A polysymptomatic condition believed by clinical ecologists to result from immune
dysregulation induced by common foods, allergens, and chemicals, resulting in various
physical and mental disorders. The medical community has remained largely skeptical
of the existence of this "disease", given the plethora of symptoms attributed to environmental
illness, the lack of reproducible laboratory abnormalities, and the use of unproven
therapies to treat the condition. (From Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992)
