MCS and Chemical Intolerance — Measuring What Medicine Often Misses - Raymond Palmer, PhD

How can better measurement of MCS and chemical intolerance help reduce misunderstanding, missed cases, and misdiagnosis?

In this episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast, Aaron Goodman speaks with Raymond F. Palmer, PhD, a biostatistician and research professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio who has studied chemical intolerance for more than a decade.

You'll hear:

• Why better recognition may help address misunderstanding and misdiagnosis
• How the QEESI can help identify and measure MCS and chemical intolerance
• The TILT model and the potential role of environmental exposures
• Research into genetics, mast-cell activation, and biomarkers
• Why listening to patients and improving recognition matter

A conversation about how researchers are working to better measure and understand MCS and chemical intolerance — and why doing so could help change how people with the illness are recognized and treated.
