Why Organic Cotton?

My Natural Health Detox – How I Cut Toxins in Australia

1. Ditch Chemical Cleaners (the biggest win)

  • Swapped all supermarket detergents, dishwasher tablets and rinse aids for 3-ingredient homemade versions
    • No more phthalates, 1,4-dioxane or formaldehyde on plates and clothes
    • Costs <15 ¢ per load and actually works (full recipe laundry and dishes)

2. Plastics & PFAS Out

  • Glass, stainless steel or ceramic only for food/drink storage
  • Silicone lids instead of cling wrap
    • No more “forever chemicals” leaching into food

3. EMF Protection – Aussie Edition

Non-native EMF (nnEMF) from phones, Wi-Fi and 5G opens voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) leading to inflammation & poor sleep.

My simple daily fixes:

  • Phone on aeroplane mode at night
  • Wi-Fi router off 10 pm – 7 am (timer plug $12 at Bunnings)
  • No wireless earbuds: wired or loudspeaker
  • Stand 2 m from microwave when it’s on
  • No LEDs, Incandescent after dark, red-light before bed
  • Asleep at 10pm

4. Leptin Reset & Cold Exposure (Dr Jack Kruse basics)

  • 30–50 g protein within 30 min of sunrise
  • Face east to set your circadian rhythm
  • Cold showers or ocean swim for metabolism boost, especially in winter

5. Whole-Food & Fasting

  • Grass-fed meat, wild fish, free-range eggs, organic veg
  • Zero seed oils, zero processed sugar
  • Give blood every quarter

6. Clothing – Skin Is Your Biggest Organ

  • Only GOTS organic cotton tees (DTG-printed – no plastisol nasties)
  • One pre-wash: PFAS and formaldehyde are basically zero

Result after 18 months: sleep 7.5h solid, no afternoon crashes, skin clear, zero allergies.
