Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: Julia’s Recovery Success Story & Deep Dive into MCS Diet Part 1
Julia shares her Multiple Chemical Sensitivities Recovery story (MCS recovery story) in this wonderful interview. In part 1 here, we explore how her illness came on in childhood and how she struggled with doctors and the label of having a psychosomatic illness.
Then, her MCS suddenly went into remission following a change in environment (makes sense given that MCS is often referred to as environmental illness) But 10 years later she was back in the throes of chronic illness and her multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) had flared worse than ever.
We explore what may have led to all these issues, the impact on her emotional state and mental health and the shocking adversity she faced during her journey with multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) and the story of how she found a turning point for her Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) recovery.
