August 28th, 2010Dinner Meeting: Sept 23, Delafield, WI
August 28th, 2010Topic: “The Science of Sensitivities”
Multiple Chemical Sensitivities – fact or fiction? For more than two decades, the diagnosis of MCS has been hotly debated by researching scientists, physicians, and IH/IAQ practitioners. This presentation explores studies that support and deny the existence of MCS and explains hypotheses on mechanisms for both purported genuine and psychosomatic manifestations of chemical sensitivities.
Speaker: Cassidy Kuchenbecker. Cassidy is a microbiologist with Environmental Initiatives. Cassidy recently completed a Master’s thesis exploring the effects of damp buildings on the immunological and neurological systems. Part of this thesis required extensive studies regarding chemical sensitivities and the evidence supporting and denying the existence of MCS.

UPDATE: Access Interruption to Patty’s IH & Tox Online
August 19th, 20108/30/2010: Last Friday or Saturday (8/27 or 8/28) I received notice from Wiley that they no longer allow “referring URL” access to Patty’s, which is what our access method has been to-date. I have received a form that I must complete and return to restore access & I plan to do that on 8/31 – but at present, I am not certain about the specifics of the new access method. More info when it becomes known. In any case, this is progress & a positive step in the right direction. — E.S. Read the rest of this entry »
