Hey people, so I know for a fact that you do not need to use shampoo, soap, or anything from the store to keep clean ....
Water....and scrubbing....that is all you need
It takes about 3-4 weeks to cycle....it's a crappy time as your body adjusts and starts to clean itself properly and adjust the odours and pheromones.

You will have the smoothest hair, the softest skin, the best complexion you have ever had and will smell sexy to opposite sex and will not smell to people of the same sex.

You may even see colours brighten, and hair thicken.
So.... What else is a crock of shit sold to us to make us unhealthy and dependent?
I guess I wanted useful actionable advice such as I provided with a reasonable time frame for expected results.
How about just one useful alternative regiment. Something you can recommend for example on food?
I noticed that it is hard to remove all that black oil and grease dirt from hands and other body parts after car/truck/tractor repair without soap or some solvent. Also, a lot of rural activity could leave your hands dirty and will have to spent days using water with scrubbing to wash your hands.
What is presumable audience for your advise? People who do nothing?
Soap is easy. Take any natural oil you like and NaOH (sodium hydroxide), little chemistry (sheeple name it magic) and you have soap.
Also, it is possible to use ash as detergent, but since it is basically become alkali after combining with water, don't use it permanently, you will ruin your skin. Better use that alkali form ash to make soap from your favorite oil.
Coffee grounds and some castile soap works great on grease. I work on cars for fun.
Liquid soap + fine sand works perfectly. Used ground coffee is more pleasant, but I'm too lazy to dry and preserve it :)
Great idea. I hadn't thought of that, but makes sense.
There are a few exceptions. Engine grease and fats from animals, blood, and deep grime....sure throw a little soap in for help.
I'm talking about showering with body wash, shampoos, lotions....etc ..
That shit is really bad for you.
Luke warm water to scrub and loosen, and then cold to wash and rinse, if you can handle it. Cold for you hair is the best.
Most shampoo based on lauryl/laureth sulfates as detergent, that is worse than stearates with ton of different shit that make shampoo look, smell, foam "better".
Use potassium stearate (liquid soap, same as usual soap, but with potassium instead of sodium) instead of shampoo, and that's all.
Soaps (stearates), unfortunately works bad in "hard" water, that is typical for drills and wells in most places, in that case you need either soften your water, either use other, not lauryl/laureth sulfate detergents, say, you could buy a barrel of Hostapon (should be most known in US trademark of natural coconut oil and glycin derivative, ~$10/liter for 30% solution) or similar thing and just use it instead shampoo without all that shitty bullshit marketing "modifiers".
There are a lot of interesting things that hidden from regular people that much better than shit they sell us. They could look not so great and rarely have any public advertising, but they are really cool, harmless and cheap.
Or just none at all.....give it a shot. 3-4 weeks max. You will see the difference. But you gotta scrub still and wash under the water.
Once you see it....you will not want to try anything else ...your hair will thank.
People constantly commented on how soft and colourful my hair was - never before and never since....only during the period of time when I used only water....
Could work for dry hair without any serious activity, but will fail if you have oily hair or work physically. Your skin secreting not only salted water, but oils too. And you can't get rid of oils without some detergent.
And if you really want to feel absolutely CLEAN, you can't get this true feeling without finnish sauna or russian banya. :) Diving into snow is not necessary, cold shower will be good enough. Spend a half dozen minutes at least at 70-80°C (160-180°F) and take a shower. Repeat few times. Use soap at least at first shower. And only after that you could feel being really clean. :)
I must disagree. Oily skin is benefited the most. (I have oily skin, and oily fine hair that I used to have to sometimes shower twice a day)...ever since I cut out most soap and shampoo and body wash, my skin started to clear up, my hair thickened and got less oily, and my skin became smooth but not oily. Its the constant shedding of oils that makes your body over produce them in the first place.
