Tom's of Maine is a great deodorant I love! There's also Arm and Hammer which is also alminum free.

I swear by the Thai crystal deodorant. It's just a block of salt that you apply after the shower... most underarm odor is caused by bacteria that are trapped under there - the salt kills the bacteria before they can start smelling!
Aside from that, I'm pretty sure that anything that doesn't say 'anti-perspirant' will be aluminum-free. Another thing to watch out for when eliminating aluminum is baking powder - buy the aluminum-free version. Also try to avoid anything acidic that comes in an aluminum can, as it can potentially leech some of the aluminum into the food. |

I have always used Toms.
You may consider using an alluminium free toothpaste too. I use one made with aloe vera instead of peppermint.

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs. This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance. The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months. I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion. The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days. I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists. I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation. |
