Hypoxia and Medicine

Anyone familiar with a medical condition called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity? And...treatments that work?

It's easiest to compare this condition to allergies, although it isn't truly allergy, because it doesn't cause a histimine response. The symptoms are more closely related to poisoning. Nausea, disorientation, muscle weakness, achy joints, etc. These symptoms come from exposure to things we cannot avoid in our society. Perfumes are lethal to us. This includes perfumed deodorant, drier sheets, detergent, hair spray, etc. One of the worst is plug-in air fresheners. Other things affect us, but the perfumes seem to be hardest to avoid. Even masks don't help, unless you wear the kind for toxic waste, with big filters attached. Who wants to wear that to work and the grocery store, etc. It also seems that more things are perfumed now than a few years ago. It's hard to find toilet bowl cleaner, shampoo, dish soap, etc. without added perfumes.

1. MCS is not an actual diagnosis doctors use, Many times MCS is a scam used by professional complainers who want to cash in on workman's compensation and need to claim a "sickness" that cannot be easily disproven in court. It is very similar to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome--another scam that the world's phonies try to use to get money for doing nothing.
2. http://www.mcsurvivors.com My mother has the condition. She is very into all that eastern and alternative medicene, so, she's slowly getting out of it, but it's very much real, despite what is said. There are certain other diseases I don't believe in, but MCS is very real, and can be devastating (and deadly).
