I have suffered from underarm odor since I was a teen. Even after taking a shower I could notice an odor. I have tried many different products through the years, including pricey, high-powered antiperspirants, natural deodorants, salt crystals, tea tree oil and witch hazel. Nothing has worked as well as milk of magnesia (MoM).
Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 63-year-old black woman. I had a total abdominal hysterectomy at age 38 that left me with one ovary. At 51, I went through menopause and was prescribed the smallest dose of Premarin. After five years I slowly weaned myself off it. About 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes, for which I take generic metformin, 1,500 mg daily. In 2008 I started applying alcohol (as recommended by a friend) to my underarms before applying deodorant to combat odor. At that time the odor was infrequent, but now it is an almost daily battle. It doesn't seem to be brought on by anything specific. I currently carry a small piece of soap that I apply dry whenever I detect the odor. It works well, but not all situations allow me to sneak off to apply it.
My 17-year-old son cannot get rid of a certain body odor. He does not like to hug relatives and doesn't hang out with many friends. Has anyone else experienced this, and has anything worked? From reader Vicki Newby, Cooperstown, N.Y.: If your son is bathing regularly and using personal care products and still has problems with body odor, it might be a systemic chemical imbalance or vitamin/mineral deficiency. Something as simple as a zinc deficiency can contribute to a strong body odor. Zinc deficiency has been indicated in other male health problems as well. Check with your doctor and consider a vitamin and mineral supplement regimen.
Along with the summer heat comes summer attire, reminding lawyers and law firms about the importance of establishing a dress code for themselves and their clients. Over the years, dress codes have broadened to include more than clothing and footwear. They now discuss issues such as tattoos, piercings, hairstyle, grooming and even body odor, said Andria Lure Ryan, a partner in the Atlanta office of Fisher & Phillips who focuses on employment law.
Dear Carson: My co-workers and I are in a dilemma. We have a co- worker in our office who is a wonderful person and we all like him very much. However, he has the most awful body order that we have ever encountered. It is so bad that we cannot eat lunch sometimes. We have left the office early because we cannot take it any longer. What can we do or how can we tell him in a nice way that he stinks? - Desperately Needing Air Dear Air: In my opinion, it is the office manager or the boss who should have the position of telling him about his body odor. First, ask either of them. If they are not in a position to do so or just plain refuse to do it, then it is up to one of you. Ideally you would volunteer to confront him. Do it in private and in a straightforward way with no apology. Simply te...
It seems a simple enough wish: "Let me sit next to someone interesting on the plane." Is it so wrong to hope your airplane neighbor is someone witty to pass the time with in conversation? To hope for a cute young guy to be sitting in the next seat? Maybe even a crazy old geezer who, if nothing else, is at least amusing? I see the hot guys in the airport at my gate. I hear interesting conversations around me. I even see a funny old man every once in a while. Yet, as I get closer and closer to my seat - passing said hot guys, intellectuals and comical, wise elderly adults - chances are, there will be one of the following passengers in the seat next to mine:
Is your idea of a deer hunter a guy who doesn't use deodorant for days on end, won't brush his teeth in anything other than Genuine Draft and believes halitosis is nothing a good cigar and some venison jerky can't cure? And that was before today's opener?
Locust Valley's Thomas Higgins has big plans for his small business to break into the health care industry with a new antimicrobial product. Higgins, an avid runner who made his career in textiles, was on a quest to find a bacteria-killing product that would eliminate body odor in fabrics. His search led him to Emory University in Atlanta, which developed a product that not only helped mitigate odor in clothing but also has properties that kill infection-causing bacteria. He thought the product could be of great value to hospitals, nursing homes and other institutional settings.
Someone with acute body odor may need to reapply deodorant at lunch or use a light spritz of perfume to mask the problem.
After Chicago banker George Michael claimed his $3 million mansion was really a church, the Illinois Department of Revenue exempted him from his $80,000 yearly property- tax bill. The Chicago Tribune reported that Michael's evidence for tax-exempt status consisted of a copy of the identification card he received from the Internet-based Church of Spiritual Humanism by clicking a button on the outfit's web site that read "ORDAIN ME" and a photograph of his church home depicting a cross on the exterior wall. The village of Lake Bluff, where Michael's mansion is located, contested the exemption. Kenneth Galvin, an independent state administrative law judge working for the revenue department, reversed the exemption, calling Michael's application "a sham." He observed that the cross "was draw...
