As a Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist, I take a different approach to treatment and prevention of work related injuries. After a thorough neurological examination, I determine which part of nervous system is not functioning properly.

The right brain controls left side of body, and left brain controls right side of body. If patient is experiencing pain on one side of body (right or left), opposite brain may be firing at an abnormally high rate. In order for patient to perceive pain, an area of brain must fire at a higher frequency of firing. If pain is bilateral (on both sides), there may be different central structures involved, such as brain stem or cerebellum.

No matter what condition, it is imperative that chiropractic neurologist performs a thorough comprehensive exam to determine exact nature of patient's condition.

The solution to this problem is to use organic cotton sheets and pillowcases on your bed. As concern has grown over pesticides in conventionally grown cotton and phthalates in polyester, organic cotton bedding has become more widely available. Organic grown cotton is now being produced worldwide, from Texas to India. The organic cotton is woven into sheets and pillowcases that look and feel like commercially available bedding, without pesticides and polyester. I also find these sheets to be much more comfortable for sleeping because they don’t trap moisture like 50/50 cotton/polyester blends.

Better organic sheets are pre-shrunk using steam and are totally machine washable and dryable. They have just a few more wrinkles out of dryer than 50/50 blends, but that is a small price to pay for a healthy bed. We can all live with some wrinkles, but we may not be able to live with cancer.

Manufacturers of organic cotton bedding include:

-Coyuchi, located in Point Reyes Station, California, which imports organic cotton bedding and bath linens from India. -EcoDownUnder, which is located in Sydney, Australia, which imports organic cotton bedding and bath linens to United States. -Native Organic, located in El Segundo, California, which makes organic cotton bedding and bath linens from Texas-grown organic cotton. -Under Canopy, located in Boca Raton, Florida, which makes organic cotton sheets and towels that are imported from Brazil, as well as organic cotton clothing.

Organic cotton sheets, pillowcases, mattress pads, and blankets from these manufacturers are now being sold across United States through local retailers that specialize in natural fiber bedding. There are also a number of nationwide Internet retailers for organic cotton sheets and bedding, and one of largest is Dax Stores.

Organic cotton sheets and bedding cost a little more than conventional bedding, but, like my mother said, you shouldn’t be afraid to spare some expense your bedding because it will repay you with better health. I think your health is worth that extra expense, and so would my Mom, bless her heart.
