HERE IS A LINK TO MY BLOG POST THAT I SAID IT ALL IN ONCE BEFORE I LIST EVERYTHING WE USED—- I HOPE THE LINK WORKS– IF NOT IS IT TITLED “WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH THE BRUCE FAMILY ” —
What is Multiple Chemical Sensitivity?
Imagine not being able to leave your home because your neighbors laundry softer makes you have migraines, vomiting, tachycardia and muscle weakness just to name a few symptoms. Imagine not being able to hug or be near people with perfume because your lungs react so severely that you have to be hospitalized and treated for weeks or months on end.
Just think for a moment that you are in need of urgent medical/dental attention but you are unable to visit a doctors office because they use air fresheners in patient rooms, hallways and waiting areas. This is the misery that is faced each and every day by MSC sufferers. This is the outward expression of MCS.
Will you be visiting someone with MCS? Please click here for helpful tips and what you should do prior to visiting someone who is sick.
The journey of someone with MCS, TILT and MCAD is often a lonely one. It is a journey plagued by solitude and isolation. The hardest part for those of us who have multiple illnesses and MCS is finding empathy and understanding from our loved ones. Too often our family and friends become overwhelmed and uncomfortable with everything that affects us so they disengage and relationships are damaged.
Many times we feel guilty for having to ask family and friends to make accommodations for us. Some of us value our relationships so much that we would rather deal with the unbearable symptoms after an exposure then speak up and sound offensive by our requests. It is a cycle of self destruction. We place others first at the expense of our own health…until we crash and end up in a hospital or breathing through and oxygen mask.
Hi guys! I know I have been away for a while. Life has been a bit crazy. Ive been battling many ups and downs with my health but I am continually pushing forward.
Today I wanted to post a bit about my experience these past few weeks and some of my frustration.
These past few weeks I have been trying to make appointments to be seen for oral surgery that I have needed to do for the past few years but due to health and finances I have not been able to. Before getting sick I was able to go to any doctor, any dentist without an issue. Now, my life has been literally tossed upside down. Due to my recently confirmed MCS and my other health complications I cannot go to places with air fresheners, fresh paint and other chemicals.
This makes going out very restricting it also has…
OCT. 8, ’17 WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH THE BRUCE FAMILY??
HELLO– HELLO– HELLO—- I’M BACK— WE ARE LIVING IN COTTONWOOD FALLS, KS. NOW– WE ARE MORE MOVED INTO CWF THEN IN BURNS, KS. THERE IS MORE TO MOVE & GET THE HOUSE AT BURNS, KS. READY TO SELL!! THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMEONE INTERESTED IN BUYING OUR BURNS, KS HOUSE– SO THAT WOULD BE AWESOME IF THAT WORKED OUT.
I DELETED ALL THE HUNDREDS OF E-MAILS– SO IF YOU E-MAILED ME SOMETHING IMPORTANT PLEASE TRY AGAIN— THERE WERE WAY TOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY TO READ & ANSWER AT THIS TIME!!!
WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE A LAND LINE & INTERNET AGAIN– AS THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN THIS HOUSE WE BOUGHT & THEY MOVED OUT– DID NOT DISCONNECT THEIR SERVICE– AND WE COULD NOT GET SERVICE IF THEY STILL HAD SERVICE IN THEIR NAME AT THIS ADDRESS– WE WERE TOLD IT COULD TAKE UP TO SIX MONTHS BEFORE WE COULD GET SERVICE– BUT LONG–LONG–LONG–LONG STORY SHORT — IT IS NOT WHAT YA KNOW– BUT WHO YA KNOW & THEY GOT US SERVICE– WE HAD PLANNED ON USING OUR CELL PHONES HERE BECAUSE THEY DO WORK HERE & IN BURNS, KS OUR CELL PHONES DID NOT WORK– NOT A TOWER CLOSE ENOUGH– FOR SERVICE– BUT USING THE CELL PHONE GAVE ME TERRIBLE HEADACHES– SO GARY ALSO ORDERED A LAND LINE AGAIN!!! MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS THE SAME– CELL # IS THE SAME– & IF YOU NEED MY LAND LINE– LET ME KNOW. INTERNET IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FASTER & THE COST OF INTERNET & A LAND LINE IS LESS THEN THE SLOW INTERNET WE HAD IN BURNS, KS.
