Well.....they are treating the wrong illness as they obviously do not know

what MCS is. I plan on posting the following from an article out of

E-Parent Magazine, every time I run across this type of nonsence.

For those who have never heard of MCS, it is the inability of the body to

readily detoxify and eliminate chemicals found in the everyday environment.

These chemicals then go on to store in the liver, brain and fatty tissues

of the body. Patients often detect and react adversely to very small amounts

of toxins that may go unnoticed by healthy people. According to an article

by Dr. Pall that was published in the 3rd edition of " General and

Applied Toxicology " , pages 2303-2352: chemicals can actually start a

biochemical vicious cycle that makes us something like 1000 times more

sensitive

to these same types of chemicals . People carrying certain forms of genes

that have roles in detoxifying these chemicals are often much more

susceptible to this chemical sensitivity known as MCS. Unfortunately, MCS is a

socially isolating condition with symptoms that can be triggered by everyday

products such as lawn spray, pesticides, cleaning products, chemically scented

products and a polluted environment. It can involve the respiratory and

central nervous system, create musculoskeletal and digestive problems, as well

as cause cognitive impairment just to name a few. With reactions ranging

from memory loss and confusion to muscle weakness and pain, it can become so

severe that it makes it near impossible for the patient to participate in

any meaningful activity. Unlike Asthma, there are no medications to help

prevent an attack. In fact, many people with MCS become homebound and live on

a daily basis with chronic fatigue and other disabling symptoms. Those

with a severe case can become homeless and unable to tolerate standard

building material and home furnishings. Total avoidance of environmental

triggers

and wearing a face mask are the most common methods used to help manage it.

Pall, who is Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences

at Washington State University has given dozens of scientific talks on MCS

in seven countries around the world. He states that the diverse different

types of chemicals implicated in MCS all appear to be able to produce a

similar toxic response in the body, too much activity of certain receptors in

the body known as NMDA receptors. **We have, now a detailed mechanism for

how this leads to the stunning chemical sensitivity known as MCS. There have

been many claims that MCS is a psychological response, but we know now that

this is false. It is a biochemical and physiological response of the body

to chemical exposure** Pall states.

Hi All:

A number of people have recovered from MCS using NLP. Using convulsions is

totally disrespectful.
