+Re: Reduce exposure to bromine and flame retardands

June 8, 2011

Hi Big Al,

I don't think I ever drank mountain dew in my life, and less than one soda a

year, and I hardly ever ate conventional bread (90+% organic, whole grain

sprouted or rye), but you are mistaken that the bromine in the mattresses,

upholstery and carpets is harmless.

I got sick from sleeping on a memory foam mattress, we had switched from a

natural untreated (but hard) futon and within 1/2 a year my cat and I hat

thyroid troubles, my husband lost his job and had no energy to find a new one

and was acting like someone with thyroid troubles (and refuses to get it

tested). We turned from well paid professionals, high energy people who stood on

top of Mt Whitney and Mt Shasta within a week, and didn't think 60 miles on foot

was too much for a weekend into couch potatoes, as for my part more or less

incapable of working.

Google polybrominated and you'll see.
