At Patients Medical in New York City, we specialize in diagnosing and treating Environmental Illness, also known as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). This complex condition involves heightened sensitivity to low-level chemical exposures that are typically tolerated by others. Common triggers include synthetic fragrances, cleaning products, pesticides, building materials, and even certain foods or fabrics.
Our integrative team combines conventional diagnostics with holistic healing methods to uncover the root causes of your symptoms and provide long-term relief.
Comprehensive Evaluation & Testing:
We conduct thorough environmental and medical assessments, including toxin screening, immune function testing, and lifestyle analysis to pinpoint chemical triggers and assess your body’s detoxification capacity.
Personalized Holistic Treatment Plans:
Our approach may include detoxification protocols, nutritional support, immune system modulation, and therapies such as IV nutrients, sauna therapy, and acupuncture to reduce sensitivity and strengthen resilience.
Environmental Illness encompasses a range of symptoms triggered by exposure to environmental factors. Common symptoms include:
Identifying and avoiding triggers is crucial in managing Environmental Illness. Common environmental triggers include
We begin with an in-depth consultation, reviewing your complete medical history, lifestyle, and specific environmental exposures. This includes an analysis of your home, workplace, and possible chemical triggers that may be contributing to your symptoms. Advanced lab testing helps assess immune system function, toxin levels, and sensitivities. This evaluation is essential to formulating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique biochemical and environmental profile
Many individuals with Environmental Illness have compromised detoxification pathways. We implement customized detox protocols that may include IV nutrient therapy (such as glutathione, vitamin C, and chelating agents), infrared sauna therapy, and targeted supplements. These treatments are designed to support liver function, enhance cellular detoxification, and safely eliminate accumulated toxins from the body, reducing the overall toxic burden and improving systemic resilience
A clean, anti-inflammatory diet plays a vital role in supporting recovery. Our nutritional plans are customized based on food sensitivity testing, gut health, and nutrient deficiencies. We focus on whole, organic foods that reduce inflammation, stabilize blood sugar, and support immune function. Supplements such as antioxidants, probiotics, and essential fatty acids may also be recommended to help rebuild the body’s defenses and promote overall wellness.
Chronic stress can worsen symptoms of MCS and impair detoxification and immune responses. We incorporate stress-reduction therapies such as mindfulness meditation, guided breathing, acupuncture, and adaptogenic herbs to help regulate the nervous system. By addressing emotional and psychological stress, we support the body’s ability to heal and restore balance, while also improving energy levels, sleep, and mood.
Patients are guided on how to reduce or eliminate exposure to common household and environmental toxins. This includes choosing fragrance-free personal care products, switching to natural cleaning supplies, improving indoor air quality with HEPA filters, and avoiding off-gassing materials. We also educate patients on the importance of water filtration, electromagnetic frequency (EMF) hygiene, and creating a low-toxin home that supports healing and long-term health.
Linda, a 42-year-old graphic designer, came to Patients Medical after years of experiencing worsening symptoms she couldn’t explain. She had seen multiple specialists—neurologists, allergists, and internists—with little success. Her symptoms included chronic migraines, extreme fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and nausea. She noticed that they were particularly severe after exposure to perfumes, scented candles, cleaning chemicals, or being in freshly renovated buildings.
Her quality of life had deteriorated to the point where she was working remotely, avoiding public places, and struggling with daily activities. Friends and even previous doctors suggested her symptoms might be psychological, but Linda was determined to find real answers.
