Question from SallyS

Debra,

I have MCS and am facing a lot of medical procedures, frankly part of the dread comes from the exposure to all the toxins in the medical arena.

From the medications to all the plastic and toxic chemicals used to clean such, all the way to the beds and the food. Last year I was hospitalized and the worst thing was the smell, the humming of machinery, and the awful things that I cam in contact with such as plastic, vinyl bed, and so on. The more doctors I see the worse it gets, seeming to accumulate in my system and throwing things off – it takes some time to recuperate from each occurrence and feels like going backwards.

Have you any suggestions as to how I can better cope with such? I truly appreciate any input.

Sally

Debra’s Answer

First, I know there are some healthcare organizations who are becoming less toxic.

Kaiser Permanente is one.

There’s an organization called Health Care Without Harm that is working internationally to “transform the health sector worldwide, promoting environmental health and justice.”

You might contact them to find out which hospitals in your area might be less toxic.

Readers any suggestions from your own experience with a hospital stay?
