Sir; This problem has been estimated in two seperate studies to affect approximately 16% of the population or millions of your constituents. It is a preventable ailment and some potential victims even have certain biomarkers which can be identified if physicians can be educated in the basic toxicology omitted from most medical school curriculums. Dealing with this ailment can be a spur to new industry and development of safeguards for existing industry. All citizens can benefit from the lessons to be learned and persons like myself can continue to contribute to the GNP instead of becoming a burden upon society as I have at the age of 45. Please act and save lives. Thank you.

I live in a state (Hawaii) that thinks pesticides should be used EVERYWHERE. Neighbors poison neighbors, schools, pedestrian walkways, public parks, government buildings, and MANY other places where children and others, including those of us with impaired immune systems travel. Our state is worried about attracting tourists and having the island "look" good. It does not listen to those of us who are becoming ill from these horrible practices. Golf courses are in almost every neighborhood poisoning everyone on a daily basis. Restricted pesticides are the norm. Outlawed chemicals (ie chloradane) can still be obtained here. There is absolutely NO education for people on our islands. We have evacuated schools several times a year because a neighbor has mixed chemicals and sprayed nearby. This must stop. We are looking to you for your leadership on this ever increasing problem.

Recognition of the vast numbers of people affected with MCS is sorely needed, and long, long, over due. Many of us suffer from isolation, and lack of medical care due to unemployment , simply because we can not find a safe enviroment to work in ! Socially MCS is not an "authentic" disease , public awareness needs to be addressed.

My wife has become dibilitated with this truly horrible disability. I have watched her go from a vibrant healthy athlete to a bed-ridden, totally disabled person. The claims of this being a psychological illness are an outrage! She worked for 18 years for the airline industry, was at the top of her salary, could travel anywhere in the world, had great health/dental insurance, was active in 4 sports. NO ONE can tell me she EVER had a psychological problem. NO ONE would give up our wonderful life to lie in bed in excruciating pain, vomiting at times. THIS ILLNESS IS REAL!!!!!!!

I have migranes at the first breath of perfumes and chemicals and am trying to survive working and living. I am unable to go to church anymore, theaters, stores, peoples homes, restaurants, ect. My life is ruined. I am now struggling working for a doctor to support our household. My employer is not understanding and has now taken me off my job to learn the receptionist job. This requires me to work all day for two days out of the week to train. Even though they know I get migranes with exposure to the patients perfumes, they do not care. I am required to do this part of my job in order to keep working there. I will now have a migrane almost everyday . I have never missed one day of work due to my condition. Please help. How can they do this to me. I only want to work and support my family and not be sick.

I was diagnoised with MCS, Chronic Fatigue syndrome, and having severe asthma in 1995. Extensive blood testing showed that an additive in gasoline caled MTBE caused my health ailment. MTBE produces formaldehyde and other poisnous gases when it is burned. MTBE is responsable for a onset of ailments of health complaints in alska in 1992. In 6 weeks of using MTBE in their fuel the govenor of Alaska refused to use it. MTBE is known to reduce the imuine system, cause respritory ailments, nourlogical disorders, such as ADD, loss of concentration and others along with an array of health symptoms. The usage of MTBE is in direct violation of the 1990 clean air act because it increases formaldehyde and other poisionous gasess when burned. MTBE is also responsable for poisioning our water supply. Many states have tried to ban MTBE. The use of such chemicals are wide spread and effecting everyone of all ages

My life has changed from a productive, hardworking, high achiever to a life of isolation and illness... I want this disorder recognized, researched and cured.... I want the medical community to recognize MCS as a legitimate disorder and know how to test for it and diagnose it... I want everyone to know the dangers of synthetic toxic chemicals in their everyday life. I want fragrance ingredients tested (all of them) and the bottles labeled if the ingredients are not safe for humans to wear and breath...I want corporations to take responsibility for the damages they have knowingly caused... I want corporations to care more for the health of society than they do for their profit margins... I want the public educated so that we can stop this disorder from claiming more and more people in this great country... I want our voices to be heard and listened to... Please hear our truth...

When I get a real bad reaction I feel as if I have a combination of Alzimers, MS, and Parkinson's desease combined. MCS has affected the whole family and has had a great impact on my life.

MCS has significant impacts on every aspect of life: family relationships, ability to work, travel, or attend public events. Finding intelligent medical care and appropriate housing is difficult and expensive, especially when one has lost their health benefits along with their livelihood. Contrary to the self-interested claims of those who profit from chemicals, MCS is a physiological illness, and its victims are not to blame. MCS is preventable (although not currently curable), and it is not going to disappear on its own. It is heartbreaking to go from being a fully functioning, active member of society to a virtual recluse. However, the most destructive element of MCS is the "psychogenic causation" propaganda spread by those who would be forced to pay if the truth about MCS were acknowledged. How many more must be injured before our country takes action?

