Gloria Gilbere, N.D., D.A. Hom., Ph.D., Director, Naturopathic Health and Research Center, says about I Can Breathe! Masks:

"Multiple chemical Sensitivity Syndrome (MCSS) is Environmental Illness"

"Life with MCSS/EI takes on a New Meaning

"A combination of food and environmental sensitivities alters a life-style like no one can imagine unless actually experienced. Any environment beyond our control becomes a huge risk factor until the immune system detoxifies and repairs. People facing these challenges can get very discouraged. A new set of symptoms can emerge weekly, daily, even hourly.

"A stroll in a shopping mall, attending worship services, flying, a doctor’s office visit, a trip to the hairdresser, or having a repair-person come to your home is no longer predictable. One way to eliminate or drastically reduce your exposure is to wear a mask with charcoal filter. I wore several styles of heavy masks that were uncomfortable and unsightly, until I discovered a line made by ‘I can breathe’. They contain a disposable charcoal filter and have allowed me to travel, shop and resume quality of life. People actually stop me in airports and public places asking me where to get one. I use it when I go outdoors during the farmers’ field burning season and it completely protects me. They are so small and lightweight they fit in the palm of your hand and are as flexible as a handkerchief (see product resources). I now have clients purchasing them for all their airline travel, even those without MCS. It protects them from the barrage of germs, pesticides and germicides in a space with re-circulated air. It allows them to arrive at their destination without travelers ‘flu.’"
