RVs for People with MCS – Are There Any Chemically-Safe RVs?

Wait – what’s MCS?

Glad you asked, Reader. It’s crazy how you ask a question I’m about to answer! You might not have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity). You may not even know anyone with MCS.

But I invite you to walk through this illness with me. Even if you don’t have MCS or a compromised immune system, you’ll learn the drastic effects that wayward chemicals can wreak on your body. I want to establish some common ground, to build some understanding. Chemical safety and air quality belong to each of us. Let MCS be a warning.

  1. Mindful

    To educate further on MCS/EI, sure there are some where it is mental ir psychologically based, but actually the vast majority it is physiological (Various root causes), for example genetic testing of a mutation with mtfr, especially those with double mutation, are not able to detoxify from these chemicals the way a healthy individual can, and therefore will be ill with low levels of toxic chemicals. Many with this illness not only have difficulty with detoxification (typically on multiple levels, including non-alcholic fatty liver disease, sluggish liver, and other impairments with their detox system), but also frequently do not produce all the enzymes necessary to breakdown food (essential to absorb nutrients, etc., which in turn support the body to be able to detox- (ie produce glutathione, Magnesium, etc.), this also includes enzymes that help breakdown myotoxins. and other toxins, incomjimctikn with the body not properly filtering them out. Asthma and allergies are different from mcs/ei, but also can make one needing a natural non-toxic environment. Many after cancer treatments become chemically sensitive. Some with lyme disease as well. There are also those with mast cell activation and many other conditions that result in the need for a non-toxic cleaner environment, which we should be residing in anyways. Toxins and pollution, might not adversely effect a healthy individual the same, but over time, can be a contributing factor to all sort sof health conditions later in life. Those with good genetics, a good detox system are going to tolerate our modern world much better because your body can detoxify. So sure, are there some where it is psychological, yes and that doesn’t help the credibility with the population who suffers similarly with the same limitations where it is a physiological root cause, or mutated genes. Many with mcs, are also found to be low in many key minerals and vitamins, not necessarily because they are not consuming enough, but their bodies are not able to absorb them. Many also have both food allergies and intolerances (different parts of the immune system IgE IgG, etc which can be caused by lack of enzymes, leaky gut, and other root reasons). These are just a few basics. This article just sounds quite a bit ignorant so I thought I’d write. The first group of those with mcs I came across where mentally.stable, no anxiety, Etc. When I started to create groups on line I began to encounter the other type, and at times contradictions, and other mental health issues which seams to point more towards psychological root cause vs psychological. Although, sometimes those where it is a physiological root cause, end up with psychological issues due to the toll of the illness (ie lack of sleep, not having basic needs met, being ill in their environment without remedy or adequate medical care to treat, isolation, nutrient deprived, etc. all over which in turn can make someone end up with higher levels of sensitivity, depression, anxiety, mood changes, instability, etc).
