Natural Holistic Health
"The impact toxic synthetic chemicals are having on the health of millions of people in the world today is beyond belief. This website is dedicated to exposing the truth about the damage being done to our immune systems and our long-term good health by man made synthetic chemicals. Did you know detoxifying your body by limiting exposure to toxic chemicals in all their forms, can set you on the path to recovering good health and well-being? Attention to nutritional support with preferably organic natural ingredients and using Certified Organic beauty and skin care products may prevent many metabolic disorders occurring in the first place. Health and beauty is far more than skin deep. Your health depends entirely on what you ingest and absorb into your body! It is mainly what you don't put on your skin and into your mouth which will determine your good health and longevity."

Gorden & Jacki's Place
"Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is basically a subset of Environmental Illness (EI), which is caused by living in a toxic world. The chemicals that were synthesized after World War II (including, pesticides, synthetic fragrances, cleaning products, detergents, etc.) are mostly "petro-chemicals" (petroleum based) and are quite toxic to humans. There have been virtually no studies done on the majority of these chemicals to see how they affect humans - the industry just placed the chemicals in the environment with the assumption that they are "safe, till proven toxic", instead of the other way around. One of the biggest offenders is PERFUME and other scented products. Did you know that many of the ingredients in your perfume are the exact same ingredients found in GASOLINE??!! I didn't either! The scary thing is that the perfume industry is NOT REGULATED at all - they can put any number of chemicals in fragrance without revealing what those chemicals are - or how they affect humans. We humans are all participating in a giant "lab experiment" against our knowledge and against our will, and it's making some of us VERY sick."

Additives Survivors Network UK
"The Additives Survivors' Network (UK) was formed in March 2000 developed from the Aspartame Survivors' Network (UK) which was launched in August 1999. Originally, ASN(UK) was primarily brought about by a group of like minded individuals aware of the controversy surrounding the artificial sweetener aspartame and questioning its continued use. We are renamed Additives Survivors' Network to reflect growing public disquiet over the considerable number of additives believed to trigger health problems. The following information is largely based upon the facts surrounding aspartame but it's anticipated that our next Updated Fact Sheet, that information provided will cover general aspects relevant to a range of additives."

MCS International
"Welcome to Multiple Chemical Sensitivity International (MCS International).
MCSI was formed as a result of an overwhelming desire expressed by people to establish a MCS society. With the assistance of the Environmental Law Centre (ELC), a registered charity specialising in human rights, environmental law, family law and health, we were successfully formed in 2002. Working in collaboration with ELC, our priority is to raise awareness of MCS as an increasingly common disease. Our primary role is to act as an information centre to promote awareness of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and to help sufferers’ access information which will help to raise their quality of life and reduce their suffering."
"MCS is an isolating illness, physically and often emotionally. It is also a debilitating illnesses which has no physical characteristics. Our objectives are many but our main goal is to help sufferers and their families regain the quality of life that MCS has denied them and in the process help MCS sufferers find their voice. In the short term our aim is to provide and collate information which will assist MCS sufferers towards this goal; to establish a MCS society, to make contact, to establish this web page for the dissemination of information and an advice column, and form self –help groups forming a network offering help and advice."
"We appreciate the problems faced by sufferers of MCS and other related syndromes CFS, MS, ME Gulf War Syndrome, EMF and others. As sufferers ourselves or having family members who suffer we appreciate the mass of untapped experience and understanding out there isolated by an often unrecognised illness. We want recognition, and we want to be able to benefit fellow sufferers."

Pesticide Action Network
"Pesticides are the only chemicals deliberately made to be toxic and introduced directly into the environment. They are used in agriculture, in homes, and in urban areas to kill or control insects, weeds and diseases. Pesticides are used everywhere: in crops and carpets, boats and bananas, and unwanted residues can be found in humans, water, food, air and soil."
"PAN UK is the only organisation in Britain dedicated to raising awareness of the problems with pesticides. PAN UK is part of a global network. We work closely with partners in developing countries, where pesticide problems are sometimes far worse. In developing countries there are as many as three million poisonings and 20,000 deaths each year from pesticide incidents. Unnecessary use puts farmers on an expensive pesticide treadmill."

Dorway
"DORway is my WAY of paying back the Internet for the small, hard-to-find (and oblique) article that I almost didn't read... but that literally saved my life. That file was the 1996 FDA list of 92 symptoms of aspartame poisoning. It saved my life where 21 of 21 clueless doctors had failed over a period of ELEVEN years."
"DORway consists of around 800 WEB pages (approximately 12,000 printed pages) of solid time-tested documentation that aspartame is neither a decent diet aid... nor was it ever proven to be safe! It must be removed from the human food chain, but only YOU AND I, the consumers, can effect its removal."
"However, my primary concern is with the 250,000,000 clueless victims (Monsanto's figure) all of whom are in some (guaranteed) stage of "aspartame disease" who, as I once did, may desperately NEED this information. Even with over four million visitors... DORway has reached but a small percentage of these needy folks. Please pass this FREE health-restoring and perhaps life-saving information to everyone you care about!"