You might also read "Tooth Truth" by Frank Jerome DDS as many people with ecological illnesses can't get better without also dealing with dental issues.

Please help those of us who have had our lives so severely affected that we have to isolate ourselves in order to live. It is such a devastating disease that grows progressively worse all of the time and I can't seem to get help from Social Security Disability so I can seek treatment at the EHCD specialists and make ends meet. I have been waiting for nearly two years for SSD and can hardly go to my daughter's basket ball games due to exposure, much less work. It is hard work to try to keep my home environment livable and impossible to work. When I get around the general public, I begin to hurt like severe arthritis, get severe headaches, lose my equilibrium, get blurred and unfocused vision, feel like I am very drunk and my body and throat begin to swell. I have to get away from the people, take benedril and prednisone and often have to give myself a shot of addrenalyn. On top of that, every day I become more sensitive so I have to try to avoid so many things that are part of life. Please Help.

I feel an urgency for President George Bush to set aside this special month of May to recognize the growing problem of chemical sensitivity. Currently there are so many people who are ill from this disease/health problem, yet they are being treated for numerous complaints without true diagnosis of their illness. It is my belief if the true sufferers were identified we would be looking at a health epidemic. If we make haste and alert the medical professionals as well as the general public we could head off a pandemic.

I have had to quit my job because the scent of perfumes, colognes etc., caused me to have breathing problems. I was FIRED from my former teaching job because I was unable to tolerate mold & chemical scents in classroom. As a teacher who always had above average & mostly excellent ratings, my competence was found lacking by my principal when I was unable to tolerate these things. Yes, those of us who react to chemicals are discriminated against. Please help stop the use of perfumes, colognes, pesticides etc. in public places that interfere with so many lives. I am diagnoised as MCS, am an excellent teacher who cannot work because of the chemicals allowed in schools. Many students also suffer from asthma, headaches etc. because of these chemicals.

We know that medicine is keeping us all alive longer but the quality of life is terrible. A huge percentage of illness in the aging is from the body's constant bombardment by toxins in our environment. We breathe toxins; they are outgassing from the materials our homes are made of. They're in our foods from pesticides and tainted water. They are absorbed into our bodies from the synthetics in fabrics (i.e. formaldehyde) and from dangerous beauty products and cleansers. The Cancer society has published lists of known carcinogens....why aren't they banned as cyclamates were??? What good is it, living to be 90 if you have a shut down immune systm and all the attendant ills? It would be a shame if the drug companies took a loss of revenue because, with a cleaned up environment, we could enjoy freedom from so much pain and suffering without benefit of false, drug induced feelings of wellbeing. Less need for Prozac or pain killers. Please wake up and help mankind. We have to start somewhere!

I haven't worked a stitch since Feb.'98. I am a disabled research scientist. Prior to the bimonthly exposure to organophosphate (dursban) and a synthetic pyrethrin (demand) insecticide exposures AND their corresonding solvent carriers, sprayed under FDA/GMP regulations, I was a highly competent/functioning individual. MCS has ruined my health and wealth. Chemical avoidance is absolutely necessary. Petrochemicals are a huge problem. Local physicians are no help. Only physicians with Board Certifications in Occupational, Environmental, Toxicological and Internal Medicine have been able to diagnose my poisonings and only orthomolecular psychiatrist/homeopathic physician have been able to help me recover. I am displeased President Bush with your current track record with our environment and ergonomics; our MCS bodies can't handle repetitive motion. Please do a 180 immediately!

"I have a sister that has MCS, CFIDS, asthma and allergies. It's essential that she, and others with MCS, get the medical care they need, yet a ride in an ambulance, entering an emergency room, staying in a hospital, or even visiting any medical facility can be extremely dangerous to their health due to all the perfumes, air fresheners, and strong chemicals used in these facilities and by medical personnel. Perfume and air fresheners don't mix with the medical profession and the use of them within any medical facilities should be banned."

The U.S. government needs to start taking care of it's people, instead of continuing corrupt activities in the name of greed. Millions of Americans have MCS and millions more will follow suit. Chemicals in perfumes and other scented products are deleterious to people's health and the environment. People who wear perfumes are in danger, themselves. Perfumes contain hundreds of untested unregulated petrochemicals, solvents, carcinogens, aldehyes, numerous chemicals listed on the EPA's Hazardous Waste List, and more. Apparently our government is more worried about personal monetary gain, then the health of it's people. Read the truth: www.fpinva.org and www.ehnca.org

I was a legal secretary for 23 years earning $50,000/yr., and making a mighty contribution to the tax system, with an active social life, including volunteer activities. Today, I am a housebound invalid in total isolation from society due to the toxic airborne chemicals contained in fragrance products. Fragrance products contain neurotoxins, carcinogens (scientifically proven to cause breast and prostate cancer), respiratory irritants, and other chemicals that cannot be identified because there are no Material Safety Data Sheets. The FDA REFUSES to honor the petition filed by EHN & Cancer Prevention Coalition to have CK's Eternity misbranded. There is NO labeling on these products, in violation of the Toxic Substances Control Act! American consumers have a right to know what they are putting on their bodies and breathing in the air! As you read this President Bush, keep in mind your brother, Jeb, has made such a proclamation in the State of Florida.