OK– MOST OF YOU KNOW THAT WE LOOKED AT THIS HOUSE WHEN FOR SALE-& IT WAS TOXIC CHEMICAL FREE– IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WE WERE BUYING IT– TO SIZE DOWN & HAVE AN MCS SAFE HOME– TOXIC CHEMICAL FREE—- WELL LONG LONG LONG STORY SHORTER– AFTER WE HAD A GOOD CONTRACT ON THE HOUSE-& NO ONE WAS LIVING IN IT— IT WAS SPRAYED WITH TOXIC KILLING FABREZE— AND I DO MEAN ALL OVER– CARPETS– INSIDE CABINETS & CLOSETS– & MEDICINE CABINETS– ALL OVER— TO SAY THIS WAS A TOTAL COMPLETE DISASTER WOULD BE THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR———- IT HAS COST US TIME & MONEY & MAINLY OUR HEALTH!!!!
I HAVE HAD SO MANY ASK WHAT DID YOU DO TO REMOVE ENOUGH OF THE TOXIC KILLING FABREZE TO MOVE IN—– WELL YOU NAME ANYTHING NATURAL & WE HAVE USED IT & STILL USING IT—- AND WILL PROBABLY ALWAYS HAVE TO USE IT!!! WE STARTED OUT WITH WHITE VINEGAR & APPLE CIDER VINEGAR– & HYDROGEN PEROXIDE & GARY PUT DOWN OVER 15 POUNDS OF BAKING SODA ON THE CARPETS– WE USED VODKA– AND AIR PURIFIERS & FANS WITH FILTERS– & WE USED SMALL OZONE MACHINES– AND THEN WE ORDERED A COMMERCIAL OZONE MACHINE– AT THE COST OF $1,000.00 AND THEN WE USED OPEN WINDOWS & WINDOW FANS– AND MORE ACV & COFFEE GROUNDS & WE USED CHARCOAL & MORE VODKA– GARY WENT TO THE LIQUOR STORE IN STRONG CITY, KS. WHICH IS A MILE AWAY & ASKED FOR THE BIGGEST BOTTLE OF THE CHEAPEST VODKA & SAID WE WERE USING IT FOR CLEANING— GARY SAID I’M SURE SHE DIDN’T BELIEVE THAT FROM THE LOOK SHE GAVE ME!!! 🙂 WE ARE STILL USING AIR PURIFIERS & NEW FILTERS IN THEM & MORE VODKA– & MORE COFFEE GROUNDS– I HAVE PIE TINS OF COFFEE GROUNDS SITTING IN EVERY CABINET & MEDICINE CABINET & I MOVED INTO THE HOUSE OVER 300 HOUSE PLANTS– & MOVE MORE IN EVERY DAY————–
AT FIRST WE SLEPT IN THE RV AT NIGHT– WHERE IT WAS MCS SAFE– AS IT IS MY MCS SAFE HOME ON WHEELS– AS THE FABREZE WAS STILL TOO STRONG TO SLEEP INSIDE IN THE POISON!!! I AM NOW SLEEPING ON THE COUCH IN THE LIVING ROOM– WHERE I CAN BREATHE– AND GARY IS SLEEPING IN THE BEDROOM– NEXT IS BUYING A MCS SAFE NEW MATTRESS——-WE AFTER 40 YEARS OF A WATER BED– DID NOT MOVE THE HEAVY WATERBED NOW TO FIND AN MCS SAFE MATTRESS WE CAN SLEEP ON!!! ANY ONE WITH MCS– KNOWS THOSE CHALLENGES!!!!
WHAT DID WE DO TO THE PERSON WHO SPRAYED OUR HOUSE WITH FABREZE– WELL THE OLD ME WOULD HAVE ROPED & DRUG HER & BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HER– AS USING POISON FABREZE ALL THROUGH A HOUSE IS LIKE PUTTING A GUN TO SOMEONE’S HEAD– AND USING FABREZE IN A HOUSE THAT SOMEONE IS BUYING BECAUSE IT HAS NO TOXIC CHEMICALS IS LIKE PULLING THE TRIGGER OF THE GUN & NOT TOTALLY KILLING THEM!!! WELL THROUGH LOTS OF PRAYERS—– I HAVE FORGIVEN THE BITCH– (WELL STILL WORKING ON THAT FOR TOTAL FORGIVENESS) — NOT FOR HER BUT FOR ME— & GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF HER– AND I ALSO BELIEVE IN KARMA—— SHE WILL GET HERS!!!!!!
PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE MCS– JUST DON’T GET IT—- AND WHO KNOWS IF THEY EVER WILL– THE MAIN THING I HEAR FROM ALL MY HUNDREDS OF MCS SISTERS IS– PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND– NO THEY DON’T & MANY DON’T GIVE A RAT’S BUTT & MANY ARE SO MISERABLE– IN THEIR OWN LIVES THEY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO HURT OTHERS——
IS THERE STILL FABREZE IN THE HOUSE– YES THERE IS——- I THINK ALL THE THINGS WE USED HELPED– BUT I BELIEVE THE COMMERCIAL OZONE MACHINE WAS WHAT MADE IT POSSIBLE TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE—– WE REALLY DID THINK ABOUT PUTTING IT BACK ON THE MARKET & NOT MOVING IN!!!! TO SAY THIS HAS BEEN A TOTAL CHALLENGE WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT—— A MOVE IN BAD HEALTH IS ONE THING– A MOVE IN TERRIBLE HEALTH IS ANOTHER—— AND NOT KNOWING IF WE COULD EVER REALLY GET THE HOUSE SAFE ENOUGH TO MOVE INTO— IT MAD ME SOOOOOOOOOOO ILL– & IT MADE GARY ILL & IT EVEN MAD THE DOGS ILL!!!

OK– I NEVER DO A BLOG POST WITH OUT SHARING INFORMATION ABOUT MCS– SO HERE WE GO—
WHAT IS MCS??
Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) is a medical condition characterized by debilitating chemical sensitivities. People who are chemically sensitive are made sick by exposures to chemicals found in many common products such as pesticides, perfumes, tobacco smoke, new carpets, air “fresheners,” new paint and building materials, and many cleaning and laundry products. Most of these chemicals will make everyone sick at high levels, but for chemically sensitive people exposures to even small amounts of these substances can cause symptoms. Some chemically sensitive people are only mildly affected while others have the more severe form of the illness called MCS.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF MCS????
SYMPTOMS experienced by people with MCS range from mild to life-threatening and include headache, trouble concentrating, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, muscle and joint pain,dizziness, difficulty breathing, irregular heart beat, and seizures and more. MCS symptoms in children include red cheeks and ears, dark circles under the eyes, hyperactivity, and behavior or learning problems. After an exposure, symptoms mayoccur immediately or be delayed for up to a few days. Reactions may last from a few seconds to weeks or months. People with MCS often react to a variety of foods, drugs, molds, and pollen as well as chemicals.
What causes MCS???
Many people have developed MCS after being exposed to chemicals in a newly built home, recently remodeled office, or following a pesticide or solvent exposure. Others slowly become ill over a period of years. Creating a Healthier Environment Reducing exposures to chemicals improves the health of those with MCS. Better air quality also helps promote the health of everyone. The following are ways to create a healthier environment:
: Avoid pesticides
· Avoid newly built or remodeled buildings, or build with less toxic materials
· Avoid new paint and solvent-based stains and transparent finishes
· Avoid new carpets
· Avoid gasoline, solvent, dry-cleaning, and tar fumes
· Avoid tobacco smoke and vehicle exhaust
· Use least toxic, natural, and unscented cleaning, laundry, and sanitizing products
· Avoid perfume, cologne, and scented personal care products
· Avoid air “freshener” sprays, incense, and fragrance-emitting devices
· Use electric utilities or radiant heat
· Open windows, ventilate buildings with clean fresh air and/or use portable room air filters.
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is basically a subset of Environmental Illness (EI), which is caused by living in a toxic world. The chemicals that were synthesized after World War II (including, pesticides, synthetic fragrances, cleaning products, detergents, etc.) are mostly “petro-chemicals” (petroleum based) and are quite toxic to humans. There have been virtually no studies done on the majority of these chemicals to see how they affect humans – the industry just placed the chemicals in the environment with the assumption that they are “safe, till proven toxic”, instead of the other way around. One of the biggest offenders is PERFUME and other scented products. Did you know that many of the ingredients in your perfume are the exact same ingredients found in GASOLINE??!! I didn’t either! The scary thing is that the perfume industry is NOT REGULATED at all – they can put any number of chemicals in fragrance without revealing what those chemicals are – or how they affect humans. We humans are all participating in a giant “lab experiment” against our knowledge and against our will, and it’s making some of us VERY sick.
Those of us who are becoming chronically ill from these chemicals are similar to the “canaries in the coal mine”. Coal miners would take a canary into the mines with them to warn them when the air became toxic. They knew that when the canary stopped singing or died, it was time to get out before it affected them as well. We “human canaries” are here to warn the rest of you that, unless you start making changes and avoid as many toxic chemicals as possible, you too may become very sick. Non toxic living is actually much “simpler” and cheaper!
