Scientific Studies: Diagnostic Markers for MCS

MCS
Researchers at the Department of Public Health Sciences at the University of Toronto set out to find diagnostic markers, also known as biomarkers, for multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). MCS has an estimated American prevalence of 15%. In the past, diagnostic makers have been elusive with no consistently abnormal tests that are shared by all subjects.
Physicians treating MCS often observe low mineral levels or changes in intra-erythrocytic minerals (IEMs) that may affect proper detoxification of xenobiotics (foreign chemical substances found in the body).