Dear President Bush. I believe it's time for the public to be made aware of what their chemicals are doing to chemically sensitive people, not to mention, to themselves and others that are not yet chemically sensitive. There are too many toxic chemicals being manufactured and introduced into the environment. When a person can't go outside their house because of pesticides and synthetic fragrances something is very wrong. It's time for the government to stop giving free rein to chemical companies and demand they stop manufacturing chemicals that are so harmful to the earth and all living creatures.

The number of persons with Multiple Chemical Poisonings / Injuries is climbing rapidly and now we see, at a much earlier age. The amount of environmental chemicals persistant in our communities, even the banned pesticides, is out of control (proven by toxicological analysis). When I became chemically poisoned / injured in 1998, I had no idea how large the numbers were of people suffering this devastating afflicition. MCS clearly needs to be formally recognized.

I have run a health/environment ed organization (EarthSave LI) for the past 11 years. This has given me an eagle-eye view of MCS. There area many more sufferers than the casual observer might guess. Sensitive individuals are not taken seriously by government health officials--as their potentially strong negative reaction to pesticides is not weighed against the perceived "reasons" for spraying. They represent millions of who apparently don't matter when it comes to the formation of public chemical policy. This can only be explained by a lack of awareness of MCS on the part of our decision makers. We are in the first 50 years of a chemical experiment, with over 70,000 chemicals being used in our homes and schools--never having been tested for their synergistic effect on our health. Those with MCS act as an early warning sign of a toxic environment that all Americans are in fact subject to. Help increase awareness of this problem by designating May as MULTIPLE CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY AWARENESS MONTH.

I have lived with an amazing lady for 8 years who battles this illness DAILY. Evenings out are a rarity, due to the fact that we eat organic food whenever possible. A weekend away to a romantic getaway. FORGET ABOUT IT! The air fresheners, cleaning products, scented candles, soaps.... well you get the picture, would send her into a downward spiral and she would be bedridden for days or weeks. We moved from our apartment in the "big city" to our little house in the country because the air is so much cleaner. And lo and behold, their trying to turn our area into another toxic wastedump. Visiting my family is done only in the summer, since the oil that my parents use to heat their house makes her deathly ill. And just because she looks "alright to me" as my idiot family so often says, she is expected to be able to work a 40+ hour a week job. Just because you do not look disabled or handicapped doesn't mean you're not. I am a congenital heart defect survivor, but I look "just fine". PLEASE SIGN THIS!

The use and mis-use of poisonous chemical pesticides are not only killing pests, they are killing people and the environment in which we live. It all has to stop NOW!

President Bush, I'm an MCS victim of at least twenty years, from a combination of common household and personal-care products, pesticides,etc. The fragrance industry, chemical companies, and others, should be held accountable for destroying people's lives, with their toxic, poisonous chemicals. The public Must be made aware of what is being done to us, in increasing numbers, and will probably continue, until the greedy people who are responsible, have their lives destroyed too. We deserve as much recognition and help as those who suffer from cancer, and other horrible illnesses. Please help us.

I have had MCS since 1982 - by 1988 unable to work and for all that time everything I have done or tried to do was get well so I could have my life back (no matter what). It has been one roadblock after another, now trying to get my Social Security and that also is a fight of a lifetime. Please, I beg of you make it easier to get well. There are many people out here that want nothing else than to be able to have their life back!

Mr. Bush, Until I was afflicted with MCS two years ago as a result of having my carpet cleaned, I would have never realized what it was all about. I believe the public needs to be educated, as well as medical professionals. I have yet to find a doctor who can truly help me. In the mean time, I have great difficulty going to public places, church, meetings, shopping, school, even for a walk when lawns are being treated. Perfumes, cleaning products, scented candels, air "fresheners", and any thing with a chemical "odor" make it difficult for me to breathe! Even though I am one of the relatively few to react to these things, they are in fact hazardous to EVERYONE's health! Do us all a favor and educate the nation by enacting this proclamation!

After being exposed to numerous toxins at work (in a candy plant of all places) and becoming seriously ill, I was fired. No, benefits, nothing. I have had to fight for the treatment, which should never have been in question. I still have significantly high levels of toluene, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane and n-Hexane in my system. I must suffer every day and the corporations who are doing this to us are getting away scott-free.

My wife suffers everyday from shortness of breath, loss of balance, headaches, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and a host of other symptoms and syndromes. All of this because she was exposed to toxic chemicals at her place of employment. Then they dismiss her like she was nothing. She deserves better than what she is getting. She deserves proper treatment for her condition (which the insurance carriers have fought for over 3 years). Please make a stand a do what is right for all of us.

