I'm currently looking for a new place to rent because I can't handle being cooped up with the windows closed all the time because of the smokers who live around me. I love gardening but I can't do it anymore because of the smoke and dryer vents. I'm looking desperately for a new place and you just listed all the things that I am aching for. Looking at a potential place tomorrow...wish me luck!Melissa Collins Rutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13974317735461529434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868552.post-38912105788127235052012-10-14T07:33:08.915-07:002012-10-14T07:33:08.915-07:00I am encouraging people to look up contact informa...I am encouraging people to look up contact information for SCJohnson and Proctor and Gamble and other companies that make products that make you sick. A big target can be laundry products, Gain by Proctor and Gamble actually markets to "Strong Scent Seekers" my theory is that the laundry products are being forced out of laundry exhausts, heated and moving fast, which obviously impacts the air in densely populated areas such as apartment buildings a lot, so lets start with them. I call all the time or write on their contact. They will try to put you off but if enough people write to them they may change the formulas, figure out what is making people sick but instead of commiserating with each other, WRITE OR CALL MANUFACTURERS. I purposefully mentioned two large, world wide "umbrella" companies so you can take a look at things they make under various brand names and let them know what you are experiencing.<br /><br />I also think a "Change.org" petition can help, I am working on that but I recommend dozens of themRodellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07380516094193564807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868552.post-40112563946450492222011-05-30T23:14:34.702-07:002011-05-30T23:14:34.702-07:00Hi, This is my first attempt a posting to a blog. ...Hi, This is my first attempt a posting to a blog. I am a 68 year old male with MCS for the last four months. I've been reading everything I can lay my hands on about MCS, trying to figure out what is going wrong with me. <br />I've read that 80% of MCS afflicted are women. This blog seems to bear that out.<br />One tip that I would like to share with fellow sufferers, especially Masked Avenge: if your problem with your computer is with the awful smell of plastic (and not electricial sensitivity) try applying a thin coating of Silicone Grease (Home Depot, $3 for 1/2 oz.) on all the plastic parts to eliminate all emissions from all the additives. Silicone Grease is the main ingredient in car and furniture polishes and unlike all those very nasty petrochemicals, is a chemical based on silicon and not carbon. I find that it has a slight, non-toxic smell.FirstFoxBatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868552.post-37433649533014534732011-05-30T23:13:08.398-07:002011-05-30T23:13:08.398-07:00Hi, This is my first attempt a posting to a blog. ...Hi, This is my first attempt a posting to a blog.

I had a very good life because I had my husband, a safe house, a 6 acre farm and beautiful border collies to raise, train and trial out on big ranches and farms in the Northwest. <BR/>Six weeks ago I made the horrible mistake of letting a young woman into my home who was wearing perfume. After 5 days of health problems, I compounded the situation by using a type of photocatalytic spray on some of my walls. We had used a type of product like this before to remediate mold, and when it bothered me a bit, I washed it away. Not so this time. The activated oxygen created in this process disinfects air at rates higher than ozone. I am currently living outside of my home for the past 2 weeks, recovering from CNS problems. My husband is severely stressed as remediation attempts at this point are not working and I am afraid of everything.<BR/>The next steps would include sealing off part of the house, cleaning walls with caustic chemicals, or painting over walls, or just taking the damn walls down. I don't know if my marriage will survive and I am worried about a warm, dry place to spend the winter without leaving my loved ones. I have dealt with a lot of loss with this disease; a job, access to public places, etc. but was really happy and grateful with my life. It is hard to accept that in feeling so good these past three years, I made two such stupid blunders. I am paralyzed with fear and don't know if I can hang in there. I feel right now like I'm in a nightmare and am losing all control. I am sleeping in car outside my home, and looking in at the lit windows at night. Please, let's all keep each other in a positive ring of good thoughts. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. The photocatalytic spray "veneer", left undisturbed, is supposed to last 1 to 2 years. I've got to do something. I am trying to fight for my home and life.

I am looking for people who would agreed to be interviewed regarding when how and what happened. I need people who can connect their MCS with a chemical paint, pesticide found in their home. I would give a percentage of the profit I make to those people whose stories I print. They would remain anonymous. Would you be interested? Anyone who is please let me know on this blog and I will contact you. A fellow MCS sufferer.

Now I can go look at MCSVillage on Yahoo Groups (why didn't that come up when I did a search for MCS on the groups site?) and see whether that meets my needs or not. In the meantime, know that you are not alone in your dreaming. I'd like a piece of land that didn't have to be "maintained" right on edge of the ocean. Small, safe house, all the appropriate amenities... And I'd like to see all the Hummers and SUV's removed from society.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868552.post-53616554543702614062007-04-12T10:16:00.000-07:002007-04-12T10:16:00.000-07:00I would gladly join such a community, even if it w...I would gladly join such a community, even if it were only a campground spot. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868552.post-41493273047292481272007-04-12T08:59:00.000-07:002007-04-12T08:59:00.000-07:00Greetings Masked Avenger, from somewhere in space....Greetings Masked Avenger, from somewhere in space. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
