CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY; BASIC AVOIDANCE MEASURES
If you have just been diagnosed as chemically sensitive, or have just come through one of the elimination programmes just described, you are probably feeling very unnerved by what you have discovered, wondering how you will cope.
Take heart, it is not as bad as it seems. It is perfectly possible to live with even very severe sensitivity and to function quite happily in everyday life, if you take precautions and follow some basic guidelines. You are not sentenced to a prison cut off from ordinary life. There will inevitably be things in your life that have to change, and you may well have to give up some things that you cherish, but you will not have to become a hermit, remote from the world.
There are no really effective treatments for chemical sensitivity and allergy. Neutralisation therapy can work for some people , and some people find that complementary therapies help. Taking high doses of vitamins and minerals can also help. The only thing that is consistently of any benefit is avoiding chemicals and eliminating them from your environment as far as you can.
Your basic precautions for coping with chemicals are to:
• Air things when new
• Take care when things get warm
• Avoid fumes
• Think twice before using chemicals
