More useful information from The Environmental Illness Network Minnesota via another great Listly list! This here, is a list of informative websites, blogs and support groups for people who are effected by chemicals. The good thing about these lists is that people can add information (in this case, MCS/Environmental Illness sites that they find useful) so that we can all benefit even further from these great resources; and, they can even embed these lists up on their own blogs. To do this, all you need is, if you are a WordPress user, the ‘Listly Plug-in‘, or just click on the ‘embed this list‘ button to find the Javascript code and to display it on your site today. It’s that easy! For more information about how to use Listly, click here.
https://safecanarynest.org/ I made this website and I’ve heard that the resource section (which is divided into many other sections ) is the largest in the world . I added a new section which is entertainment related , there are a lot of online museum tours and things like that, but it has sections for activism, the medical journal articles , legal things , buying clothing, having to live outside , doctors, treatments , dealing with social workers , etc. and it also has the webpage for resources for people with MCS in the state of Vermont , doctors, dentist, social services (I was able to set some new precedents for people with MCS because if I didn’t I would’ve died ) and a whole bunch of other stuff .
Wonderful list of useful links. Thanks!
Yes, very useful. Thank you for reading.
Thank you for sharing this list Miche.
And i see that your blog is at the top of the list! The first thing I saw! I’ve added Sonda’s; it’s just waiting for the curator’s approval. I love these lists. [sigh] if only I had more time. I’m off to class now.
I’m very suprised to see the Danish Research Centre for Chemical Sensitivities here. They tried to “heal” MCS with ECT (Electoshock). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20827810 Thanks for the list, though.
That’s shocking. 🙂 I’ve often thought that I’d try anything to beat this, and I have; but besides the fact that this method is outdated to say the least, it’s moronic to even suggest that these ‘other’ elements are anything more than secondary conditions that develop afterwards. The poor man had lost his wife and children, so of course he’s going to be up to try something. Well, on a positive note, they can rule that treatment out, hey? That’s very interesting information though. Thank you for sharing it!
In relation to this subject, someone else just said to me: “What are they going to do for the people who have ES, expose them to chemicals?” 🙂
I much prefer this study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1241653/ given to me by my treating doctor when this first happened to me, over 9 years ago.
“The three most highly rated treatments were creating a chemical-free living space, chemical avoidance, and prayer. Both creating a chemical-free living space and chemical avoidance were rated by 95% of respondents as helpful. Results for most therapies were mixed. Participants had consulted a mean of 12 health care providers and spent over one-third of their annual income on health care costs. We discuss this drain on personal resources and describe respondents’ attitudes toward the possibility of healing from MCS.” (The prayer component includes meditation.) I’m pretty sure that zapping people is not on that list.
Cheers

I’d love if you added my blog, One Canary Sings, to this list, please.
And thanks for your work!
Yes, absolutely. Delighted to do it, and even more so to discover One Canary Sings I used these keywords: ‘Jennifer Lunden, Pushcart Prize, Notes from an Industrialized Body, The Butterfly Effect, MCS, Chemical Sensitivity, environmental illness, One canary sings’ to list it.
Very, very interesting. And I adore your post on shoes: a topic close to my heart.
And, I’ve added the Anthology that your work, the Butterfly Effect, appears in, to my Amazon shopping list. Fellow canaries, pre-order your copy here:
Thanks for thanking me for my work; I feel awful silly sometimes, yet blessed to have this online cornucopia of fellow canaries supporting me ♥ Miche
Thank you, Miche!
