nylon, polyester, etc. I get itchy, rashy,

I do the same thing. I was always told this is from my candida problem. Is this

true? Or are we really not supposed to wear these artificial fibers. I have

noticed my daughters have the same problem sometimes I will see a rash on their

arms after wearing a sweatshirt all day.

Sorry I do not have a source for mens socks. I only purchase womens...

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough ''Hello's " to get you through the final goodbye.

Subject: Slightly OT: Cotton socks

This certainly isn't a nutrition issue, but it does pertain to native and

traditional lifestyle and health issues, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

It's easy enough to find cotton shirts

and pants and whatnot, but it's become all but impossible to find 100%

cotton athletic socks. (I don't mean tube socks, but thick white cotton

socks, which are my normal everyday wear.) It used to be I could get 96%

cotton socks, and those were pretty good, but now the best I've been able

to find, even online, is 88%, and that's just not good enough. My feet

aren't happy.

Can anyone point me to a source of king size all-cotton socks? If the price

isn't ridiculous and the quality is high enough I'd even consider a custom

shop or other options like that.

TIA,

I couldn't tell you authoritatively. I've noticed that my problems with

polyester and whatnot are worse and hit faster when my health is worse, but

I've never been able to wear them for any length of time. I've also known

women who are fine as long as they wear cotton underwear but get yeast

infections from wearing artificial fibers. I don't think we're meant to

wear plastic. Cotton, leather, maybe a couple other natural fabrics. I

suspect the only difference is in how much of a problem they cause and how

fast it crops up.