Don’t be fooled, these chemicals are affecting ALL of us in some way or another. Think about the last time you got a headache for no apparent reason. Could it be possible that someone had recently sprayed perfume or pesticides near you without you knowing it? Had you recently used scented laundry detergent or Clorox to clean with? Do you get headaches or feel nauseous from being around people wearing perfume or cologne? Do you feel you need to hold your breath when you go down the detergent aisle at the grocery store? All these things are your body’s way of telling you something is wrong with the air you’re breathing. While an MBA in health care may help you understand the whys and wherefores of the medical issues it doesn’t take a masters degree to listen to your body and know that things are not right.
It’s like playing “Russian Roulette” – you never know how long your immune system can hold out before breaking down. Some people may never reach the point of “chronic illness” that I have – but most people are being affected, possibly without realizing it. Cancer has increased dramatically since World War II (after all the chemicals came out). Attention Deficit Disorder is on the rise (more and more of our children are being put on toxic, brain-altering drugs like Ritalin when simply cleaning up their environment could solve their problems). Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Alzheimer’s Disease, Allergies, Asthma, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and Multiple Sclerosis are also increasing. All these illnesses could very well have a chemical connection to their cause or, at the very least, these patients would benefit from using less-toxic products. Pretty much any “immune system” disorder could be helped by a cleaner environment and by using safer products.
The products we use on our skin are absorbed directly into the bloodstream (the reason why nitroglycerine, nicotine, and hormone patches work). The chemicals we breathe (such as perfumes, formaldehyde, pesticides, etc.) all go straight to our brains and can cause low-level to severe damage – similar to how someone can snort cocaine or glue to get a “high”. Start reading labels – check for petro-chemicals, formaldehyde, and fragrance, and avoid them as much as possible. A clue that an ingredient may be a petro-chemical is the “prop” prefix. A clue that an ingredient releases formaldehyde is “Quaternium”. Be careful about products labeled “fragrance free” or “unscented”. Don’t trust them! Read the label and be sure they don’t list “fragrance” or “masking fragrance”. Don’t put anything on your skin you’d be afraid to eat, because the end result is the same!
Before I got sick, I had no clue that I was slowly being “poisoned” by products that I assumed were “safe” since they were on the market! If this could happen to me – YOU COULD BE NEXT – and most who have health problems- have not tied their health problems to the toxic chemicals they are exposed to everyday—that they breathe–eat & drink & use!!
When you choose to use fragrances, chemicals, or pesticides, You are not simply making a choice for yourself, You are making a choice for everyone around you!!!!
ALSO IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THE BRAND- OR THE PRICE YOU PAID– ALL PERFUME & FRAGRANCES ARE ALL TOXIC!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE KILLERS—–
g-Terpinene- Causes central nervous system disorder
Lilial (Butylphenyl methylpropional)- Disruptive to hormones, allergen
Limonene- Carcinogen, causes central nervous system disorder
Linalool- Narcotic, causes central nervous system disorder
Lyral- Allergen, causes eczema
Methylene chloride- Banned by the FDA, carcinogen, EPA hazardous waste list, causes central nervous system disorder
Musk ketone- Disruptive to hormones
Myrcene- possible carcinogen
Octinoxate (Octyl methoxycinnamate) – Disruptive to hormones and thyroid
Oxybenzone- Disruptive to hormones
Toluene- Carcinogen
Tonalide- toxic to the endocrine system

HELLO ALL—- WELL WE CLOSED ON THE SALE OF OUR SMALLER HOUSE YESTERDAY– AND GARY TOOK A PU & TRAILER LOAD INTO TOWN & WE HAD THE CLASS B RV LOADED & A SMALL ENCLOSED TRAILER LOADED WHICH I DROVE– AND WE CLOSED ON THE SALE– & WENT TO THE HOUSE TO START DEEP CLEANING—————-
WELL WITHIN A SHORT TIME—-I COULD NO LONGER BREATHE——– AND I FINALLY DECIDED EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE FROM WALLS & CABINETS & CARPETS HAD BEEN SPRAYED WITH FABREEZE!!!!!!
IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TOXIC FABREEZE IS— I’LL SHARE SOME INFORMATION!!!!!!!!
Febreze is classified as an air freshner, created by Proctor & Gamble. It reports to work by “trapping” odor molecules in a donut-shaped chemical.
The first thing that is really important to understand: the product does not remove odor molecules and it doesn’t clean the item it comes into contact with.
The odor molecules are still there. Your nose just can’t perceive them because you smell the chemical product instead.
That alone should be your first warning. We know inhalation of any chemicals is dangerous, and several of its ingredients listed below are known to irritate the lungs…but this is a chemical whose entire purpose is to be inhaled!
