What do my genes say about me? CIRS and mold reactions explained by your GENES!

For more information, visit https://thecirsgroup.com
CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, is an illness usually caused by your genes. But there are two different genetic based tests you can get! One to determine your Genetic HLA Haplotype, and one to see what genes are up or down regulated. Both inform your treatment to varying degrees, so today we want to help you understand which does what and whether these tests make sense for you.

What if you can't see a doctor? Hope for healing for international and financially limited patients

For more information, visit https://thecirsgroup.com
CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, is already a complicated illness with a complicated treatment plan. For those outside the United States, access to care can be even more difficult. If you are struggling to find a doctor who can see you or get access to parts of the Shoemaker Protocol, this episode is for you. Though we still believe, based on decades of research, that the Shoemaker Protocol is the gold standard to heal from CIRS or mold illness, we are so happy to know that there are alternatives you may be able to pursue while you wait to see a doctor (or perhaps don’t have access to one where you live).

Special Halloween episode! Maybe it's paranormal... or maybe it's mold

For more information, visit https://thecirsgroup.com
CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, is an illness fit for horror movies - and guess what? Mold is quite often the star of the show. Today we do a silly episode (with some helpful bits, we think!) all about Jacie’s favorite movie genre: horror, and how biotoxins often play major role in our scary movies (and lives!). We tried not to spoil too many of these films, so we hope you enjoy whether you’ve seen some of these movies or not..
