Julie (Denton, Tx) on 12/30/2013

I had my left hip replaced in Sept. 2013. I was mostly bed ridden because of bone on bone and was unable to shower as often as I prefer. Normally I'll shower 2 times a day in summer if working outside. I was told I would not be able to shower for 2 weeks after the op., and that was catastrophic to me as I hate being smelly or sticky. I showered every 7 or 8 days, and didn't smell. After the operation the body smell started. I assume it was my body detoxing from the anesthetic and antibiotics. Now 3 months later I still get a dreadful strong odor if I can't shower every other day.

I know it's related to the drugs and am trying to detox. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did they deal with it? Using deoderants etc., is a band aid.

Hello Julie from Denton Texas,

If this were me, I'd try the Lester Rolloff detox method. Reverend Rolloff had his Girls Home in Texas and often the girls would come to his home with addictions.

He'd put them on a three day "Watermelon Fast"...three days of red ripe watermelon. Nothing else.

Since you live in Texas, you might have year round access to watermelon. Try Mexican Markets. A lot of fresh produce comes from across the border.

This is late, but take things simple, the easiest and cheapest way to be odorless is to put litlle of baking soda to place where the bad odor is coming from. I'm using under armpits, every other day, just little, and no odor at all. Cheap and no chemicals.
