Chinese factories have been dumping toxic fillers into their foam for years.
It’s been a poorly kept secret that the Chinese factories have been dumping toxic fillers into their foam for years. These fillers give the foam a fake “fuller look” and “density rating” that makes the dog bed look like a great buy... until you get it home and it flattens and falls apart in no time flat!
 Quoting: Goneviral


True

In this case, there doesn't seem to be much of a 'c*nspiracy' going on here except for the usual behavior having to do with money, aggressive business tactics, and cutting costs

The markup on mattresses seems to be almost as bad as movie theater popcorn

Looking at the finances of latex/natural vs. customary mattresses (i am not a salesman, do what you want), normal mattresses of course are cheaper but how long do they really last. In the case of a large person, sometimes only a year or so before they show significant signs of wear. In the case of a normal person, a bit longer than that.. the sturdy latex mattresses which ironically is the old school manufacturing material and method, they can last decades. So in the long term one can actually save money even though the initial investment costs more

Well thank God I've been so poor I've had to sleep on an air mattress most of the last few years. No wonder I'm so much healthier than all the bed-heads.

Some people are actually deathly allergic to memory foam. I am one of those people. Took more than 6 months to heal up from sleeping on it for 2 weeks until I figured out what was wrong.

I couldn't breathe, I couldn't sleep, got sleep anxiety, and fear of dying from not being able to breathe.

I wouldn't go with any type of memory foam no matter what.

Give me wool, cotton, natural proven materials.
 Quoting: Fluffy Pancakes


Interesting. With allergy/toxicity reaction, who would figure it is their mattress? They'll assume it is intrinsic to their own body and they are coming down with something
 Quoting: rammsteinregeln


Right? After the first week, in a sleep deprived daze, I started to contemplate what had changed. I had to sleep on the recliner as I simply couldn't breathe laying down. Thought I had sudden onset full on COPD.

There is info out there on people having issues with this, but it's not easy to find.

We actually began looking into making our own mattress.
 Quoting: Fluffy Pancakes


Having a similar experience myself lately. I have currently a conventional mattress and after waking up, feel somewhat rested but also a little 'off' in some ways. Napping on my recliner gives much more restful sleep for some reason, haven't pondered why until now

My Marine contact says changing to a non-toxic mattress has completely changed his life

Actually I just returned a 100 percent latex topper because my hips started to hurt and it was still emitting an odor after two months of use. This is from a reputable American brand. I used to have a good latex mattress but latex mattresses are out of reach financially for the majority of people.

Hello GLP
As some of you are already aware, i have a youtube channel featuring information ...... When i produced and uploaded a video recently about an anti-parasitic and anti-cancer herb for example ......



Hope you found the above interesting. Thoughts?
 Quoting: rammsteinregeln


Thank you for your post. Can you please post the link to your information about the anti parasitic/anti cancer herb. I couldn't find it.

Re: Is your bed mattress making you sick? Check this out, tons of information UPDATE PAGE 4
Thanks OP. Then you couple the toxic mattress materials with the dreadful appalling laundry chemicals used to wash the bedding.

I personally think that scented laundry products are a true conspiracy. I work in a place where there are sometimes assemblies of hundreds of schoolchildren in a closed auditorium. The reek of the laundry perfumes is overwhelming and lingers afterwards, it is near intolerable.

My theory is that the perfumed laundry products are pushed to cover up the natural pheromones of human sexual messaging.

This causes sexual confusion in young people who should be reading each other biologically. They can't get any olfactory messages through the chemical fog of toxic perfumes and chemicals.

So they don't see each other as male and female, because the way we see each other that way is animalistic and subconscious - the olfactory way.

When that's blocked out you get young people who are not communicating with each other, they aren't messaging, they aren't receiving messages, it's like they've all been blindfolded.

You see the results with people now not knowing if they are male or female, not seeing each other as male or female, and more receptive to the overt pushing of homosexuality, bisexuality, and transgenderism in school.

