SWEAT ...taboo subject - Page 4

Hi Allan,

I have enjoyed reading all the previous posts and the replies you received seemed sensible to me. The only comment I would make to you is this.... why in heavens name would you not face the fact that sweating is your body losing water so you MUST replace any lost fluids ASAP. The fact that you actually say that you don’t seem to need to drink water is frightening. Our bodies require water to cleanse the whole system. Our kidneys need water to filtrate and expel through our urine.  Is your urine a pale or dark colour?  It should be pale if healthy. 

Listen to the advice given and visit a doctor sooner rather than later. You may be thankful that you started this post.   Something was worrying you and although you think all is suddenly well again, go for a check up and give yourself peace of mind. 

I hope the doctor gives you a clean bill of health but I urge you to get a check up now.

Please update us afterwards.  All the best

Would you the a rope around your neck to cut down your breathing? Would you tie a knot in your Willie to stop peeing so much? Would you stick a bung up your backside to stop pooping? And if you did...what effect would that be having on your health? Because that is EXACTLY what you are doing by preventing your sweat glands from functioning properly

This obsession with smelling 'nice' and being clean, has all been deliberately stimulated by pharmaceutical Companies for one reason: profit. They don't give a damn about how you look, smell, or are even healthy...they just want MORE AND MORE of our money...and try to guilt or scare it out of us.

And then, people wonder why skin cancer etc. is becoming more and more prevalent. You know all that pretty foam and bubbles you get from soap and shampoo and washing up liquid? It does F- ALL to help cleaning...it is a sales gimmick.

Sweat does not smell...it is the Bacteria which live in/on the sweat and skin that cause the odour. Showering three times a DAY???TALK ABOUT OVERKILL! THE MORE YOU WASH AWAY THE SKIN'S NATURAL PROTECTION....THE MORE THE BACTERIA COME BACK...AND WITH ADDED RESISTANCE TO THE CHEMICALS IN SOAP SHAMPOO ETC.And then you start to smell!!!!

Why does sweat taste of salt? Because the body naturally maintains the level of required salts in the body...so then you take MORE salt to replace that which the body worked so hard to get rid of? Oh dear... ;)

I will get my coat, and shut the door on my way out... :)

Apart from self satisfaction from venting, I am not sure what help you are providing the original poster?

I thought the matter had been put to bed?

Agree. Oh sweet home sweat. V

I can always rely on you !!

Was all that spouting off really necessary? Some people have medical issues with excessive sweating which can have a dramatic effect on their confidence and life. They can have botox injected to prevent this happening which goes to show the lengths people will go to so they can improve their life! 

I know of 2 people who have had this done and they are much happier.

Thanks again for all your replies , and I take it on board , but my doctor does not speak English , and I don’t know if he ll get my message. I am trying at the moment to solve a whole bunch of other big problems , and have to back burner my sweat issue , but appreciate all the advise ,and will deal with this at a later date ,understanding of course ,that it could cause me bigger problems in future ,but my other problems are more urgent and I guess I am taking a risk ,but am drinking more water ,and hopefully that will do the job , thanks again :-)
