What’s worse, the majority of the bedding itself contains toxic substances-often polysyllabic petro-polymers derived from chemicals you’d rather not pronounce, let alone sleep on. These chemicals won’t just make you toss and turn…many of them have been tied organ and central nerve damage in addition to being highly carcinogenic.

The worst offender is mattress glue, and good luck finding a mattress without it. Since these cancer-causing molecules are suspended in water, they continually evaporate whenever your body heat rubs it the wrong way.

Many people are replacing their old box-spring bedding for a memory foam mattress but even many of the premium brands employ unsafe polymers which can cause asthma, heart and liver problems, and worse. Not only that, but to cover up the odor of polyurethane, synthetic memory foam manufacturers utilize perfumes and air fresheners which themselves contain unsavory ingredients.

Recently, we had the chance to stay at the house of a friend who sleeps on the clouds of Heaven. After a thorough cleansing, we were granted the privilege of a single night in a bed made entirely of natural latex foam . Our host slept in the hammock, and we were definitely in a better mood in the morning than he was. Fortunately, we’d done the dishes.

I was intrigued, so I got online and learned more about toxic beds than I ever wanted to know. Apparently we’d slept in a one-of-kind creation, which was not only the smoothest ride I’ve taken to dreamland in a long time, but the product of an environmentally friendly company as well.

In addition to manufacturing the most natural bedding this side of a pile of leaves, they have managed to produce them with 88 percent less waste. Essentia Mattresses offer more than comfort…they add their environmental dream of a cleaner and healthier planet to ours.

All three thumbs up from me!

Surf Your Biowaves: Use Your Biorhythms to Ensure Greater Success

Biorhythm charts illustrate the physical, emotional, and intellectual cycles that we as humans go through.

Biorhythm cycle calculations were originally defined by Dr. Wilhelm Fliess through case studies of his patients after he observed certain universally corresponding rhythms. From these observations was derived the study and calculation of biowaves.

Since the turn of the twentieth century, the study of these diagrams has brought great benefit, whether real or imagined, to subscribers of biorhythmics. A great deal of controversy has quite naturally raged over the value and accuracy of biorhythm theory, which to skeptical minds is grouped with practices such as astrology, palmistry, and the reading of tea leaves.

Proponents of biochronometry point out that although this protoscience is still speculative in many facets, it is already an established interdisciplinary area of scientific study and practice. The effect that biorhythms have on humans is still being extensively studied, although experimental results generally cannot be replicated and are still inconclusive.

To calculate and view your personalized upcoming primary biorhythm cycles enter your birth date below.

The Biorhythm Kit: Plan for the ups and downs in your life

The three primary biorhythm cycles are:

Emotional: This cycle tracks the stability and energy of your psyche and general outlook on life, as well as your capacity to connect with other people. Emotions also affect communication and creativity. The emotional curve is a 28 day cycle.

Intellectual: This cycle tracks your verbal, mathematical, logical, and analytical abilities. The intellectual curve consists of a 33 day cycle.

Physical: This cycle tracks your coordination, strength, and well-being. The physical curve has a cycle of 23 days.

Keeping track of naturally recurring cycles is an effective method of optimize your energetic assets.

The holistic health community is scrambling for autonomy, as pending FDA legislation proposes to regulate the nutritional supplement industry. This wide-sweeping measure likely will not fulfill the fears that alarmists project, but the attempt to hijack yet another basic liberty, under the banner of safety, highlights a trend that appropriates personal choices to medical review.

Smacking of globalism, the Trilateral Commission’s Codex is an ironic reversal of U.S. ideological imperialism: alternative remedies and health products could be redefined as restricted drugs, as part of an attempt to bring Uncle Sam in line with stricter guidelines across either border.

Substances with any physiological effect inside the body might be regarded as a “drug,” completing the absurdity which fails to distinguish between pharmaceutical products and the fruits of nature. Even water could theoretically fall under new strict regulations.

For that matter, why not air? Oxygen is an extremely addictive drug. To witness the tremendous changes air can cause in a body, simply do without it for a few minutes.

If we are to believe the very frightened folks organized against adopting the Anti-CAM guidelines, passage could lead to a prescription requirement for vitamins and enzyme therapy. Well, maybe the mainstream will be roused to protest.

Miscategorizing and restricting medicinal herbs is nothing new; enforcing arcane prohibitions against plants, such as cannabis, has made the Murican prison industry the envy of the world’s tyrannies. More recently, the Chinese herb Ma Huang, or ephedra, has fallen prey to the ban-happy FDA’s presumption of power, after over four thousand years’ use as a natural remedy for respiration-related illnesses and learning disabilities.

At work is a profound prejudice against those induced states of mind which have not been specifically authorized by the real drug dealers, who are content to spew out pharmacological tweaks, designed for every condition, from everyday anxiety, to a reduced inability to respond to the prospect of sex.

The medicalization of marijuana has always struck me as a mediocre half-measure for this very reason, despite being an irresistible sop to the decriminalization movement. Not because bringing healing herbs to the ill shouldn’t be a priority, but because equating herbs with synthetic chemicals begs the deeper constitutional, and even theological, questions about government domain, which come about when human beings deign to issue legislation against a plant.

As usual, the real motivation behind this power grab is to promote the pharmaceutical stranglehold on health care dollars. Ultimately, few serious freedoms are threatened if a couple of vitamin companies get elbowed off the shelves. The true risk is that the precedent will be advanced even further to attack freedom of thought.

Regardless of what the Supreme Court has been stacked to say, it ought to be obvious to any eighth grader that the Constitution does not extend dominion over nature to federal agencies.

So for those who stood still for the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act, and the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, and the hysteria-filled removal of ephedra in 2004-they are coming for your Echinacea, your amino acids, your b-complex energy blend. Years of collective complacency are paying off for the corporate oligarchy that will someday own and license the very atmosphere we breathe.