Aspartame (Nutrasweet) Toxicity Info Center
"Detailed scientific and general documentation regarding the toxicity of nutrasweet, Equal, diet coke, diet pepsi, and other aspartame containing items. Web page includes real life reports of acute and chronic toxicity due to long-term ingestion. Also included is extensive scientific and general information and resources."
"Note: It often takes at least sixty days without *any* aspartame or nutrasweet to see a significant improvement. Improvement in health is also often accompanied by weight loss. Check all labels very carefully (including vitamins and pharmaceuticals). Look for the word "aspartame" on the label and avoid it. (Also, it is a good idea to avoid "acesulfame-k" or "sunette.") Finally, avoid getting nutrition information from junk food industry PR organizations such as IFIC or organizations that accept large sums of money from the junk and chemical food industry such as the American Dietetic Association."

Poisoned Cosmetics - Not too Pretty
"Companies say that the level of phthalates in their products is "safe." That might be true if people were exposed to only one phthalate from one source at a time, but none of us is and the exposures add up. Since many phthalates have similar effects, we may be affected by the total exposure to this group of chemicals. What appears to be a "tolerable" level of exposure to a single phthalate could contribute to an unsafe overall exposure. Therefore, when possible, you may wish to reduce your use of cosmetics known to contain phthalates and as well as plastic products made from soft PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic, also known as vinyl -- products such as vinyl flooring, shower curtains, wallpaper and food containers."

EI/MCS Information
"Think of your body as a cup with a small crack in the side. If you keep filling the cup faster than it can drain, it will overflow. Smoke, perfume, cleaners, chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, plastics, electromagnetic fields, food allergies and regular allergies, Candida, etc, add to our total body load. If our body is unable to detoxify the above fast enough, we reach our total body load and begin to have reactions."
"A person having a reaction is like a cup running over. Environmental factors are entering the body faster than it can eliminate them. The body of a person with EI/MCS can not readily detoxify and eliminate chemicals, therefore, chemicals store in the fatty tissue, liver and brain."
"Symptoms include but are not limited to: Brain Fog, Chronic Fatigue, Mood Swings, Pain in various parts of the body, Flushing, Memory Loss, Inability to concentrate, Chest Pains, Headaches, Visual disturbances, Sensitivity to light and sound, Audio disturbances, sensitivity to touch, Rashes, Hair loss, Vertigo, Dizziness, Asthma, Flu like symptoms that won't go away, Nausea, Depression, and the list goes on and on."
"Individuality plays an important role in why some people have MCS and others don't. For instance, more women than men have the symptoms. Men produce Testosterone which often covers up the problem until it's to late. Women produce Estrogen which does not cover up the symptoms or warning signs. By the time they realize what they have, fixed name disease has often taken place in the heart, liver, Brain etc. If warning signs are ignored MCS can result in end organ failure and death."

WWF's Global Initiative
"Global Toxics Initative: Chemical Contamination Revealed by UK Blood Testing. A cocktail of highly toxic chemicals has been found in every one of the 155 people whose blood was tested in a national study commissioned by WWF-UK."
"ContamiNATION, The Results of WWF's Biomonitoring Survey reveals that chemicals, such as DDT, which have been banned for decades and are associated with cancer, immune system disorders, and other health problems, are still found in people today. Other dangerous chemicals that are still in use are also accumulating".
"The study is the latest to identify the widespread presence in ordinary people of flame retardants used in everyday products such as cars and TVs to prevent fires. Known as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), these flame retardants were found in all samples, are widely linked to damage of the brain and nervous systems, and have become the focus of regulatory action in Europe and in California."
"The UK study provides a wake-up call for action, as have similar bio-monitoring studies in the US and elsewhere, to reform the inadequate chemical laws that have resulted in contamination of wildlife and individuals by a cocktail of highly dangerous chemicals,” said Clifton Curtis, director of WWF's Global Toxics Program. “New laws and regulations, such as the EU chemicals policy reforms now underway, are needed as an urgent priority to protect human health and the environment from the insidious threat of toxic chemicals."
"In the United States, there is growing interest in biomonitoring or body burden testing. Recent research has demonstrated high levels of brominated flame retardants in the breast milk of U.S. mothers. Organizations such as the Environmental Working Group have launched efforts to document and publicize the extent of chemical contamination in people."
"The WWF study analyzed blood samples from 77 chemicals including PCBs, used in industrial electrical equipment, certain types of pesticides, and brominated flame retardants. Long-banned PCBs and a breakdown product of the pesticide DDT were found in 99 percent of those tested."
"This report shows us that it doesn't matter who we are or where we live. We are all contaminated by industrial chemicals which have not been properly assessed for their safety before they are unleashed upon us,” said Justin Woolford, leader of WWF-UK's Chemicals in Health Campaign. “The number and concentrations of chemicals found are deplorable. We are unwittingly playing Russian roulette with our health because of regulatory inaction."

