Multiple Chemical Sensitivity

(Environmental Illness)

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.

Those of us who are becoming chronically ill

from these chemicals are similar to the " canaries in the coal mine " .

Coal miners would take a canary into the mines with them to warn them when the

air became toxic. They knew that when the canary stopped singing or died, it

was time to get out before it affected them as well. We " human

canaries " are here to warn the rest of you that, unless you start making

changes and avoid as many toxic chemicals as possible, you too may become very

sick. Non-toxic living is actually much " simpler " and cheaper!

 

Don't be fooled, these

chemicals are affecting ALL of us in some way or another. Think about the last

time you got a headache for no apparent reason. Could it be possible that

someone had recently sprayed perfume or pesticides near you without you knowing

it? Had you recently used scented laundry detergent or Clorox to clean with? Do

you get headaches or feel nauseous from being around people wearing perfume or

cologne? Do you feel you need to hold your breath when you go down the

detergent aisle at the grocery store? All these things are your body's way of

telling you something is wrong with the air you're breathing.

It's like playing

" Russian Roulette " - you never know how long your immune system can

hold out before breaking down. Some people may never reach the point of

" chronic illness " that I did - but most people are being affected,

possibly without realizing it. Cancer has increased dramatically since World War

II (after all the chemicals came out). Attention Deficit Disorder is on the

rise (more and more of our children are being put on toxic, brain-altering

drugs like Ritalin when simply cleaning up their environment could solve their

problems). Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Alzheimer's Disease, Allergies, Asthma,

Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and Multiple Sclerosis are also increasing. All these

illnesses could very well have a chemical connection to their cause or, at the

very least, these patients would benefit from using less-toxic products. Pretty

much any " immune system " disorder could be helped by a cleaner

environment and by using safer products.

The products we use on our

skin are absorbed directly into the bloodstream (the reason why nitroglycerine,

nicotine, and hormone patches work). The chemicals we breathe (such as

perfumes, formaldehyde, pesticides, etc.) all go straight to our brains and can

cause low-level to severe damage - similar to how someone can snort cocaine or

glue to get a " high " . Start reading labels - check for

petro-chemicals, formaldehyde, and fragrance, and avoid them as much as

possible. A clue that an ingredient may be a petro-chemical is the

" prop " prefix. A clue that an ingredient releases formaldehyde is

" Quaternium " . Be careful about products labeled " fragrance

free " or " unscented " . Don't trust them! Read the label and be

sure they don't list " fragrance " or " masking fragrance " .

Don't put anything on your skin you'd be afraid to eat, because the end result

is the same!

Before I got sick, I had no

clue that I was slowly being " poisoned " by products that I assumed

were " safe " since they were on the market! If this could happen to me

- YOU COULD BE NEXT. I encourage you to read through my story and the

rest of the information pages listed here to learn how to protect yourself and

your family.