In december of 1999, my husband was exposed to solvents in a floor sealer when we were adding an addition to our home. since then he has become sicker and sicker. We were among the 'lucky' ones who were able to get a diagnosis of MCS and find a safe home in a cleaner area, albeit, a thousand miles away from family and friends, leaving our much loved home, furniture, clothes and pet cat. Our whole life-style has changed and my husband spends his days taking treatments to rid his body of toxins and researching other ways to get well. We are trying to educate our children and their children,, and our friends so that they may avoid getting this devastating disease. Thankfully, my husband was just retired, so has a pension, but many people are in the prime of their life and lose their jobs with no help or recognition from the government or the chemical companies who refuse to take responsiblity for the damage they are doing to people and this planet. Please help us all by signing this for AWARENESS of MCS

We are still left pretty much isolated to car-camp, evacuate to remote rural outposts, and beg for mercy regarding our exceedingly unglamorous housing requirements, or else submit to the toxic nursing homes or psych hospitals for a final few months of "care." . . . The publicly funded and contracted insecticide-spraying companies drive us out. The publicly funded and contracted painters drive us out. . .These and related problems are readily addressable, correctable barriers to all residents' health, and more critically, to our very access to housing - . . . we are re-defining justice in housing policy.

I have suffered from MCS for eight years due to an exposure from the pesticide Dursban. It has changed my life in very many negative ways: loss of my job, disbelief that there is truly anything physically wrong with me from my family and friends, loss of the choice to visit friends and family, shop, travel, go for a walk, go to church, the list goes on and on. Because now ,not only am I sensitive to pesticides but a host of other chemicals. Mr. President we desperately need more education and awareness of MCS. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.

Whatever may chemically injure a person, it is the ubiquitous poisonous untested and unregulated hazardous waste chemicals in perfumes and other artifically scented products that KEEP people injured. For God's sake what are you waiting for, two thirds of the people in this country to be too sick to work? When it effects the entities in congress, then we can be sure to get some relief. It's an atrocity, Mr. Bush. MCS became an EPIDEMIC, since fragrance formulations became 100% synthetic crap, full of over 800 known sensitizing chemicals. Let's not think about the numerous carcinogens for now. Is this country crazy? Damn right it is. But are you going to help the people, or your petrochemical rich friends?

There is far too little awareness of the way chemicals are in effect polluting our environment--not just the ozone layer. Everyone will be suffering from some form of mysterious allergic malady eventually, unless there is a different approach to adding a new chemical, petrochemical or not, to the environment. Instead of assuming any new chemical is fine until proven otherwise, the premise should be reversed: in an environment that since the Second World War has been glutted with new chemicals, the assumption should be that any new chemical is potentially problemmatic until proven, definitively, not to be. I live in a state complacent about its air quality and environment--but Hawaii's environment has visibly declined in quality even in the past decade. One only has to look out the window--the sealed window of unhealthily air-conditioned buildings that in fact are using too much fuel to make artificial, potentially polluted air. Take it seriously--we're into an over-technologized, -chemicalized world.

823. David Fishman
Mr. Bush (I refuse to call you President as you were clearly appointed by the Felonious 5 on the Supreme Court), this is a matter of grave public urgency. I know you've always embraced generous PAC donations from the petro-chemical industry for your campaigns. Nevertheless, the nation's public health depends on our government, elected or otherwise, recognizing the deadly effects of synthetic poisons from every manner of chemicals in our environment. I have experienced symptoms of this problem myself, and asthma makes the chemicals, such as household cleaners & detergents, all the more dangerous to my health. If I had my druthers, I'd prosecute the petro-chemical industry for crimes against humanity (among other victims) for killing us with their lucrative poisons. I know your Ashcroft won't do that, but you are morally compelled as the alleged leader of the "free world" to defend the safety and health of the American people by proactively destroying the causes of MCS.

As an MCS patient I spend countless hours informing, educating and assisting those around me regarding MCS. As well I network with chemically sensitive people seeking information. With this rapidly increasing affliction it is essential that we have avenues, e.g. a national awareness month, available to reach out to those afflicted, and to enlighten the population at large.

Dear Mr. President, As a conservative, Republican who voted for you and who also appreciates the job you have done so far, I am signing this petition in hopes that you will sign this declaration as a first step toward helping those affected by MCS. Due to my mother's MCS, it has become nearly impossible for her to visit me in California, and extremely difficult for me to visit her in Oregon. Because we rarely get to see her, MCS has not only affected her health and quality of life dramatically, but also the quality of life for her children and her grandchildren as well. MCS is real, please acknowledge its existence and begin to make positive changes that will help these people who are suffering. Thank you.

