Protocol Overview

Comprehensive protocol combining environmental remediation, binders, detox support, and immune modulation for mold/mycotoxin illness. Goes beyond Shoemaker's cholestyramine to include multiple approaches.

Conditions Treated

Mold illness (CIRS)mycotoxin exposurechronic inflammation

Key Resources

Toxic by Neil Nathan, "Surviving Mold" by Shoemaker, Great Plains Labs mycotoxin testing, RealTime Labs

Safety Profile

Contraindications & Risks
Severe constipation with binders, bile duct obstruction, nutrient deficiencies if binders used long-term
Important Notes

Environmental removal is 80% of solution - can't detox if still exposed. HLA genetics determine who gets sick (24% of population susceptible). MARCoNS (multiple antibiotic resistant staph) in sinuses perpetuates CIRS. VIP nasal spray helps but hard to obtain. Binders are temporary - months not years. Many patients dramatically improve once out of moldy environment and using protocol. Great Plains and RealTime Labs offer mycotoxin testing.
