Dear Dr Carter

Thank you for sending me copies of the Mark Rands (GHA) and Chest Clinic (ARI) letters dated 23.01.02 and 06.02.02 respectively. I have responded to Mark Rands request in said letter for information regarding building chemicals impacting on my MCS condition. Since he may wish to discuss the information provided with you at some stage I have enclosed copies here for you of the material I sent to him:

1. “Environmental Neurotoxic Illness…”

2. “No Safe Haven – People with MCS Are Becoming the New Homeless”.

3. Formaldehyde – Our Homes and Health”.

Sorry to keep hitting you with more paperwork Doc but I really don’t see any other way of doing this.

I am still suffering totally unacceptable levels of untreated illness due to the ongoing toxic injury inflicted upon me, night and day, due to your professions poor understanding of MCS – particularly severe MCS. I still have to sleep with virtually no bedding in subzero temperature in my garden shed – with only multiple levels of clothing to keep me alive.

Your profession is fond of talking about the tendency of M.E. sufferers towards “.. unhelpful illness beliefs..”. I have no doubt that for a percentage of M.E. sufferers that such a statement holds true. I also have no doubt that in my own particular case, especially with regard to my now severe MCS problems, that I am on the receiving end of what I can only describe as your own “unhelpful illness beliefs” regarding my condition. I put it to you Doc that it is ‘these’ that allow you to often leave me suffering unendurable levels of preventable illness - either directly, due to lack of immediate medical intervention, or indirectly via weak wishy-washy support to relevant third parties like GHA. This is hard for both of us. Can we talk it out?

Yours sincerely

Gordon McHendry
