Not that kind of hot flash

The last couple of weeks have found me getting very hot and sweaty several times a day, and once during the night(every night!), when it's been enough to wake me up. I thought it might be hot flashes related to menopause, which could happen at my age. It also occurred to me that I could have an illness that I don't know about, but since we don't have insurance and aren't millionaires, we don't use doctors. Then I remembered that I did make a change in my supplements about the same time that this began. I started to take an odorless organic garlic supplement as a natural antibiotic/cleanse. I quit taking it yesterday, and am back to normal temperature. So maybe it isn't that time just yet. I also thought that the sweating might be a great cleanse, getting harmful impurities out of my system.

All this sweating led to me running out of deodorant before I got my latest Watkins order. Quite a few years ago, when my mother was diagnosed with a cancerous breast lump, she had the idea that she got it from long-term use of a particular very strong deodorant. Those who believe this is a possibility consider aluminum to be the culprit. My mother was a strong person, and survived that medical incident, but I've always kept what she suspected in mind. My usual deodorant is Watkins Aloe & Green Tea, which doesn't contain aluminum. What I ended up doing to meet my immediate need was to go to the natural food section of my grocery store and buying Naturally Fresh Crystal deodorant in two forms, spray and roll-on. It's good to know that there are alternatives to aluminum deodorants, even for those who aren't familiar with Watkins products.
