Thanks for sharing Mark! Yes it may have been the sugar, food sensitivity or it could also have been too much long-chain fats for your liver/gallbladder and you struggled to produce enough bile to metabolize it. We wish you all the best on your health journey!

Many have toxic chemicals that cause problems.

Hey Vacheslav! I’m glad to hear that worked as a pain reliever for you! You are absolutely correct- sulfur is a a critical compound for human health! I go into more detail about the benefits of MSM Sulfur here!

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your personal and family experience with skin health Greg! We are so blessed to have you as part of our DrJockers.com community!

there is mineral which hardly found in articles of doctors which clears the skin, eliminates asthma, helps with autism, detoxes heavy metals, improves bowl movement, improves nail health and obviously much more.. it is called sulfur! i saw the picture on ali express of before and after and got lured in…got a sulfur cream, and applied it on the hands of my daughter which has these annoying bulging dots, and it reduced them after a few applies. yesterday i had a cut and it was annoyingly pulsing, i applied the cream and got relief instantly..

One quick and easy way of checking on the health of our skin microbiome generally is to ask, “After working up a sweat, do I stink and need to shower immediately ?” If the answer is “Yes,” that’s almost always due to an unhealthy skin microbiome, especially in the armpits. Commercial antiperspirants, deodorants and antibacterial soaps can be one cause of that.

It appears as if, just like in the gut, there are some good microbes and some bad microbes on everybody’s skin all of the time. The important thing is to keep them in balance, with the good guys predominating. Washing, even with a good natural soap, depletes the population of both the good and the bad guys. It seems as if after a thorough washing the bad guys often grow back faster, with the good guys eventually taking over only in the long run. But that means giving them a fighting chance to do so. Washing them all away on a daily basis can keep that from ever happening; so washing off the stink after sweating, and most of the good microbes along with it, on too regular a basis can actually be unhealthy for the skin. It’s only the bad guys that are capable of creating the stink, not the good guys and not our own bodies.

One workaround for that that worked for me was to simply skip the soap, especially under my arms, on every other shower for a while, then on two out of three showers, and eventually six days per week. I’ve finally reached the point where I can sweat like a pig and nobody can detect any body odor on me at all for hours afterwards. I had a great uncle who was a hard working farmer in remote Iowa half a century ago and who bathed only four times a year, and he never stank at all.

Hey Terri, Optimal hydration is of first importance! She may also find the strategies to improve skin in this article very helpful!

You’re welcome Robyn! Blessings!

Yep, applies to me: gut issues, depression, hormone imbalances, poor sleep…thanks for info:-)
