Episode Description
This episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is a game-changer. It counters widespread misinformation and misunderstanding about Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), an illness that affects millions around the globe.
You'll hear Aaron Goodman in conversation with Beatrice Golomb, Professor in Residence in Medicine at the University of California in San Diego in the U.S.
Professor Golomb explores:
- How MCS is clearly not a psychological condition, but an illness influenced by mitochondrial or cellular damage, genetics, and chemical exposure.
- The connections between MCS and Gulf War Illness.
- How recent diagnostic recognition of Gulf War Illness could potentially lead to better understanding and validation of MCS.
This important information has the potential to critically inform researchers, policy makers, people living with MCS, and the wider public.
