Great article. Been following your work for a couple years. My wife and I started a non toxic plastic free activewear company called Silver Sea Apparel to combat this exact problem. We became aware of this as we were in the process of starting our own family a few years back and realized there aren’t many great options out there. We also test our products using a third party to ensure there is no measurable level of these toxins like BPA, PFAS and many others.

The four fabrics you mentioned are close to what we identified as the best fabrics if your goal is to limit exposure to toxins, maximize performance and reduce environmental waste during production.

Tencel Lyocell, organic cotton, organic linen and organic hemp are the best fabrics. If you expand to include materials made from animals then merino wool is another great material that meets all the requirements I listed above. Only downside is if you put merino wool in the dryer it shrinks significantly.

If you’re trying to avoid toxins in your clothes, it’s kind of counterintuitive to advocate wearing clothes made from plants grown using a bunch of fertilizers, pesticides, and toxins.

Do you sell on -line?

We do. If you google Silver Sea Apparel, we should pop up or you can visit https://silverseaapparel.com/

We spent the past two years sampling and testing hundreds of fabrics to identify the best from a performance, non toxic, and comfort perspective and then designing the styles. Then we launched last summer with a couple womens styles and over recent weeks have rolled out a couple mens styles. Boxers should be out this fall and we are working on joggers, shorts, and a few more womens styles

Aha! I knew going commando was the best way. Now I have scientific proof to back that up.

I always launder new clothes before wearing. A man in our rural community was the only smallpox survivor in a family were 17 died. One brother ordered a suit for graduation from the Sears and Robebuck catalogue that was contaminated with smallpox. In this day of bio weapons and gain of function research, I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Remembering the blankets that infected Natives of the land now referred to as the USA.

ORGANIC food, clothes, EVERTHING, is where it's at - This is how I live since 1963!

Keep up the great work and delivering those wonderful speaking points for those who are cloaked by darkness.

In truth, we shall survive.

I fear Bill Gates will get a big chunk of his depopulation agenda from those who were vaccinated. I hope he and the mRNA vaccine pharmaceutical companies are all driven bankrupt by class action law suits. God bless you and every Patriot. 🇺🇸🙏

Don't forget the unshiel

"AI Overview

Dr. Devra Davis, an expert on electromagnetic radiation, delivered a Dean's Lecture discussing the potential health risks associated with cell phone and wireless radiation. The lecture covered the evolution of mobile phones, current radiation safety standards, policy developments, and new global studies on the health consequences of this radiation.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Expert Speaker:

The lecture was given by Dr. Devra Davis, President of Environmental Health Trust, an internationally recognized expert on electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones and other wireless devices.

Key Topics:

The lecture addressed the following key areas:

Evolution of Mobile Phones: The lecture likely discussed how mobile phone technology has advanced and the increasing prevalence of wireless devices.

SAR Standards: The lecture likely covered Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) standards, which are used to measure the rate at which the body absorbs radio frequency energy from mobile phones.

Policy and Legislation: The lecture likely discussed international and national policies related to cell phone radiation and the efforts to regulate exposure.

Health Consequences: A major focus of the lecture was on new research and studies exploring the potential health effects of cell phone radiation, particularly on the developing brain and other vulnerable populations.

Specific Concerns:

Dr. Davis has presented evidence showing that the developing brain is more susceptible to radiation exposure than adult brains. She also highlighted that some countries have implemented policies to reduce children's exposure to cell phone radiation.

Call to Action:

The lecture likely emphasized the need for precautionary measures to minimize exposure, such as using hands-free devices, texting instead of calling when possible, and keeping phones away from the body."

Signal focuses on back of phone so place with phone face against body.

If that is true, why does the phone access towers in every direction?

I have to assume that you didn't bother to watch the video of Dr. Devra Davis, or you'd know better.

As a knitter, I had looked into bamboo as a yarn--and read that its translation into a textile product involves a very high rate of chemicals, so perhaps not so "earth-friendly" as we are told to believe. Linen and cotton, yes. Husband and I sleep on 100% linen sheets (IKEA). I would urge you to include wool in your list, and also silk. High quality, fine micron wool is very comfortable, and (like silk) it "modulates" heat--and also can hold 30% of its weight in water and still provide warmth.

Merino wool???

Jake Foy's avatar

Yes merino wool is another great material. We originally focused only on plant based materials but merino wool has all the qualities I look for in fabric - naturally moisture wicking & antibacterial, breathable, non toxic…it is in the top 5 if you expand selection beyond plant based.

Also worth noting that bamboo is a more complicated one to assess since there are certainly pros and cons…depends on whether we’re talking bamboo linen (aka natural bamboo) or the much more common bamboo viscose which uses more toxins to produce

I wear merino wool underwear year around. The merino wool tshirts in summer. Socks as well. I don’t use dryer anymore and instead rack dry as that material dries fast.

So, this is how the sock puppets try to hide the fact that the mRNA tox shot is making people infertile? The spike protein gathers in the gonads and the ovaries. That's why you are not able to conceive.

Just FYI: There is a dramatic difference between soaps and detergents for washing laundry. If you react badly to detergents, it takes roughly ten launderings with soap to remove detergent residues from fabrics. Moms with kids with dermatitis need to know this. If you want to remove soap residues, it takes only one wash with detergents to remove 99.9% of them. But soaps, (old-fashioned fatty-acid salts without added detergents) are almost universally benign. This can be important when washing machines (or dryers) are used by multiple people where you do not know what additives they are using. Dryer sheets deposit chemicals throughout the dryer surfaces.

Eczema and Tide or any regular detergent dont mix. We had to switch to all Natural and at one time just Borax and washing soda. And never any fabric softener.

Appreciate this, Vigilant Fox.

At one time only cotton or silk was available. I love both. I also like linen. Haven’t tried hemp or bamboo undies.

If ya don’t have those, don’t wear the other stuff.
