LETTER
Controversy over Multiple Chemical Sensitivities
Robert D. Byers, MD
1 February 1994 | Volume 120 Issue 3 | Pages 249-251
TO THE EDITOR:
How can we, as readers, have confidence in this journal when it publishes the article by Simon and colleagues [1] discussing factors of multiple chemical sensitivity? They receive grants from the Boeing Company, which must have a huge vested interest in disproving the existence of multiple chemical sensitivity.
Please explain how this is unbiased.