Mr President. I appeal to you with this very serious matter. Your fight against Terrorism is commendable, and needed. Please consider this fight as well. You said during your campaign that one concern of your was education related, That if one person didn't have a desk to sit in you would fight for that right. A healthy child that is in a public school that had to stand in comparison to a person suffering from Multiple Chemical Sensitivities is lucky. Why should a once healthy thriving promising individual suffer due to there own environment. Yes I know perhaps this afflicts a very few, but how many classrooms have you visited where a child has no seat. environmental issues have not been a very high agenda for your campaign, with out a clean environment you will have no people to lead. Please consider the Month of May M C S awareness Month. A simple thing to do for elevating you environment awareness program , and perspective from the people. Thank You sincerely Darrin Mathew Cappotto

I know that for YEARS I have grown my own ORGANIC vegetables and do not use pesticides in or around the house, limit the use of chemicals to clean in the house and try to stay as far away as possible from colognes and the like. Seems to help some, but not fully... I support this cause and am glad that President George W. Bush has declaired May as MCS Month! Thank you so much and I hope that the research and education will begin!

The general public needs to be educated on the issue of MCS. People think it is "all in your head," without understanding how completely debilitating this condition is to many of the body's systems. My mother has suffered with it for years, and our family has struggled to accept her condition and to support her in improving her quality of life. People NEED to know about MCS, and funds must be generated for the necessary research to find a cure.

There has got to be more ways to help people who are chemically sensitized to find safe affordable housing. I have tried for over a year to find a safer environment to live that would still be somewhat close to the family that I have here. Everyday is a battle trying to find a place that hasnt't been painted, carpeted, varnished etc. And since I am living on SSDi that doesn't leave much money to live off of. I had a job as an x-ray technician that I loved and because of not enough proper ventillation of the processing chemicals my life and income have been turned inside out and upside down. What are we supposed to do? Where is the help that should be there from out government? I implore you to listen and help us all out

My sister suffers from MCS, not only does she suffer from it she suffers from her coworkers who do not believe her and continue to use perfumes and such around her. Which causes her to react (and sometimes has to go by ambulance to the Emergency Room) and miss work

Our nation's lax labeling laws make it difficult and dangerous to be a consumer. We are forced to make, grow, hunt and raise most of our own food and meat for the sake of otherwise being poisoned by unlisted ingredients, processing chemicals, and pesticides.

People don't understand how serious the problem is & make jokes about it instead. There are so many times she can't go out to eat, to the movies, or even grocery shopping because they've cleaned the floor with chemicals. Natural products can work just as well & sometimes even better than all of the chemicals. More people need to become aware of how serious this is & that many are affected & cannot lead normal lives because of their sensitivity.

I observed first hand for 4 years how a close friend of mine went through "detox". She did this mostly by herself from reading everything she could and what she could do to help alleviate her symptoms. She is not "cured", but life is manageable now. I would never have know this condition existed if I hadn't seen with my own eyes how she suffered! It is real and I am convinced that many people suffer from it and are not aware it could be chemical sensitivity!

The evidence shows that chemicals cause a who slue of diseases from MCS to Lupus and Dr. Jack Thrasher and Dr. Barbara Sorg's studies prove that formaldehyde alone at low levels cause MCS and Lupus and that the MCS is permanent. The studies 4 to 1 show that MCS and chemical injuries are organic in nature and not psychological as the poisoning industry try's to say. Revelation 11:18 is what they have to look forward to. Pick your side now.

I am totally for the month of May to be designated for MCS Month, not only because I strongly believe people need to be helped but also that is my birth month ( A Perfect Reminder) People need to be educated about how their immediate environment is distroying their lives!

Dear President Bush, More and more people are developing chemical sensitivities every day. We need to take measures to insure safe environments, especially for our children. Schools are often unhealthy environments with mold problems and use of strong cleaning products that can be toxic. Lives of many people are affected by chemical sensitivities. Many of us are unable to work, attend our churches, shop and go to cultural events without becoming more ill. Your support and the recognition that people have Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) would help tremendously with a condition which is fast growing and much misunderstood.

I am only 22 years old it is very hard to live a life feeling that you are 75 when all your friends are out enjoying their young lives I am at home laying in bed because I'm in so much pain that I can not get up.I have been fired from several jobs due to the fact of me passing out from all the pain that these disease cause. I about to be homeless and I have no money. The disease causes as much pain as cancer or aids causes. It should be added to the list of disabilites for this nation. Trying to live a "normal" life with these disease is a challenge within itself.Between the bills from the doctor, multiple test, hosptials, and medicaitons I am already 7,000.00 in debt at the young age of 22. You should really consider helping people like me.Thank you for your time.

The silent, invisible thief, MCS/FM has removed me from any semblance of life as I once enjoyed it. My loved ones have had to suffer along with me as we educate and re-train ourselves to survive in this society of deadly toxins. At the minimum, we desperately need 'safe' housing and medical care access; access to churches, post-offices, gov't. offices, public transportation, community parks, elevators, and medical facilities. We must demand legislation to regulate auto emssions, esp. DIESEL in every state. Hud MUST formulate long-ago promised 'guidelines' for safe housing for MCS Section 8 clients. Workmans' Comp. programs MUST provide fair compensation for chemically injured workers, now disabled. We have forfeited our very lives without giving consent as these insiduous toxins destroyed them. The medical communiity MUST become educated and willing to provide intelligent care to MCS pts! We need your help and common sense to prevail re these and other related issues. Thank you.

