• Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, MCS from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency.  "Abstract
  
  The report is based on a study of the scientific literature on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, MCS, in Denmark called odour and chemical hypersensitivity. It is concluded that MCS - a new health disorder which has been described during the last 20 years - is a real condition. MCS differs from the common scientific understanding of illness because the condition is always manifested by multiple non-specific symptoms from different organs at the same time and because these symptoms may occur after exposure to chemicals at very low concentrations."

Organizations

• Artists with MCS.  "The network was founded by German author and painter Moon McNeill in 2001. After being diagnosed with MCS in 2000, Moon McNeill wanted to return to the artistic work she had enjoyed in former times - but she did not find any painting medium she was able to tolerate. Even scanning of internet resources did not produce any help. German MCS-networks and support groups did not know anything of value. Soon after founding the network, Moon stumbled into the homepage of the American MCS-musician Kim Palmer who replied she would be interested to join an MCS-artists network if there was any. This was the official birth of the international network Artists with MCS, the way it is existing now."
• Canaries Foundation, Inc.  "The Canaries Foundation is a true grassroots environmental health organization founded in November 2000 by the McElver family. We are completely staffed by volunteers, and funded by the Canaries No Acceptable Risk Coalition."

• Chemical Sensitivity Foundation.  "The primary goal of the Chemical Sensitivity Foundation is to raise public awareness about multiple chemical sensitivity. Our efforts in this area include the distribution of a six-page selected bibliography of studies and articles on chemical sensitivity published in peer-reviewed journals. The amount of solid research on this subject is expanding each year, and we believe it is important to alert physicians and researchers to scientific information on this condition that is as yet not always recognized or understood. One of our goals in distributing this list is to stimulate other scientists to consider launching research studies in this field."

MACI is an organization of diverse people and is run completely by our members who volunteer their time and talents. As we have grown, we have expanded the services we provide to an increasing population of chemically injured people and their families in Massachusetts and throughout our neighboring New England states. At the same time, we have gained recognition as an advocacy group and have established relationships with other local, state, regional and national organizations working to protect public health, expand public education and advocate for the needs of the chemically injured."

  The rest of this site contains information on what I am doing to get better. I am approaching my journey to getting well, from a standpoint of doing what is more in tune with nature and what God intended. I have sworn off all drugs, supplements, doctors and un-natural things. And I do feel this is the only approach that has helped me at all."
• Satori-5.  "To stand a ghost of a chance of telling this MCS story like it really was, and still is, I knew this website section would - of sheer necessity - have to be big. Given the prevailing and quite extraordinary health challenges, the rather incredible domestic circumstances, and an almost total lack of effective medical, physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual support, this knowledge was something of a last hope killer. When you mostly don't have what it takes to walk to the end of your own little cal-de-sac and back then how the hell can you possibly hope to climb a mountain? Yet having realistically surveyed all my very limited options my only real hope of survival seemed [and still seems] to lie somewhere on or near the summit of that metaphorical mountain - if, that is, it actually lies anywhere at all."

Travel

• Air Travel Health News.  "Diana Fairechild is an aviation health & safety author, and an expert witness in legal cases involving airline passengers.
  
  Fairechild's first book, Jet Smart, opened up a Pandora's box of airline abuses. Examples: Cabin air is recirculated, pilots reduce fresh air to save fuel, passengers may get sprayed with pesticide, you need to bring your own water when you fly, and "direct" flights are not necessarily nonstop.
  
  Fairechild's helpful tips to mitigate these problems are now used by travelers worldwide. How to get better air, what not to eat, how to sleep, how best to cope with jetlag, and more, have all been widely quoted by the media including Dateline, Extra, Hard Copy, CNN, ABC and NBC.
  
  Fairechild's award-winning web site, http://www.Flyana.com, continues her life mission as an airline passenger advocate who empowers passengers to jet smarter."
