MOLD Detox
Mold Detox with the Shoemaker Protocol
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.
How It Works:
- Remove Mold Exposure
The first step is identifying and eliminating exposure to mold from water-damaged buildings—either by remediation or relocation.
- Bind and Remove Toxins
Prescription binders like Cholestyramine or Welchol help remove mold toxins from the body by binding them in the gut.
- Treat Nasal Infections (MARCoNS)
A nasal swab identifies resistant staph bacteria. If present, it's treated with a prescription nasal spray.
- Reduce Inflammation
Mold toxins can trigger chronic inflammation. Labs are monitored, and targeted treatments—like anti-inflammatory diets, supplements, or medications—are used to calm the immune response.
- Correct Hormonal and Immune Imbalances
Mold can disrupt hormones like ADH and VIP, as well as immune markers. These imbalances are corrected using diet, lifestyle changes, and specific prescriptions when needed.
- Restore Energy and Brain Function
As inflammation clears, brain fog, fatigue, and other symptoms improve. VIP nasal spray may be used in later stages to support full recovery.
At Ellis Integrative Wellness, we use the Shoemaker Protocol to guide personalized mold detox and CIRS recovery.
