Topic: Environmental Medicine

	Introduction, environmental medicine
		Environmental medicine does not focus on how to cure the disease, but rather on explaining the cause of disease in an environmental context.
		Although environmental medicine may be defined simply as the interaction between risk factors and human health, this definition includes a wide variety of risk factors, a wide variety of diseases and a wide variety of genetic predispositions for disease.
		There are two different ways of approaching environmental medicine; to hide ones head in the sand like the proverbial ostrich or to analyse the problem with the sharp eyes of an owl, thus enabling the prevention of ill health.

		Environmental therapy, also known as environmental medicine and formerly called clinical ecology, is the diagnosis and treatment of conditions caused by environmental factors.
		Environmental therapists believe that new medical problems have arisen due to the immune system's inability to handle all of the new pollutants and synthetic chemicals to which it is exposed.
		Environmental medicine recognizes that some new and baffling illnesses have appeared that conventional medicine either does not recognize or is unable to treat, sometimes called "twentieth century diseases." These conditions include environmental illness/multiple chemical sensitivity (EI/MCS), chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Gulf War syndrome, and sick building syndrome.
