Visit the Taylor & Francis Web site at http://www.taylorandfrancis.com and the CRC Press Web site at http://www.crcpress.com This volume is massive because the new information seals the mechanism of diagnosis and treatment of chemical sensitivity, which now should be classified as a real disease entity. Thus, this volume is dedicated to all the chemically sensitive patients who have suffered from poor determination for their diagnosis and treatment. It is also dedicated to all the physicians and scientists who were much maligned for treating these patients.
