CAMBRIDGE FORUM explores the growing population of “sensitives” – a group of over 50 million Americans who endure an extraordinary sensitivity to environmental toxins. Exposure to chemicals, fragrances and even cell phone signals - can set off a reaction and symptoms can range from extreme fatigue to food intolerance, to brain fog. No one is born with this ailment, it often starts with a single toxic exposure but now with over 85,000 chemicals in our everyday environment, danger lurks around every corner. Victims often find their maladies problematic for doctors to treat and their symptoms are sometimes dismissed by family and friends. They can feel like outcasts. Journalist Oliver Broudy follows a group of EI sufferers who have sought out asylum in Snowflake, Arizona which has become a safe place for sensitives. A place they can live without fear of toxins or the judgment of others. This new wave of settler raises some serious questions about the high personal cost of our modern way of living and traces its parallels with other cultural groups like the Puritans, who fled to America to escape religious persecution. Sensitives are the latest exiles.