I have MCS and react to scents (Others cleaning products, shampoos, fabric softeners and detergents are now toxic to me.), petrochemicals, herbicides, fungicides and pesticides and disinfectants. These were common in my office workplace before I became disabled and limit my life and wellness today. OSHA needs to protect office workers from new carpets, cleaning materials, pesticides, scents and stale air in closed buildings to help others from suffering the same fate as me. Now I fear assault as the municipalities hunt West Nile Mosquitoes. Please, President Bush, we are killing ourselves. Help our voices be heard most especially to help others avoid this tragedy.

We get a lot of your smog - the last thing we need is more pesticides from my country or any other. Pesticides make me become a zombie for 5 months each year. Every year I get sicker. Thank heavens the board of the condo where I live was smart enough and cared enough not to spray pesticides this year. Now I only get sick from them when I travel anywhere in the city.

Creating awareness for MCS is crucial. Many of us (up to 13% of the US population) cannot visit public buildings, grocery shop for ourselves, attend religious services or even friend's houses because of perfumes, fragrances, pestisides, cleaning chemicals and natural gas, amoung many other things. If people are made aware we could be accommodated and again be part of society. Please support this awareness.

I read your comments, and relate each one w ith compassion, as I have MCS. I was down to 3 foods and water for 4 years. I lost my employment, the support of many friends, my self-esteem,etc. It is the most devastating disease anyone can imagine, because the main population does not understand our demise, nor do they and most doctors care to. I went to Environmental Health Center, was too ill to even take part of their regime, but thanks to God, and a very knowledgeable nutritionist, alternative meds., probiotics, a LIVER CLEANSE, to detoxify the insidious chemicals, and healing of LEAKY GUT SYNDROME, I have gained 45 lbs. back, and can walk in a store without a mask. Anyone wanting my help, may contact me @ alphaomega2@alltel.net. Mayo gave me a short time with Auto Polyendocrinopathy Immune Candadiasis Hypersenistivity Syndrome( endocrine system was attacking itself) That was 10 years ago, Praise God, He left me here for a reason; to help others fight this immoral war on toxic exposure.

As with any disease, education and research are essential. The public has the right to information that will allow them to make informed decisions about things that effect their welfare. That is one of the rights this country was based upon. Unfortunately, historically, too many people have had to suffer before the general public becomes outraged enough to speak up and protest. Why should so many lives be destroyed by preventable diseases before the warning signs are headed? The sad truth is, people who suffer from illnesse that are related to common, every day chemical products are the victims of our modern Industial Age. How will the history books explain why so many had to suffer? Our efforts on behalf of those who are infirmed today will make a difference five years from now. Please don't wait until it's your mother, brother, sister or child who is suffering before you realize that you could have done something to prevent it and didn't.

I have lived with MCS for the last 10 years. I am one of the fortunate people that can still go to work, but that is due to considerate co-workers. At this time I work in an office setting. I worked in a cabinet factory many years ago and part of my job consisted of using chemicals, and handling treated wood. I contribute my present condition to the three to four years I worked there. My life is limited because of being sensitive to petroleum based products, and formaldehyde. I have to wear a charcoal filter mask to go shopping and even at work sometimes during holiday seasons when people use their scented candles. For me the use of scented products is no different than second hand cigarette smoke. I live where corn and soy beans are the biggest crops. The pesticides and fertilizers that the farmers use make me a home bound person during the time of spraying the fields. I believe that this is the main cause of why the incidence of cancer is so high in our area. There has got to be a better way.

We the people who suffer from MCS/CFIDS/FM/PWC need very much the support of each other, & the support from the public. Which I believe they will become more aware of our situration as we, the people are able to get the information out to the public. But we need the help & support of the people who does not suffer from these illiness, to help get the information to the public, due the the fact, PWC, are not always able to do the things we would love to do, so therefore we are asking for everyone's help. to make this happen. To the president, thank you for your help, & support, for such an illness that is so misunderstood! Thanks to all you help in surporting, this cause, even if it is just with your prayers, for without your prayers it would surly be much more difficult to get the help we need! Thanks to all!

I have seen the pain (emotional, physical, and financial) it is causing her. Her life style and that of her husband (my father) has completely changed. More research needs to be done on this disease due to the simple fact that because it is not recognized or understood, financial support is not there. Your attention and consideration would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I cant hang with my friends, go to the mall, movies, etc! C'mon now! And whosoever wants to debate me on MCS's realness may do so, I have studied all of the evidence.

