Think of your body as a cup with a small crack in the side. If you keep filling the cup faster than it can drain, it will overflow. Smoke, perfume, cleaners, chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, plastics, electromagnetic fields, food allergies and regular allergies, Candida, etc, add to our total body load. If our body is unable to detoxify the above fast enough, we reach our total body load and begin to have reactions. A person having a reaction is like a cup running over. Environmental factors are entering the body faster than it can eliminate them. The body of a person with EI/MCS can not readily detoxify and eliminate chemicals, therefore, chemicals store in the fatty tissue, liver and brain. Symptoms include but are not limited to: Brain Fog, Chronic Fatigue, Mood Swings, Pain in various parts of the body, Flushing, Memory Loss, Inability to concentrate, Chest Pains, Headaches, Visual disturbances, Sensitivity to light and sound, Audio disturbances, sensitivity to touch, Rashes, Hair loss, Vertigo, Dizziness, Asthma, Flu like symptoms that won't go away, Nausea, Depression, and the list goes on and on. Individuality plays an important role in why some people have MCS and others don't. For instance, more women than men have the symptoms. Men produce Testosterone which often covers up the problem until it's to late. Women produce Estrogen which does not cover up the symptoms or warning signs. By the time they realize what they have, fixed name disease has often taken place in the heart, liver, Brain etc. If warning signs are ignored MCS can result in end organ failure and death.