Crafty Delights
"Environmental Awareness and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Emblems"
"Custom-made emblems to represent Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) are available. One design has a Mask and the other has a Ribbon. These emblems signify our environment and the pollutants we breathe in our daily lives. Gas, smoke, perfumes, and other odors in our society are making the chemically-sensitive physically sick. The water we drink, the food we eat, and sick building syndrome are concerns in our environment. My custom designed emblems bring Environmental Awareness to these issues. The Emblems have a heat-sealed backing which can be either ironed or sewed on. Choose your own logo and words with the earth emblem."
"These emblems can be put on T-shirts, hats, tote bags or anything you desire."
"Some of the proceeds will go to MCS research."

The Multiple Chemical Sensitivity
Global Recognition Campaign
"My name is Diana Buckland from Australia. My son James suffers from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, a chemically induced illness. James had a major exposure to pesticides as an infant and again in grade 2 when we had a flea plague here. He continued to have exposures at school. He has been out of school since grade 4. He is now almost 16 years of age."
"I had no idea the school was pesticiding/herbiciding inside and outside the school building for cockroaches, termites and mosquitos, fogging the trees, spraying inside the class rooms and even spraying the children's bag and hat racks. He was getting sicker and sicker and his behaviour continued to deteriorate. James also suffered frequent intensely severe headaches, skin rashes, vomiting, diarrhoea, severe asthma, a lot of chest infections, poor concentration and poor short term memory as well as the severe behavioural problems. He was violent and psychotic and the medications (there were a lot ) made him more toxic. How many people globally may suffer some kind of mental illness and have no idea it was caused by exposure/exposures to neurotoxic substances, such as pesticides, insecticides, herbicides etc.."
"My son is now almost 16 years of age and has been detoxifying his chemically poisoned brain and body for 6 years - but society, family, friends, no-one wanted to know or help us, as their chemicals and chemically perfumed products were too important to them - sadly, we mattered to no-one."
"Our societies are saturated with toxic/neurotoxic and carcinogenic chemicals - horrific crimes are committed constantly, differing levels of behavioural problems throughout our entire society and differing levels of learning problems, every form of cancer that you can imagine (have people become so complacent hearing about differing forms of cancers that they are not asking why is this happening?), people suffering from general poor health and doctors cannot find out what is wrong in some cases and so many constant and differing forms of illnesses that our global health systems are splitting at the seams, attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and differing forms of mental illness, psychosis, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, & parental/child conflict disorder, conduct disorder, speech/language disorder, depressive disorders, major depressive illness, autism, asperger's syndrome (i.e. high functioning autism), developmental disorder and every kind of disorder and syndrome that can be thought of - suicides and we are constantly shown pictures of babies, children, adults in hospitals globally suffering from various forms of cancer and appeal for money to be raised for "cancer research" and everyone is overwhelmed as pleas to raise more money are constant, does anyone sit back and say "hay just a minute - why is this happening - why are all these people contracting cancers" - doesn't anyone make the chemical connection?"

What Is MCS? Multiple Chemical Sensitivity
"A wide variety of names have been applied to Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and to those affected by it.
Many of the names themselves seem to invite controversy. Some names for the condition are: Chemical Hypersensitivity; Chemical Sensitivity; Twentieth Century Disease; and Environmental Illness."
"Movies like Erin Brockovich and A Civil Action depict the true stories of communities whose members became ill from drinking water contaminated with industrial waste. Their struggles clearly show how difficult it is for people to hold corporations responsible for the harm they have caused. Whether individuals are injured by exposures to contaminated air or water, silicone breast implants, cigarettes, or other chemicals, their quest for justice is usually a David versus Goliath battle that pits average citizens against giant corporations."
"MCS is coming to a neighborhood near you...
..and MCS does not care who you are!"

North Arkansas Network for the Chemically Injured
"Scattered across the Ozarks of Arkansas is a growing population of individuals who have been injured by one, or a combination of, toxic chemicals. Even at what is generally considered to be sub-toxic levels of these chemicals, their injured bodies can no longer tolerate chemical exposures without experiencing adverse symptoms."
"Any chemical exposure may be the "straw that breaks the camel's back" – the exposure from which a person never fully recovers."
"Do not be fooled!
Anyone can develop MCS!"

