I use mineral oil to remove a sunblock I use that is very waxy/hard to take off. I don't know if this is harmful or not---
I use it only occasionally, and it is the only thing that works.
Even mild soap just seems to smear the sunblock's base around.

shampoo alternative
I also used to use a powdered dry shampoo called Bindi Hair Wash; it had a type of powder I think used in India called shikakai, which is a natural soapbark-style saponin-containing bark. It was very mild and left my hair clean but not stripped of oil. I mostly started using alternatives due to the ...

shorter version
In other words, I understand completely why the male who does not even try to please a woman.... in other words, does not really love, nor even much care, for much besides himself, would eventually become dissatisfied.... But I do not understand why in real love--- which many, but not all, of the 's...

state of nature
This is excellent to read and of course I am not trying to disagree.... just get more a sense of what was meant. Yes, I think the thing that puzzled me was that the article talks about how, in fact, most (the majority) of men are simply not willing (unwilling, not unable) to do what a woman really d...

shampoo substitute
I have not used shampoo in several years... I use oil when it is dry (coconut or walnut) and a type of diluted clay in water...I think it is called pascalite; my natural-foods shop has it-- to clean my hair otherwise. My hair is medium-long and I mostly try to use a minimum of even the above on it. ...

waisays.com chapter
On the Wai site, the article "The medical need for orgasms in women" somewhat confounds me.... I have just reread it for the first time in quite awhile, and I cannot quite reconcile the part about the ideal encounters (over time) between two partners, male and female, where the female is satisfied a...

probiotics
Ah; I meant to say "probiotics..." in fact the ones without FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) in the past worked the best for me.

prebiotics
Prebiotics have helped me only at times I was eating lots of fiber. Perhaps the lining of the intestine becomes so damaged from fiber that they (in some cases) can help an individual. I juice everything now, like RRM..... You can see http://www.fibermenace.com for more on fiber. I do not follow the ...

Ghee (also known as clarified butter)
The vegetarian vegetable ghees are the worst; I think they are hydrogenated plant oils and of course researchers know hands-down that this is worse than (non-oxidized) animal source ghee, for the heart. I eat it because I like it once in awhile and the goat butter available to me is processed so tha...

Oxidized cholesterol
I've noticed that many do not distinguish between oxidized and unoxidized cholesterol. Udo Erasmus, as above, does, but not in a consistent way; Uffe Ravnskov ("The Cholesterol Myths") also does not. Here is a citation where the difference is central to a study's findings: http://freeradicalfederati...

Sugar candy
I often am in situations where I cannot sip off a juice bottle, and I take compressed dextrose candy instead. They are for the most part grape sugar (=dextrose, a monosaccharide-- same as glucose) with a small amount of fat added along with citric acid. I can't buy the compressible dextrose myself--...

durian
They have a marvellous taste and give an overall sensation that goes beyond the taste.... You'll want to eat durian fruit of the family Bombacaceae, not Annonaceae (the latter includes a fruit called 'Dutch durian'), by the way...
