Support for Chemically Sensitive, MCS in Maryland, D.C. and VA

Multi-focus Presentation

This presentation which should be of interest to both new and longtime chemical sensitivities patients.

The meeting will open (promptly at 2:00) with a showing of the 28 minute video "Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: A Short Introduction." We have 35 copies of this DVD video to be handed out to those attending the meeting. (It is something that can be given to family and friends to help them understand Chemical Sensitivities).

Also, at the beginning of the meeting, we may have available a device which specially treats water that can then be used to clean and sanitize, you can bring a bottle and if the device is returned on time, get some of this water. Warren Black will then talk about the theories of the physiological mechanisms of Chemical Sensitivity and, time permitting, studies on the prevalence of Chemical Sensitivities in the population. Warren is a member of the CSDA Board of Directors, a retired federal biologist/biological scientist & environmental protection specialist, and runs the yahoo group “Chemical Sensitivity Discussion Forum of Metro Washington DC.”

There will be a brief “Chemical Sensitivities 101” for those new to the condition, to be followed by an open general question and answer section where Warren and Dr. Larry Plumlee, MD (our CSDA President) will entertain questions.

The meeting will wrap up with Debbie Roy (our CSDA Vice-President) talking about recent CSDA administrative and membership changes and CSDA’s plans for telephone conference calls. To participate in future CSDA telephone conferences you can register at the May meeting, so please come and find out about this new program and how it will work. Debbie will entertain questions/comments about membership and the telephone conference calls. We are also working to develop a telephone conference for registration.
