  • Feeling Affirmed

    Aaron. Thank you so much for your articulate understanding of MCS. I have suffered for most of my adult life with many chemical sensitivities. Many of which I tried to ignore or hide from others. Feeling as if I was defective. I can’t express how grateful I am to have found your podcast!

  • A much needed podcast - vital information.

    We are often unwittingly exposed to many toxins over which we have no control. The effect is cumulative. Health outcomes are adversely affected on a massive scale but industry, policy makers and government are not listening, never mind taking action.

    This podcast shares vital information to help influence much needed change and to educate and empower listeners to take action to try to protect themselves and reduce exposure.

  • Won't find this info anywhere else

    The MCS podcast not only has scientific information from doctors and researchers, but first hand experiences from real people suffering with MCS, without any profit incentives or affiliations. This information is invaluble and you won't find it anywhere else on the internet. Everyone suffering with MCS should be listening to this to avoid dangerous exposures in their own household and improve their health as much as possible. Aaron is poised, intelligent, and friendly and an excellent host.
