Abstract
Patients with chemical sensitivity were treated in heat depuration physical therapy units and housed in living facilities, both of which were specially constructed so they were less chemically polluted. Rotary diets of less chemically contaminated water and food were consumed. Two hundred and ten chemically sensitive patients, 156 females and 54 males, aged 13 to 66 years, were placed on the programme. Eighty-six per cent of these improved their symptom scores. Sixty-two per cent, or 48 of 78 patients, had abnormal balance studies. Fifty-seven per cent, or 12 of 21, remeasured after treatment had improved. Fifty per cent or 106 of 210 patients, had autonomic nervous system disorders as measured by the Iriscorder, and 31% had improved after treatment. Sixty-three per cent decreased their levels of toxic chemicals. These results clearly show that heat depuration physical therapy appears to be efficacious in many patients with chemical sensitivity.
