I love this site. It’s chock full of the human interest stories and unique angles that are often overlooked on other MCS blogs. Julie Genser reminds me of an MCS version of NPR’s Ira Glass. Thanks for keeping this site so rockin’ and hip!

Hi Ann,

I just checked out your site and WOW! There’s a wealth of information there.

I was wondering what that herbal tea was that caused the hives?

thank you for all of the work you put into your website.

I am chemically sensitive and realized it around 1989. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993 and felt unable to tolerate chemotherapy. Because of that refusal I began to explore alternative medicine. I found so much I started a nonprofit that informs people with cancer about natural therapies.

It’s amazing where things bring us. In 1999 I started taking Chinese herbs to deal with recurrent breast cancer – I was also taking a ton of supplements, as well as acupuncture, applied kinesiology and osteopathy. The first herbal tea I drank created an immense hive attack ALL over my entire body. As it faded, over a three-day period, my level of intensity of chemical sensitivity reduced greatly as did the usual symptoms that I experienced.

I am still chemically sensitive but no longer subject to days or weeks of illness.
