MCS

MCS is short for Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. People with MCS react sensitively to the smallest amounts of everyday chemicals, often without laboratory values showing any deviations. This high sensitivity is often misunderstood or trivialized by the general public, although it means very real limitations for those affected. Anyone familiar with MCS also understands why conscious living spaces and pollutant-free products are becoming increasingly important.

MCS rethought: connection with CMD and poor posture

I am writing this article not as a doctor, not as an environmental health professional and not as an „expert“ in the traditional sense, but from direct experience. I have been dealing with chemical sensitivities myself for about five to six years - sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker, but clearly noticeable over longer periods of time.

Looking back, the whole thing started for me at a time that coincided with a dental procedure: after I had a tooth extracted, I gradually experienced reactions that I had never experienced before. Even then, I suspected that this was possibly not „just“ an environmental problem, but could also be related to the body itself, to stress regulation, perhaps even to the teeth, jaw or the entire system behind it.

Back in the 1980s, this was quite normal - you went to the dentist, got a silver seal and that was that. Nobody talked about heavy metals, mercury or detoxification. At least not in the dentist's surgery.

by
Dental cleaning - how often does it make sense?

Professional dental cleanings are now considered a standard recommendation - it is often suggested that they should be carried out every 6 months or even every 3 months. Those who can afford it (or have good supplementary dental insurance) are often praised. But how useful is it really? The answer, as so often, is: it depends.

MCS: When life forces you to move for the third time

Three forced removals due to MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity)

I am writing these lines from a vacation apartment in Pilsen, Czech Republic. It's a simple, clearly structured place. Kitchen, WLAN, a good table to work at. Everything I need - no more, no less. I'm not here because I'm on vacation. I'm also not here to follow a whim or start a new chapter. I'm here because I had to.
