Chemical Avoidance

To recover or to keep from getting worse, you have to avoid substances that provoke a neurological or immune response.

Dr. William Rea, MD, et al., states in Considerations for the Diagnosis of Chemical Sensitivity , "The cornerstone of treatment for chemical sensitivity is avoidance. This will decrease total body burden, allowing recovery of the overtaxed detoxification systems."

Immune or neurological response to chemicals likely plays a role in chronic fatigue syndrome. Most persons with chronic fatigue syndrome are also chemically sensitive to some degree.
