Features:

What is MCS

Permanent damage to certain brain cells by toxic chemicals can cause MCS.

What is Emf Sensitivity

Many people with MCS also develop electromagnetic field (emf) sensitivity due to permanent

biological (cell) damage to central nervous system (cns) by toxic chemicals.

A wealth of information at this website!!

My personal comment to this issue:  I have this sensitivity.  I cannot walk next to a power station/box.  I have to pass it at a distance of at least 4 metres, otherwise I feel a tremendous wave of sickly nausea rip through my body.  As well, I cannot get near to televisions, computers, or any source of an emf.

http://www.chem-tox.com

Features:

Research on health disorders resulting from petroleum-based chemicals used in consumer

products and job environments are available from the links below.  Petroleum based chemicals

are being found to cause significant attritional effects to the nervous system and immune

system after prolonged exposure. Illnesses identified in the medical research include adult

and child cancers, numerous neurological disorders, immune system weakening, autoimmune

disorders, asthma, allergies, infertility, miscarriage, and child behavior disorders including

learning disabilities, mental retardation, hyperactivity and ADD (attention deficit disorders).

My personal comment to this issue:  I recall reading years ago that even petroleum jelly was considered to be carcinogenic because it was a petroleum product.  I won't even have that stuff in my house.  If I see people poisoned by petrol vapors, and people poisoned by the xylenes used in paints and adhesives, then I'm surely going to put 2 + 2 together and, using the Precautionary Principle, avoid as many products as I am aware that contain petroleum-based substances.  A wide birth given to this group, however, also means a wide birth offered to most of society!