Unfortunately there is not much data being shared on Febreze and their many products, but the Environmental Working Group (EWG) did conduct a test for the ingredients of one of their products, Febreze Air Effects.
Shockingly, P&G only disclosed THREE ingredients in this product, but the EWG…they found 87 chemicals in total!
Now this is just one Febreze product, but the fact that only 3 ingredients were disclosed and that so many undisclosed ingredients are dangerous, it’s safe to assume that their other air freshners are just as dangerous.
Febreze Ingredients
Below you’ll find a list of just some of the 87 chemicals found by the EWG in Febreze Air Effects, listed in order of their toxicity to humans:
BHT – Known as a neurotoxin, endocrine disruptor, immunotoxicity, non-reproductive organ system toxicity, skin eye and lung irritator
Acetaldehyde – Known to cause cancer, toxic to reproduction and development, immunotoxin, non-reproductive organ system toxin, skin, eye and lung irritator
“Fragrance” – One of the three ingredients actually disclosed, it’s a neurotoxin, immunotoxin and allergen
Propylene Glycol – Causes cancer, allergies, toxic to immune system, accumulates in the system, non-reproductive organ system toxin, is classified with “enhanced skin absorption” and irritates the skin, eye and lung
Limonene – Allergen, immunotoxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator
Methyl pyrrolidone – Toxin to reproduction and development, allergen and immunotoxin, non-reproductive organ system toxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator
Alcohol denatured – Also disclosed in the ingredients of Febreze, it’s linked to cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity, organ system toxicity and skin, eyes and lung irritator
Butylphenyl methylpropion al – allergen, immunotoxin and and skin, eyes and lung irritator
Ethyl acetate – linked to developmental/reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, organic system toxicity and and skin, eyes and lung irritator
Geraniol – Linked to allergies, immunotoxicity, organi system toxicity and and skin, eyes and lung irritation
Linalool – allergen, immunotoxin, and and skin, eyes and lung irritator
Benzaldehyde – neurotoxin, and skin, eyes and lung irritator
Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether – non-reproductive organ system toxicity
Ethylhezanol – developmental and reproductive toxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator
Hexyl cinnamal – allergen, immunotoxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator
Why You Should Use Natural Air Fresheners Instead
Is it time for you to change your methods of freshening your home? Here are seven reasons why we think you should switch to more natural methods like opening a window, burning a SAFE CANDLE using baking soda and vinegar to absorb and remove odors.
Febreze and other chemical air fresheners do not remove the odor molecules—they simply cover them up. The odor molecules are still there, you just can’t detect them anymore. So after spraying the product, you’re not only inhaling the odor molecules, but the air freshener chemicals as well.
Febreze contains chemicals linked to cancer.
Febreze contains chemicals linked to hormone disruption and developmental problems.
Febreze contains chemicals linked to neurotoxicity, which means the chemicals are poisonous to the nerves or nerve cells.
Febreze contains chemicals that irritate the skin, eyes, and lungs.
Febreze contains chemicals linked to allergies and asthma.
Febreze doesn’t disclose any of these potentially harmful ingredients, so if it weren’t for studies like these by the EWG and the NRDC, we would have no idea what we were sniffing.
I WOULD ADD MORE PICTURES & INFORMATION HERE———- BUT MY INTERNET IS WAY BEYOND SLOW TODAY & NOT WANTING TO WORK————–
SO WE OPENED ALL THE WINDOWS & DOORS AS IN KANSAS IT IS WINDY ALL THE TIME—-AND WE LET THE AIR MOVE THROUGH THE HOUSE–
NEXT WAS VINEGAR ON ALL SURFACES IN THE HOUSE— AND OF COARSE AIR PURIFIERS & FANS WITH FILTERS— ETC——-
BEFORE WE LEFT FOR THE DAY– GARY PUT 15 LBS OF BAKING SODA ON THE CARPETS—- AND HE PLUGGED IN ALL OZONE PURIFIERS WE HAD!!
