My Journey Back to Health: Living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities Paperback – May 30, 2015

Oh could I ever relate to Annnette's life account. Although I had a different trigger that set off my battle with MCS, my improvement has been similar to her. Her tips are worthy to try, many of them I had/have been using; going to look into molybdenum, which this is the 1st time I have seem this recommended.So I don't think one ever totally is cured from this, but to learn to lessen symptoms and go on living a kind of normal life is what it is all about. Annnette's approach is doable for the every -day person. Truly recommend this book to anyone with MCS or who wants to know what this affliction is like.

Suffering can take many forms, so one has to be very open-minded when reading this story. The illness is extreme and, thankfully, rare, but it is real. This book would appeal to anyone fighting any sort of rare physical condition which needs special therapy and attention. It is an inspiring contribution to an area of health much overlooked by main-stream medicine

It didn’t help as much as I hoped.

Excellent read about MCS

Not enough information about MCS to really help.

good personal account of recovering from MCS, a rare condition which i also have

Very informative.

I am thankfully not a sufferer of MCS myself, though I do have a 'hidden' illness - Fibromyalgia, so I could relate to the blank looks and misunderstandings that author Annette Falconett goes through when trying to explain her rare illness. In my group we have a few people who suffer from this condition (as well as FM), so when I noticed the subtitle of the book and the great price, I saw it as an opportunity to improve my very basic knowledge... and improve it it has.I had no idea about outgassing, biotics or eidetic therapy. At first I wondered if I could put my own prejudices aside as the author talked about her positive view that vegetarianism was a key to her getting well, but when she did an about turn later in the book and told how she became convinced that her body needed the minerals and protein in meat I was impressed at her honesty at putting everything down that she did in her considerable efforts to get well. Not that I don't consider vegetarian food wholesome or support the right of vegetarians to follow that lifestyle!Chapter 9, written by the author's daughter was a welcome addition, as I did wonder how her family felt about all the things they had to do to help keep mum well, and I congratulate her on her positive outlook, along with that of her dad who has to shower if he has been sitting next to someone wearing perfume, so strong is Annette's reaction to the lingering odour. If you are unfortunate to be a sufferer or live with a sufferer or just like me, know a sufferer - then this is an engrossing and worthwhile read.

This contains very little in terms of concrete steps to recovery. What is suggested is questionable. Healing MCS with essential oils and visualisation? Save your money.
