Who’s chirping about Multiple Chemical Sensitivity?
Eva at NO FUN reports News From Japan: Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Recognized as a Physical Disease, with a mention about The Canary Report. Eva is the best networker in the MCS community I’ve ever seen. She’s gone global with her Naked Truth About MCS, now translated into nine different languages. She’s just introduced me to a chemical policy analyst in Japan, who found out about Eva from the post I did on her amazing nude photo shoot about MCS. Writes Eva:
Takeshi Yasuma is Chemicals Policy Analyst from Citizens Against Chemicals Pollution (CACP). He works on issues related to chemical pollution in humans and environment, including Chemical Policies, Toxic Chemicals, Toxic Wastes, Hazardous Nanotechnology, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and Children’s Health. As I explained in the post I published yesterday, I’ve met him because of The Naked Truth about MCS that he translated into Japanese from The Canary Report. I’m sure that it’s only a beginning and we will keep in touch. Today is a great day because having contact with Japan is a great step for all of us.
The Design Observer Group reports on Community: The American Way of Living, where the authors explore how different types of communities are created. “Like-minded clustering has [...] produced communities for golf, fishing, and horseback riding, communities for gay retirees, multiple-chemical-sensitivity sufferers, hipsters and suburban Muslims. A road trip through North America would show the tremendous variety of like-minded communities out there.”
Star Telegram reports some Arlington residents say a nearby gas well is making them sick. DenBraber, who said she is on disability for severe chemical sensitivity, has complained to the university and Carrizo about the well since the first rig was erected in 2007. She said she has accumulated $14,000 in medical bills since then, and she blamed fumes coming from the site.
Judi at humor columnist Dave Berry’s Blog does a rif about people drenching themselves in perfume. A commenter says, “AMEN, judi! And thank you from all of us suffering from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (yes, it is a diagnosis). Mine came about from working in a tiny bathroom developing black and white film for years – chemical injury.”
The National Post reports on an Ottawa manufacturer of conventional mattresses, who bowed to customer insistence to produce mattresses for people with chemical sensitivities: How Jean Corriveau transformed his business from chemical-based to 100% organic. Hmmmm. I wonder if those mattresses are safe enough for peeps with MCS?
