Renee Twombly's news article "The Simple Truth about MCS" (Twombly 2003) ignores the plausible physiologic mechanism (described in the same issue of EHP) that answers each of the major questions about multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) (Pall 2003). Given the many puzzling features of MCS and the previous claims that there cannot be a plausible physiologic mechanism to explain it, the finding of a physiologic mechanism (Pall 2002, 2003; Pall and Satterlee 2001) is a landmark in our understanding of this illness.
This mechanism provides answers to each of the most important and previously intractible questions about MCS (Pall 2003), such as:
