A workaround for a pure $node->body

I couldn't find a way to get a clean body tag in my template file without all the extras, so I used this code instead:

$plain_node=node_load($node->nid);
print $plain_node->body;

it seems like the event module hooks to the node before it arrives to the template so I'm loading a clean version to get a clean body without "the works" that the event module adds. Can anyone review and confirm if this is the beat way to get this done?
