This sounds really weird but it actually works! Okay, part of my pre-torture preparation for a colonoscopy includes three days of taking Milk of Magnesia prior to the actual day. Have never taken it before in my life and needless to say am not a happy camper to have had to pay about $8.00 for a 12 ounce bottle of a product for which only need a total of 6 tablespoons. So what to do with the rest of the bottle? Go online and search for uses of Milk of Magnesia!

I was so skeptical when reading people say it works as a deodorant substitute. I read all of the testimonials and then proceeded to call the nurse at my gastroenterologist's office. I asked if she had ever heard any such thing. Indeed she had and apparently over 90% of the people she has ever talked to about it that have tried it say it works great for them. Of course, I had to test it myself. My official deodorant will now be Milk of Magnesia!

The reason it works so well is because it is an alkaline suspension which neutralizes anything acidic. Perspiration is acidic. Makes sense to me since Milk of Magnesia is used to reduce stomach acids.

Besides the fact that it does not contain aluminum like standard deodorant, it also turns out to cost far less per fluid ounce. It's unscented and I find it does not stain clothing. Simply dab it on with a cotton ball or a finger or you can purchase disposable roll-on bottles. I found several bottles online on eBay and Amazon at really good prices but am happy to not even bother to spend the money and simply dab it on ;-)

Some over the counter medications can be administered to pets. Check with your vet. This is a page about, "Can I give milk of magnesia to my dog?".