You have a friendly bacterias on your skin and friendly viruses that limit friendly bacteria growth. It is perfectly normal and natural. They are a frontline of our skin protection from different pathogens. That is why excess use of sanitizers during coronahoax was a reason for unpleasant problems with skin of sheeple who just killed them. But that friendly buddies do their jobs and die. If your skin is oily, then all bacteria corpses and weared out viruses stay sticked to oil layer. That corpses not necessary began to stink, it depends on the person, some could began to stink after a hour of sweaty job, others could stay odorless a week, but that organic matter always decaying. Add old skin chips, pollen, dust and you'll get the picture.
Soap don't do any significant harm to living bacterias (if you are not zealously washing your body parts every 10 minutes with tons of soap, of course), but remove oil layer with that spent remnants.
IDK, if you are fine with wearing a layer of decaying organic matter on your oily skin and you are not a stinky person - that's fine. I'm not stinky too, but prefer to wash it out periodically. Without any problems with skin and hair.
You are missing the point. You don't need soap to wash that out....water and scrubbing...it's all...trust me. I have done years of experience with this....it's the first thing I noticed go back to soap is acne....and body odour came back. Years without it.....had it my whole life except for three years.....I wonder what it could be......don't go vaxxtard on me now, it's pretty obviously tied to the soaps.
Humans are fully capable of living hundreds of years, or at least we used to be. There are so many things that are designed to kill us that it’s easier to list what doesn’t kill us. But once you realize we could live hundreds of years, you start to realize how poisoned we are daily and why our life expectancies are in the 70s and declining.
Yet another clever example of selling the disease as the cure.
I have done this already. 3 years without shampoo and soap before I started again...I use only soap on my hands, and trying to get off the shampoo again. The sebum levels are fucked up because of the body washes. Once you take those 3 weeks to cycle you are fine. You just are extra greasy or dry for the first little while depending on what side of the spectrum you are.
I started again because the ex.....she wanted smelly things during the shower sex. But I have been off it for a while except shampoo now again.
I literally never use soap or shampoo. I also rarely brush my teeth. And I'm far healthier than most kids my age. No allergies, no chronic conditions, etc. My hair gets dandruff easily, but its most common after I use shampoo. Otherwise, it's just oily. But just scrubbing with water keeps me just fine after a long week of 12s. So much pharma bs, even in the most mundane things!
Being the son of a dentist, I would highly advise you to at least you use a natural toothpaste.
The only people I have seen not require toothpaste are those on strict carnivore-diets, or native tribes who reject all modern 'foods' and just live off fishing, hunting, and some vegetables.
Socks. Socks are there to tenderise the feet in order to condition them not to be able to walk very far in regular shoes/trainers. Socks were invented by the automotive industry - believe it or not - for just such a purpose.
interesting. i hate socks!
Really? Interesting. Any chance you have a link to more reading on this?
Sorry, loins like they are rewriting history again. Mandela effect in full swing to make socks seem like they have always been here
I have to use soap on the nether regions and shampoo for the dandruff, there is no getting around that.
I haven't used deodorant in decades, if you start to smell it means you NEED TO WASH! Shaving cream I don't use - rub water on face to moisten the skin and hair, that's what shaving cream does. I've recently switched from using tooth paste to tooth powder and my teeth are noticeably whiter.
Dandruff is from soap.....and shampoo for dandruff causes it....
100%, hot water and a comb is all most people need. I have a natural bar shampoo that i use 2x a month for when my hair gets so oily its weight makes my scalp sore. Even then i use it sparingly and dont get a huge lather going, just enough to wash away about 1/2 the oil.
I also use a spray deodorant i make myself if anybody else here has SOP. Severely onionated pitstank. Here’s the recipe:
1 part white vinegar (organic preferably)
1 part distilled water
1 part alcohol (isopropyl or vodka even)
Few drops of essential oils.
I use tea tree, eucalyptus, lavender— And sometimes vetiver, lime, and/or black pepper just for the scent.
Shake vigorously a few times before spraying to mix thoroughly.
Keep using chemical baths you fucking idiot. When you die 20-30 years early....not my fault
Frankly. Your friends probably smell like shit cause your hanging with them .... You seem like you wouldn't know decent people for all the hints in the world. Kindly go fuck yourself ;) - you're an idiot lol