Unable to form lasting romantic bonds with the opposite sex as well. I think it could even destroy marriages as people need to communicate with each other biologically, physically, through pheromones, to have a lasting successful sexual relationship through life.

Truly a tool of the devil to destroy human identity and human families.

Just my take on it. Been wanting to make a thread about that for some time.

Hello GLP
As some of you are already aware, i have a youtube channel featuring information from people skilled in reading the Akashic records. This is the same technique used by famed psychic Edgar Cayce back in the early to mid 1900's. One aspect of having a public channel like this is you tend to hear from many people globally with different backgrounds, giving their own insights into topics they want to hear about etc. This is a NON-monetized channel, never made a dime from any of this and there are no ads except for what youtube automatically places in some of the videos. The channel URL is [link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

One person who contacted me is a man who claims to be a U.S. Marine with let's just say somewhat high clearance. When i produced and uploaded a video recently about an anti-parasitic and anti-cancer herb for example, he message'd me letting me know the military also uses it; other info he has sent me includes fantastic advice for prepping etc., the best meals, water filters, survival tools etc. Certain things he has told me regarding predictions of what is coming up have not come true by the way (want to include this in the interest of transparency), but many other things he has shared with me turn out to be accurate and excellent advice.

A good portion of the material i make available is about health and longevity; i ask about certain herbs and health products and that sort of thing. To preface this: i am not a doctor, none of what you are about to read is medical advice, use your own discretion and judgement for the following... recently my Marine contact, who wants to be known as 'Marine MOS 0317'; he sent some interesting information that is not well known about and pointed me in the direction of some videos that explained much more. Basically he said the mattresses we sleep on, especially those manufactured in the last few years, are doused with chemicals very toxic to the human body, including carcinogens... essentially many of us are sleeping in a 'toxic soup'. Approximately a third of our lives are spent in our beds so countless hours we are exposed to these chemicals. Especially in the U.S., we all know of people getting sick and dying at younger and younger ages; the cancer, diabetes, heart disease and major 'killer' degenerative disease condition rates are out of control and this is one aspect that could help partly explain why- although much more research needs to be done in this area. Some bullet points of what he told me:

* A few things he could write 50 pages about. A big one is pillows and bedding. 99.9% of these have HORRIBLE chemicals in/on that that cause so so so many bad effects in people. None of them know it. Most related to not catching on fire. Don’t sleep on memory foam, sprung or anything Purple. So so so bad

* In no special order : Sleep ONLY on “100% Sap of tree” latex. "I have looked into this 100s of hours, tested lots. Bedding issues are a silent killer and disease causer NOBODY talks about. It helped me and others I know"

* He mentioned two such latex-based beds that have good back support and non-toxic material. 1) Zenhaven (latex) OR 2) [link to sleepessentials.com (secure)] he says get Sleep essentials 'shredded' latex pillow regardless.. "dear g-d. LITERALLY changed my life.I have tried/tested 50+ pillows. Your life will improve in all ways, period"

* He says "Pre latex I had a Tempurpedic bed and pillows.I NEVER EVER fell asleep quickly. Average 4 hours. I would sweat like a maniac.Wake up constantly.Never had a good night sleep. Assumed it was just me, genetics and such.
My nose would run and I would itch.( I was lucky ONLY that, that I know of” I had issues common with lack of sleep. Day #1 on the Zenhaven I slept 14 or 16 hours. I have never slept that long E V E R !!! I woke up and was like ...ohhhhhh THAT’S what a good night sleep is. Every aspect of my life was just better. I am faster,stronger,think more clearly.I shoot better. My brain works better in all ways.Vision better.Sex better. Recover faster (gym).No pains.This list goes on and on. Really"

* He says both beds are great, and again suggests the SE Shredded pillow regardless. He prefers Zenhaven but has friends/family members who use both and are very happy. "The Zen is an easier ordeal.Both are nice.Cant go wrong with either. SE IS good. 2 diff kinds of REAL latex MFG process. Both good"

* I asked about the famous 'MyPillow'. If you check out amazon.com's reviews of MyPillow, they're not all that persuasive. He says "My pillow is garbage and yes tested it. Cost 50c to make. Toxic. Guy has 50 law suits for various things. Just latex alone I bet I tested 12-15. That SE “Shredded” is magic."

