I just watched the movie "Safe" that I discussed two weeks ago in it's entirety as my VHS copy arrived yesterday. This movie about Chemical Sensitivities shows the nightmare we go through with the medical profession and all of those around us. It also shows the devastating health, financial and relationship losses we sustain at a time when we are most vulnerable. The only negative about the movie is the repeated "blame the victim" mentality with such statements like "what did you do to yourself to make yourself sick?". I will repeat here most emphatically that it is very clear that chemical sensitivity is caused by gut dysbiosis. In other words the gut flora has been destroyed by certain prescription drugs such as antibiotics, vaccines, synthetic hormones and/or cortisteroids. It is called an iatrogenically caused disability. This makes us hypersensitive to the tens of thousands of man-made chemicals now in our environment.

Replacing the gut flora with a VIABLE probiotic course must be the first step in healing. Many try to jump over this step and try to get rid of the symptoms, viral load, candida, parasites etc. without addressing this extremely important step. It is explained there in my hypothesis on my webpage: http://members.tripod.com/immune_disorders/index.html
