Is there a correlation between Fibromyalgia / MCS and Organic Cotton Clothing ?

It appears that there is a direct relationship between Fibromyalgia and MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity). Our organic clothing brand through direct testimony of people affected, have seen how pure organic garments have helped them. The complete lack of chemicals, the refusal to use dyes,and the extreme care taken in making the clothes has facilitated the daily life of those who suffer from Fibromyalgia, MCS and Electrosensitivity.

What is "organic cotton?"

Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture. Third­-party certification organizations verify that organic producers use only methods and materials allowed in organic production. Organic cotton is grown without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. In addition, federal regulations prohibit the use of genetically engineered seed for organic farming. All cotton sold as organic in the United States must meet strict federal regulations covering how the cotton is grown.

Like organic foods 20­ years ago, the idea of organic cotton is confusing to many of us. It’s taken a little longer to catch on because the correlation isn’t as direct­. We don’t eat cotton fiber (at least we hope you don’t!) However, more people are becoming knowledgeable as to how the organic cotton movement is just as powerful and important as that of organic foods.

In addition to being one of the most widely grown crops in the world, growing conventional cotton is also one of the most chemical-­intensive. These chemicals have tremendous impact on the earth’s air, water, soil, and the health of people in cotton-growing areas. They are among the most toxic chemicals as classified by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The problem is even worse in developing countries with uninformed consumers, and lack of stable institutions and property rights. In addition to destroying the land, thousands of farmers die from exposure to these chemicals every year.

When our organic cotton brand was created, we could not imagine that our clothes could end up being a necessity. The urban lifestyle and the many chemicals and electromagnetic fields to which we are subjected daily have grown, exponentially, often requiring organic cotton fabrics in order to improve life’s quality.

Currently, there are millions of affected peoples with different pathologies triggered to chemical smells, people that feel discomfort when they use certain clothing or are close to low frequency electromagnetic fields. Thousands of these men and women remain waiting for their illness worldwide recognition. Many people, in a society that prioritizes profit above health, do not even know the reason for their condition.If you suffer from MCS or fibromyalgia, consider trying pure organic cotton to help alleviate your condition.
