Planet Thrive has replaced it’s classifieds section—which contained listings for safer housing, trailers, used health products, jobs, services, and events—with a stand-alone site called MCSsafehomes.com. This site will have housing & trailer listings with full color photos, resource links for buying/renting/building a safer home or trailer, and a blog with features on people living with environmental sensitivities (to chemicals, electric, the sun, etc.) and their housing stories.
Planet Thrive founder, Julie Genser, says
There is such a huge need for safer housing for the thousands of people with severe environmental sensitivities—living in cars, backyard sheds, and rundown trailers across our country, not to mention those suffering in isolation in their homes built with standard toxic building materials or poisoned by indoor pesticide/insecticide applications. Yet, there is no website out there focused 100% on this issue. MCSsafehomes.com is the first of its kind.
For those interested in placing a (FREE) housing listing or suggesting resources and/or future feature ideas, email all pertinent information and photos to [email protected].

Earthwalker is the username that PT founder Julie Genser created for her online interactions so many years ago when first creating Planet Thrive.
Julie's (Earthwalker's) life was derailed over twenty years ago when she had a very large organic mercury exposure after she naively used a mouth thermometer to measure the temperature of just-boiled milk while making her very first pizza at home. The mercury instantly expanded into a gas form and exploded out the back of the thermometer right into her face. Unaware that mercury was the third most neurotoxic element on Earth, Julie had no idea she had just received a very high dose of a poisonous substance.
A series of subsequent toxic exposures over the next few years -- to smoke from two fires (including 9/11), toxic mold, lyme disease, and chemical injuries -- caused catastrophic damage to her health. While figuring out how to survive day-to-day, and often minute-to-minute, she created Planet Thrive to help others avoid some of the misdiagnoses and struggles she had experienced.
She has clawed her way over many health mountains to get to where she is today. She is excited to bring the latest iteration of Planet Thrive to the chronic illness community.
In 2019, Julie published her very first cookbook e-book called Low Lectin Lunches (+ Dinners, Too!) after discovering how a low lectin, gluten free diet was helping manage her chronic fascia/muscle pain.

I am a 3X cancer survivor, with LAD heart stent and serious MCS, living in Wash DC, looking for relocation to safe housing in area or elsewhere (depending), in desperate situation in apt. building. Can someone please contact me with suggestions/info. Most appreciated ASAP. Thanks. JS
Hi Judith, I sent suggestions to you via your friend Ann who contacted me via email. Hope you find safe housing soon! Best, Julie