* He says "Mattress MFG try to keep TONS of medical issues related to the chemicals they use hush hush. Reason you never heard about it. MILLIONS of people/kids have strange medical issues related to bedding and they have NO idea whats causing it. Including a good buddy of mine, 2 kids (and himself) with cancers... all related to bedding (after YEARS of looking into why)"

* He said he could rant for hours, but to listen to what this guy says as he is 100% dead on about everything and a RARE honest person that sells stuff. He talked to this guy for 3 hours. REALLY good guy. Super religious and just real and honest. Here is the video in question, and this is where it gets REAL interesting- this is GLP on-topic as he theorizes about the chemicals placed in mattresses/bedding and why this was done. I will summarize the hour-long video's main points with time stamps/'Cliff's notes' to make it easier to wade through- somewhat lengthy video but extremely informative (perfect video to have in the background while you're working around the house or chilling):



1:50 talks about attempts to strongarm him into silence, also begins talking about polyurethane/plastic/polymer beds. These are made because they are dirt cheap and do not last long necessitating the customer buying new mattresses frequently- bigger profit margin/$

7:00 talks further about bed materials, the scams out there, huge mark-ups on extremely cheap materials, and why they don't last long. Vast majority of top brands are this polyurethane foam, some Internet based companies have 100-day trials in which the customer can send the bed back if they're not impressed but statistically not many do that

12:00 memory foam gimmicks, and why they wear out quickly ('hammock effect')

20:46 natural sap-based latex as an alternative. He's documented how long they last, the differences in synthetic and natural latex, also manufacturing differences in how latex mattresses are made now vs. years ago (shortcuts are taken today for cost cutting). Natural, pure latex has amazing durability and can last decades. One customer wrote in that her latex mattress had lasted 40+ years. Reads several letters from people with similar experiences

30:00 latex mattress manufacturing processes, technical but very interesting stuff, most latex nowadays is a synthetic blend to save money

36:05 TALKS ABOUT CHEMICALS. This is where it gets extremely interesting and revealing, this is totally GLP stuff... in 2007, the consumer products safety commission began requiring all mattresses sold in the United States to be flame-proof. Under the guise of protecting the consumer from mattress fires, this was to make the chemical industry and large mattress manufacturers wealthy. We are sleeping in chemicals to make them rich. The CPSC has a risk assessment that he shows and talks about. The chemicals used are openly very toxic. Talks about the specific chemicals, they have no clue how this will affect users' health. Heavy metals more toxic than mercury and lead are also used. Ones that mimic arsenic. One chemical is chronically toxic to the thyroid, has been shown to be harmful in animals. Common endocrine disruptor. Talks about health effects he has seen personally from users. One chemical considered acutely toxic killed pets when Chinese manufacturers included it in pet food. Formaldehyde also being used as it is a known fire-retardant. Many people report nervous system issues. They are being used to meet fire retardant requirements

43:00 graphic, lists chemicals and absorbability into the body

44:04 testimonial from woman whose mattress made her very ill, some others like it- mattress outgassing made their symptoms much worse. CPSC gives the excuse that these chemicals don't absorb enough to make anyone sick. They claim they're making the mattresses flame proof to protect people giving them enough time to escape from a fire. However this aspect typically won't save a person's life, as a fire will often kill someone through smoke inhalation long before it gets to the mattress itself

