Network writes Quebec Minister of Health regarding report on MCS that misrepresents ME and FM
On March 11, 2022, the National ME/FM Action Network wrote the Quebec Minister of Health regarding a report prepared by the Quebec National Institute of Public Health and posted on the Quebec government website. While the topic of the report was Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, the report commented on ME and FM as well. In a nutshell, the report associated ME, FM and MCS with chronic anxiety and other psychiatric issues.
In our letter, we point out that the US, the UK, Europe and Ontario have all looked at ME recently and chosen a biomedical model rather than a psychiatric model. We have asked the Minister to remove the report from the Quebec website and reconsider how Quebec is viewing ME, FM and MCS.