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Org
"Multiple Chemical Sensitivity - also referred to as MCS - is also known as Chemical Injury, Chemical Sensitivity, Environmental Illness (E.I.), and Multiple Allergy.In broad terms it means an unusually severe sensitivity or allergy-like reaction to many different kinds of pollutants including solvents, VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds), perfumes, petrol, diesel, smoke, "chemicals" in general and often encompasses problems with regard to pollen, house dust mites, and pet fur & dander."
"Unlike true allergy - where the underlying mechanisms of the problem are relatively well understood widely accepted - Multiple Chemical Sensitivity is generally regarded as "idiopathic" - meaning that it has no known mechanism of causation & it's processes are not fully understood."
"The problem here is made more difficult still, due to the variable nature of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity from one patient to the next & this often makes treatment with conventional medicine & practices ineffective or inappropriate; for most sufferers with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, the avoidance of pollutants/toxicants is the key."
"What CAN be said about defining Multiple Chemical Sensitivity - and in order to help the patient decide whether they truly have MCS or another allergy-related illness - is that the following deciding criteria apply to Multiple Chemical Sensitivity:"
* the patient exhibits problems - often an allergy-like reaction - to both large - often extremely low levels of irritants/toxicants/triggers : other individuals present at the same time may be unable to detect anything at all or anything unusual or out of the ordinary.
* the problem is ongoing, ie. chronic, and not a "one-off" event.
* the same symptoms are reproducible with repeated exposure to the same triggers.
* the patient is affected by many different triggers.
* the patient improves when triggers are absent.

Artists With MCS
"Welcome to the Homepage of Artists with MCS, an international network of artists with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)."
"The network was founded by German author and painter Moon McNeill in 2001. After being diagnosed with MCS in 2000, Moon McNeill wanted to return to the artistic work she had enjoyed in former times - but she did not find any painting medium she was able to tolerate. Even scanning of internet resources did not produce any help. German MCS-networks and support groups did not know anything of value. Soon after founding the network, Moon stumbled into the homepage of the American MCS-musician Kim Palmer who replied she would be interested to join an MCS-artists network if there was any. This was the official birth of the international network Artists with MCS, the way it is existing now."

The Safer Travel Directory
What is MCS?
"Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, (MCS), also called environmental illness, is a medical condition in which individuals develop symptoms from very low levels of chemicals in the environment, levels which they previously tolerated and which most people don't even notice. MCS usually results from exposure to toxic chemicals, either in a single massive dose or long term exposures to low doses."
How many people have MCS?
"MCS is a widespread, growing public health problem. Nationwide, it is estimated that 15% of the population has become sensitized to one or more common household chemicals or commercial products. Preliminary results of a 1995 California Dept. of Health Services study found 16% of the study population were chemically sensitive and 7% had been diagnosed with MCS. That's approximately 2 million cases in California alone. Another study, using a telephone survey, found that 3.9% of respondents had symptoms of MCS that occurred daily."
What are the special housing needs of people with MCS?
"People with MCS need their home to be a sanctuary or haven where they can avoid or recover from chemical exposures. They will look for a place with relatively clean air, away from busy highways, and with freedom from insecticide spraying and weed killers. They prefer houses with hardwood or ceramic tile floors, with natural wood rather than plywood or other pressed-wood products that contain glues, solvents and formaldehyde. They will usually want electric or hot water heat instead of heating oil, natural gas, or a wood-burning stove. The structure should be at least 10-15 years old with no recent renovation, so that most of the problem chemicals will have outgassed from the building materials. The home should have good ventilation and freedom from mustiness and molds"
"These are just a few of the items to consider. A person with MCS may have many other specific requirements, depending on the severity of their condition. No property will be perfect, but some are much better than others. For people with MCS, their health, ability to work, and even their lives may depend on finding a tolerable place to live."

MCS Homepage
Objectives of This Site
"The main objectives of this site are to provide information about MCS and MCS related topics in a simple, clear and concise form. In the past people with MCS have been misinformed and mistreated. People with MCS should get all the facts, so that they can take care of themselves better. In the past many articles were written by authors with practically no experience with MCS which has mislead MCS community to certain extent."
"In some articles, people with MCS have been advised to take all kinds of complicated medical tests. A person, who knows what MCS really is, will never advise a person with MCS to take all these tests. These tests will not provide much benefit to a MCS patient rather than it will make his or her MCS much worse. In some articles, people with MCS talk about tolerating severe reactions. One thing they do not know that if they continue to tolerate severe reactions, their MCS will get worse."
"The foremost task for a person with MCS should be to slowdown the progression of MCS. For tips how to slowdown the progression of MCS read Twelve Golden Rules. This site will also provide information about Alternative Medicine and Gene Therapy. Alternative medicine will give very mild reaction to the treatment of common illness and it will not make person's MCS worse. While traditional medicine will give severe to life threatening reaction and it will make person's MCS worse. As far as treatment for MCS is concerned, I strongly recommend you to learn more about Gene Therapy and if possible, work with a Gene Therapy specialist."
