It’s the first in an ongoing series that we’re calling The MCS Podcast Book Club.
I’m speaking with four women with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) — two in the U.S. and two from Canada. They are Caren Kirk, Donna Reid, Jacqueline Rice, and Ronda Sternhagen.
The women share their thoughts about the 2020 book, “The Sensitives: The Rise of Environmental Illness and the Search for America's Last Pure Place” by Oliver Broudy.
The book is about a journey Broudy took to try to understand MCS. We discuss how the author conducted a lot of research, outlines how we are all exposed to toxic chemicals, but according to my guests, fails to put the false argument that MCS is in our heads to rest.
Share your thoughts about the conversation and the book.

Annemarie is Professor of Health in the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Practice at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand.
For decades, Annemarie has explored the power the medical establishment has to provide or withhold diagnoses, the clarity diagnoses can provide for people who receive them, and how communities innovate when doctors do not provide diagnoses or recognize illnesses.
I invited Annemarie to speak on the podcast, because diagnosis is such an important and complex issue for folks with MCS. As you know, most people with the illness are unable to get a diagnosis, because unfortunately, the condition remains widely misunderstood by physicians and healthcare workers.
You’ll hear Annemarie's insights about:
The “transformative” nature of a diagnosis.
How many people with so-called contested illnesses struggle to get diagnoses.
How many self-diagnosis and determine which illnesses they have by connecting with community online.
And more!

Toxicology & Communities of Resistance: Melina Packer
New episodes twice a month. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
Please support our work to help us continue creating greater awareness about MCS. Thank you very much!
In Episode 18, “Toxicology & Communities of Resistance," I’m speaking with Melina Packer, Ph.D.
Melina is a postdoctoral research associate in the Feminist Lenses for Animal Interaction Research (FLAIR) Lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She is currently writing a queer feminist history of toxicology in the U.S., in which she argues that racial, gendered, and economic hierarchies are embedded into the science itself. These inherent biases, in turn, help explain how and why marginalized peoples remain disproportionately more exposed to toxic environmental chemicals.
In our conversation, Melina explores:
How society became inundated with synthetic chemicals or toxicants.
How women, especially women of color, factory- and farm-workers, LGBTQ+ people, and members of other socially marginalized groups, are often over-burdened by toxic exposures.
What endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are and how they challenge core tenets of toxicology.
How over-exposed communities are pushing back against the chemical industry.

In this episode, I’m speaking with Andrea Lily Ford, Ph.D. Originally from California in the U.S., Andrea is now based in Scotland. She is an anthropologist and specializes in culture and medicine and works at the Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society at the University of Edinburgh Medical School.
As a researcher, Andrea builds on her experience as a practicing birth doula to examine the impact of chemicals on the endocrine system. She also specializes in how chemicals affect childbearing women, foetuses, and infants.
In our conversation, Andrea explores how:
The placenta does not protect the foetus from chemicals.
Many women spend time and energy identifying products that potentially keep their unborn children and infants safe.
Reducing the number of chemicals is everyone’s responsibility.
Breastfeeding can pass chemicals from mothers to infants, but in spite of this, it is still widely recommended because of its benefits.

The nature of ME/CFS.
How people with ME/CFS and MCS struggle to have these illnesses understood and accepted.
Online activism as a way for people with chronic illnesses to call for change.
The impacts of capitalism on people with ME/CFS and MCS.

I’m speaking with author Marcus Sedgwick, who wrote the book “Snowflake, AZ,” published in 2019.
The novel focuses on Ash, who travels by Greyhound bus to find their stepbrother Bly, who was last seen in Snowflake, Arizona. It’s a community where many people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) have settled, at an altitude of 6,000 feet in the desert, to get away from chemicals that are all too common in urban environments.
In our conversation, Marcus explores:
● How the character Ash first views so-called canaries, people with MCS who live in Snowflake, and how the character's views shift when they develop the illness.
● His experience visiting the community of Snowflake, AZ, and getting to know people with MCS who reside there.
● How long COVID may be changing the way some authorities in some countries are responding to chronic illnesses.
