Thanks Imgeha for posting that link. It was very interesting indeed, and is very much my way of thinking and my way of understanding how this world has got to. I liked the part about “designed obsolescence and planned obsolescence”

It talked about “B.F.R’s” which is “brominated flame retardants” which are chemicals used in, amongst other things, pillows and mattresses…….she described them as supper toxic, and especially when we sleep with them every night...............bear with me here while I tell you a little story…….

One of my problems is that I wake up feeling worse than when I went to bed. Particularly muscle weakness lower back pain. In the morning my lower back hurts more than when I went to bed.

Some time ago I discovered that something in my duvet was a poison to me. I thought it was the feathers, but it was not feathers as I muscle tested fine for feathers. So must be some fire retardant chemicals that are put in the duvet. So I washed the duvet in some special stuff (miracle soap II) and it washed that crap out and duvet was fine. I muscle tested fine to it and I slept better, not brilliantly but better. That was 8 months ago.

After amalgam removal this lower back pain got less, not completely away…just a bit less.

I then started chelating. At first it was tricky and I needed to experiment to get the right dosage for me. I had to reduce my times for 4 to every 3 hours and reduce dosage to 6mg of dmsa. All this tinkering to find the right dose was difficult and the 4th round hurt like hell and I had to end the round early. Screwed me up good and proper that did.

After that the muscle lower back pain came back strong. Always weak lower back and it seems like its worse in the morning.

Viewing the link you just posted reminded me of the dodgy duvet and the Flame retardant chemicals…….

So I thought I’d re-test my duvet……and……….i muscle tested fine…phew!
I re-tested the pillows and blankets…..all fine……phew!

I tested my mattress…………I muscle tested weak to it. Really weak too. No question about it. I repeatedly tested various things and the mattress made me weak every single time. It was strong weak too, like when I test milk on myself….there can be no question about it……weak.

This is my chemical sensitivity rearing its ugly head.

Which is good news and bad news….

Bad news….it is new-ish and will be expensive & a hassle to change

Good news…..this could help out, big time.

So I will be sleeping in the spare room for a week now……see if I notice any difference. (I muscle tested fine on the spare room mattress.)
