Help avoid Alzheimer's

I’m going to share a very real and worrisome story. If you don’t want to read the entire thing, the solution is highlighted at the bottom.

In 2006/07, the area of my body hurt where my arm and shoulder connect. There was a slight pain when I rotated my arms around. This lingering pain was scary because I thought, well what if it’s cancer? My mom had pains in her legs, didn’t go to the doctor, and it ended up being cancer (I know, stupid of me not to go to the doctor).

So sometime in the Summer of 2006 I was talking with my friend Chris who was telling me a story about associations. The point of telling me this was that he enjoys talking to different people and learning different things.

The story was that he had a friend who was young and successful. He started to get pains throughout his body, and it because so debilitating that he could not get out of bed. So he couldn’t work, and had all kinds of troubles that came from that. He went to all of the doctors and none could find a cure. Not sure how long this went on for.

Then he runs into another friend and I don’t remember how the conversation went. But the guy had the same pains, found out that he had metals in his blood, got a blood transfusion, and now he is fine.

So then Chris tells the other friend about this guy, and then this guy tells him, “When I was a kid, my father used to bring home mercury and we would play with it.” Of course, before the world knew better. After the rich and famous were bathing in it.

So this guy gets a blood transfusion, then recovers. So what does this mean to me? Nothing. Until…..

I go to this Tony Robbins Seminar in November. As I’ve said, last day is health day. We get on the topic of skin and cosmetics. Then Tony says, “antiperspirants have aluminum in them, and the aluminum gets in your pours and plugs them.”

Then a light went on. The reason I was getting the pains was that I had metals in my body.

That day I stopped using my Right Guard anti-perspirant deodorant. Within two days, my pain went down 50%, two weeks later the pain was all gone.

Commercial deodorants and antiperspirants main ingredient is aluminum. Aluminum is suspected of playing a role in Alzheimer’s disease, a form of degenerative senile dementia thought to afflict 5-10 percent of persons over 65. Victims of Alzheimer’s have been found to have four times the normal concentration of aluminum in their brain cells. Aluminum is known to be a neurotoxin that can cause brain damage if you’re exposed to it in sufficiently large amounts.

Million dollar concern. “I don’t want to sweat and smell.” I feel like I have to take a Sue Orman stance here…. I can’t do nothing about sweating, but I can say that when your body is less acidic, you have less odor.

I don’t even use deodorant. I don’t think I smell, if I do, please tell me. But I know when I stink. Even if I am a stinky old man, at least I’ll remember my phone number… God willing.

Three words, "Thai Deodorant Rocks." They are crytals that you wet and apply. I've been using them for close to 10 years now and no funk to report. We even suggested them to a very stanky friend and he has also been rocking the rock for about as long.

Thanks Big Tom. I heard about that crystal, but never knew where to find it. Can you tell my listeners where to find that? Thai restaurants? Chinatown? Asian massage parlors?

Very kind of you to help your friend out.
