MUST READ: MCS Patients Need To Learn To Confront, Not Avoid, Chemicals
Ugeskr Laeger. 2006 Mar 13;168(11):1116-9.
[Multiple chemical sensitivity, a well-defined illness?] [Article in Danish] Kolstad HA, Silberschmidt M, Nielsen JB, Osterberg K, Andersen JH, Bonde JP, Fink P. Arhus Universitetshospital, Arbejdsmedicinsk Klinik, Arhus C. Some people react to smells or chemicals at levels far below toxicological thresholds with nonspecific symptoms, fear and social isolation. They may be diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivity. There is no empirical evidence indicating that this condition is explained by toxicological mechanisms, even though a number of theories have been proposed. The authors of this review conclude that this is a functional condition. These patients need information and treatment in accordance with this fact. Instead of being advised how to avoid exposure to chemicals, they should be properly trained in appropriate confrontation with the chemicals encountered in everyday life. |
