Remedy for B.O.
06.20.09 (10:35 am)   [edit]

As a Pre-med, I don't have any medical knowledge at all. All that they teach us are the background sciences that prepare someone for an education in medicine. And that's just about it.
So anyway, I was sitting in Microbiology class with Dr. Vandenburgh and he was talking about different types of antiseptics and antibacterials for killing bacteria along with autoclaving. Well, one type of antiseptic is isopropanol. I remembered that isopropanol was used by a graduate student in Dr. Baker's lab where I do undergrad. research to wipe his gloves after handling different bacterial samples.


What is isopropanol? It's a saturated 3-carbon chain with an -OH hydroxy group attached to the middle. To put it simply - rubbing alcohol. So, I got to thinking and remembered that my sister (I won't say which one) had a B.O. problem and started really scrubbing under her underarms and afterwards she didn't smell as bad after a sweaty day. Well, it turns out that the odor is caused by a bacteria called Staphylococcus epidermidis. Well, as a bacteria, it is susceptible to being killed by isopropanol (a.k.a. isopropyl alcohol). Go figure. So, I put two and two together.

Incidently, here was my experiment: I rubbed isopropanol/rubbing alcohol on my underarms for two days. Then, I put deodorant on. One day it was over 90 degrees F and I drove in a car without A.C., so it was maybe 100 degrees F inside, for maybe a half an hour. So, when I came home I was drenched in my own sweat. But, I took off my shirt and smelt all around - not a hint of body odor! It was as off I'd just came in from the rain or poured clean water on my shirt. I even let the sweat dry and there wasn't any significant smell!

How's that for a pre-med with a low GPA!

Rubbing alcohol - use it on your underarms along with your deodorant and it will stave off strong body odors.

Oh, and Jesus Christ is still Lord! Today and every other day!

Actually, you can use rubbing alcohol WITHOUT the deodorant or antiperpirant. There is no need for those rather unhealthy products. They usually contain aluminum and other toxins, and underarm skin is highly absorbant and sensitive. The way I understand it, body odor from sweat under the arms comes not from the bacteria itself, but from their metabolic wastes. And the presence of the bacteria in the sweat is aided by a more alkaline Ph than is natural for adult skin (neither juvenal nor senior). A normal skin Ph for adults is around 5. It's called an acid mantel. Most soaps are alkaline. Diminishing the natural acidity of the skin encourages bacteria. So along with not using deodorant or antiperpirant, and instead using rubbing alcohol as needed (kills the odor causing bacteria, thus causing the odor to go away), it is also important to refrain from washing under arms (or any area prone to sweating, like feet) with soap. And to preserve the acid mantle overall, it is a good idea to use non soaps, such as the Natural Beauty Cleansing Bar. Furthermore, it is important to sweat because sweat flushes out bacteria, and to allow the sweat to wick away from the body, to prevent it from forming a surface layer where bacteria can flourish. The best way to wick sweat from the underarm is with hair, which is why we have it there. Most women feel uncomfortable letting their underarm hair grow, but it is much healthier to do so and, contrary to fears, hair does not encourage BO. What encourages BO is alkaline soaps disturbing the adic mantel and close shaving which cause sweat to be trapped at the skin surface. Some diets, hormones, and other factors can also contribute, and an individual would have to find a comfortable, effective approach. With all approaches, though, alcohol eliminates the bacteria and thus the BO caused by their waste.
