This is a letter I received from a fan quite some time ago. I really wanted to share this information. Thanks very much Lisa!

Hi Tanya,
I enjoy watching you on Sell This House. Just thought I would see if you have a website and you do! As if you didn't know. :-) I read about your mom being into health, etc. and I though I would share this information about mattresses with you. It has been an eye opener and eye burner to learn this.
I have a lot of health issues and candida is one problem I've had. Rifetherapy has been beneficial in that area. Also, using probiotics.
Anyway, thanks! Lisa
Below is PART of my mattress story if you have time to read it. Websitesfrom my research are at the bottom.
I recently purchased a mattress and after the third night of sleeping on it, I woke up with my eyes burning and my arms were going numb. My pajamas reeked of chemical smell! After airing out the mattress, I tried it again. After three mattresses, I knew it was time to try something else! I became very dizzy just being in the room with the mattress!
To make a really long story short, I did a lot of research and found out about all the chemicals involved in making mattresses! A new mandatory fire retardant for mattresses began in July 2007. My understanding is that Monsanto, Dow, Dupont, Serta, Sealy and several insurance companies pushed to pass this law. (How convenient that the chemical companies will be able to sell more chemicals!)
Mattresses are already full of chemicals such as formaldehyde (a known causeof cancer) and other petroleum based chemicals. I am now wondering how many people are sick because of this and how many people who have existing health issues (like me) are make sicker from absorbing all these chemicals.I learned that chemicals in mattresses is one of the causes of SIDS.
This has been an eye opener (and eye burner)!! I am trying to bring awareness to this, because I don't want anyone else to go through this.
This short CNN video with Anderson Cooper mentions fire retardant in the chemical burden testing.http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/living/2007/10/21/cooper.planet.peril.cnn

This is a good awareness article from CBN concerning toxic mattresses.http://www.cbn.com/livingthelife/features/health/mattress_sick.aspx

This website has lots of info. There is also a little video you can watch. These beds still contain foam, but the website has good info.http://www.prescriptionbeds.com/people_sick.htmhttp://www.prescriptionbeds.com/making_news.htm