AFTER WE GOT HOME WHICH I WAS NOT SURE I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT HOME DRIVING THE VAN & PULLING A TRAILER- MY MCS SYMPTOMS GOT WORSE—– NOT JUST THE HEADACHE & NOT ABLE TO BREATHE- AND MY SKIN BURNING & MY EYES BURNING– MY MOUTH & LIPS BURNING — BUT I HAD TERRIBLE CHEMICAL FLARES AND THEN I COULD NOT TALK— COULD NOT FORM A SENTENCE– COULD NOT EVEN GET WORDS TO COME OUT ONLY TERRIBLE GIBBERISH——— BUT I COULD WRITE NOTES THAT MADE SENSE—– AND IT FELT LIKE ANTS CRAWLING ALL OVER MY SKIN– MORE—— SO MUCH MORE——-AND I STARTED BREAKING OUT– AND SO MUCH MORE——
WHEN PEOPLE SAY TO ME WELL HOW DO CHEMICALS EFFECT YOU–AND SAY–WELL I GET A HEAD ACHE—– WELL WOULDN’T IT BE WONDERFUL IF ALL I GOT WAS A DAMNED HEADACHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!! I OFTEN HAVE TO REFRAIN FROM SLAPPING PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TERRIBLE CHEMICAL FLARE & THEY ASK IF IT JUST GIVES ME A HEADACHE!!! LOL!!! OR THOSE WHO SAY– OH I DON’T HAVE ON ANYTHING SCENTED ON ONLY ESSENTIAL OILS – JUST THOSE SYNTHETIC FAKE OILS!!!!!!!! OH- MY——
I AM ALWAYS AFRAID OF NOT HAVING ANY CONTROL OVER MY REACTIONS—- AND GOING INTO THAT DARK HOLE AGAIN———— AND LAST NIGHT I HAD SO MANY REACTIONS & BAD ONES I WAS AFRAID I WAS HEADED THERE & NOT A DAMNED THING I COULD DO ABOUT IT————-
I have been asked to write about my worst experience with MCS– I’m not sure I can go there– because maybe I don’t want to be judged– I sure as hell don’t want to be mocked– BUT– I prayed about this & God assured me I need to share this– as I didn’t go through it to not learn compassion & learn to give HOPE– to everyone who has any form of MCS– so here it comes dead straight from my heart–
Several years ago Gary & I had an INN SITTING BUSINESS– what is that– well we had owned lodging– & knew you could not find anyone to take over your business so you could escape– so we started an Inn sitting business where we would go in & take over– & the owners could walk out & leave their business with us & for what ever reason– for a few days or a few weeks– well — we went to Cripple Creek Colo to an Inn– & they had new carpet– new drapes– new bedspreads– new paint– the biggest toxic chemical mess in the world– & enough formaldehyde in that place to embalm a small city!! Needless to say I didn’t last long– & Gary loaded me up in the car & drove like hell all the way back to our home in Kansas– I thought I would get better– but I didn’t– the chemicals affected my nervous system –OK– I could not breathe– my throat was almost totally swollen shut-my eyes were almost totally swollen shut– brain fog– rash my skin looked like I had a birth mark over all of it– as I was bleeding under my skin– I was swollen up like a big toad– ALL MCS symptoms- you have ever read about– BUT– for the very first time– the chemicals affected my total nervous system– I could not sit– lay down– wear clothes– have anything touch me-could not take a shower– wash my hair– and I could not keep anything inside of me– I could not eat– all I did was drink water– then the PANIC ATTACKS STARTED– the worst I have ever experienced in my life– it was like riding a bucking horse — a terrible mad violent bucking horse– you thought this horse will finally get tired & stop this– but if the attacks stopped it was only for that damned horse to get it’s breath & go again– & I could not breathe it was like I could see my self as a gold-fish who had jumped out of the fish bowl & could no longer breathe without water– & riding a bucking horse at the same time– All who know me well- know I’m very independent & bullheaded & if I make up my mind to do something –I very well can damned do it–BUT– now- I was not in control of any action of my body & I was lost– me who is always in control– could not control these panic attacks!! And I had all other MCS symptoms you have ever read about & heart pumping– etc- etc etc– & I can’t keep anything in my system– I can’t lay down– I can’t rest– I can’t sleep–I can’t eat–
I had a health professional say– we have got to get her to the hospital– so we went– & they had NO PROTOCOL for anyone with MCS– they took samples of me– & then as I heard some one in the next room say– she is going to die– I said to Gary get me out of here– & he did — from the tests we found my body was feeding on it’s self– & I had water toxicity– from only drinking water-as it was all I could keep inside of me- also still having panic attacks sooooo bad– I really wanted to die– this had gone on for many- many -many days now– & I prayed that night for God to please -please– take me–or get me to some real help– And it must not have been my time to go– as God sent me to Dr Ed McKenzie in Holton, Ks. it was a real struggle to get clothes on– & sit in a car & close the door– & ride from our home in Cottonwood Falls, Ks. to Holton, Ks.– Doc Ed was a friendly face– I don’t remember any thing he said to me– EXCEPT– when he took my hand & looked me in the eyes & said– You are going to get better— OH MY GOSH— HOPE– HOPE -HOPE- the first time anyone had given me HOPE!! I got my mind around that– HOPE– those damned panic attacks– I can ride them– I can make it!!!! Doc sent home Standard Process Complete with us & said– mix this & at first just try a tablespoon full & see if you can keep it in you– so every hour or so I took a tablespoon of natural healthy Standard Process Complete– & it finally stayed in me–I lived in our rocking chair for weeks– & weeks– when I wasn’t pacing the floor & riding out those damned panic attacks!!! I finally got in my mind– go ahead & buck & I’ll spur ya– now give me all ya got & lets get it over with– & I would ride that wave of panic attacks!! I finally saw HOPE in Gary’s eyes when I could keep something inside of me– & I could talk in some form of a sentence by placing more then 2 words together– & could dress myself– when he said– we need to go to see Dr Ed today– I think we went every other day maybe every day– for weeks– then months–
I remember some time– Gary had an old people stool in our shower– & asked if I wanted to try getting clean– some point– I remember being able to let water hit my skin with out it feeling like a million hot coals burning me–& sitting off more panic attacks– I remember some time I was even able to put my head in the kitchen sink & let water hit my head– no shampoo– could not take any thing but water on my head same as no soap or chemicals when I took a shower–
I remember when I finally tried to eat a cracker this was after weeks & weeks -& weeks- & only a crumb & it tasted so bad– as I had not had any other nourishment in me except Standard Process Complete for maybe several months!!
We removed every single scented thing from our home at that time– we took out every single chemical– I sprayed Vinegar in the house in a spray bottle to neutralize any other smells– I did that in the car to be able to go to the doctor’s office–
And I journaled to keep my mind– I wrote notebook– after notebook– as I could still not put together a complete sentence– in talking!! I would write– rock in that rocking chair– & pace & ride out those damned panic attacks– & write Gary notes as I still could not put the words together to come out to make sense in talking!!
Gary for the first time in our married life had to take care of me instead of me always taking care of him–& he had to take on responsibility he had never ever done in our marriage before– & I could see he was scared to death most of the time– & I could not talk or have enough strength in me at that time to give him any HOPE as it took all the HOPE I had to just make it minute by minute in my own life!!
I was soooooo sick for sooooooo long– it is now a blur– it is a dark hole– that I won’t let myself get sucked into ever again in my life– I will never ever let myself be exposed to all those chemicals– I will always keep a “safe home” & I’ll fight for my chemical free “safe home”– as it is all I have to protect myself– it is my only safe place in this world– And I won’t let people in my safe home ever again that have chemicals on them–
When Gary & I travel we travel in our RV our safe home on wheels!!
I have kept all those journals I wrote for weeks & months– but I have never ever gone back to reread them– WAY TOOOOOOO DARK OF A PLACE— Praise God I can’t even remember it all!!
When people say– what makes you think you are an expert on MCS to help other people–
WELL I HAVE LIVED WITH MCS IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER FOR OVER 50 YEARS-
AND I HAVE BEEN IN A HELL HOLE– FROM MCS– THAT I NEVER EVER WANT ANYONE ELSE TO BE IN– – & IF SOMEONE HAD NOT HAVE GIVEN ME “HOPE”– IWOULD NOT BE HERE!!! I remember the first day I was able to laugh again–
(There are tears are hitting my key board as it write this)– all I can say is IF I HAD NOT KNOWN JESUS CHRIST AS MY LORD & SAVIOR — I COULD NOT HAVE MADE IT!!!
( Thank you JESUS- & Thank you Dr. Ed McKenzie – & Thank you Ed Pope for letting God use you- to lead me -to Jesus Christ as my Lord & Savior & thank you Gary Bruce for loving me & being my best half .) I love ya all!!!
It is still very hard when people have NO FRICK’EN CLUE WHAT MCS IS– or how it can try to control our life– & how many people continue to use all the toxic chemicals & fragrances that are killing ALL OF US!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE DOGS HAVE A FENCED YARD AT THE NEW PLACE——– AND WE DON’T HAVE REAL CLOSE NEIGHBORS–AND THE ONES WE HAVE–– I HOPE THEY DON’T USE ROUND UP LIKE WATER & FABRIC SOFTENER SHEETS—-
Some of the harmful ingredients commonly found in liquid or sheet fabric softeners include:
• Chloroform: This substance was used as an anesthesia in the 1800s up through the early 1900s when its potential for causing fatal cardiac arrhythmia was discovered. A carcinogenic neurotoxin, it is on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list. Inhaling its vapors may cause loss of consciousness, nausea, headache, vomiting, and/or dizziness, drowsiness. It may aggravate disorders of the heart, kidneys or liver. Its effects worsen when subjected to heat.
