Healings of chemical sensitivity (MCS)
Cura de sensibilidade química múltipla (SQM)
Adeline Weiss, Dietzenbach (Alemanha)
Quando, em 1975, eu estava planejando nossa nova casa com muita alegria, ainda não sabia que um destino desastroso nos aguardava. Como engenheira técnica de construção, queria colocar em prática meus conhecimentos, e fui ao trabalho. Madeira natural era importante para mim, e assim foram usados cerca de 150 m2 de madeira na obra. Uma norma de construção, DIN 68800, dizia que toda peça de madeira deveria ser protegida com um produto de conservação, e eu jamais pensaria em duvidar daquilo que aprendi. Nem suspeitava que as substâncias ativas, que deveriam matar e afastar insetos e fungos, poderiam também significar a nossa morte. PCP, Lindan e os dióxidos ligados a eles são tóxicos, ou seja, exalam vapores por décadas, que são absorvidos por pessoas, animais, plantas e todos objetos porosos, que são passados adiante. Isso pode causar graves danos à saúde e contaminação dos cômodos.
Healing from multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS)
I. Lottes (68), Bayreuth (Germany)
About 20 years ago, while painting the walls of our living room, I noticed a contraction of my bronchial tubes which caused me considerable shortness of breath. The reaction was so severe that I had to immediately stop painting and hire a painter to do it. I wasn’t able to enter the room while the painting was going on because the problems would immediately begin again. In the ensuing weeks and months these problems would also arise on other occasions too, such as in shoe stores. The shoe purchase always had to be carried out rapidly, otherwise I would have to leave the store without buying the shoes. If I did buy some, I would always have to set them out in the fresh air for a few days before I could wear them. Later I bought shoes from a mail order firm and avoided the leather goods departments of department stores. If I needed a purse or handbag, the problems - mainly shortness of breath, but also burning of the eyes and sometimes nosebleed and dizziness - would immediately begin after touching and opening these objects.
