"SKIM CONDITIONS RAZOR BURN • Liquid soap Lubricant ./Vs a quick way to prevent the redness and irritation that too often follow a close shave, consider a little prep work. Some of the new moisturizing pump-bottle soaps are surprisingly pure and scent free. (Ask a cosmetics professional at a department store for suggestions.) By spreading a thin layer of liquid soap on your face before applying shaving cream, you'll notice your razor slides more smoothly around the nooks and crannies of the cheekbones, chin and jawline." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Doctors used to recommend that as soon as you realize you've been exposed to a poisonous plant, you should vigorously wash the area with soap and water to get rid of the urushiol. If you're outdoors without ready access to soap, you can try the juice of the soapwort plant to wash yourself. I'm singling out soapwort here, but I believe that any of the "soapy" plants that contain compounds known as saponins might work better than soap and water in minimizing the irritating effects of urushiol." - James A. Duke, Ph.D., The Green Pharmacy: New Discoveries in Herbal Remedies for Common Diseases and Conditions from the World's Foremost Authority on Healing Herbs (Get the book.)

"Wash your clothes (and your dishes) in detergent-free biodegradable washing soda or soap. Chemicals in washing powders cling to garments and then penetrate your skin. Buy clothes made from natural fibres like cotton or wool, not synthetics. Choose cosmetics, perfumes, soaps and hair products made from plant extracts rather than mineral oils. Use an electric razor and ordinary ice water as an astringent. Wherever possible choose unpackaged foods or products in glass. Plastic food wrappings leach out pollutants and contaminate food. Avoid plastic cookware and servingware, too." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"If you have dark skin, avoid using any soap on your feet at all. If you must use soap, make it one of the super-fatted ones—soaps with added oils that are low in alkalis. Among soaps of this type are ones made by Dove, Neutrogena, and Alpha Keri. It's still best, though, to use warm water without soap. If dry skin is a problem, take the time after your bath to give your feet an oil rub, using soy, sunflower, or safflower oil. Let your skin have a minute or two to Get Healthy Now! 369 absorb the oil while you rub.

"For example, a distrustful patient dreamt of giving a chromium soap dish to someone building a home. Unknown to this patient, Ullman had recently been looking at a chromium soap dish he had mistakenly received when building his house and had held onto "in a spirit of belligerent dishonesty inspired by rising costs on the house . . ."' The patient seemingly homed in on this small incident via dream telepathy as a poignant symbolic expression for his distrust of therapists." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"My Parisian friends do their laundry using soap nuts, the dried fruit of the Chinese soapberry tree (Sapindus mukorrosi). These berries contain saponin, a natural steroid that turns frothy and bubbly in water. I tried it: my laundry came out clean and smelling great. Obscurely inspired, we've even used fruits as contraceptives. In medieval Europe, lemons were believed to neuter sperm the way citrus curdles milk. Casanova wrote of using hollowed out half-lemons as contraceptive diaphragms. Ancient Egyptians used orange halves in the same way, as do some misinformed modern teenagers." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Examples abound, from the wild fruits outside Eldorado in Voltaire's Candide to the apples shimmering like huge soap bubbles in Hans Christian Andersen's The Bell, which tells of a young boy's religious awakening. The Gnostics believed the Eden allegory to be, as Elaine Pagels says, "an account of what takes place within a person who is engaged in the process of spiritual self-discovery." The metaphor is evergreen. In 1982, author William T. Vollmann crossed over the border into Afghanistan with mujahadeens.

"Not surprisingly, the multi-billion soap industry is hardly enthusiastic about these findings. They are, however, welcomed by ecologists, because traditional detergents promote the growth of environmentally damaging algae in rivers, streams, and lakes. Green chemistry has also encouraged the phase-out of product packaging that relies on petrochemical plastic containers, particularly those containing Bisphenol A and phthalates. These materials are being replaced with recycled, biodegradable, bio-based substitutes, including recycled paper." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "Lavender and Tea Tree Oils Lavender and tea tree oils pose another kind of hormone disruption dilemma: breast enlargement, technically known as gynecomastia, has been reported in three boys, ranging from four to ten years old, following repeated use of scented soap, shampoo, and a "healing" balm containing tea tree or lavender oils (37). In all cases these symptoms went away shortly after the use of these products was discontinued. Laboratory tests have also shown that both oils possess weak estrogenic and anti-testosterone effects." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "You take a shower, using soap, shampoo, and hair conditioner. Afterwards, you stand at the mirror and apply underarm deodorant or an anti-perspirant and brush your teeth. It's a routine that seems —even feels—harmless. Examine each of these modern conveniences and how they interact with each other through the lens of scientific research, however, and the picture is very different. What Is Really in Your Air Freshener? About three out of every four U.S. households keep air freshener products in their bathrooms." - Samuel S.

"I'm singling out soapwort here, but I believe that any of the "soapy" plants that contain compounds known as saponins might work better than soap and water in minimizing the irritating effects of urushiol. Other plants high in saponins include horse chestnut, licorice, seneca snakeroot, soapbark, rose leaves and gotu kola. (Remember, I'm calling for external use of these plants. Horse chestnut and seneca snakeroot are inedible.) Pregnancy and Delivery I'm very pleased with my part-Cherokee, part-redneck grandson, John James Duke, born August 13, 1993." - James A.

