5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource, June 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Chemical Exposures: Low Levels and High Stakes, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)

Of all that I have read on the subject of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), this is by far the most cogent, balanced, organized, and complete summary of information on this mysterious medical phenomenon. I would recommend it to anyone who suffers from MCS, TILT, CFIDS, or any of the constellation of related supposedly "psychological" symptomologies, including depression, anxiety disorder, or bi-polar illness. Read it BEFORE you spend another nickel on supplements, vitamins, or anti-depressant drugs!

4.0 out of 5 stars Best and now up-to-date review of a complex subject (2nd ed), May 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chemical Exposures: Low Levels and High Stakes, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)

excellent review of the available data on this difficult subject. Lots of evidence based data and peer reviewed literature is used as the basis of discussion of this controversial subject. Highly recommended although it may also raise more questions that it answers. The authors are highly qualified (Prof at MIT with experience in environmental affairs and practicing MD allergist)

donnaya@rtk.net (Baltimore, Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chemical Exposures: Low Levels and High Stakes, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)

The 2nd edition of Chemical Exposures reviews all sides of the MCS debate--with much new information on scientific and policy developments since the first edition. I recommend it highly for patients, physicians, and policy makers. --Albert Donnay, Exec. Director, MCS Referral & Resources
