STEP 1
Remove Mold Exposure
The first and most critical step is identifying and eliminating your exposure to mold from water-damaged buildings — either through professional remediation or temporary relocation while remediation is completed.
COMPREHENSIVE CARE
Mold Testing & Detox Treatment Plans
Chronic mold exposure can silently disrupt nearly every system in the body. Our medically guided Mold Detox program uses the evidence-based Shoemaker Protocol to identify, address, and reverse the effects of biotoxin illness — step by step.
The Shoemaker Protocol is a medically guided, step-by-step process designed to help individuals recover from Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) caused by mold and biotoxin exposure.
At Ellis Integrative Wellness, we use this protocol to guide personalized mold detox and CIRS recovery — combining lab testing, targeted therapies, and ongoing monitoring to restore your health at the root level.
THE SHOEMAKER PROTOCOL
STEP 2
Bind & Remove Toxins
Prescription binders such as Cholestyramine or Welchol are used to capture mold toxins in the gut and safely remove them from the body before they can be reabsorbed.
STEP 3
Treat Nasal Infections (MARCoNS)
A nasal swab screens for MARCoNS — multiple antibiotic-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci. If identified, a compounded prescription nasal spray is used to eliminate this persistent nasal colonization.
STEP 4
Reduce Chronic Inflammation
Mold toxins trigger persistent immune activation. Labs are closely monitored and targeted interventions are applied — including anti-inflammatory nutrition protocols, targeted supplementation, and medications when clinically indicated.
STEP 5
Correct Hormonal & Immune Imbalances
CIRS can dysregulate key hormones and immune markers including ADH, MSH, and VIP. These imbalances are corrected using diet adjustments, lifestyle interventions, and targeted prescriptions where clinically appropriate.
STEP 6
Restore Energy & Brain Function
As systemic inflammation resolves, cognitive symptoms like brain fog, memory difficulties, and fatigue begin to lift. VIP nasal spray may be introduced in later stages to support full neurological and metabolic recovery.
At Ellis Integrative Wellness, we use the Shoemaker Protocol to guide personalized mold detox and CIRS recovery, supporting each patient with compassionate, evidence-informed care at every stage of their healing journey.
