  • 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..

  • What do your genetics mean for chronic illness?

    For more information, visit https://thecirsgroup.com

    CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, is a genetic illness. Your genes don’t mean you’re doomed, but being aware of them will help you avoid the triggers that together could cause you chronic illness like CIRS, chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, and more. Today we’ll dig into what those genetic haplotypes are, what they mean, and how you can help yourself and your family avoid chronic illness no matter what your genes might say. For more information, support, and resources in your own CIRS healing journey, visit TheCIRSGroup.com

About The CIRS Group Podcast

From the publisher's feed

CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, can happen to 25% of the population and is usually triggered by a biotoxin in the environment, like mold, red tide, lyme (tick bite), and even some medical interventions. Those with CIRS are susceptible to these toxins and cannot clear them on their own. Thankfully, treatment is possible, but given that people suffering with CIRS have difficulty processing new information, we created The CIRS Group and now, this podcast, to help people better understand and identify this treatable illness.
