New episode! Recognition, access, and equality for people with MCS.
|
Hi everyone, This summer, I donned my MCS mask and flew to Europe. My goal: to bring you a series of critical conversations with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) advocates, lawyers, clinicians, researchers, and people with lived experience with the illness. Over the coming weeks, you'll hear important and fascinating perspectives and insights on MCS from Spain, Italy, and France. As you know, travelling with MCS is not easy. The trip involved many prior conversations with hosts about safe, natural, and unscented cleaning products. I brought my own bedding, tent (in case it was necessary), and thing mostly went smoothly. The journey was extremely fulfilling and fascinating. I'm grateful to everyone who listens and watches the podcast. Thanks for being part of this growing community, and please share your thoughts. π§ New episode: Sept 8, 2026 Beyond Medical Recognition β MCS, Disability, & Human Rightsβ Can people with MCS fight discrimination even without full medical recognition? I'm excited to share this episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast with you. You''ll hear me in conversation with human-rights lawyer Paloma Torres LΓ³pez, co-founder of MEDUSA Human Rights in Madrid, Spain. Paloma shares important perspectives about her legal team's innovative approach to rights for people with MCS baed in international law. Key themes:
Paloma explains how environmental barriers can prevent people with MCS from participating equally in society β and why disability and human-rights law may offer another path toward recognition, access, and equality. π§ Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: πΊ Watch and subscribe on YouTube.

Newsletter #11Oct 11, 2026 Hi everyone, I always appreciate the opportunity to connect with others living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). Recently, I spoke with someone whose experience stayed with me. Someone close to them is skeptical about MCS and doubts they have the illness. They know they do.
