Dr. Risk’s Thoughts
I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. At the height of my illness with Lyme Disease, I was able to walk outside for an hour, but only lasted 10 minutes in a mall (then losing the rest of my day to extreme fatigue). It wasn’t obvious at the time, but I was reacted to the chemicals, and off gassing in the mall, and in the office I worked in. When tackling any chronic illness, Lyme or otherwise, it’s important to reduce the burden on our bodies so that we can heal. This includes removing extra toxins and chemicals that can be adding to our symptoms and making our illness worse.
