| Popis: | The multiple chemical sensitivities syndrome is a symptom complex characterized by emotional depression, short-term memory loss, acquired intolerance to environmental agents such as aerosolized petrochemicals and foods, and alteration in metabolic rate associated with increased body mass. This syndrome can be caused by multiple etiologic agents. With careful evaluation, it is rare that a causal agent can not be identified in this syndrome. Our treatment regimens include combinations of diet and environment control as well as antiviral, antifungal, and immune modulator therapy. We find that the majority of patients can, through time and appropriate treatment, be restored to a normal and productive lives. |
