I included a section at the back of the book providing guidance on how to avoid many common toxic chemicals in everyday life, and I hope that if you do read the book, this section is helpful to you! It was written to give practical advice for the average concerned person. (Step 1: stop using fragranced laundry products!) If your condition is more serious and you want more in the way of reference material, the website chemicalsensitivityfoundation.org should be of help. If you want to receive regular newsletters and/or a great magazine a few times a year, I really like mcs-aware.org. If you need a doctor in environmental health, you should be able to find one at aaemonline.org. For a deeply poetic and moving description of how terrible this illness can be, ameliahill.com is a beautiful website and she also has some great reference material. I also recommend bcpp.org and womensvoices.org. I hope this helps!(less)
