In this podcast episode, the speakers delve into the complexities of diagnosing Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and the limitations of urine mycotoxin testing. Dr. Aaron Hartman critiques urine testing for its unreliability, influenced by diet and not reflecting immune response, advocating instead for blood testing to provide a clearer health picture. Dr. Jenski adds insights on the role of bacterial components in water-damaged buildings and stresses the need for thorough professional evaluations. They discuss practical solutions like HEPA filters and non-toxic cleaning methods to improve indoor air quality. Both emphasize a comprehensive, individualized approach to diagnosing and treating CIRS.
