Hello, Friends,
I was just recalling my first visits to chemical sensitivity websites way back in 2010, when my ideas for this blog were just beginning to percolate.
Following is the text* of one of my first dips into the waters of this vast field of environmental medicine and environmental awareness:
********************************************************
Dear Author,
I’ve missed your name — but what an outstanding piece you’ve put together! This is an incredible resource. I’ve been suffering with MCS for the past 20 years. I only began making sense of the pattern of reacting to chemicals, however, in the mid-1990’s. It took a few years for me to “get it.” I’m only now taking the proactive route of trying to boost public awareness.
I was asked, yesterday, to provide statistics on how many homeless people are homeless specifically due to MCS. The person who asked me is a public advocate for the homeless. This person could begin to raise public awareness very effectively, armed with the proper statistics.
Do you have such statistics? (And I would love to know your name, also!)
Thanks so much.

Thank you, Varda Burstyn, for the kindness of your communication back in 2010; and thank you, especially, for an outstanding website with volumes and volumes of information on common chemicals and their detrimental effects!
