Healthy Homes for Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)

Corbett Lunsford

Tonight I interviewed Corinne Segura (https://www.mychemicalfreehouse.net/), one of my Mastermind students who helps people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (aka MCS, or Environmental Sensitivity), which she also suffers from herself.

Corbett Lunsford

'Home Diagnosis' season 2 will show people the safe and potentially dangerous methods for air purification- here's our simple stance on the issue: a fan and a filter is all you need. If you’re looking at any other technology, including Ozone generation (my god, please no), UV light, electrostatic filters, or other ionization-related new gadgets, they create all kinds of funny chemical reactions that it’s almost impossible to track, predict, or prevent side effects from.
