Abstract Research for Article on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and Consensus from Italy
On the international scene, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is defined, by severalexperts, as a multisystem syndrome that develops following chronic exposures to low doses of common chemical contaminants. Its general characteristics are, however, the object of conflicting opinions and a source of debate and research aimed at the appropriate nosological and therapeutic frameworks. In the face of a potentially debilitating trend, both in the occupational and in the economical and social sphere, the scientific community has not so far found an agreement. This problem leads patients and their associations to periodically claim some requests. The syndrome is also taken into consideration at a political level, especially due to the close connection with the problems related to environmental pollution and to decision making in the field of control and prevention.
For these reasons we believe that an appropriate widespread surveillance network forMCS should be set up in Italy, capable of intercepting possible cases, analyzing them at a multidisciplinary level, and following their evolution.
This is the best and most positive thing I’ve seen in a long time. It’s way over due for a serious study that doesn’t want the brand the participants as mentally ill and just get on an record what’s going on with individuals. Too many people have had their lives destroyed by this living hell called MCS. How the heck do we sign up for this? Australian healthcare providers should be ashamed of their complicity in persecuting people with MCS by not “believing”, not supporting, and stinking up their practices and hospitals making it almost impossible for people to seek just basic care.
We’re working on it 😉 The truth doesn’t go away, mate, Have a good day.