1663. Muriel G. Lakey
Chemical sensitivities need better understanding and acceptance. I personally have had my life turned upside down because of my sensitivities. I was even forced to leave my job of eleven years because of it, or be fired, and this was at a hospital! The one place that should have understood. I have continued to have trouble finding a job because of my sensitivities and a bad reference from my former employer. All of this because no one understood the devastating effects that chemicals have on many people. Perfume should not be allowed in any workplace!! It is not an essential part of grooming, such as deodorant. Many chemicals are not allowed in the workplace, but many are that people view as "harmless". A person has to work to survive. I could have functioned in my job, but perfume made me so ill! Of course when this issue was addressed, it irritated many of the women to think they could not wear "heavy" perfume. I would think in a hospital it should be avoided for the patients sake,if nothing else!

Owing to the ubiquity of fragrances and other hazardous chemicals in our environment (both indoor and outdoor), the modern world is more accessible to a person in a wheelchair than it is to a sufferer of MCS. Those afflicted live each day in isolation and despair. This proclamation is important to raise awareness in a medical community which is largely hostile to MCS patients. MCS is a condition which is poorly understood and not treatable by conventional means since there is no pharmaceutical available to supress these symptoms of systemic poisoning. Please sign.

MCS is a condition that MUST be addressed. Too many people can not even leave their homes because of this illness. When they do, many must bring oxygen tanks with them. Even in their own homes they suffer, even thought they have taken all necessary steps to minimize attacks, a neighbor burning leaves or maybe one with a wood burning stove, can set the symptomes off in one with MCS! It is more than allergies, it is more than a overly sensitivity to a few things, it is a life of physical pain, it is a life of too many limitations, it is a life of hell. Thank you for taking the time to read this, because in the time it took you too do so, 7 out of the 10 I know whe suffer with CFS are now down and in horrific pain.

Data on the conditions show CNS abnormalities seen on brain scans (SPECT, PET, and FMRI), porphyrin metabolism abnormalities, elevated levels of nitric oxide, and its oxidant product, peroxynitrite, abnormal ERPs, and much more. There are consistent biomarkers found within the chemically sensitive population. As of 1999, there had been 609 published peer-reviewed articles on MCS, EXcluding articles in the Journal of Clinical Ecology. Of these, 311 present findings supporting physical causation, while 137 present data (mostly opinionated) of psychological origin. Almost all of the psychogenic papers were written before 1993. Thus, the weight of scientific data confirms physical causation. Further delay of recognition is absurd.

When does it all end, & when will the doctors realize that MCS is a devistating & debilitating illness, & should not be considered an invisable disease. I am housebound. Just to exist is not living.

Me, my husband and 2 daughters (ages 12 and 17) have suffered terribly for the past 12 years at the hands of the unknowing public and uncaring chemical corporations. we have lived our lives as recluses to try and maintain what little health we have due to chemical onslaughts which cannot be avoided. My prayer is that with the few extra eyes that may be opened we may be able to go to one or two public events or places, thereby having the same access as others. Have you ever heard the repeated ringing in your ears of your childrens questions, "Why do they get to do such and such, but we cannot?" It's heartbreaking. There is virtually not one place we can go safely except on top of a mountain.

MCS has im pacted the life of my dear friend. I think it is critical that people are made more knowledgeable about it. The more we know about anything that affects our bodies the better the decisions are that we each make. Life is a precious gift. It is all of our responsibilities to protect it in any way we can!

After being chemically poisoned with xylenes several years ago, I still stuffer with numbness, cartilage problems in my finger joints, short term memory problems. But now, I'm sensitive to more petrochemicals than xylenes. Formaldehyde, other solvents, fragrances, painting supplies, and other chemicals are also bothering. And, while my symptoms are mild in comparison to others, not being able to think, solve problems, and learn from mistakes is particularly troubling. We need the right to know what chemicals contribute to what effects and this should be labeled truthfully. I read the label of the product I used, and wore what I thought was a protective mask and gloves, but the label was not explicit. The gloves were the wrong material and the chemicals permeated through, wetting my hands. The mask did not have attached breathing apparatus, hence not protecting me. The opened windows and large fan made for inadequate ventilation. The law and label does not protect us.

ir polution prevention needs to be a Federal Requirement, so states like mine with high polution rates will be encouraged to save people's lives through prevention. Financially it makes sense. Prevention would lower medical and disability costs. NY has done it with much benefit to its citizens.

MCS has wreaked havoc upon my health, financial stability, and the quality of my life! I was unemployed for over five years, unable to find an employer willing even to take my disability claims seriously, much less provide the fragrance/chemical-free environment I required. Always a very sociable person, I now have virtually no social life. I can only safely go to the homes of my children, (only a few of) my other relatives, and two compassionate friends. I can no longer go to church, parties, classes, movies, the theater, ballet or opera, or shop at MOST stores, due to the increasing proliferation of perfumed products. I can no longer freely travel; I cannot afford a car, and public transportation is very risky, especially plane travel (and three of my children live very far away.) This is my own story, but all those with MCS have similar stories. The "chemical soup" in which we all live is also hazardous to those who are still healthy. PLEASE HELP US!

