Back in 2008 the founder of DTS Naturals was having an issue with his lymph nodes. They were swollen and out of control, so his doctor sent him to a surgeon. The surgeon suggested removal of some lymph nodes as a form of treatment but told him to change his routine. He suggested to change his soaps and other personal care items. He suggested a popular antibiotic soap, but after using that commercial soap his skin was very dry, itchy and flaking, which sent him on a mission to help himself.
