» precious4eva - This worked for me!!
Here is my story. I am currently 18 and am in college. I never knew that I had a problem with my odor until I got here. I am so miserable because everyone notices it and makes fun of me. I live on campus and my roommate always makes comments about the odor and indirectly states that she can't stand people that smell. I have to work in order to pay for my expenses. My coworkers are the same way. They sniffle every time they walk by me. I shower like three times a day, tried every kind of deodorant known to man (even drysol), chlorophyll pills (did I spell that correctly) and I still smell bad. I don't know what to do. I am so depressed and I am even thinking about dropping out of college. Got any advice?-- posted by precious4eva

» kazy - i have an idea
My doctor told me today when I went that their are a small percentage of people that cokes affect. He went on to tell me that I should not drink apple juice or orange juice something in them. He said just make sure I drink 8oz of water a day and work out and see if it helps. I hope it does and Hopefully it will help some of you.-- posted by kazy

hey precious if you can't find anything that worked the only thing i found that did besides the pills i take now was Enzara it really worked in like one day and my bo from everywhere was gone but I ran out and the smell came back but they say you have to keep taking it until it never comes back. So, just wanted to let u know hope it helped.-- posted by P24

In response to This worked for me!! posted by precious4eva:Hey,
DON'T DROP OUT OF SCHOOL. I am 22 and suffering from BO too and honestly it has stifled my ltremendouslyusly. So much that I currently am taking on-lineline classes in school.(Next semester I will be going to classes regularly.) I have loss friends, had problems at jobs and constant mocking from strangers.
I know sometimes its hard and very painful but stay positive and don't give up. I haven't. I won't let this thing beat me. I don't know how religious you are but sometimes we go through things to test us. I wake up some mornings like why the hell me? But then I think that it alotd alot worst. I mean I can't be a normal 22 year odontI dont go out dontI dont socialize a whole lot.
What I do know is that no matter what I am dealing with, nothing is going to stop me from progressing. I just ignore all the negative remarks around me. I kill bad comments with a smile or just laugh it off. I know that I ain't dirty(I bathe 3 to 4 times a day) and I know I am a good person. Anything else is none sense.
Just stay positive and don't give up.

i tried the vitamin thing did not work for me. what is enzara and where can i purchase it.to precious4eva i have been going through this for a while its hard on all of us but u just have to keep your head up. there are days i stay inside so i won't have to deal with it. on days i am going outside i prepare my mind to face whatever people have to say. i think the only person in the world who does not mind being around me is my daughter sometimes she is the only reason i still feel like living. so find something or someone you find comfort in and focus on that.

» hadenuff3 - Back to basic
I have tried this for two weeks now and it is working for me. For the first time in years I don't have BO. I'm not selling any of this nor am I saying it will work for you. But for the first time I used it took about three days for the smell to stop!All I am doing is using Lever 2000 original (perfectly fresh) soap. I have found a deodorant! manufactor is NOW - Long-lasting deodorant cream. I orginally ordered their stick that had lavender in it and all that did was make it worse. This is a very thick cream. Like I said it took a couple of days for it to work. You want to be sure if your a woman to shave your underarms. It is hard to get off. So be sure to use a wash cloth. And shower every day and apply only once! The first two days I did wash after about 4 hrs,but not now! You can order off the internet or if you have a health food store near you, the NOW web site can show you which one might carry it or they can order it for you. Mine cost $6.00 through a store near me, on the internet some have it for less. Any wal mart or grocery store carries lever soap. Let me know if any of you try and if it works for you or not.
I'm so glad to have found something that works longer than a few days and is not costing a fortune.

In response to This worked for me!! posted by precious4eva:Do not let this ruin your education, go to the health center.
Although most body odor is not caused by illness, anyone with a serious body odor problem should get checked by a physician just in case. THere are lots of illnesses that can cause funny smells, eg diabetes (fruity fermented), liver problems (mousy), renal failure, cystic fibrosis. If you also have excessive sweating it can occur on its own or be a symptom of another disease.
Assuming there is no underlying disease try cutting down on onions, garlic. then you need to get rid of the bacteria that are living on your skin and making smelly compounds. First of all get rid of all underarm hair and hair anywhere you have skin folds eg bellyfat folds, breast fat folds, buttocks, pubic hair,etc. the bugs love to live on hair where it is damp and protected. By shaving you destroy their major home. Then get an antiodorant that contains zinc oxide or you can make your own with zinc oxide powder or zinc oxide barrier cream (commercial preparations, Lavilin, Yodora, Trust, usually add antibacterial extracts from herbs such as thymol) and apply before going to bed. This should kill the bugs for up to 5 days.
A dermatologist will have other suggestions if this does not work. Good luck.
