Lisa I’m so grateful for you checking out my Substack. I’ve been on a 20+ year long road of mystery illness. I’m working on an article so that I can share my journey with healing. I have so much compassion for your story and know how difficult it can be living with a chemical sensitivity. One of our favorite purchases in our home is our iQ air purifier. One of the components of my healing was learning the truth that my body was not attacking itself. Medical research and science is spending billions of dollars on their theory that our genes are to blame. With expensive therapies, treatments and more it is a great way for them to continue profiting off the chronically ill. I refuse to believe our genes are to blame (after all autoimmune is just a theory they’ve never found proof that the body is attacking itself). The Industrial Revolution brought a new class of chemicals that we are all exposed now to daily. Our liver was never made to filter out pesticides like DDT and toxic heavy metals that are now found in our air, water and land. We’re up against so much in this world today. Medical research and science is refusing to put money into finding the root cause of these illnesses. Maybe it is because they would then have to admit they are to blame for the epidemic of chronic illness.

What a fabulous informative post. Thankfully I am not allergic to anything other than a couple of medications, skin is my main issue, dry and excema prone, and definitely nothing scented and no soaps. The trouble you have gone to through your life to help yourself health wise is a credit to you, and now you have passed on that information to others.
