Meds for Multiple Chemical Sensitivity?

Question

Are there any medicines avalible for Multiple Chemical Sensitivity?

Answer 1

Hi Shihtzu. Please ignore the first answerer. "Quackwatch" is quackery.

The medical literature is full of "real" scientific research on Multiple Chemical Sensistivity (MCS). A search of Pubmed/Medline using that term gave me a list of 571 research papers. That is NOT quackery.

There is a lot you can do to improve your detoxification of chemicals and toxic metabolites. Large textbooks have been written on this subject (e.g. "Chemical Sensitivity" by William Rea, M.D. - a four volume set with over 1200 pages and hundreds of scientific references!). This is a very complicated and complex condition which is why many LAZY doctors ignore it or deny its existence (which allows them to 'justify' ignoring it).

Note that medications are often contributors to MCS because they are toxic and have to be detoxified. Generally this condition is NOT treated with medication, but rather by: 1) removing or decreasing exposure to chemicals in the environment, 2) improving detoxification systems in the body via diet, nutritional supplements, etc. and 3) reducing the "toxic load" existing in the body by specific detoxification processes (e.g. far infra-red saunas, chelation therapy, etc.).

For your purposes, it may be best to read some books written for the public on this subject by specialists in this field. I highly recommend books on detoxification by Sherry Rogers, M.D. such as "Detoxify or Die". This is a powerful book, supported by extensive references to scientific research, and filled with practical information that works. It is available at Amazon.com.

Best wishes and good luck.

Answer 2

Don't listen to the 2 who obviously do not have any experience with this condition. It is a horrible and hideous way to suffer. And made more so by the ignorant comments of those who need to spend 5 minutes in our shoes and would absolutely change their stupid minds!

Answer 3

the second poster is the quack. just because a book is available from amazon.com, that somehow makes it a valid source of medical information? what's next, are you going to tell us that everything you read on the internet is true?

patients who complain of these "multiple chemical sensitivities" are not suffering from any true physical maladies. if ever a phrase "it's all in your head" was applicable, this would be the case.

This is not a real medically-recognized condition, and so needs no treatment. See: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/mcs.html
