From the FDA
Drug by definition:
What about fragrances when they target our brains and brain functions, including moods and perceptions?
From the fragrance industry:
To use fragrance technology to transmit feelings directly to the brain
???
That sounds a lot like drugs to me!
∴
From the FDA… Is it a drug?

Very few doctors have been taught about how environmental exposures to chemicals, molds, wireless radiation, and EMF fields impact our health. People are experiencing all kinds of adverse health effects from exposures, yet all too often remain undiagnosed and unable to address the true causes of their ill health or functional disabilities.
This is costing society dearly, hence it’s imperative that more people learn about all of the possible causes in order to prevent suffering, and save time, energy, and money.
Fortunately now, we have more resources for health-care practitioners, created by professionals who have been researching and treating the adverse health effects of wireless technologies. These presentations discuss the types of symptoms and conditions that are known to be affected by EMF/EMR and offer current knowledge and practices of how to deal with them.
Please watch, learn, and share the links with your health care teams.

Bad news!
I wonder how many people commit suicide due to pharmaceutical drugs that are prescribed?
How many of the doctors whose patients commit suicide due to the pharmaceuticals they prescribed are disciplined?
Dr. Armstrong has helped a lot of people over the years, people that other doctors were unable to help, or worse, subjected to harm.
Finding doctors that don’t harm people with environmental and chemical “sensitivities” (from ignorance, disbelief, or even inadvertently, while others take their oath to do no harm as an excuse to do nothing) is nearly impossible. Too many of us are forced to go without health care as a result.
Although it seems that her approach was lacking in this case (we don’t have all the details), and my condolences go out to the family who lost a loved one, in addition to the hypocrisy of not disciplining other types of doctors after patient suicides, the closing statement in the article is propaganda that will inflict harm on people whose needs are not being served by the current system:
“Critics, including many doctors, say sometimes there’s no evidence that something is dangerous because it actually isn’t dangerous, and trying to find environmental sources for particular afflictions can mean ignoring real problems.”
The critics are usually from the petroleum/pharmaceutical industry and have a lot to lose if MCS/ES is officially understood.
All too often now, ignoring the man-made environmental sources of adverse health effects means ignoring the real problems, and countless people, including children, are suffering as a result.

Someone shared a very good PDF handout with me the other day, one that I had never seen before. It gently explains to people why there is a problem with fragrance, why people may need to avoid fragrances, that it is not the smell, it’s not personal, and a few other bits of helpful information The resource links are old and could be updated (somehow), but it’s otherwise a great tool to share with people who don’t understand.
I can’t find a link to share it from elsewhere, so I am posting it here to make it easily available.

It should be illegal to sell products that disperse secret, unregulated, ingredients into the air people have to breathe, especially children.
Children need clean air to breathe! Clean air is air without petrochemicals in it.
These things emit hazardous chemicals. It is not cute or fresh to poison kids!
It’s time to stop and think about what is going into the air we expect children to breathe.
Breathing is not optional!
When children’s hospitals enact policies banning fragrance use on their premises, you know there are good reasons to be concerned:
