CIRS is a complex, multi-system illness caused by exposure to biotoxins, commonly found in water-damaged buildings, mold, or tick-borne diseases. It affects around 25% of the genetically predisposed. CIRS can manifest in various symptoms, often affecting multiple systems in the body, making it challenging to diagnose without the help of a certified CIRS practitioner.

The symptoms of CIRS can vary, but common ones include chronic fatigue, brain fog, muscle and joint pain, headaches, respiratory difficulties, gastrointestinal issues, and heightened sensitivity to light and sound. Dr. Shoemaker identified 13 symptom clusters, and patients typically need to exhibit at least 8 (or 6 for children) for a diagnosis, which should be made in collaboration with a certified CIRS doctor.

A proper diagnosis requires working closely with a certified CIRS doctor or practitioner who will thoroughly analyze your symptoms alongside specific tests. These tests measure inflammatory markers and immune function, as the Shoemaker Protocol outlines. An accurate diagnosis is vital to creating an effective treatment plan.

Treatment typically follows the Shoemaker Protocol, which begins with removing exposure to biotoxins and then follows a step-by-step approach to reducing inflammation, detoxifying the body, and building resilience. A certified CIRS doctor will guide you through this process, and our resources, including biohacking tools and neuroplasticity techniques, can complement the medical treatment to help you heal more efficiently.

Yes, because CIRS symptoms can mimic those of other illnesses such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, allergies, and depression, it is crucial to work with a certified CIRS practitioner. They can distinguish between CIRS and other conditions, ensuring that the appropriate treatment is provided.

The CIRS Guide offers a wealth of resources that complement your treatment under the guidance of a certified CIRS doctor. These include expert-led mastermind groups, biohacking tools, and personalized coaching. We also offer discounts on essential products and a supportive community of CIRS patients. These resources are designed to work in tandem with your medical treatment, guiding you step-by-step through your recovery journey.

The Shoemaker Protocol is the cornerstone of CIRS treatment. Developed by Dr. Shoemaker, this scientifically validated approach is carried out in partnership with your certified CIRS doctor. It involves identifying and removing biotoxin exposure, followed by a structured treatment plan to detoxify the body and reduce inflammation. Our resources help you understand and follow the protocol while integrating additional therapies to support your healing process.

Biohacking tools, such as red light therapy, sleep optimization devices, and detoxification methods, can be powerful adjuncts to the medical treatment prescribed by your CIRS practitioner. These tools help enhance your body’s natural healing processes and improve your overall health. We provide guidance on how to safely integrate biohacking strategies to complement the Shoemaker Protocol and your doctor’s recommendations.

Neuroplasticity techniques work alongside the treatment plan created by your certified CIRS practitioner. These methods, such as brain retraining exercises and the use of nootropics, help restore cognitive function, improve emotional regulation, and reduce symptoms like brain fog and anxiety. By working in tandem with your doctor, these techniques can enhance your overall recovery.

Yes, recovery is possible with proper guidance from a certified CIRS doctor and a comprehensive treatment plan. By following the Shoemaker Protocol and integrating complementary resources such as biohacking and neuroplasticity techniques, many patients experience significant improvements in their symptoms and quality of life. The CIRS Guide provides additional support and resources to help you on your journey, all while working closely with your healthcare provider.
