Re: Re:The Medical Perspective on Environmental Sensitivities

I wonder what the clinics cited in the Canadian document have to offer?

Clinics researching and treating environmental sensitivities

In the mid 1980s, the government of Ontario appointed an Ad Hoc Committee on

Environmental Hypersensitivity Disorders, chaired by Judge Thomson

( " Thomson Committee " )._60_

(http://www.chrc-ccdp.ca/research_program_recherche/esensitivities_hypersensibil\

itee/page14-en.asp)

The 1985 report produced by the Committee found that environmental

(hyper)sensitivity was a significant problem requiring further research, and

that

patients were not having their needs met within the health care system. The

Thomson Committee’s recommendations and subsequent progress are summarized in

Appendix D. Following the Committee’s recommendations, the Ontario Ministry

of

Health funded the Environmental Hypersensitivity Research Unit at the

University of Toronto in 1994, and opened the Environmental Health Clinic at

Women’s

College Hospital in 1996.

After a six-year pilot project the Nova Scotia was established at a permanent

site in 1997. This facility is associated with Dalhousie University and

includes Canada’s only environmental control unit for treatment and

research.

FYI, this is a link for another great doc regarding our illnesses from

indoor mold exposure. It's also Canadian, 2003. I can't wait to see the new

movie, Sicko.
