"Ritchie Shoemaker, M.D., a chemist as well as a medical doctor, developed the no-amylose diet as the result of spending more than two decades researching obesity and the acquisition of certain diseases due to chronic exposure to environmental neurotoxins."
(Please see details in comments)
"Dr. Sandeep Gupta is joined by Lyme expert Dr. Nicola McFadzean Ducharme about some practical tips and tools you can use if you have both Lyme-like illness/stealth infections and mold illness/chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS)."
"A chain of research reveals an interesting overlap between helminths, parasites and the evolutionary genetics of the MHC-II region. Furthermore, preliminary research identifies helminthic therapy as a possible treatment strategy to arrest the chronic inflammatory response, induced by mold and other biotoxins. It’s been proposed by Shoemaker and others that genetic variations in the HLA-II region (also known as MHC-II) within chromosome 6 is a significant risk factor for the development of CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome)."
This articles discusses peptide therapy as a possible solutions
"Naturopathic medicine has a lot to offer patients with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)/mold illness, which is a disease characterized by widespread inflammation, toxicity and chaotic immune system responses after exposure to toxic molds in water-damaged buildings and vehicles."
"Once it has been determined that CIRS is the most likely diagnosis that accounts for the majority of the challenging symptoms, the next step is to determine the treatments needed."
Dr. Jill interview with Dr. SHOEMAKER
CIRS AND MOLD
"CIRS due to mold exposure has a couple of characteristic markers, including high levels of
C4a – An activation protein that can cause inflammation, free radical production, and damage to tissues if too high.
TGF–beta1 – A cytokine in the immune system that has both anti– and proinflammatory effects.
MMP–9 – An enzyme that helps with tissue repair and is a significant marker of CIRS.
ACTH / Cortisol – A hormone that can be elevated and lead to weight gain in CIRS patients.
VEGF – A protein that causes blood vessel formation."
INFLAMMATION (C REACTIVE PROTEIN)
1. "The two findings, that CRP and VlsE antibodies can be used to differentiate PTLDS patients from other Lyme patients, are another indication of the complexity of Lyme disease."
2. "CRP: C-Reactive Protein is an inflammatory protein and the test measures it along with IL-6, another pro-inflammatory protein. They are both linked to chronic inflammatory health problems."
3. "Tests a Rheumatologist/GP should run include"
MMP-9
