1) An official recognition of the physical nature of the medical problem experienced by the patients suffering from environmental sensitivities and to recognize it as a disability.
2) An official recognition that due to these medical problems, a large portion of these patients may be unable to perform remunerated work.
3) As a result of the above 2, disability insurance companies and Regie des Rentes, should recognize the work limitations and compensate the patients, WITHOUT undue burden of proof on the patients who are already sick enough.
4) A wide information campaign to doctors of all specialties (and mostly GP's and internists) to inform them of the reality of these problems and the TRUE nature of the PHYSICAL cause of these symptoms, to eliminate the all too prevalent belief that these patients suffer from psychological disease.
5) The establishment of environmental clinics in Quebec, with adequately trained physicians and personnel (these doctors and nurses may go to train in large centers).
6) The doctors practicing in these environmental clinics should be allowed to apply treatments approved and recognized elsewhere, yet at present forbidden in Quebec (ex: IV vitamin treatments). We don't need doctors who will simply recognize the problem but have no ability to treat it...this doesn't help anybody. The rules of the College des Médecins will have to be amended.
7) Recognition of these treatments by health authorities so that patients can obtain them, despite the economic hardships imposed by the illness.
8) The creation of safe housing for patients needing it.
9) Perfume free policies and enforcement in hospitals, clinics and all other medical facilities.
