If you want to go beyond this and reduce your exposure to chemicals even further, then there is more that you can do. You can avoid contaminants in water and food, avoid using plastics and you can avoid synthetic fibres and fabrics. You can also, if you are prepared to do it, stay indoors totally for the elimination programme and place conditions on what the people who live with you, or come into your home, use and wear. This is really hard-line and does not make you popular, but it can sometimes bring results.
To avoid contaminants in water, use a jug filter for water for drinking, cooking, food preparation, and for washing as far as you can. Alternatively, use bottled water – Malvern, Evian and Buxton are good choices (in glass bottles, if possible).
To avoid contaminants in food, eat fresh, unprocessed food -organic, if possible. To reduce your use of plastics, stop using plastic containers, wraps and bags for food – use glass or ceramic containers, if possible. Cellophane poses no problems. Do not use plastic carrier bags – old ones are usually little problem, but avoid new ones particularly.
To avoid synthetic fibres and fabrics, wear pure cotton clothes, for preference. Make sure these are well washed if they are new. Avoid pure synthetics where possible – polycotton blends are usually better tolerated than synthetics if you have no pure cotton clothes at all. For bedding, use a pure cotton pillowcase, well washed before use, and lay a well-washed pure cotton cloth or sheet over the top of the duvet or blankets if you cannot borrow or replace a synthetic duvet or blankets with others of a different material.
If you are allergic to cotton.
