Here are some points discussed in the book “Killer Clothes”:Your skin is the largest organ of elimination and absorption—what goes ON the skin goes IN the body;Synthetic fibers are such a burn hazard that the U.S. military prohibits troops from wearing them off base;Man-made fibers in sportswear can reduce an athlete’s competitive edge;Close-fitting synthetic underwear can contribute to infertility in men;To avoid any such dangers of synthetic fabric effects on yourself:In future buy natural fiber clothing, especially for your children and babies. Good options are cotton, flax, hemp, silk, wool and linen; Less common natural fiber options include alpaca, angora, camel, cashmere, mohair, ramie and saluyot;Try and buy only organic clothing when possible, certainly organic undergarments, since the reproductive organs are among the areas most sensitive to toxins;Avoid “Easy Care” and flame-retardant clothing;Start getting rid of synthetic clothing you’ve accumulated (up-cycle, reuse, recycle or donate them).Dr. Gloria Gilbère a doctor of natural health, member of American Academy of Environmental Medicine and American Naturopathic Medical Association, shares the following with us:
Which Fabric Finishes “Scream” Toxic Chemicals?Easy Care—Wrinkle-free, shrinkage-free—these garments release formaldehyde;Water Repellent—Fluoropolymers (as in Teflon) are used to repel oil and water;Flame Retardants;Bacterial and Fungicidal Chemicals—Triclosan and nano-particles are used for these purposes, dangerous neurotoxins and irritants.Fabrics containing Formaldehyde—linked to a 30 percent increase in lung cancer, skin/lung irritation and contact dermatitis. These would be clothes with the following qualities:
Anti-cling, anti-static, anti-shrinkWaterproofPerspiration-proofMoth-proof and mildew resistantChlorine resistant“The use of man-made chemicals is increasing, and at the same time we have warning signals that a variety of wildlife and human health problems are becoming more prevalent,” says Dr. Richard Dixon, Head of the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) Scotland. “It is reckless to suggest there is no link between the two and give chemicals the benefit of the doubt. Urgent action is needed to replace hazardous chemicals with safer alternatives especially in clothing and other consumer products.” Stay safe, wear safe fashion.