48:35 talks about ulterior motives for these chemicals being added. Again, totally GLP-worthy stuff. CPSC passes these regulations, he theorizes after doing research, because a lobby group ISPA (international sleep products association), which supports these fire retardant regulations. An article written in June 2007 (new law in effect July 2007), retail chain had their own mattress manufacturing, so instead of meeting the regulation they farmed out the manufacturing... small mattress companies would go out of business because of these new regulations which is what the large manufacturers want

52:00 summarizes CPSC regulations and what this all means for manufacturing and the consumer. The regulations he feels are a scammy way of paying certain people under the table

55:15 historical reference of what happens with taxation without representation, goes into constitutionality and congressional representatives. Intelligent stuff

56:20 he was contacted by a woman with a permanent neurological condition due to toxic chemicals in her mattress. He corresponded with her, she told him her story, wherein she documented the various health problems she came down with after using her new mattress. Hair mineral analysis revealed she has antimony in her body, which is in the mattress. She pondered a lawsuit due to this situation. He advised her finding out precisely what level or how much of the chemical she was exposed to, he tested a sample of the mattress she sent him. He sent it to a lab to have it tested. The company in question has a 'certipure' certification that their mattresses are pure and not harmful! Antimony .5 PPM as the ceiling for what is considered tolerable by the body... lab tests revealed this woman's mattress had 1757 PPM in other words thousands of times what is considered 'safe' (no wonder she got sick). The mattress AND its surface materials revealed the surface materials also contained hundreds of times the 'tolerable' level of antimony. The amount of chemicals manufacturers are using is not regulated! They should not be present at all, but they are- and the levels are very excessive... this is documented here

1:03:15 news reports done about mattresses with toxic chemicals. There is a loophole in the law that also indicates they KNOW the toxicity is excessive, interesting enough. Yes, he touts his own natural sap-based latex mattresses as an alternative, as he is a salesman. Many interesting comments in the video itself

* Some other advice from 'Marine MOS 0317' about prepping and general health: "Do not ever drink tap water. We put so much into it+ whats already in it. For home make distilled or use a “Berky” (black) add on PF2 of you can afford it
For out : bring in a SS bottle (like a yeti or similar) OR use a “Grail (orange) or Survivor filter they make the best..period. Take high dose Vit /Mins. If possible high spin mono atomic gold..or just digested gold that is white.
Fast when you can,even intermittent fast. For gods sake, NEVER use normal toothpaste...use baking soda. you WILL get use to the taste.Things will become more clear after a while. No drugs of course. Get 6000mg of Potassium a day. This is super key. Best would be from food. You need roughly 6000mg (6g) a day,EVERY day or bad things happens.Most you will not notice (quickly)..you will think :this or that is normal or just how my body/mind is. genetics and such...NO, its usually Potassium issues.And or sodium/potassium pump (google it). Most potassium pills (NOT from a DR) are really low dose and useless. You can buy bulk powder.Honestly the best way for many reasons is eating more Avacado. Other stuff has Potassium, I am sure charts exist on the net. Google something like how many people are potassium deficient and such. Most do not know this: the “RDA” is more or less the amount of stuff you need to not get sick and die,quickly. it is NOT the amounts for superior health. These numbers are much MUCH higher. Get 6000mg a day for a short time, and every aspect of you is better"

Hope you found the above interesting. Thoughts?

I bought a 100% natural Futon matress made with cotton, sheep wool and an organic Latex (rubber) core.. I sleep on it for 2 years now and am very happy.. it's not as thin as an original Japanese Futon.. it's a thicker german version with the best natural materials available..

Exactly for the reasons mentioned.. too much effing plastic in regular ones.. or springs (metal) that I don't want close to my own electromagnetic circuit at night.

