CIRS: Neuroinflammation in Clinical Practice Part 1

In one of Dr. Andrew Heyman's lectures addressing Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, or CIRS, he goes deeper into this illness that potentially affects 20% of the population. In this lecture, Dr. Andrew Heyman gives the tools and tests that clinics can use to help identify Chronic Inflammation for those that are genetically susceptible.

She is almost healed. Grain/dairy-free. LOTS of magnesium, Vitamin D, multi, Biocidin, digestive enzymes, natural dessicated thyroid, LDN, and finally...NeuroProtek (NP).

[@leestevenson2873]

Yes I was and it was the final straw. It took me years to start healing because the information in this video was not out there. A lot of this information is on my blog but I and many others had to work together on Facebook figuring out how to heal. I am glad to see they are figuring it out now. I got ill even though I lived in a moldy environment. Then I had to get a Dtap shot for my job. I got very ill then next day and I just kept getting sicker and sicker. I ended up getting diagnosed with Lyme which did makes sense because most of my life I would experience boughts of mental confusion for no reason. They gave me antibiotics and I started feeling better. But after a while they would quit working and they would have to change them. Will all antibiotics quit working after a while and the Lyme made me so ill that they had to rush me in an ambulance. They gave me an IV of cipro. I felt better after a few hours. I thought finally I am rid of this Lyme. Then after a couple days all heck broke lose. My health started to dramatically declined and if I wouldn't have posted my symptoms on Facebook and someone had recognized them I most likely would still be bedridden. I was bedridden for months while I an many others worked together figuring out how to heal from it. I still have symptoms come up once in a while but I am almost healed from them. I still live in a moldy environment and it doesn't effect me. I am very careful about getting bit with ticks now though. What I believe set all this off is I ran a coal fired furnace. They refused to supply us with respirators so their was not way to avoid breathing in the smoke and dust from it. Most others who ran it died from strokes or heart attacks. I seen what was happening to them so I quit and found another job but things never seemed quit right. I believe the coal fired boiler was the trigger to set things in motion.

Dr Heyman was at the 2019 Fort Lauderdale Mold Congress where the offer was made for these "Shoemaker doctors" to proceed in connecting CIRS with the Holmes 1988 "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome". Which is an official CDC created syndrome so they obviously recognize their own creation as medically valid. As opposed to CIRS that is nothing more than a name invented by Dr Shoemaker. Dr Heyman and the group declined to act on the offer. Perhaps they fail to understand that "Mold at Ground Zero for CFS" means that toxic mold is part of the CFS syndrome. Or maybe they think that they are such Mighty Gods of Medicine that they can get the CDC to accept CIRS and throw out CFS. For whatever reason, their lack of response indicates low comprehension that a doctors duty is to "respond to evidence" and "connect the dots" My confidence in the Shoemaker group was misplaced. They don't deserve to be trusted.
