Mistakes

Consequences

Placing the Presumption on the Wrong Side

The most common mistake people make is to subject persons with sensitivities to a reverse onus when they report their experience of repeatable, controllable circumstances, contrary to ethics, social convention and laws since the Magna Carta. This practice is unethical in any context, but becomes especially damaging in clinical medicine.

Fear of Liability

Posted 21 May 2009 - 11:21am

"An important point is the fear of liability (at the legal and moral level) which perpetrates attitudes and actions. The protective psychological mechanism that comes into action when one knows deeply other people have been harmed, because of their negligence, or because they have been hiding behind the presumed lack of science, because they have minimized, belittled the issues, this mechanism which hides behind denial, camouflage, or aggression needs to be uncovered. Consequences need to be brought to the conscious level, for healing to take place, and prevention to take its role. Now people at governmental, industrial and academic level hide behind the oppressive properties of fear, fear of acknowledging what has happened."

Prevalence - Caress and Steinemann

Posted 21 May 2009 - 11:27am

“We examined the prevalence of multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS), a hypersensitivity to common chemical substances. We used a randomly selected sample of 1582 respondents from the Atlanta, Ga, standard metropolitan statistical area. We found that 12.6% of our sample reported the hypersensitivity and that, while the hypersensitivity is more common in women, it is experienced by both men and women of a variety of ages and educational levels. Our prevalence for MCS is similar to that (15.9%) found by the California Department of Health Services in California and suggests that the national prevalence may be similar.”

Healthy Environments for Canadians

Posted 21 May 2009 - 12:32pm

This report's 244 page annotated bibliography on environmental effects on health includes articles about reactions affecting the central nervous system dating back to 1908. The report and bibliography were written by Bruce Small and Associates for Health and Welfare Canada in 1988.

Politicians Betray

Posted 22 May 2009 - 2:48pm

Some politicians will quite casually lie in ways that cause thousands of deaths. Most will turn a blind eye to damaging statements from their party if doing otherwise means acknowledging previous liability. When told of harm caused by their colleagues, politicians such as Paul Dewar launch into an ad hominem defence, diverting attention while vulnerable persons continue to be needlessly killed.

Human Rights Officials Sabotage

Posted 22 May 2009 - 5:13pm

Agencies of remedy exploit peoples' terror, telling persons with diagnosed sensitivities that they will be shunned unless they they help cover up agency mistakes that are contributing to the ongoing killing of persons with undiagnosed sensitivities. Bureaucrats like Jennifer Lynch occasionally acknowledge and deal with the accommodation of office workers, but they ignore federal government contributions to preventable Section 216 killings in government health facilities and Section 217.1 injuries there and elsewhere. The Canadian Human Rights Commission forwards a revisionist history that, like hate literature, encourages the commission of crimes against the group by disguising the extent of previous government acknowledgement and action on legal responsibilities.

Funders Misuse Research

Posted 22 May 2009 - 5:26pm

Researchers at the University of Toronto accepted money and pretended that things already known were not known. They accepted money to research things they knew or ought to have known were impossibly defined. They allow the damaging misinterpretation of their work by funders. Researchers typically discredit persons with sensitivities when their own search fails, or when people with a compendium of disorders show no tendency toward a mean.

Even the Best Will Let You Down

Posted 22 May 2009 - 5:44pm

In an environment of abuse by authorities, nearly everyone, including people you thought you could trust, survive as best they can, as often as not by betraying others to their deaths. Sometimes they call it "taking the high road." PSIO Ed Keyserlingk summarized a complaint as health officials "not doing enough to help" when in fact the complaint was that health officials were lying about the availability of a publicly-insured, legally-obligating method of diagnosing and thereby protecting patients from being injured or killed by acts of commission in government health facilities.

Cities and Sensitivities

Posted 23 May 2009 - 10:49am

When approached, a couple of Councillors with the City of Ottawa asked for a summary of municipal concerns. The result is the attached PowerPoint, addressed to the City of Ottawa. It applies to most cities in Ontario and, to a lesser extent, to cities across Canada. The presentation is also available in pdf format.

One of the greatest concerns is that municipal public health officials contribute to damages by eclipsing the history of persons with sensitivities behind controversy about the recent additional theories of so-called "doctors of environmental medicine."

Submission to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health (2005)

Posted 23 May 2009 - 11:03am

The Public Service Integrity Officer, Dr. Ed Keyserlingk, says public servants are afraid to speak out about abuse. Certainly several are remaining silent about this unethical and damaging eclipse, quoting retribution as their reason.

Dr. Keyserlingk wrote to the former Deputy Minister of Health, Ian Green, about sensitivities a year ago. He wrote on his mandate concerning "actions that may endanger the Health of Canadians."
