Hi everyone,

The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast has now reached 60,000 downloads.

Thank you for listening, watching, sharing episodes, supporting the podcast, and recommending it to others.

This growing community exists because of you.

Since launching the podcast, the goals have remained the same: to amplify the voices of people living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), share credible research and informed perspectives, and help improve understanding and recognition of an illness that is still too often misunderstood, dismissed, or missed altogether.

The podcast continues to bring together people with lived experience, researchers, clinicians, advocates, authors, legal scholars, and others working to create greater awareness and meaningful change.

Thank you for helping us reach 60,000 downloads — and for being part of what comes next.

I'm also reaching out with information about our newest episode.

Please check it out and share your thoughts.

MCS and Chemical Intolerance: Measuring What Medicine Often Misses

→ How can better measurement of MCS and chemical intolerance help reduce misunderstanding, missed cases, and misdiagnosis?

In this episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast, I speak with Raymond F. Palmer, PhD, a biostatistician and research professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio who has studied chemical intolerance for more than a decade.

The conversation explores:

• Why better recognition may help address misunderstanding and misdiagnosis
• How the QEESI — Quick Environmental Exposure and Sensitivity Inventory — can help identify and measure MCS and chemical intolerance
• The TILT model — Toxicant-Induced Loss of Tolerance — and the potential role of environmental exposures
• Research into genetics, mast-cell activation, and potential biomarkers
• Why listening to patients and improving recognition matter

It’s a conversation about how researchers are working to better measure and understand MCS and chemical intolerance — and why doing so could help change how people with the illness are recognized and treated.
