My doctor referred me to Dr. Gerald Natske in Flint, MI. He

specializes in environmental medicine. I was very pleasantly

surprised when I met him. From the moment he walked in the room he

was quite vocal about the toxic environment we live in and he gave me

quite a list of suggestions of things I should do right away that

would help ease the toxic burden on my body. Its going to take a bit,

but I'm working on it. I go in on the 19th for skin and inhalent

testing. Having more information will be such a relief.

Dr. Natske is very comfortable with the notion of sick building

syndrome and said he works with a large number of hospital employees

who have developed multiple chemical sensititivies from their work

environment.

He said most people's health is affected by toxins but the majority

simply accept ill health and don't bother trying to root out the

cause. I like him a lot. It was worth waiting more than two months

for my appointment.

I don't know yet how willing he actually is to involve himself in

litigation but he was very thorough in his questioning because he

said it would be better to have a complete record up front than to

try to fill in the gaps later should my employer (or whomever) ask

questions later.

I feel extremely fortunate because hopefully I have caught this early

enough that I can resolve some of the health issues that have been

plaguing me for years. On my bad days I am less optimistic but after

several days away from work I usually feel pretty good on Monday. My

heart cries when I read about the misery, ill health and loss so many

of you have experienced and continue to experience.

Take care,

Laurie in Flint
