SKEWED by Martin J Walker

 

In Skewed, Martin Walker takes a penetrating look at the ‘emerging illnesses’:

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Gulf War Syndrome (GWS), Myalgic

Encephalomyelitis (ME) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).

 

Biochemists, nutritionists and a group of doctors calling themselves clinical

ecologists are convinced of an environmental cause for these illnesses, and

offer a completely different approach to treatment based on rest, detoxification

and diet.

 

The book traces the chemical companies’ arguments against their products causing

illnesses and it tracks the growth of the theory promoted by them that

individuals who report symptoms of chemically induced ill health have

personality disorders.

 

The book asks how psychiatric theories of ‘unexplained illness’ have managed to

gain ascendancy and shape the diagnosis, research funding and public perception

of these illnesses in Britain.
