Excessive Body Odor Is A Sign You Need A Cleanse
Last week I was consulted by a lady in her 40s who was slightly overweight at 180 pounds. Although she looked well she complained of bloating and unpleasant body odor and excessive sweating.
Whilst I was doing her physical examination she pointed out to me the areas where she sweated – these were armpits and under her breasts and the skin was slightly red and brownish in color, as if it was stained. She was tender over her colon and her abdomen looked bloated. Her tongue was coated with a whitish-green film and she had a few small pimples around her nose and on her cheeks (acne rosacea).
I tested the areas where her skin was stained to see if I could culture any bacteria or fungi and the swabs came back clear. I tested the pH of her saliva and urine and she was in the acidic range (low pH).
She had all the signs of a liver that was not efficient at removing toxins from her bloodstream. The main route for excretion of toxins should be via the bowel and urine and when these are not working well or become overloaded, you can get a furry tongue and acidic smelling sweat. Skin breakouts are also more likely to occur. Not good for your health or self esteem.
Her diet was not that wonderful; she did not eat enough vegetables and no raw salads.
To improve the efficiency of her detox pathways and colon I suggested the following:
- Livatone Plus at a dose of 2 capsules twice daily with food. Livatone Plus contains the nutrients your liver needs to support the phase 1 and phase 2 detoxification pathways. Commonly these pathways get overloaded because toxins are not getting broken down at a fast enough pace. When this happens, toxins build up in the body and try to find another excretion route. Excessive offensive perspiration is one possible consequence.
- Colon Detox capsules at a dose of 2 capsules in the morning and 2 capsules in the evening. Colon Detox capsules contain ground flaxseeds, pectin and psyllium which all help to bind with gut toxins, soften the stool and aid the excretion of toxins through the bowel. I have found time and again that when my patients experience improved bowel function, it becomes so much easier for them to lose weight and their skin clears up beautifully.
- Digestive Enzymes capsules at a dose of one capsule with each meal. My patient was not digesting her food properly and that was leaving her bloated and uncomfortable after meals. If you don’t produce adequate digestive enzymes, undigested food will remain in your intestines, leaving you feeling tired after meals. The undigested food promotes the overgrowth of bad bacteria and Candida in the bowel.
- Raw vegetable juices. I have found raw vegetable juicing to provide a fast and powerful way to detox. My patients who regularly drink vegetable juice experience more energy, better moods, a clearer head and improved quality of sleep. Juices are also a good way to overcome bad breath and bad body odor. I specifically asked my patient to include cucumber, mint, parsley, green apple, fresh ginger and orange in her juices. They will help to make her body more alkaline.
- I asked her to follow the eating plan in my book The Liver Cleansing Diet.
Bad breath and bad body odor cause a lot of embarrassment and low self esteem but I have found the above strategies to be extremely effective in my patients.

As the article says, when body odor is a problem look to the liver and give it a good cleanse.
Raised body temperature is not expected to be associated with your antiperspirant, it is probably your liver asking for help.
Raised body temperature may also be associated with an overactive thyroid so have that checked out to make sure.
The supplements in the article are all very good for the liver, but unfortunately we are no longer able to make Colon Detox so replace it with Ultimate Gut Health while still taking Livatone Plus – 2 capsules twice daily, Digestive Enzymes – 1 to 2 capsules with every meal, fresh vegetable juices – at least 1 cup daily and following The Liver Cleansing Diet.

If the normal body odor removal strategies are not working it may be that you have liver congestion or poor digestive clearance.
Chlorophyll and vegetable juices provide alkalinizing factors and both have little sugar, which is very acidifying.
Body odor is usually diet related because the foods you eat dictate the microbiome you have.
The microbiome is dynamic and our diet determines which species are fed and which ones are starved.
An anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle is recommended, and Dr Cabot’s 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program is designed to boost liver health, alkalinize the whole body, and heal soothe and calm the digestive tract.
To improve liver function begin taking Livatone Plus - 2 capsules twice daily, and to improve digestion begin taking Zinc - 1 capsule daily, Fibertone - 2 to 3 times daily, Magnesium powder or tablets - 400mg elemental daily and Probiotics - 1 capsule daily.

Strong body odor is usually indicating that it is not excreting its wastes efficiently.
Constipation is often a sign that there is a magnesium deficiency so begin taking 400mg of powder or tablets daily.
Dr Cabot now has launched her 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program for those with limited time to undertake the Liver Cleansing Diet.

My body i feel has been up and down, however i do believe my metabolism has been playing up, because before vegan, i was a healthy 54/60kg, exercising also. Now still exercising, im around 70kg and it doesnt seem to reduce.
Since then, i no longer want to work in an office, luckily after so many years, i found a remote role which i am still enjoying. However, i now have bad social anxiety, i feel that my body odor is not from my underarm, but now my actual body. I believe i have something wrong with my gut. Im currently getting my poo examined, waiting for blood test, waiting to see a dermatologist, however after all this fear, i dont want them to hopefully come back and say my test are negative.
I know i get stared at everytime i walk near a person and even when im not sweating. Its ruining my social life and mentality. Only places i go right now is my family. They say they cant smell anything, but do others who are not family can?
Symptoms are : runny poo, hardly ever solid anymore, headaches even when i eat breakfast and lunch, feeling faint, sweating at night but not a lot, like hot flushes. My gas smelling of the foods i consume. Bloating. Body odor i know i have, depression.
From what i mentioned, can you narrow down to what it could be? About 2 weeks ago, i started to slowly eat eggs and chicken just to see something but no change. Im not going back to vegan, however it could be an overgrowth of something internal and also how do doctors be able to tell. Can they detect ‘leaky gut’ from a poo sample?
Many thanks, for reading.
Your symptoms are indicating liver congestion and you may have an enlarged liver or Fatty Liver.
Many people have adverse effects of a high plant based diet and we recommend you to Dr Cabot’s 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program.
Supplementation is also advised and Dr Cabot prescribes Livatone Plus, NAC and Magnesium powder or tablets to ease your anxiety.

As your body adjusts to your new dietary regimen the body odor may begin to become less noticeable.
Dr Cabot’s 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program removes toxins, boosts liver function and also encourages a wide variety of beneficial organisms in your microbiome to enable very effective digestion and metabolism.
Vegetable juices are beneficial, and we encourage you to include cilantro to absorb the chemicals that may be leading to increased body odor.
Constipation cannot be ignored when body odor is present because the longer food matter is in your digestive tract the more smelly biproducts may be produced and then released through your skin, so please begin taking Fibertone twice to three times daily to effect faster transit time of your stool.
