Breakthrough study on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity shows MCS is an epidemic caused by toxic chemicals; peer-reviewed paper is published in prestigious toxicology reference work.

Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is also known as chemical sensitivity, chemical intolerance and toxicant-induced loss of tolerance, with this last name emphasizing the role of chemicals in initiating cases of this disease. Pall’s paper, entitled Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: Toxicological Questions and Mechanisms, establishes five important facts about MCS:

1) MCS is a stunningly common disease, even more common than diabetes; 2) MCS is caused by toxic chemical exposure; 3) The role of chemicals acting as toxicants in MCS has been confirmed by genetic studies; 4) We have, a detailed and generally well supported mechanism for MCS; 5) For over 20 years, some have falsely argued that MCS is a psychogenic disease, being generated in their view by some ill defined psychological mechanism.
