It’s a complicated question for many companies to answer, and in the ever changing global economy a company can find itself drifting away for its core values.  For me and the company and brand I founded CleanRest® our mission has never been clearer.  Clean Healthy sleep, allowing you to maximize every day by caring for you and your loved ones while you rest.  I never thought that inventing an allergy barrier fabric and transforming it into a simple mattress cover and pillow cover would profoundly affect so many people.  Just a few days ago I received a call from the mother of a young allergy sufferer who explained to me that for the first time in over a year, her child slep through the entire night without waking up to use his rescue medication.  As a result, the mother and the rest of her family got their first full night of sleep, they all feel better and that keeps our innovation engines motivated! 

As a company we feel that everyone deserves the dignity of a clean nights rest and we have worked hard to make our products available for free by donating our mattress and pillow allergy covers to a variety of local charities, like the Providence Rhode Island Ronald McDonald House as well as the Crossroads Shelter here in Providence.  Regardless of a person’s income, all should be offered the opportunity to experience a clean comfortable sleep, by making this a priority of your own family as well as your community everyone’s lives will become more productive and satisfying.  To that end I wanted to provide my readers with an offer to save 25% off on any purchase of CleanRest® products featuring MicronOne® technology, simply entering “garysblog” at check out.  Use this opportunity to invest in the health and wellness of your family and yourself.

Nutritional therapist Norma Kayte O’Dell believes that changing your diet may be more effective than over-the-counter drugs at fighting allergies. A diet that strengthens the immune system and the body’s ability to handle allergy symptoms will be better in the long term.O’Dell informs us that there are foods than can help manage inflammation, which can help relieve allergic reactions. Raw honey is one of such foods, and can help build the body’s resistance to pollen allergies. Honey that is produced within 10 miles of your home is believed to be the most effective. Garlic and onions are also said to be effective because they contain sulfur, which aids the detoxification of the body.

O’Dell recommends food supplements in addition to a change in diet. Omega-3 fatty acids, and other vitamins or minerals that help build a stronger immune system (including Vitamins A, E, and D) will help you in your fight against allergies.
