weird things

So growing up I used to gross out about hygiene, sure everyone can shower everyday to be hygienic BUT the same as cleaning my house, I've thought of efficient ways to do things with the least amount of "work", but actually total accidents!!!!!! My methods are fool proof, so I think, ha! I measure what "works" by determining if it's:

Not messy! (Not oily or pastey)
Cost effective!
Toddler friendly! (easy)
Not time consuming!
Etc.
Why?
Because I want it to be practical, useful and effective to my standards!

Some specific issues it addresses from my "epiphanies"

1) anyone with sensitive gums, I mean the MOST sensitive! I can make your mouth red carpet ready! I used to think I needed a firm toothbrush bristle, I don't. I used to think I needed to go get my mouth professionally cleaned, I don't! (Which is not kind to our teeth and wears down enamel because it's really abrasive) I used to think I needed to buy toothpaste, I don't. When you get sick the first sign of sickness is bad breath!

2) Even though I know body odor is common and often a sign to get your health in balance, I have also found a way to eliminate arm pit odor without deodorant!

Yes, you can eat and balance your health to smell nicer and some ways of doing that is cutting out gluten but for days you have someone else doing the cooking and it contains gluten, you have to reverse the damage. Also you can clear up your skin by eating well BUT I also found ways to pick blackheads without a gadget and without scarring your skin, which I failed at as a teen. My skin as a teen needed saving!

I think people aren't born bad they are just really sick, they had malnutrition, or other imbalance during childhood and they are stuck in old habits/choices. Either they don't know how to overcome or they are so lost to know that there is a less painful way of existing in the world. They've accepted what is currently their reality.

Example of health as a whole package. There are teachings of health and it's a mind and body journey, it's spiritual awakening for those who have felt changed by going to church, it's a mental healing through social community and by being in tune with how you live including what you eat. The community is like therapy, you go because you get feedback on your journey and progress, it keeps you on track and a sense of fulfillment.

Your face along in with your skin is a health map! Your organs health is mapped and shows up, you can dissect your heart, kidneys, and other organ health by looking at your skin and face!

As I write this I laugh because it sounds like a commercial, but that's how I describe stuff, ever since I was a kid and was excited about something or explained what I was thinking, it just how it gets described
