Something to think about: THE
CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION'S ENVIRONMENTAL ILLNESS BRIEFING PAPER, 1990 , in
which they state: "Because it has the potential to impact many segments of society,
many groups have an interest in placing environmental illness in its proper perspective.
... Because environmental illness is a health issue, the only people who can legitimize it
are physicians, and they have not. Should environmental illness arise as an issue, a
coalition with the state medical association is absolutely necessary."

Note: Please note that no conclusions in which research has not been controlled for
those with an MCS phenotype can be drawn and applied to this population subgroup. Be aware
that biochemical individuality has not been controlled for in much of the above
information and so one cannot assume any generalizations apply if one may be a deviant in
the test control populations. It is highly recommended that one use ones own laboratory
assays under professional guidance to determine what best enhances ones health.
