Synthetic fibers reduce your biofield. This can be tested. Linen is probably the best and can enhance a person's natural biofield. Cotton is close. Synthetic fibers on the other hand, reduce the body's natural resonance and biofield. God knew what He was doing.
cotton and linen are my absolute must-have fabrics! also wool shoes from Taos Footwear (not advertising, just sharing info) are the best and oddly enough, the coolest shoes for breathability even in summer! also leather or cotton footwear! i read that the largest sweat pores are in our feet, so am careful to have breatheable footwear, especially in the horrible 100's temperatures in Texas!
Linen can be scratchy, makes my skin itch and uncomfortable, is there a certain brand that you can share that is soft and doesn't make skin itchy or irritated?
I have been buying and wearing that light crinkle cotton material clothing lately. It's so comfortable but baggy because it's cotton and no stretch. I keep waiting for them to go on sale because that type of clothing is not cheap.
Preshrunk cotton is less so, but in the long haul, shrinking is always a problem. But for purely health reasons, blends are not good because they sap energy and have toxins. So, it boils down to what your objectives are.
Well, if you follow https://www.whitehouse.gov/maha/ , shrinking isn't as much a problem with the weight loss possible. Start following their corrected food pyramid and cutting out all the processed food and sugary drinks. It takes a while to adjust to it, but I've easily dropped 15 pounds avoiding the garbage stuff as much as possible.
my "go to" places are Coldwater Creek and LL Bean...the "cotton gauze" weave is very light weight and cool...also, Tractor Supply has been carrying the Wrangler Retro brand of cotton shirts that are great too! good luck!
This is great, since i was a child i hated polyester and would immediately start feeling sick when i put it on. I just thought their was something wrong with me for so many years because everyone else could wear polyester without a problem.
I wore polyester for years, but hated it. Especially in Texas summers. Eventually I had mostly natural fibers. But when I wore the polyester pants? They literally drove me bat sh*t crazy. Now I won't touch it.
Agriculture Secretary Rollins plan: “Thursday, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced The Great American Cotton Plan, an effort to help revitalize the nation's cotton-producing industry to move Americans back toward wearing natural fibers as opposed to plastic materials and other pontially [potentially] toxic fibers.”
MAHA “Working in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the campaign highlights cotton’s superior breathability, biodegradability, and reduced microplastic shedding—addressing growing concerns about synthetic fibers releasing thousands of plastic particles annually into the environment and potentially into our bodies.”
The risks of synthetics
“”Natural fibers like cotton, wool, linen, and silk are said to offer superior benefits for human health and comfort. They are highly breathable, allowing air circulation and moisture wicking, which regulates body temperature and reduces skin irritation. Biodegradable and hypoallergenic, they also minimize allergic reactions and feel softer against the skin.
“In contrast, synthetic fabrics such as polyester and nylon, derived from petroleum, often contain harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, azo dyes, and PFAS. These can cause skin rashes, hormonal disruptions, and respiratory issues through prolonged contact or off-gassing.”

(part of it is nonsense, the John Veltheim “units” stuff.) Getting past that, the takeaway:
a) The Triboelectric Effect (static) - synthetic materials like polyester buildup heavy static charge when they rub against your body plastic grabs electrons skin loses them.
b) Moisture absorption well and cotton absorb moisture from the air, which allows them to naturally dissipate static. This is measurable, called moisture regain.
Research wanted, there’s journal articles on synthetic materials and interaction with skin cells, but would like to find a non-journal writeup from experts writing for MAHA, stuff other than Science Direct.
Perhaps it's more about the cheapness of the unnatural fibers? They're plastic after all, and some are even recycled plastic. Cotton, on the other hand, has to be grown.
The only way to get affordable cotton clothes is shopping on resale sites like eBay and other similar sites. It’s under the vintage tag and it’s usually not cheap. But it’s cheaper than the 100% cotton new clothes.
interesting that this issue is coming up...about a decade ago, American Airlines changed out their uniforms for Flight Attendants...the new uniforms had a noxious odor about them from the beginning, then some people got sick wearing them for work, and others refused to wear them at all...company never said what kind of material was in them...a longtime F/A friend hung her uniform up in her house to try to air it out from the odor, and her central air unit picked up the odor and distributed it throughout the house, and suddenly her Cockatoo fell dead from its' perch, never having been sick...due to all the employee complaints, the company went back to the prior uniforms...no telling what was in/on the fabric...true story, substantiated by several F/A friends as well...

If you can't wear the linen, at the very least wear 100% cotton. At least the cotton does not disrupt the biofield of your body.
Cotton shrinks too much. I prefer a blend that will be durable and not shrink.

Not sure what food has to do with choosing fabric types. ????
Quince has nice linen clothing, it’s pricy but good quality and they’re pretty upfront about their production costs

Thanks! ☺️
This is good stuff.
This is great, since i was a child i hated polyester and would immediately start feeling sick when i put it on. I just thought their was something wrong with me for so many years because everyone else could wear polyester without a problem.
sounds really difficult, I had mold and pollen allergies
cheers to health for the future, cotton, wool, linen whichever works for individual health needs!

Sounds like good news. I try to find all cotton clothing for the health benefits but 100% is very hard to find and not cheap, which is very odd to me.

Assuredly too late for my generation and the one just behind me.
NOTE I should have said following my generation.
It's never too late to heal.

Imagining Pres. Trump, Sec. RFK. Jr. and some f/a in unison saying: See!
really bad chemical (s) - tragic for the Cockatoo
