    Hate Crimes

    Do the law enforcement officers, school administrators, workplace management teams, health care
    administrators, et al., around this country understand the nature of the hate crimes perpetrated
    against the already chemically injured? We are disabled by chemicals you may think of as
    benign, but believe me, that simply means you have a lot to learn. At least word is now getting out
    on the harmful effects of pesticides, but the ignorance that continues to be shown by the
    powers that be amazes me.

    I keep asking myself: If county health officials, members of the local police, doctors, and various
    management teams are still clueless about the effects of pesticides, acute and chronic, then how can
    I expect them to understand about poisoning someone by perfume? Nonetheless, I fully expect
    that they will use EHN's site to educate themselves about the toxins in pesticides and perfumes
    and then PROTECT those who have filed complaints against neighbors, colleagues, peers, and
    even members of management, who engage in hate crimes against the already chemically injured.

     

    Hate crimes against people who are paint-, perfume-, pesticide (HYDROCARBON)-poisoned can
    take the form of spraying pesticides on windy days so the chemicals spread, paint without
    warning, dump their paint clean-up on the property of the already injured, spray perfume
    around the work area of the individual, spray a fellow student in the face with perfume, spray
    pesticides or fragrances outside of doors, use fabric softeners at such a time as to adversely
    affect the health of the person the hate is directed against,... etc.

    Frankly, I've come to learn through my own experiences and those of others, that there is no limit
    to their imaginative means of further poisoning us. This has got to stop! And, it is up to the
    people with authority, to start believing the already chemically disabled people when we
    try to report such actions. Please do not dismiss us, further stultify us. We are not insane, but
    lack of concern and action by authority is maddening.

    To those in authority, I plead: Think of us as having a violent act committed against us. As
    with others under such circumstances, we become desperate, we may not be seen by you as fully
    rational at the moment. That would be a given for anyone suffering a traumatic event. But,
    it is more than just the emotional jolt that is normal to any other human being who has been hurt
    and intimidated by another, we have become poisoned by the chemicals that include
    NEUROTOXINS.

    Neurotoxins adversely affect the brain and the nervous systems. And knowing that, folks, is how
    I got myself through my years of harassment by a very few managers and colleagues -- it only
    takes one to pollute air and body. I told myself they were mentally affected by the very poisons
    they used and weren't in their "right" minds. Believe me, I had to remind myself of that daily
    and I didn't care whether that was a vialble excuse for their heinous actions, it kept me going
    in the workplace where I had to remain civil to them. Why not contact a lawyer, you might ask.
    I did. Several. A chemically disabled individual, it seems, is fair game. And from the request
    for help that I get, I don't see that changing. Yet.

    An Introduction to Chemical Hazards in the Workplace
    " ... What makes a chemical toxic?

    "The toxicity of a substance is its ability to cause harmful effects. These
    effects can strike a single cell, a group of cells, an organ system, or the
    entire body. A toxic effect may be visible damage, or a decrease in
    performance or function measureable only by a test. All chemicals
    can cause harm. When only a very large amount of the chemical can
    cause damage, the chemical is considered to be relatively non-toxic.
    When a small amount can be harmful, the chemical is considered toxic.

    "The toxicity of a substance depends on three factors: its chemical structure,
    the extent to which the substance is absorbed by the body, and the body's
    ability to detoxify the substance (change it into less toxic substances) and
    eliminate it from the body.

    "Are "toxic" and "hazardous" the same? "No. ..."

  • Heart

    By the bye, fragrance chemicals can cause a glich in the heart beat, heart palpitations
    and spikes or percipitous drops in blood preassure. I've known of several folks who were
    exposed to perfumes, had enough signs of stroking out that they underwent a battery of tests,
    only to be told that there was nothing wrong and so therefore, it must have been stress. It
    "stresses me out" no end that our medical experts do not even query the patient about exposures
    to modern synthetic scents, pesticides (which are also scented) and other high-emitting VOC
    consumer products. Our undereducated doctors are helping the pharmaceutical industry
    while harming us. No wonder rates of iatrogenic diseases and deaths are also soaring. -- barb

      particular case, I could sleep on their sheets and use their towels. My son even used their shampoo
      and that did not set me off. However, I always travel with my own shampoo and soap . . . even
      pillows and sheets, which has come in handy from time to time. Best wishes for safer, greener
      travel. And, remember, the Dept of the Interior states that if it is GREEN it MUST NOT

          Indoor air quality can be impacted by some chemicals used to clean, protect, maintain, and
          decorate the home and its furnishings, for personal care and grooming, and for hobbies.

          Products can release chemicals into the air during use, as the product dries or cures, or off
          gas as the products age.

