Actually, he is just one practical guy who knows how to take care of himself in a not-so-common way 😁😊😸👌

[@lliamjurdom9505]

Certainly many things we do are up for analysis .... Ive got a friend that has never brushed his teeth in his life and has no cavities ...

[@morplagro1545]

I stopped brushing my teeth and don't get them anymore 🤷‍♂

[@pabloduque579]

You're lying

[@j.s.216]

His argument is that we need the natural bacteria on our skin. Humans have lived with it long before the industrialized world. But that’s just it. The industrial world is what is now on our skin. What is his solution for people who live in cities and densely industrialized areas where the air is polluted with toxins and their pores are filled with airborne chemicals and “unnatural” elements. Those are surely not doing any good to our skin biome, right?

[@MartyJackson]

Interesting point

[@nicolehill6422]

Being heavily exposed to environmental toxins implies, based on what James is saying, that it’s even more important to maintain a healthy skin barrier (natural oils). Rinsing your skin with filtered water would likely be his recommendation.

I learned in Nursing School that Water is Life. Cleanliness is part of health. Plus a daily shower makes me feel so good. Count me out. I keep taking showers. Daily

[@TheMadRabbit0wnzu]

It's about the soaps used and the chemicals your body absorbs 😂 and you say you went to nursing school. What did you learn and actually double check on? If you were smart you would know alot more than your ignorant comment lol

[@TheMidnightModder]

And he's showing that "being clean" is actually destroying your health... sooo... I tend to trust researchers more than the nurses. Nurses are the last to get the information.

[@morplagro1545]

water is not the problem

[@shadownor]

I hope he washes his bum bum

[@jaynie35uk]

That was my first thought...

[@teresaolofson2221]

So he has no odor in the important parts of the body? Surely he uses a skin brush to get off the dead skin?

[@morplagro1545]

no, the idea is to let your body regulate itself, have the mites take care of dead skin cells, good bacteria keep the bad in check, etc.

[@michaelkmiotek7965]

He was the inspiration for Fifty First Dates. Get it?

[@LarryBanks85]

That is nasty.

[@BEAUTIINBRAVERY]

So how does he clean himself? I'm curious 🤔

[@JennyGgeneration]

He invented a body spray called MOTHER DIRT

[@blakeroff9205]

He doesn't, he's AI generated. You think that's a joke. It's not

[@b3autiful13]

He’s definitely not washing his ass

[@ChaddicusFinch]

Lmfao

[@MrMENOVA]

Yeah seriously what about that five year stink? Couldn't be healthy to get hemorrhoids down there.

[@mrsmiley707]

​@MrMENOVA dat five year filth is no joke I bet it leads to five year funk or five year fungus

[@bpet2237]

When I was 24 I stopped washing my face for 5 yrs. My acne got slightly better but was still bad. Then I started using differin gel, salicylic acid wash every other day, and moisturizer. My skin has been clear, I look younger, and looks smoother for 2 yrs now. I’m curious to what he would say about this

[@cesarhdz4326]

Looks like tom holland

[@googleuser4772]

What sort of clothing does Sam wear ? C'mon lol white shirt & black tie. Kerrie Ann kennerlie killed it with Host flash designer appropriate outfits.

[@hikerinpam33]

Scam....... There's no way he's a doctor. Does anyone understand how long it takes to become a Dr... He looks 18

[@morplagro1545]

how is someone telling you NOT to spend money a scam XD, you are a goofy person

[@kimorox813]

He is 41, he just happens to not look his age