Vast majority of top brands are this polyurethane foam, some Internet based companies have 100-day trials in which the customer can send the bed back if they're not impressed but statistically not many do that

12:00 memory foam gimmicks, and why they wear out quickly ('hammock effect')

20:46 natural sap-based latex as an alternative. He's documented how long they last, the differences in synthetic and natural latex, also manufacturing differences in how latex mattresses are made now vs. years ago (shortcuts are taken today for cost cutting). Natural, pure latex has amazing durability and can last decades. One customer wrote in that her latex mattress had lasted 40+ years. Reads several letters from people with similar experiences

30:00 latex mattress manufacturing processes, technical but very interesting stuff, most latex nowadays is a synthetic blend to save money

36:05 TALKS ABOUT CHEMICALS. This is where it gets extremely interesting and revealing, this is totally GLP stuff... in 2007, the consumer products safety commission began requiring all mattresses sold in the United States to be flame-proof. Under the guise of protecting the consumer from mattress fires, this was to make the chemical industry and large mattress manufacturers wealthy. We are sleeping in chemicals to make them rich. The CPSC has a risk assessment that he shows and talks about. The chemicals used are openly very toxic. Talks about the specific chemicals, they have no clue how this will affect users' health. Heavy metals more toxic than mercury and lead are also used. Ones that mimic arsenic. One chemical is chronically toxic to the thyroid, has been shown to be harmful in animals. Common endocrine disruptor. Talks about health effects he has seen personally from users. One chemical considered acutely toxic killed pets when Chinese manufacturers included it in pet food. Formaldehyde also being used as it is a known fire-retardant. Many people report nervous system issues. They are being used to meet fire retardant requirements

43:00 graphic, lists chemicals and absorbability into the body

44:04 testimonial from woman whose mattress made her very ill, some others like it- mattress outgassing made their symptoms much worse. CPSC gives the excuse that these chemicals don't absorb enough to make anyone sick. They claim they're making the mattresses flame proof to protect people giving them enough time to escape from a fire. However this aspect typically won't save a person's life, as a fire will often kill someone through smoke inhalation long before it gets to the mattress itself

48:35 talks about ulterior motives for these chemicals being added. Again, totally GLP-worthy stuff. CPSC passes these regulations, he theorizes after doing research, because a lobby group ISPA (international sleep products association), which supports these fire retardant regulations. An article written in June 2007 (new law in effect July 2007), retail chain had their own mattress manufacturing, so instead of meeting the regulation they farmed out the manufacturing... small mattress companies would go out of business because of these new regulations which is what the large manufacturers want

52:00 summarizes CPSC regulations and what this all means for manufacturing and the consumer. The regulations he feels are a scammy way of paying certain people under the table

55:15 historical reference of what happens with taxation without representation, goes into constitutionality and congressional representatives. Intelligent stuff

56:20 he was contacted by a woman with a permanent neurological condition due to toxic chemicals in her mattress. He corresponded with her, she told him her story, wherein she documented the various health problems she came down with after using her new mattress. Hair mineral analysis revealed she has antimony in her body, which is in the mattress. She pondered a lawsuit due to this situation. He advised her finding out precisely what level or how much of the chemical she was exposed to, he tested a sample of the mattress she sent him. He sent it to a lab to have it tested. The company in question has a 'certipure' certification that their mattresses are pure and not harmful! Antimony .5 PPM as the ceiling for what is considered tolerable by the body... lab tests revealed this woman's mattress had 1757 PPM in other words thousands of times what is considered 'safe' (no wonder she got sick). The mattress AND its surface materials revealed the surface materials also contained hundreds of times the 'tolerable' level of antimony. The amount of chemicals manufacturers are using is not regulated! They should not be present at all, but they are- and the levels are very excessive... this is documented here

1:03:15 news reports done about mattresses with toxic chemicals. There is a loophole in the law that also indicates they KNOW the toxicity is excessive, interesting enough. Yes, he touts his own natural sap-based latex mattresses as an alternative, as he is a salesman. Many interesting comments in the video itself

