Treatments for MCS
Donation protected
My name is Cristina Fedel. I'm raising money for myself and my friend, Serena. We are Italians, so please forgive my bad English. We have a terrible disease, a disease that is making us dying slowly: MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity).
It is a rare disease. It causes severe pain and intoxication everytime we are in contact with chemical substances: perfumes, cosmetics, detergents, smog, ink, solvents, etc... The more we are exposed to these substances, the more the pain increases. We accumulate more toxins in our body and the disease become more severe. Recovering from the exposition is every time longer e more difficult: often the pain is so terrible that we must stay in bed for days after a brief exposition. Slowly, day after day, we have lost everything: our jobs, our friends, our social life. People who want to see us must not wear perfumed clothes (laundry detergents are also perfumes), and must not have used shampoo or soap or perfumed cosmetics. We can't get in a car without feel pain, so we depend on our parents for everything; simple shopping (from grocery to clothing) is a problem for us, because we can't enter in shops: there are too much perfumes and chemical substances, due to the other customers, the location and the products on display. For the same reasons, we can't go to the hospital, if something happen to us.
We are now closed in our homes; Serena has also EHS (Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity), a disease which often comes with MCS: she cannot use electromagnetic devices (PC, cell phones, TV, wifi, radio, oven, electric lights etc.) or stay near them, so she lives in the dark, sometimes illuminating his home with candles.
There is no treatment for these diseases in Italy: there are clinics abroad (one in Dallas, Texas), but they are really expensive, and in many cases the treatments must be repeated to be successful. A single treatment costs more than 100.000 dollars, and this is why we are asking for your help.
Without the treatments, the toxins continue to accumulate in our body, because, even if we stay at home, there is no way to avoid chemical substances. Our life is a slow, painful death.
Your help is our last hope. Our life is in your hands.
We will be really grateful for every help you can give us.
