The Environmental Illness Resource is an information resource and interactive community site for people suffering from a range of chronic illnesses which are poorly understood and for which there is currently very limited healthcare available. We have chosen to group these conditions under the title of 'Environmental Illnesses' and they include Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalopathy (ME/CFS), Fibromyalgia, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), and allergies.

We currently have over 2500 pages of news, articles, research abstracts and original content regarding environmental illnesses and the treatment options available. We are currently visited by around 60,000 people like you every month so please get involved, post in the forums, write a blog, or review books and products (see the help section or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it if you need a helping hand!)

Mast Sanity Press Release

The Pro-GM science lobby group “Sense About Science” ^[1] has just announced a new leaflet “Making Sense About Radiation” ^[2] – it appears to be a knee-jerk reaction to the recent Press coverage of the ground-breaking conference ^[3] held in London attended by both sides in the debate over Microwave Radiation and its health effects.

The leaflet makes sweeping claims that can not be substantiated such as “the Draper study published in 2005, found a relationship between the chances of developing leukaemia and the distance a person lived from power lines in the UK,…This does not show, however, that the pylons are causing cancer. … The increased risk may be because the children shared some other risk factor for leukaemia perhaps due to exposure to some other environmental conditions or carcinogens. “^[17], “but there is no evidence that RF radiation causes harmful non-thermal effects” ^[4] or “Non-ionising radiation does not have enough energy to damage or kill the cell, and so cannot cause cancer”