• A-Terpineol: Causes Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders, meaning problems relating to the brain and spine such as Alzheimer’s disease, ADD, dementia, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, seizures, strokes, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Early symptoms of CNS problems include aphasia, blurred vision, disorientation, dizziness, headaches, hunger, memory loss, numbness in face, pain in neck and spine. A-Terpineol also irritates the mucous membranes and, if aspirated into the lungs, can cause respiratory depression, pneumonia or fatal edema.
• Benzyl Alcohol: This upper respiratory tract irritant can cause central nervous system (CNS) disorders, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and dramatic drops in blood pressure.
• Benzyl Acetate: This substances has been linked to pancreatic cancer. Its vapors can be irritating to eyes and respiratory passages and it can also be absorbed through the skin.
• Ethanol: Another fabric softener ingredient which is on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list and linked to CNS disorders.
• Pentane: A chemcial known to be harmful if inhaled.
• Ethyl Acetate: This substance, which is on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list, can be irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. It may also cause severe headaches and loss of consciousness, as well as damage to the liver and kidneys.
• Camphor: Another substance on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list. It is easily absorbed through body tissue, causing irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Camphor can also cause dizziness, confusion, nausea, twitching muscles and convulsions.
• Linalool: A narcotic known to cause respiratory problems and CNS disorders. In animal testing, exposure to linalool has resulted in death.
• Phthalates: Used in scented products to help the scent last longer, phthlates have been linked to breast cancer and reproductive system problems.
• Limonene: This known carcinogen can cause irritation to eyes and skin.
• Also, if you follow a vegan lifestyle, you should be aware that many fabric softener sheets are made using tallow, a form of animal fat.
Manufacturers are aware that the products contain toxic chemicals. The packaging on many brands include a warning that the product should not be used on children’s sleepwear. Since some of the same brands also have large images of children and toys, however, consumers may miss the small print message.

OUR CAMP SITE AT BULL SHOALS WAS UNDER WATER— SO WE STAYED AT AN RV PARK ON TOP OF THE HILL— JUST OUT SIDE OF FORSYTH, MO.
WE FORGOT HOW MUCH WE LOVED STAYING NEXT TO THE LAKE– AND BEING ABLE TO JUST SIT OUT IN THE COOL IN THE EVENINGS– AND DO NOTHING BUT LISTEN TO THE TREE FROGS SING TO YOU!!!
WE LOVE THE FORSYTH AREA– IT IS A SMALL TOURIST TYPE TOWN ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO BRANSON, MO.
Originally constructed to provide 4 megawatts of 25 hertz power, it has since been upgraded to provide 16 megawatts of 60 hertz power.[1] Sixty Hertz is now the standard frequency of electric power in North America, though the old 25 Hertz power distribution was more efficient, having less losses.
Lake Taneycomo originated when the White River was confined by the completion of the Powersite Dam, near Forsyth, Missouri, in 1913. From 1913 until 1958 it was a warm water lake. In the 1930s, tourists began to be drawn to the lake and its nearby communities, Branson and Rockaway Beach.
The completion of Table Rock Dam in 1958 changed the source of water to Taneycomo from that of the White River’s flowing waters to the bottom tailwater of Table Rock Lake from the dam spillway and made it into a cold water lake. The clear cold waters from the deep tailwaters of Table Rock Lake pour out of the dam into Lake Taneycomo.
In 1957, the Missouri Department of Conservation constructed the Shepherd of the Hills Trout Hatchery. All methods of trout fishing — fly fishing, artificial bait, and live bait fishing — may be used year-round to pursue trout that inhabit the waters of Lake Taneycomo.
Lake Taneycomo has the characteristics of both a river and a lake. The shallow colder water, located near the Table Rock Dam, averages 48 °F (9 °C), resembles a river and permits wading and bank fishing for trout. The average temperature of the water gets warmer and the depth of the lake deepens to more than 50 feet (15 m) near the Powersite Dam in Forsyth.When Table Rock Dam is generating power its current is very strong throughout its whole length, its water temperature drops, and for all practical purposes it becomes a very deep, cold, fast running river. Exactly how deep, cold, and fast depends on how many generators are being used to generate electricity at Table Rock Dam.
Lake Taneycomo offers a variety of recreational activities including hiking, sightseeing, hunting, fishing, swimming, boating, and water skiing. People accessing Lake Taneycomo are able to visit area restaurants, accommodations, shopping, and shows in the Branson area.
