Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) also known as, Toxic Chemical Injury, Environmental Sensitivities, affects 16% of the U.S. population, and has become a worldwide environmental health crisis, increasing daily at an alarming rate in countries such as USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, Denmark, Finland, England, France, Sweden, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Japan, China, Pakistan, India, and many more.
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) has been formally recognized as a physical illness, in the National Health Care System, by the German Institute of Medicine, Documentation and Information, and is classified within the German version of the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Diseases, Code T 78.4, under chapter 19, injuries, poisoning, and certain other consequences of toxic causes, ICD-10-GM,which is under Social Security Code V in the Federal Republic Germany, by order of the Federal Ministry of Health.
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) which is an environmental illness, triggered by low level toxic exposures, or by acute toxic exposures, such as pesticides, insecticides, fumigants, solvents, sick buildings, and a very large number of chemicals in the environment, is gaining increasing recognition by many doctors, scientists, and researchers, and by numerous governmental agencies, in many countries in the world.
People who develop MCS experience painful and debilitating hypersensitivity reactions that can be life-threatening, to the slightest exposure to chemicals in the environment, and usually have severe food intolerances. As the illness progresses, they gradually react to virtually everything in the environment.
MCS produces irreversible damage that causes myriad of symptoms, in many body organs, especially, neurological , and respiratory, that can take many forms depending on gender, health and nutritional status, individual genetic susceptibility and metabolism, the length and type of toxic chemical exposures. There is no cure at present time for this illness, and governments in many countries in the world are starting to take some precautionary measures of reducing the use of toxic chemicals as a prevention for this environmental illness, which is a direct consequence of global pollution.
Accurate information on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is available at the award-winning website:
MCS HOMEPAGE
and at the outstanding site :
MCS-AMERICA
Hopefully, other countries, all around the world, will eventually follow the path of the German Federal Ministry of Health, and formally recognize and classify Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) as a physical illness in their version of the World Health Organization (WHO).