I am a "canary in the mine," sensiitized to such minute quantities of organic pollutants that I need to fear being seated next to someone wearing perfume at a performance, in church, or - worst of all - in an airplane. A simple trip to the supermarket requires plotting a path to avoid the soaps & detergent aisle, the air-freshener and household clearner aisle, the fragranced facial tissues, and the shampoos and scented cosmetics. As an asthmatic, I need to hold my breath to pass through the cloud of second-hand smoke generated by smokers outside the entrances to their workplaces. How long ago was it that men's fragrance lines were introduced, because the women's market was not growing fast enough? Does "growing the economy" mean that we need an endless variety of "new and improved" products, many of which are fragranced - even trash bags!

Our lives and our suffering are worth nothing, if the awareness of this condition and the dangers of chemicals are not shared. Hidden illnesses are the hardest to bear since there is little support. To date, noone in my family or extended family has signed this petition. How much does my life matter?

I THINK THAT THERE IS A PERSEPTION PROBLEM WITH THE TERM SENSITIVITY, ESPECIALY WHEN THIS ILLNESS IS GENDER ORIENTED TWARDS WOMEN, ON A PER CAPITA STATISTIC. I THINK WE NEED A BETTER NAME THAT, POTRAYS THIS AS THE CHAOTIC RAPTOR THAT IT IS. I BET YOU THREE FOURTHS OF THE MALE POPULATION WOULD ASSOCIATE IT WITH HORMONAL CHANGES OF P.M.S. NOT M.C.S.

I have MCS and I have to wear a respirator/gas mask just to go to work, attend college and eat in restaurants. I developed it 3 years ago due to pesticides and perfume. I am 25 years old, and now severely disabled. I interview the chemically sensitive for my Master's thesis research and have devoted my life to helping those with MCS. I know that this illness can kill me due to an increased likelihood that I will develop cancer at my young age. We need fresh, clean air inside our public spaces. American citizens have the right to not risk their lives by unknowningly breathing in the toxic, perfumed, chemical laden air in government buildings and private homes. Please just declare May our National MCS month. It will help us get a little closer to a nation that supports the chemically injured with compassion and dignity that every human being deserves. I have spent $40,000 in 3 years on this. I'm in college and poor, and barely able to work or read when exposed to tiny, tiny amounts of chemicals.

I was strong and energetic until at the age of 38 when I polyurethaned my livingroom floor. I used lots of ventilation but when the final coat was being applied I found myself unable to withstand the slightest smell of the polyurethane without getting a headache from hell, pounding heart, taste in mouth like Raid, and severe weakness. I am now 52 years old. For the past 14 years I have experienced the same symptons with perfume ( at levels that others can barely percieve) gas, oil and just about anything else such as soap, shampoo etc. I can be flat on my back anywhere from hours to weeks, depending on the exposure. Please support legislation to investigate before everyone becomes poinsoned !
2506. Paul Maurer
Awareness can instantly RELIEVE suffering, PREVENT more irreversible illness, and SAVE money (billions!). Wins all around! The alternative?: wait for lawsuits to force changes while millions more see their lives and families destroyed. The conservative estimate of 2% "totally disabled" alone equals 6 million lives ruined - a "chemical holocaust" at our own hand. Make the obviously correct choice - recognize the problem. We can prevent continued carnage RIGHT NOW. Wake up!

I have worked in the New York City Fire Department as an Emergency Medical Technician for eight years and became highly allergic to fragrances, fabric softeners, cleaning agents, and diesel exhaust. I also developed reactive airway disease. I am unable to be in the proximity of fragranced persons. I can not work in an office because people wear fragrances. I can not walk down the street or take public transportation without high risk of becoming short of breath or allergic. This has had a severe and negative ecconomic and social impact on my self, and on my family.

My life and health have not been the same since a high level exposure to pesticides and radiation from a "toxic" work place. I am unable to work full time and suffer a great deal but there seems to be no recourse or ways to help. My medical expenses have been extreemly high and that is without help as well. I hope that you will find the time to take a look at what is happening to the citizens of the US due to some of these causes, I sincerely hope that EPA takes these claims as real and life threatening.

Perfumes, fumes, bleach, gasoline, fabric softeners, secondhand smoke, etc, make me very sick. I have MCS & know of no cure. It severely reduces quality of life.

I was a teacher with 24 years service before I became too ill to work due to the "chemical soup" from fragranced clothes, deodorants, lotions, hair care products, cleaning products, etc. molds , inks on papers, books, outgassing from computers and copy machines.This illness has caused much isolation and prevents me from doing the things I once did. Entering buildings, attending social activities, reading books and newspapers, and doing many of the things most people take for granted (as I once did) are difficult and sometimes impossible for me without suffering physical, mental and emotional pain.
