Safety Profile
Shoemaker described CIRS and its treatment sequence. Cholestyramine is FDA-approved for high cholesterol and some itching from bile problems; its use for mold illness is off-label and supported mainly by Shoemaker's own studies. CIRS is not widely accepted in mainstream medicine. Leaving the exposure comes first. Insurance may not cover testing.
