Environmental illness

Environmental illness (EI) is defined as multifaceted complaints, both physical and emotional, triggered by a multitude of chemical substances, usually having a cumulative effect. Normally blood tests and standard physical exams show no irregularities and the person is often told that it is simply “all in their mind” due to their extraordinary head-to-toe complaints. Hypersensitivity to the environment increases as the EI person becomes more and more sensitive to “ordinary” items including fluoridated water, cosmetics, perfume, cigarette smoke, and polyester clothing. The person is more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections as well as yeast overgrowth, as smaller doses of the chemical insult triggers increased symptoms.

The list of signs and symptoms of environmental illness is virtually endless, and include almost any symptom one can think of. Our holistic approach is very effective in this area.
