My message to the forgotten, to the medically complex.

You are not alone. You are worthy of people’s attention. You are worthy of healing.

And to all my fellow practitioners out there in the trenches, holding space for these people ❤️

Do you have a mystery illness? It is most likely Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). This condition occurs when your body struggles to detoxify after exposure to certain toxins. This inability to clear toxins triggers chronic inflammation, leading to a cascade of multi-symptom, multi-system dysfunctions as the body starts attacking itself instead of the toxin.

What biotoxins can trigger CIRS?
• Mold toxins from water-damaged buildings
• Lyme disease-causing bacteria (Borrelia burgdorferi)
• Dinoflagellates (found in some contaminated seafood)
• Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae in water)
• Fungal infections
• Actinomycetes (bacteria in wet environments)
• Mycobacteria
• Viruses like COVID
• Endotoxins (toxins released by certain bacteria)

If you suspect you might have CIRS, like I do, check out resources such as the CIRS Group Podcast and Judy Cho’s channel on YouTube—two separate platforms offering valuable insights. Additionally, visit SurvivingMold.com for further guidance and support.

Do you have a lot of pain in your body? Brain fog? Can’t lose weight? Can’t sleep? Full of anxiety that therapy and medication don’t seem to touch? Can’t seem to get better no matter what protocols or supplements or dietary changes you make? Do your big kids wet the bed? Have attention issues? Have behavioral issues? Have twitches? Have skin issues? You might have too many toxins floating in the air in your home. There are cheap plate tests you can get off Amazon but it doesn’t tell you what or how much of what is in your home. You could pay someone to run an air test in your home but it won’t get heavy toxins that don’t stay in the air (which is many of the real toxic ones). It will also only grab toxins in one area of the home where a dust test can get samples from all over the home. I’ve found the best testing for whether your home is low or high toxin is the dust tests by Envirobiomics. The quantitive results are great for narrowing down if and what kind of remediation or clean up is needed. Today I’m running the endo toxin, actino bacteria and the ermi (mold) tests to see the full picture of what we are breathing in. My space has to have a low score to have lasting healing. We’re going to mail this in and see what comes back! More to come…. Get your tests at www.envirobiomics.com More info about CIRS at survivingmold.com ***these statements are based on my experience and research and are in no way medical or professional advice #chronicinflammatoryresponsesyndrome #ermi #envirobiomics
