Mold & Biotoxin Illness (CIRS)

Specialized treatment for chronic inflammatory response syndrome and biotoxin-related conditions.

Expert CIRS & Mold Illness Treatment

Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is a complex, multi-system illness caused by exposure to biotoxins, most commonly from water-damaged buildings. Our team has extensive experience diagnosing and treating mold-related illness using evidence-based protocols.

Many patients with CIRS have been misdiagnosed or told their symptoms are "all in their head." We understand the complexity of this condition and use advanced diagnostics to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment.

Important Note

CIRS treatment requires a comprehensive approach. Patients with mold illness often have overlapping conditions that need to be addressed simultaneously. Our team evaluates the full clinical picture before developing your treatment plan.

Advanced Diagnostics

Precision Testing for Biotoxin Illness

Our comprehensive biotoxin panel goes far beyond standard lab work. We utilize specialized testing to identify the specific biotoxins affecting your health, assess genetic susceptibility, and measure inflammatory markers unique to CIRS.

From Visual Contrast Sensitivity (VCS) testing to HLA-DR genetic analysis, our diagnostic approach provides the detailed picture needed to create an effective, personalized treatment protocol.

Our CIRS Protocol

Our treatment approach follows evidence-based protocols and includes comprehensive diagnostic testing, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing monitoring.

1

Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing

We begin with a thorough biotoxin panel including Visual Contrast Sensitivity (VCS) testing, genetic susceptibility assessment (HLA-DR), inflammatory markers, and a complete evaluation of your exposure history.

2

Genetic Susceptibility Assessment

HLA-DR genetic testing identifies whether you carry genes that make it difficult for your immune system to recognize and eliminate biotoxins, which is a key factor in developing CIRS.

3

Binder Protocols & Detoxification

Based on your test results, we implement targeted binder protocols to help your body safely eliminate biotoxins. This includes cholestyramine or other binders tailored to your specific needs.

4

Environmental Remediation Guidance

We provide guidance on proper environmental testing and remediation to ensure your living and working spaces are safe. Continued exposure will undermine treatment progress.

5

Multi-System Treatment Approach

CIRS affects multiple body systems. We address each affected system — immune, neurological, hormonal, and inflammatory — with targeted interventions as part of your comprehensive treatment plan.

6

Ongoing Monitoring & Lab Tracking

Regular follow-up visits and repeat lab testing allow us to track your progress, adjust treatment as needed, and ensure you are moving toward full recovery.
