Have you ever wondered why today's society has been plagued with so much more sicknesses? Every day we hear of another disease that has just been discovered and then, bam, they found a prescription drug to "treat it". There is a reason that organic food, clothing and products are becoming more popular. We know we should eat organic, but what about the bed we spend so much of our lives in. I have put the time into researching the mass chemicals and pesticides that are put into the crops that grow the product we surround ourselves in daily.
Currently it is estimated that cotton cultivation is responsible for over 25 percent of all chemical pesticides used in American crops. On the average a grower uses 5.3 oz. of chemical to produce one pound of cotton. In fact a pesticide known as DDT was banned from the United States in 1972 because of the extreme side effects caused to humans. It aids in pesticides living in the blood stream and is virtually undetectable by any doctor. This chemical is still used in other countries where we import much of our bedding, clothing and other consumables. Skin is the largest eliminator gland in the body so it is important to realize that what we put on our skin gets absorbed into our system.
Another key point is that our skin is our first line of immunity and is extremely permeable to all chemicals. This has been proven and sets forth the reasoning that much more of today's medicine is being administered through patches. Tests have shown that this way of administering drugs is 95 percent more effective than oral medication. To most people, including myself, the labels on items we purchase seemed to convey a different language. Unfortunately we can't see what our sheets or clothing is made with, except for the main ingredient. Fluometuron, Dimethipin, Perdimethalin, Acephate and MSMA are just a few of the toxins used in the growth of cotton alone. The side effects to these include skin allergies, increase of white blood cells, damage to the nervous system, depression, liver failure, anxiety and more. It is kind of ironic that these diseases are becoming the normal, don't you think?
If you think about it, everything comes from the earth in one form or another. The bed we sleep in is made from these earthly things. Cotton, wool, latex, silk, hemp and many more are the necessities that surround our skin constantly. Shouldn't we being putting ourselves in the purest and most undisturbed fibers? Studies show that infants are already exposed to hundreds of harmful chemicals in utero. In fact according to The National Academy of Science, most of the neurological and behavioral effects are a result from low-level exposure to pesticides.
I would invite you to study up on the effects that are being shown everyday from over processed food, fabrics and everyday necessities. If you get the chance, visit an organic farm. You will find a completely different aura and a familiar zest for life. Remember it takes many to create a village but only one to destroy it. Studies are being done and options are being explored everyday to make this earth a cleaner and healthier place to live.
