Testimonials about Environmental Illness

One of the big problems having an environmental illness, is that the world often won't take it seriously. Workplaces won't do the necessary accommodations, so sick people often have to quit working. Health insurance companies won't pay for the expensive treatments. Many doctors won't think it's more than just an allergy, and often don't even know there is more. And people just think you are weird that you can't be around them, when they smoke or wear perfume.

This page contains links to personal testimonials, from real live people, that this is indeed a true and serious disease. Yes, it is only anecdotal evidence, and not medical proof, but medical proof is hard to come by. Medical proof first take researchers to get interested, and then to get funding, the people who do practice this type of medicine, do not have the time and resources to do the big scale research, they are busy taking care of the many patients. And yes, there are several smaller scientific studies already, involving a hundred or so patients each.
