It is also important to avoid chemicals that may be further injuring the body even though the person is not obviously reacting to them. Don't use dry-erase markers Avoid OTC and prescription medicines that are not medically necessary Watch carefully for reactions, and avoid anything that makes one ill, even if the reason for the reaction seems to make no sense Most people with MCS who get better do so through avoidance and careful, controlled detox of existing toxins in the body. Some detox can be done on one's own but it's best to start off with medical supervision. Some examples of detox methods are sauna, vitamin C, bentonite clay, charcoal, and special diets. Some people with MCS can safely use medicines to alleviate symptoms but most people with MCS are also hypersensitive to drugs.
Some people find lasting relief through mainstream treatments such as allergy shots.
Chiropracty, homeopathy, and massage can also be useful. Patients may wish to consider removing mercury amalgam dental fillings or silicon implants.