          Examples of household products that could be an indoor air quality problem:
          paints cleaning products hobby products
          varnishes disinfectants cosmetics and personal care products
          waxes degreasers  
          strippers pesticides  
          caulking adhesives air fresheners

      • Indoor Air Pollution Fact Sheet - Household Products
        American Lung Association - ALA
        This page contains important information and it surely is worth reading. Unfortunately,
        the unsuspecting public is led to believe that the problems given are simply associated with
        "Aerosol spray products,... Chlorine bleach and Rug and upholstery cleaners." Again, you
        get information on adverse health effects of fragrances from the ALA by innuendo.

        This page conveniently ignores the fact that our modern petrochemically derived FRAGRANCES
        have been crafted to quickly volatilize, and to waft further and last longer on the ambient air.
        It matters not whether FRAGRANCES are used as colognes or perfume, or are found in an
        enormous variety of personal care products, or in our household and janitorial cleaning and
        maintenance products, fragrances can cause the health problems listed. A real hasardous
        household polluter is fabric softeners. Not only does its scent and other chemicals pollute the
        fabric in the laundry facility and the home or building housing that laundry area, but those
        chemicals pollute the outdoor air for blocks around while in use in the laundry. Then they pollute
        the air -- AND OUR BODIES -- when the laudered item is worn or used.

        FRAGRANCES are made to become one with the air we all must breathe, regardless of stage of
        development or heath. ONLY YOU can make a difference by purchasing safer, cleaner products. -- barb

        accepting applications. I would like to urge everyone to sign up for it

       EHN's limited attempt at ads

      EHN doesn't generally handle housing ads on its website as does Cyndi Norman and her
      Immune Web Classifeds -- http://www.immuneweb.org/classifieds/housing.html --
      but as housing is so tight in the SF Bay Area, I'll build ads from time to time if the folks
      request it of me. PLEASE remember to let me know when the rooms/apartments
      or houses have been rented.       And everyone, please know/remember that when
      I'm not working, or my computer is not working, EHN's site is not updated.
      This website is a one-pony show.


      PLEASE! If the space offered doesn't seem to fit your needs, please, please do not
      try to put extra demands on the individual renting or selling. There are some folks
      with MCS who will find the home an ideal setting, without added burdens to the
      one offering the space.

      IF you do accept the housing arrangement, then do everything in your power to be
      the perfect guest and follow "House Rules." (I invoked "House Rules" when
      raising my children and when serving as hostess to their friends. It worked well with
      the young folks, I hope HOUSE RULES will work with those who can offer space
      and for those living with MCS who must seek shelter on either a temporary or
      more permanent basis.) Thanks for your cooperation. Remember, the person offering
      the home or space may well be living with MCS, CFIDS, FM, GWS, . . . too. -- barb

          • Mendocino

            Dear Friends,
            We are still looking for housing.

            We must be out of our home by October 10 and we have not been able to find a home
            with even the basic "safer housing" needs. These basics include a country property
            where no herbicides or pesticides have been used in the home or on the property, no
            newer synthetic carpets, no fresh paint (this one has been the most difficult to find!), and
            partial wheelchair access (BDR, BA, Kitchen). Please see the attached flyer for information.

            As our deadline approaches we have increased our geographic parameters to include
            Gualala (Mendocino County, CA) to Ferndale (Humboldt County, CA), from the
            coast to 8 miles in.Ý

            We are willing to consider any "safer" housing including smaller spaces, or 2 separate
            spaces as interim housing while we continue to look. Short-term housing is another
            stop-gap measure. If we are able to only find housing for one, it is most important
            that we find safe housing for Naja. I can camp, or couch surf. Naja is physically unable to.

            Do you know of anyone with property/housing for sale who may be willing to rent
            it out for the winter? Often homes on the market during the Autumn and Winter sit
            unsold until the Spring. At least their home could be bringing in a rental income and
            providing much needed temporary shelter.

            Please continue to keep me and Naja in mind. We can be reached at
            707-937-2490 or friedaf@mcn.org

            After October 10, you can still contact me at my email address, or at

              P. O. Box 988,
              Mendocino CA 95460.

            We really appreciate your help, best wishes, and prayers.
            Thanks, Frieda

            EI SAFER HOUSE FOR SALE IN COASTAL NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. 3 BDR, 1-3/4 BA,
            Office, Kitchen/Dining Area, LR(cathedral ceilings, floor to ceiling windows with garden
            and forest views), Foyer/Mud Room, 1800 sq. ft. With a 1BDR, 1 BA, detached cabin.
            On 5 acres in Pygmy Forest. Large landscaped garden, and a fenced vegetable garden,
            with the remaining acreage Pygmy to transitional Redwood Forest. 1.5 miles from
            the ocean and the village of Mendocino.

            The main house is a Lindal Cedar home. It is approximately 14 years old. The kitchen,
            bathrooms, and foyer are linoleum. Allthe ceilings are knotty cedar. The bedrooms, living
            room, office, and hallway floors are organic wool carpeting, which is tacked down.
            The inside of the house down stairs, has wheelchair access to the kitchen, living room,
            dining room, and foyer, the back bedrooms and bathroom are tight through the
            doors, and are at difficult angles, the three stairs to the landing at the entry would need
            to be ramped. The cabinets contain some particle board and countertops are formica-
            like, both are original and seem mostly outgassed.

            There is a cast iron spiral staircase up to the master bedroom and bathroom, the
            remaining rooms are on the first floor. A very ice house in a beautiful setting. No
            herbicides, pesticides, freshpaints, or finishes have been used in the main house or on
            the property for at least 7 years, no scented or chemical cleaning products for the past
            4 years,
            the product history prior to that is unknown. The cabin is newer construction, with
            commercial carpeting, and newer linoleum. There is an open application for a cell tower
            to be built approximately 700 feet from the property, while there is local opposition
            to this application, recent developments have compromised Mendocino's wireless
            free status. Property is not on the market yet.

            Landlord is asking $750,000. Anyone seriously interested in buying this home should
            contact our buyer's agent for aÝ comparative market analysis of this property. Please

            only call or email if you are seriously interested. We are E.I.tenants, we'd like to see
            E.I. people in this home. We would be VERY pleased to stay in the home while the
            process of selling took place, and beyond if possible, otherwise we will be forced to
            move by October 10. Thanks. 707-937-2490 or friedaf@mcn.org.

  • HRP - Office for Human Research Protections
    " ... The first provision of the Code states that "the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential." Freely given consent to participation in research
    is thus the cornerstone of ethical experimentation involving human subjects. The Code
    goes on to provide the details implied by such a requirement: capacity to consent,
    freedom from coercion, and comprehension of the risks and benefits involved. Other
    provisions require the minimization of risk and harm, a favorable risk/benefit ratio,
    qualified investigators using appropriate research designs, and freedom for the subject to
    withdraw at any time. Similar recommendations were made by the World Medical
    Association in its Declaration of Helsinki: Recommendations Guiding Medical Doctors in
    Biomedical Research Involving Human Subjects, first adopted by the 18th World
    Medical Assembly in Helsinki, Finland, in 1964, and subsequently revised by the 29th
    World Medical Assembly, Tokyo, Japan, 1975, and by the 41st World Medical Assembly,
    Hong Kong, 1989. The Declaration of Helsinki further distinguishes therapeutic from
    nontherapeutic research. ... " [emphasis added]

    Under Government listings on EHN's site, but this topic is so important, I decided to
    cross-reference here, too. -- barb
    "In sum, we conclude that MCS and EI can constitute handicaps
    under the Act. Our conclusion is consistent with the weight of
    both federal and state judicial authority construing the Act and
    comparable legislation, the Act's legislative history, as well as
    the interpretation of other Federal agencies, such as the Social
    Security Administration and the Department of Education,
    construing legislation within their respective domains. The
    Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice has also
    informed us that it believes MCS and EI can be handicaps under
    the Act. In addition, HUD has consistently articulated this
    position, and FHEO agrees with our conclusion."

      This note is not as promising as I'd like, but that qualifier, DO NOT ALWAYS, gives me some hope.
      "... The principle that redirecting flow toward ischemic areas can help damaged tissue
      recover is well established in cardiology. However, in critical care generally, drugs and
      maneuvers that redirect flow to ischemic organs (e.g., brain and kidney) do not always
      improve recovery at the cellular level. For this reason, improved blood flow must be
      linked to other measures of cellular and organ recovery. ..."

      "... Over the next 10 years, with a vegetarian diet, and lifestyle change, I was able to
      forestall dialysis until the age of 45. I firmly believe, that had I known about HBOT
      (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy), I would not probably even need dialysis now and that the
      possibility of renal function recovery could have occurred at the onset of discovery of
      this current condition, that of kidney disease. For I know of individuals who, with the
      levels of creatinine (level of toxin in the body) that I have hadÝ (about 300), have
      experienced return of function in their kidneys. ... "

    Hypertension
    Too little or too much thyroid hormone can elevate blood pressure. Kidney disease can elevate
    blood pressure. And, overlooked by the western medical industry . . . petrochemical-derived
    FRAGRANCES. "Fragrance" or "Parfum" on the label means the product has been released to
    market without full substantiation of safety by an unregulated industry, unleashing unknown
    combinations of unknown chemicals upon the market without government supervision or
    regulation. (Unless you pay to have an analysis run, or visit EHN or FPIN sites, you'll not have a clue as to
    the toxic chemicals found in "fragrance."). -- barb
