Mould and Biotoxin Illness

---

CIRS is an acute and chronic, systemic inflammatory response syndrome acquired following exposure to the interior environment of a water-damaged building with resident toxigenic organisms, including, but not limited to fungi, bacteria, actinomycetes and mycobacteria as well as inflammagens such as endotoxins, beta glucans, hemolysins, proteinases, mannans and possibly spirocyclic drimanes; as well as volatile organic compounds.

CIRS generally happens after exposure to the interior environment of a Water-Damaged Building which can house fungi, bacteria, mycobacteria, and actinomycetes. Inhaling these dangerous inflammagens is what makes people sick. Many patients with this condition have been overlooked by the general medical system as many of their conventional test return normal, regardless of the fact that the illness that cause them to lose their quality of life. People who live in the same house may be totally well as only around 25% of the population have a genetic susceptibility to develop this illness based on their immune response genes (HLA–DR). Every person’s innate immune system is uniquely coded and works differently for each one us.

A non-mould susceptible person has antibodies that will target the antigen and clear it out. That protection doesn’t happen in mould patients. It is a vicious cycle for them. The foreign antigens stay in the body, causing the immune system to constantly fight back. This causes so much inflammation in the body that it leads to many debilitating symptoms and chronic illness which can destroy a person’s quality of life. 

CIRS patients are often misdiagnosed with a myriad of other conditions. Some of the more common misdiagnosis that are actually CIRS include: 

• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 

• Fibromyalgia 

• Depression 

• Anxiety 

• ADHD 

• Alzheimer’s 

• PTSD 

• Allergies 

• Multiple Chemical Sensitivities
