Description
Chemical Sensitivity is the first major scientific book on chemical sensitivity, an increasingly important worldwide health problem. The book features results from studies of more than 20,000 environmentally sensitive patients at the Environmental Health Center (EHC) in Dallas. Results from the studies at EHC are supplemented by information accumulated from the treatment and study of an estimated 100,000 patients by other environmentally oriented physicians and scientists around the world. The book emphasizes the effects of environmental pollutants on known mechanisms of immune and nonimmune detoxification systems and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between endocrine, immunological, and neurological systems and their nutrient fuels. Volume 3, Clinical Manifestations of Pollutant Overload, considers the effects of pollutant exposure on the different anatomical systems that may be affected by pollutant exposure. This book includes chapters on the ENT/Upper Respiratory System; the Lower Respiratory System, Chest Wall, and Breast; the Cardiovascular System; the Gastrointestinal System; the Genitourinary System; the Musculoskeletal System; the Endocrine System; Skin; the Nervous System; and the Ophthalmological System. It gives special consideration to issues regarding children and their unique susceptibility to chemical/pollutant exposures. Book jacket.
