Hey everybody Dr. Rick here and I wanted to talk to you today about multiple chemical sensitivities also known as environmental illness and a lot of people might be like well what is that? I'll let you know it's not as uncommon as you might think. Current estimates are putting in about 30 % of the population suffering from this condition.
So what is it? Basically, multiple chemical sensitivities is an extreme reaction to different scents or fragrances.Let me give you some examples. Common things that trigger it will be perfumes, fragrances, laundry soaps, diesel fumes, pesticides,off -gassing of furniture, new rugs, you get the idea. These people, it's not just a little bit annoying, right? Multiple chemical sensitivities.It sounds like, "Ah, it's no big deal. You're sensitive." The truth is this is totally debilitating for people. They wind up not being able to go outside, not able to go to the grocery store,not able to go into public places because they never know when something's going to hit them and cause them to be debilitated or suffer extreme symptoms.
So what kind of symptoms are we talking about here? Headaches, nausea, dyskinesias, which are basically uncontrolled movements. They can wind up with cortical dysfunction,neurological dysfunctions, extreme cases people can even fall down unconscious onto the floor. Now imagine if you're suffering from this condition and you never know when you're going to encounter somebody that can trigger this.You're not going to feel real safe going outside. So unfortunately these people wind up becoming reclusive. They wind up not being able to have friends or go out or do normal social activities.This is a pretty big impact on people and it's a tidal wave right now. The multiple chemical sensitivities is an indicator for what's coming.It's a sign or a symptom that we want to pay attention. So, what do we do about this? Well, I'll tell you, the primary thing that we want to really look at is how do we help your nervous system.
Your nervous system is a key component in this and we really want to help people find ways to regulate their nervous system so they're not going haywire.There's also other things that need to be done. Usually there's two main underlying causes and those two main underlying causes that lead to multiple chemicals and stities are,you guessed it, mole toxicity and a co -infection of Lyme's disease called Bartonella. So for those of you who are out there suffering from this,there is hope. We can actually turn this around. It takes some time and it requires a very comprehensive treatment, including network care,including specific treatments to help reduce your toxic load. If you or anybody you know is suffering from this condition, please get, it is not in your head.
It's actually a real physiological thing. A lot of the medical community is still out there telling you you're crazy or you can't possibly be that sensitive or you're just making this up,it's a real physiological thing and unfortunately because of the increasing levels of toxicity that we're all encountering, we're seeing more and more of it.That 30 % of the population statistic I gave you, that was from PubMed 2018, so you can just imagine how much more toxic the world is now that many years later.
