Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Environmentally-Acquired Illness - CIRS/ Mold/Lyme.

Diagnosis begins with comprehensive history and exposure assessment, symptom mapping, and functional labs (biomarkers, mycotoxin panels, Lyme serology and advanced testing). We combine environmental evaluation with clinical criteria to identify CIRS, mold toxicity, or Lyme and craft appropriate treatment strategies.

We use a multimodal approach including toxin-binding agents, liver and lymphatic support, targeted antimicrobial or anti-biofilm therapies when needed, immune modulation with botanicals and supplements, and remediation guidance to reduce ongoing exposure and support long-term recovery.

Recovery timelines vary widely—weeks to several years—depending on infection chronicity, toxin burden, immune status, and environmental remediation. Many patients notice early improvements within months; sustained recovery requires consistent treatment, exposure control, and lifestyle changes guided by ongoing assessment.

Yes. We assist by interpreting environmental test results, recommending certified remediators, providing remediation checklists, and offering clearance criteria. When needed we liaise with specialists, landlords, or employers to support removal of exposures and ensure a safe recovery environment.

Targeted testing is highly useful—mycotoxin panels, inflammatory markers, MARCoNS screening, Lyme PCR and specialty serology—but not always required. We combine labs with clinical evaluation to guide personalized treatment, and prioritize testing when results will change therapeutic decisions.

During the first visit we take an in-depth exposure and symptom history, perform relevant physical assessment, review prior labs, and outline diagnostic testing and a personalized care plan. You'll receive immediate supportive recommendations and a clear roadmap for follow-up and recovery.
