Mold, and the associated toxins found in water damaged buildings, can cause serious and sometimes devastating illness. This manual consists of critical information, resources, and interactive tools to help patients navigate a successful path to long-term recovery. It is a detailed "road map" that will eliminate needless and costly detours, saving patients enormous amounts of time, energy, frustration, and money. There is a great deal of mis-information about mold illness and its treatment. Many patients are misdiagnosed and many, who have been correctly diagnosed, are not receiving adequate treatment. Mold Surviving and Thriving is filled with the critical, easy to understand, scientifically-validated information necessary to properly diagnose and effectively treat biotoxin illness. You will learn which tests are critical to reaching an accurate diagnosis, what protocol has been scientifically proven to successfully treat the illness, how to test your home, workplace or school, and how to avoid exposure to water-damaged buildings.
Thank you. I recently got diagnosed with CIRS; living in a place for 8 yrs that has been making me sick. My entire life changed, and for 8 years, I lived, worked from home, endured COVID, and thought I was in the safest place on Earth; my home. I found this book immediately after I was diagnosed. It has helped me mentally understand the truth gravity of the illness.
Due to cognitive fog and comprehension, my evaluation from the myotoxins team was 2.5 hours of overwhelm. This book gave me more peace and allowed the mental fires to be extinguished. Thank you for being in this field and for collaborating to write book.
We, the CIRS-25 (that's what I'm calling us today) are not crazy nor making any of our symptoms up. Your book helped me heal from the reality that I've been called crazy for 8 yrs and never agreed with anyone's perceptions of me. I knew something was wrong. This book helps me to communicate the words that now I have a hard time remembering exist.
There are helpful charts, lists, and letter templates in the appendices, but there's surprisingly little information about how and why the Shoemaker protocol works. There are bolded and capitalized paragraphs on almost every page for emphasis; the tone increased my anxiety without giving me information about how or why I needed to do the things they suggested. This is a helpful second resource if you're recovering from mold, but Neil Nathan's book _Toxic_ is far more helpful and clear.
