Why do American Doctors Not Understand MCS?

WHY IS THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION MISSING THE DIAGNOSIS OF MULTIPLE CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY?

From my blog http://www.mentalhealthbooks.net

_Imagine you were seated comfortably among friends at a restaurant, until a waiter came up to your table to ostensibly make you all more at ease, and cleaned your table. You suddenly start choking due to the cleaner your server used, and you are forced to run out of the restaurant, ruining your fun evening. Worse still, this kind of situation happens more often than not. Maybe you have MCS._

WHAT IS MCS?http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Natural-Mental-Health-Schizophrenia-ebook/dp/B00PMZODLK/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8

MULTIPLE CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY (MCS) is a chronic medical condition and syndrome characterized by symptoms that the affected person attributes to low-level chemical exposures to commonly used chemicals. Commonly attributed substances include scented products, pesticides, plastics, synthetic fabrics, smoke, petroleum products, and paint fumes.

Apparently, MCS is partly a disorder of the limbic region of the brain, and can be treated by http://www.mentalhealthbooks.net/2015/12/mcs-cure/. In the future it may be treated with http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20827810 other than ECT which only works a few days after it is given.

THE EVIDENCE

It turns out that Australia, Germany (2000), Austria (2001), Japan (2009), Switzerland (2010), Denmark (2012), Spain and Canada (2014) all recognize Multiple Chemical Sensitivity as a medical condition. There are http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=chemical+sensitivity+mcs pertaining to “mcs chemical sensitivity” on MEDLINE. It makes one wonder why the most powerful association of doctors in the world does not endorse MCS as a disorder. It would make things a whole lot easier for those with MCS in America, if the AMA would change their position, and it would surely save lives. Even the venerable Financial Times (UK) gives it more attention than the AMA: http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/7dc239c8-a900-11e5-9700-2b669a5aeb83.html. Let’s hope the AMA changes its tune before more people die unnecessarily.
