There are also a gazillion things to help with sleep...lavender EO, lavender pillows, valerian, chamomile, melatonin, calcium, magnesium body rubs etc. Sleep is so essential!

Have you tried sulfur soap for your skin? My husband has soboreic(spelling?) dermatitis and that's the only thing that helps him...I know they're not the same thing, but it seems to work for all sorts of skin issues! Il

As for colds and flu, I love to make fire cider for the fall/winter season...not a bad idea to drink a shot daily for that matter. Total immune system boost...mommies put it in apple juice for their kids...
I will find the link.

You will see me in the comments section of that blog page, lol!

Thanks so much for the information. I'm allergic to a lot of plants/animals. One allergist quit seeing me because I told her I'm not getting rid of my dogs and I won't quit gardening. I have to wear gloves, long sleeves and a hat and shower immediately when I'm done. Because of that I avoid anything but vitamin e oil on my skin, I don't change soaps and use a limited number of shampoos and conditioners.
My urticaria is idiopathic and I've had every test under the sun to find out what's causing it but no one can tell me. So i gave up and deal with it

Just took this pic of my organic purple green beans. Aren't they just gorgeous? Growing in a bag...lol didn't want to plant them in the ground since we plan on moving asap! Got tomatoes, peppers, watermelon, honeydew, and butternut squash also growing in bags. Even small scale city gardening excites me. Can't wait until I have gardens as far as the eye can see!
No I haven't. I have to look that up, thanks!
Yeah! I have found it pre-made in the Hispanic/ethnic skin/hair care section at some walmarts. I'm sure it would be an easy find online.
Love mountain rose herbs!! I make loose incense and gifts for family members and buy from them exclusively!

Mountain Rose Herbs is my go-to also if I can't find locally, plus they all kinds of amazing recipes!
OK, well I guess I'm not the one to just stay quiet about things... I'm still on board with the idea of this thread and with detoxing life, but still have questions.
Anyways, as much as I don't like taking meds... simple fact is it's the lesser of the evils FOR ME, in many instances.
No amount of homeopathy or herbs is going to fix my bipolar disorder or my diabetes.
At what point do you finally figure out resistance is futile?
Oh ya, things like cinnamon CAN help stabilize blood sugar. And this or that CAN reduce swelling. Bananas are good for people with hypertension, btw... But at some point with all the C and other supplements, your basically a walking supplement trash can. How many can you really comfortably take? I HATE pills! And then to find out so many are bunk anyways...
And the C... often give you 500 or more % of the daily recommended value. Why, because your body doesn't process it all. Why not just include what your body will use?
Besides why supplement instead of just eating the real food that you would get it from... as we were created to do? Who has control over how these supplements are grown or processed or shipped even since so many of us are all about save the world? Organic is an overrated word IMHO... dog poop is organic, as are things like arsenic and cockroaches.
Vinegar is also said to be a good weed killer. For me, I worry about changing the PH of my soil too much and effecting things I don't want effected. So I pull them, but completely understand the need for some to round up on occasion. It's hard to argue with something that works sooo well with very little noticeable ill side effects, WHEN used correctly.
Yes, I think natural things are awesome but can also be just as toxic as other stuff.
As far as acv for deodorant... I almost rather kill myself!
Quite seriously I HATE the smell of vinegar. My husband is Korean and so thinks all things pickled are great. 
And yes, I know sweat is ONE way for toxins to leave the body. But they can leave from somewhere other than my pits! 
I just can't stand sweaty pits. That's WHY I use antiperspirant instead of deodorant. Besides what, people who don't work up a sweat just retain their toxins until they die? Seriously, I don't mean to come off all rude.. so please don't take it that way. I am hear to learn and these ARE the thoughts that cross my mind. 
EB21, you are one of the most inspirational... how many years have been gracing the Earth to get where you are today in your understanding and processes? You don't really have to tell.
We all start somewhere, and you are pretty far along! Thanks for sharing SOOO much stuff.
Oh, how you mention the salts and others do have alumi in them... is that a natural compound? We have discovered that even honey labeled as "raw" has often been heated to a certain point but at a lower temperature as to maintain the raw label. That's just wrong that sooo many products can be labeled deceptively, just like the deodorant you mentioned.
I did also think about the suggestion of.. was it palm oil or coconut oil as antiperspirant.. And how that would happen/work. Best I could figure was essentially by clogging the pores in the pit? But seems like it would stain your clothes and make for some nice soft pits. Throw me on the BBQ!
And I don't know... might as well mention... anybody planned their own burial yet? I have thought about cremation since nobody ever visits the dead at the cemetery anyways. Plus with earthquakes and floods who's to say you will stay buried. Oh but wait, they will move whole burial grounds for new housing development, only to be discovered years later that some graves were never moved and now homeowners are finding remains. I don't know all the processes involved in making the dead bury ready. But inbalming fluids seem out of the whole loop with ashes to ashes and dust to dust. I don't want all kinds of chemical preservers pumped into me after I worked hard to become 1 with the Earth! Dump me under the apple tree, or wherever it's convenient. So what if I become vulture food, that's the circle of life. Of course, I know for many it will be about what their family wants since they after all are dead. There is ONE cemetery I know of (probably more) that actually DO participate in natural burials. Their price was equal or more than the common burial, but not cheaper. And does anyone know (off the top of your head, I know I have internet) if they use any kind of chemicals with cremation. It's my understanding that you can't just dump ashes as fertilizer like on a single plant. My family knows that for me this body is just a body and once I'm gone, I no longer reside in it and it has nothing of ME left. My mother on the other hand doesn't accept that. But it's not her body! I will bury her per her request when the time comes. But she already knows I won't be physically visiting her grave (where her birth family is buried) which is more than 12 hour drive from my house. I liked my grandma and can't even tell you when was the last time I visited her dead bones. Ugh, I sound like such a _______. Anyways, I'm not all focused on death, just curious because we do plan ahead... and I don't want to be treated in my death the opposite of how I lived... as natural as possible, within my limits. Oh and why have someone keep my ashes around to be accidentally eaten by the dog or stolen out of storage.. ditch them! Sorry if it's too heavy a topic or if I'm way off base from keeping in line with the thread.
Oh... I now know how to spell DEODORANT after this post!!
It isn't deoderant.
