Newbie / Jan (in Michigan)

[Guest guest]

First, I want to thank everyone that has offered suggestions to me.

They are each very appreciated.

Jan, the doctor I found to help us, he is an environmental

specialist. He is 5.5 hours one way, but his the closest I could find

that treats those with MCS. Our poisoning is from our home, we bought

it new and the formaldehyde levels were higher than they are suppose

to be, so over the years my health kept getting worse until I was

told I didn't have long unless (I) could find out what was wrong with

me. The doctor that told me this, was too busy, he said, to do any

research. I do have him to thank though, because his saying I didn't

have long got me very motivated to find myself some help.

My daughter and I both are on antigen therapy, which if you don't

know, we are being treated with the chemicals that has poisoned us in

the first place. Same as allergies to pollens, trees etc. Injections

daily for life. The reason he says my outlook is bleak, is i'm

severely allergic to formaldehyde and in all his 30 years of treating

MCS, i'm the worse and only got 5 more levels to go and there won't

be any medicine for me then. This is why i'm desperate to help myself

any way I can. I want to do everything that a mother can do to make

sure my daughter doesn't reach where I am with this illness.

We both all to well know the restrictions for those living with

MCS. I homeschool her and we both barely ever go out in public

anymore. The perfume/cleaners can put us in bed for days, weeks, and

even a month, it's not worth it. I just wish the public were educated

as to what those chemiclas are doing to them.

You said, my " sensitivities " had gotten to the point that I

was reacting to all other petro/coal tars commonly found in

everything else too. " Coal, tar, asprins are phenol, which we are

allergic to as well. We react to everything chemical and some natural

things. Thanks for your help; I had already figured out the milk

thistle and dandelion could help, now to give them a try.
