ALUMINUM POISONING or COCONUT OIL

As I was getting ready for work today I realized I had not shared this experience with my 'online readers'. Perhaps it is because it is embarrassing to talk about.

When I was very sick many years ago and had not been diagnosed yet with "Celiac Sprue" the 'Gluten Intolerance' disease that everyone is aware of now.  My doctor told me I also had "Aluminum Poisoning" or "Toxicity".   My doctor put me on a prescription to help my body "Detox" along with drinking a lot of water.   I smelled like an aluminum can for 3 days and was so sick with some of the symptoms I listed below in this article.  It was awful!

The cookware I was using was aluminum.  The deodorant I was using had aluminum in it.  We drink out of aluminum pop cans.   I decided to throw out all my aluminum cookware and stop using any products that contained aluminum.   I try to choose fountain drinks or beverages in plastic containers.

Luckily I didn't perspire a lot so I only used deodorant when I really needed it.   I started using coconut oil to keep my skin soft and one day decided to try it the arm pits too.   I love it!  I don't sweat or stink!  My clothes aren't stained and hopefully it will help avoid alzheimers and breast cancer, too.  Taking precautions is important to avoid going through Aluminum Poisoning!

Symptoms  
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is because of aluminum toxicity. These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions. If you experience any one of them, see your physician, especially if you have kidney disease or are on dialysis.
