-
- Clinical Ecologists (of which there are not many) deal with sensitivities
- to chemical and biological agents in a somewhat unconventional manner
- (i.e., their methods are not held in high esteem by "conventional"
- allergists).
-
- Little research has been done, from what I can tell due to the fact that
- they are not offcially recogized by the Medical Establishment (i.e.,
- the AMA).
-
- I know several dozen people (including my wife) with severe chemical
- sensitivities known as Environmental Illness or MCS (Multiple Chemical
- Sensitivity Syndrome) who are seeing Clinical Ecologists. There is,
- however, quite a range in the degree of help these patients have received
- for their symptoms.
-
- Clinical Ecologists (the ones I am familiar with) tend to be M.D.'s who
- have gone off the beaten trail to help their patients when conventional
- allergy treatments have simply failed.
-
- If you have sensitivities to a range of substances, or suspect you do,
- a Clinical Ecologist is a wise option, in my opinion.
