    I'm sorry you are feeling bad, there may be household items you want to take a look at as well as farm products...the body can only process so many foreign chemicals thru the liver per day, (known as toxic body load), once you go beyond that exposure, your body can't get rid of the chemicals and they start to affect how you feel. So look around your environment for non-natural items, especially ones that give you a reaction and get rid of them! Check farms chemicals being used in the fields.

    I love Allison Johnson! Everyone needs to watch her videos & documentary. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity/Environmental Illness/Sick Building Syndrome is a REAL ILLNESS, which is related to and the causation of AUTISM!

    Remember to vote up this YouTube comment in 5-10 years when the number of people who have FINALLY found this video due to developing Multiple Chemical Sensitivity see this! Its only going to get worse before it gets better!

    Just an FYI the smell of natural manure spread on the farm is Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S). Only so much H2S can be processed by the body and there are exposure limits. H2S can cause chemical sensitivities or be aggravating a sensitivity. This condition should really be called chemical AIDS because the reaction experienced are grounded in compromising of the immune system after a triggering exposure. Subsequent exposures result in overboard immune response.