* Some other advice from 'Marine MOS 0317' about prepping and general health: "Do not ever drink tap water. We put so much into it+ whats already in it. For home make distilled or use a “Berky” (black) add on PF2 of you can afford it
For out : bring in a SS bottle (like a yeti or similar) OR use a “Grail (orange) or Survivor filter they make the best..period. Take high dose Vit /Mins. If possible high spin mono atomic gold..or just digested gold that is white.
Fast when you can,even intermittent fast. For gods sake, NEVER use normal toothpaste...use baking soda. you WILL get use to the taste.Things will become more clear after a while. No drugs of course. Get 6000mg of Potassium a day. This is super key. Best would be from food. You need roughly 6000mg (6g) a day,EVERY day or bad things happens.Most you will not notice (quickly)..you will think :this or that is normal or just how my body/mind is. genetics and such...NO, its usually Potassium issues.And or sodium/potassium pump (google it). Most potassium pills (NOT from a DR) are really low dose and useless. You can buy bulk powder.Honestly the best way for many reasons is eating more Avacado. Other stuff has Potassium, I am sure charts exist on the net. Google something like how many people are potassium deficient and such. Most do not know this: the “RDA” is more or less the amount of stuff you need to not get sick and die,quickly. it is NOT the amounts for superior health. These numbers are much MUCH higher. Get 6000mg a day for a short time, and every aspect of you is better"

Hope you found the above interesting. Thoughts?

I bought a 100% natural Futon matress made with cotton, sheep wool and an organic Latex (rubber) core.. I sleep on it for 2 years now and am very happy.. it's not as thin as an original Japanese Futon.. it's a thicker german version with the best natural materials available..

Exactly for the reasons mentioned.. too much effing plastic in regular ones.. or springs (metal) that I don't want close to my own electromagnetic circuit at night.

Can you provide more information on this?

One person who contacted me is a man who claims to be a U.S. Marine with let's just say somewhat high clearance. When i produced and uploaded a video recently about an anti-parasitic and anti-cancer herb for example, he message'd me letting me know the military also uses it; other info he has sent me includes fantastic advice for prepping etc., the best meals, water filters, survival tools etc. Certain things he has told me regarding predictions of what is coming up have not come true by the way (want to include this in the interest of transparency), but many other things he has shared with me turn out to be accurate and excellent advice.


Especially the anti parasitic/anti cancer herbs.
 Quoting: Jmcc1155 69423425


Yes, definitely

The herb is called 'artemesinin', here is my video on it where i consulted the Akashic records about it



I asked him how the military uses it, he responded with the following:

"the med tech guy I know: (broad strokes) It seems to seek out and destroy bad things.Somehow it can select what is bad and not.(what he was saying is past my medical training) We have a micronized gell that is sweet. In a small pack like a McDonalds ketchup packet.Each is single serving. Taken under the tongue for 60 sec or so then swallow. It seems the special sweetener causes a small insulin spike that helps it absorb. He mumbled something like dextro rotated glucose...something. Has some vits/mins also including iron for whatever reason. This herb can and does MANY other good things (killing related)"

The information out there regarding this herb is that it is most effective when iron is also supplemented, because iron uptake of the cancer cells somehow helps the artemisinin target it(?), something to that effect. It increases its effectiveness. Check out the Amazon reviews of artemesinin, people are generally very happy with it

Some time back he told me he was hearing there would be a serious earthquake (never happened thankfully). That is one of the things he told me that turned out to be a dud. Otherwise he has given much worthwhile information

I spent over $3K on a top-of-the-line Temperpedic mattress. I was going through menopause, and the mattress store told me it would help me keep cool. I felt like I was laying on a hot stove, and the store would not let me return it for a refund.

I have not slept on it for over 3 years. Now I sleep on my old futon that I bought in the 80’s. I use a My Pillow, it’s not perfect, but it’s better than the 30 other pillows I have tried.

Good info, OP.

I saw that the payment is taken in pounds, although I didn't explore more than the first page.

Do they take English currency, and ship to the States?
