appropriated medical tests. There are a series of criteria to be fulfilled to make a confident clinical diagnosis of poisoning by chemicals. The following criteria have to be fulfilled: 1. The subject was fit and well prior to chemical exposures. 2. There is evidence of exposure to the putative chemicals and toxins. 3. The subject initially developed local symptoms which became worse with repeated exposures. 4. With repeated exposures a typical clinical picture emerges characterised by chronic fatigue syndrome, immune disruption (allergies, autoimmunity, susceptibility to infections), accelerated ageing (so the sufferer gets diseases before their time), neuro-degeneration, diabetes and cancer. 5. Similar patterns of disease are seen in other people working under similar conditions. 6. Similar fact evidence from other subjects who have been poisoned such as the Gulf War veterans, sheep dip poisoned farmers, aerotoxic pilots. 7. There is laboratory evidence of poisoning and effects of that poisoning. 8. There are no other possible explanations for this pattern of symptoms. 9. There is a response to treatment with clinical improvements as a result of detoxification, nutritional and immune support.
