When faced with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, the key to surviving well is nontoxic housing.

livewellCBS 21 introduces you to a woman who has learned how to live well with chemical sensitivities, a disability that for some, keeps them secluded from life.

The answer was in the form of a house. Her “Health House” is considered the most stringent in the nation for health, durability and energy efficiency–with a certificate to prove it.

“It was designed for this disability to minimize chemicals and have high level of indoor air quality,” says Nancy.

Nancy’s house is filled with carefully selected products—solid woods, metals, organic cotton bedding.

At night, when the body does its best detoxifying, Nancy uses oxygen to help it along. With its complex filtration system, the health house is able pull air in, the window’s are sealed tight, the entire home pressurized—keeping all the bad air out.

Nancy lives on a very specific diet of all organic, fresh products because it’s very healing for the body. She rids organic fabrics of any chemical residue by soaking it in powered milk. It’s a complete life-style adjustment; one that allows her, to finally live.

“I wouldn’t be able to live well with a disability and be as productive as what I am,” says Nancy. “This house has helped me move from really having very little function in my life to being able to be out now and become part of the community.”
