The EI Wellspring:
Practical Information for Coping with Chemical and Electrical Hypersensitivities
This website’s primary purpose is to provide practical information for people with severe multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) and electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS/ES). MCS and EHS are closely related illnesses, which together are referred to as Environmental Illness (EI).
This is not a commercial site. Vendors and products are mentioned in some articles, but there are no paid product endorsements. Recommendations are based on the experiences of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this site or its management.
The information presented reflects the experience and opinions of individuals who wish to help others. Naturally, what works for one person may not work for another. The reader should evaluate the suggestions in the context of his or her own situation, and apply good judgment and common sense before following suggestions presented.
Many people with severe EHS/ES are unable to use a
computer and the Internet, yet unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a
good alternative way to make the information available inexpensively. To
help those who can't use a computer, the site and its
articles were designed so that a helper can print out the menus and
articles for the EHS sufferer to read and select from. Most documents
are available in Acrobat format (PDF)
, which
should be universally printable.
The issues facing people with EHS are sometimes more complex than the issues that pertain purely to MCS. Consequently, many of the subjects pertaining to EHS are more technical in nature than the other articles are. Everyday language is encouraged in the articles, but some simply do require a level of practical experience to be useful.
Due to staffing and funding limitations, we are unable to offer paper copies through the mail. We are also unable to answer questions at this time, but we welcome comments and suggestions for future articles. Please submit them to the site's webmaster, webmaster@EIwellspring.org.
