes all kinds of unusual biochemical reactions in the body, including the brain. – Dr. Chris Shaw, Neuroscientist and Professor at the University of British Columbia (source)
Another study that was published in the Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry in 2013 found increased levels of aluminum in non-invasively collected nipple aspirate fluids from 19 breast cancer patients.
These patients were compared with 16 healthy control subjects:
In addition to emerging evidence, our results support the possible involvement of aluminum ions in oxidative and inflammatory status perturbations of breast cancer microenvironment, suggesting aluminum accumulation in breast microenvironment as a possible risk factor for oxidative/ inflammatory phenotype breast cells. (source)
The study also found that aluminum content and carbonyl levels showed a significant positive linear correlation. Studies have already confirmed that plasma levels of protein carbonyls can increase the risk of breast cancer. (source)
It’s also noteworthy to mention that aluminum salts used as antiperspirants have been incriminated as contributing to breast cancer incidence in Western societies (source).
Another prior study outlined how aluminum is not a physiological component of the breast, and yet it has been measured in human breast tissue as well as breast cyst fluids at levels above those found in blood serum or milk. (source)
The science is out there, and there is lots of it. When it comes to mainstream cosmetics and health care products, we are talking about thousands upon thousands of ingredients used that have no oversight or regulation from health authorities.
If these chemicals, many of which have been listed as hazardous and toxic, are considered safe by the corporations that manufacture them, that’s good enough to get them approved.
All a company has to do is vouch for itself and their products will get put on the shelves. Not many people know that about the modern day cosmetics industry.
It doesn’t take long for whatever it is we put onto our skin to enter into the bloodstream. For example, the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Manitoba, Canada, conducted a study to quantify how many sunscreen agents penetrate the skin after it is applied.
The results demonstrated significant
penetration of all sunscreen agents into the skin. We are talking about
multiple chemicals entering multiple tissues within the body. (source)
Below is a great video about aluminum that we’ve shared before in some of our articles. It comes from Dr. Christopher Exley,
a professor in Bioinorganic Chemistry at Keele University and Honorary
Professor at UHI Millennium Institute. He is known as one of the world’s
leading experts on aluminum toxicity.
Above is just a tidbit of
information that’s out there regarding aluminum toxicity. Even the
government’s national cancer institute has admitted to all of the
information scientists are publishing linking certain ingredients in
underarm antiperspirants or deodorants to breast cancer.
Despite
this fact, they claim that their own researchers are not aware of any
evidence linking these products to breast cancer, which is disturbing. (source)
Again,
these products contain parabens (these increase the risk of breast
cancer by mimicking estrogen), propylene glycol, TEA, DEA, and DC&C
colours, among many other toxic chemicals. It’s no mystery why
scientists are now discovering links to breast cancer.
Many
antiperspirants also contain triclosan, which recently made headlines
across alternative media after a study published in the journal Chemical
Research in Toxicology found that the chemical encourages cancer cell
growth.
So, it’s not just aluminum in antiperspirants that we have to be worried about. (source)
Triclosan can also pass through the skin and interfere with hormone function (endocrine disruption).
Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop there; a study published in the journal
Environmental Health Perspectives from 2008 shows how scientists
detected triclosan in the urine of nearly 75 percent of those tested
(2,517 people age six or older). (source)
Colgate
Total toothpaste contains triclosan, and they were recently outed for
their use of the chemical, along with the FDA for hiding decades old
documents showing it to be carcinogenic. You can read that release here, and more about that story here.
I am sharing this information as I did with sunscreen (earlier in the article) just to show the penetration of the skin aspect.
How To Prevent Breast Cancer Through An Armpit Detox
Sweating
Sweating
has many important health benefits. One of them is that sweating is one
of the best ways to expel toxins from your body. This in turn supports
proper immune function and helps prevent diseases that could be related
to toxic overload.
Mineral Water
In
the video above, Dr. Exley mentions two types of mineral water to help
with aluminum detox. He mentions Volvic, which is sold at various Whole
Foods and Trader Joe stores, and Spritzer, which is harder to find. His
main point was igh silica content mineral water.
Alternative Solutions
Do some research on alternative solutions. Find antiperspirants that do not contain aluminum and other harmful chemicals.
You can also search for DIY deodorant recipes on the web and make your own; the most common use baking soda and coconut oil.
The solutions are endless and, at least from personal experience, they work better than mainstream, chemically ridden products.
Holistic Solutions/Ingredients
One
common way people seem to detox their armpit area is with the use of
this recipe: 1 tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar, 3 drops of
rosemary essential oil, 5 drops of cilantro essential oil, and one
tablespoon of bentonite clay.
From here, you mix ACV and the clay
in a glass bowl, then add the essential oils to the point where it
looks smooth, like sour cream.
Then you spread a thin layer of this mixture on your armpit and leave it for a few minutes.
After
that, rinse and repeat daily until the odor subsides. It’s also a good
idea to drink plenty of water, because the body needs to flush out all
of those toxins .
The best way to prevent toxic overload here is to simply be more cautious of the products you purchase and what they contain.