"The only relief she found was in prayer, and in smoking cigarettes, and in watching her beloved soap operas, and in the Ativan, which relaxed her, and the Haldol, which seemed, at times, to quell the voices; that is, until she almost died while taking Haldol. Over the weekend, Betty complained of flu symptoms and a high fever to the front desk attendant at the residence. When the fever didn't subside, he called 911 and—without knowing it—saved her life. She was brought to the emergency room, and I saw her the next day, rigged to those machines." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"She lost her grip on the boundaries between what was real and what was not. The soap opera characters became part of her life, and she talked to them as if they were right there in the room. She died of natural causes at eighty-eight. KEEPING IT ALL TOGETHER I've talked a lot about the biological connections between the body and the brain throughout this book, and nowhere are they more important than in the discussion of aging. After all, a sound mind won't do you much good if your body fails. In 1900, the average American could expect to live to age forty-seven." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) "When her body slowed down, her mind followed suit: she stopped playing bridge and started watching soap operas. A friend took her to church on Sundays, but otherwise she didn't get out much. She was slipping mentally, but didn't have dementia yet—she knew perfectly well who I was, but she had less and less to say during our conversations. Then, the following year, she fell and broke her other hip. It was crushing for me to see her immobilized, and that's when she really stopped being herself. She lost her grip on the boundaries between what was real and what was not." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"The term negative bubble always reminds me of watching a sealed plastic soda bottle filled with warm air gradually implode as it cools, and seeing it pop back into shape when the cap is loosened—though this metaphor is really no more apt than the soap bubble metaphor for positive speculative events.) Price continues to decline until further price decreases begin to seem unlikely, at which point there is no reason for people to want to stay away from the stock and the negative bubble fills back up—even though, as with positive bubbles, the burst will probably not be sudden." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"If you must use soap, make it one of the super-fatted ones—soaps with added oils that are low in alkalis. Among soaps of this type are ones made by Dove, Neutrogena, and Alpha Keri.

If your skin is really dry, try Herbal Salve One (described at the end of this chapter), two or three times a day." - Gary Null, Get Healthy Now with Gary Null: A Complete Guide to Prevention, Treatment and Healthy living (Get the book.)

"Many general hygiene products—such as skin cream, lotion, soap, shampoo, perfume, hair spray, and room deodorizers—contain petrochemicals. These compounds often have chemical structures similar to estrogen and therefore act like estrogen when introduced into the body. Industrial solvents are another source of xenoestrogens and are commonly found in cosmetics, fingernail polish, fingernail polish remover, glue, paint, varnish, cleaning products, carpet, fiberboard, and other processed woods. Synthetic hormone replacement drugs and birth control pills." - C. W.

"FOAMY URINE If you look down in the bowl and see bubbly urine, don't assume that the toilet's just been cleaned and some soap residue's been left behind. Foamy urine can be the very first sign of proteinuria (sometimes called albuminuria), a buildup of bile salts or the protein albumin in the urine. Proteinuria is a marker of kidney damage and heart disease, particularly in patients who have diabetes or hypertension." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Unlike poop and pee, which can easily be flushed away and forgotten, the smell of sweat can long linger on our bodies and clothes and in gyms and taxis without the help of soap and water to wash it away. The body signs related to our private parts and their often disagreeable by-products are major sources of humor to many kids and adults alike. But because they're also a major source of embarrassment, we may find these body waste signs difficult to discuss with our doctors. That can be a big mistake." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"Regular washing of the hands throughout the day (even with regular soap) can serve to take a considerable amount of stress off of the immune system. • And finally, one of the primarily benefits of regular exercise is an optimized immune system. The Thought That Kills For years stress and/or depression have been suspected of somehow increasing the risk of contracting numerous infectious diseases. In addition, there is mounting statistical evidence that increased levels of stress and depression also correlate with an increased incidence of cancer." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Unknown to this patient, Ullman had recently been looking at a chromium soap dish he had mistakenly received when building his house and had held onto "in a spirit of belligerent dishonesty inspired by rising costs on the house . . ."' The patient seemingly homed in on this small incident via dream telepathy as a poignant symbolic expression for his distrust of therapists. On other occasions, the patients seemed to pick up on larger issues that dovetailed with events or concerns in Ullman's life." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"Many women who wear makeup just use soap and water to remove it, and they are not getting a deep enough cleansing. You need a cleanser that actually penetrates the pores. Use a glycerine soap for the face or another mild soap made without lye, synthetic fragrance, synthetic colors, or preservatives. Fancy soaps are best reserved to impress guests. Fresheners After cleansing, use a freshener, void of alcohol, to remove any residue left on the skin. If you don't want to fill your bathroom with skin products, you can apply pure aloe vera or aloe combined with a few drops of lemon juice." - Linda Ojeda, Menopause Without Medicine: The Trusted Women's Resource with the Latest Information on HRT, Breast Cancer, Heart Disease and Natural Estrogens (Get the book.)
