∙ Brain fog and low productivity ∙ Irritable Bowel Syndrome

How does mold and other water damaged building toxins(WDBT) cause illness?

These toxins produce poisonous substances called endotoxins which can be toxic for humans when they are inhaled and occasionally eaten. In genetically susceptible individuals even a small amount of endotoxins can adversely impact human health.

Where are the water dammed building toxins(WDBT) found?

The musty odor attributed to mold actually comes from an associated bacteria called Actinomyces. Although mold and actinomyces start growing due to some kind of water entry into the house. The mold spores and the bacteria themselves will persist once the water damaged area has dried. Some of the common points of entry are through the leaky roofs and windows, basements, and leaky bathroom faucets and bathtubs.

What can WDBT do to humans?

WDBT exposure symptoms generally may be grouped in two ways, acute or chronic. The symptoms are shared by all CIRS patients. Acute exposure to large amounts of toxins will generally present symptoms that are very severe and quick to show up, however, symptoms from low doses over an extended period can result in more serious health issues and be far more difficult to pinpoint to exposure. These common gradually and progressively get worse with every re-exposure. This is the phenomenon we call Sicker-quicker.

How do I know if I have WDBT related CIRS?

Environmental, genetic and blood testing is essential to diagnose etiology of CIRS.

Many of the main symptoms are:

∙ Fatigue

∙ Memory and/or concentration issues ∙ Immune dysfunction

∙ Gastrointestinal complaints/disruptions

How is WDBT related CIRS treated?

An OWM Integrative Wellness, Dr. Kim Howes’ and Dr Kaplan’s extensive training, and experience with CIRS illness ensures that clients undergo a thorough root cause analysis. They offer comprehensive cutting-edge treatment and metabolic support that leads our clients to wellness.

What to know before you go:

• Water damaged building toxins or WDBTs include mold and bacteria

• Together they cause a chronic inflammatory stress response or CIRS

• 70% of CIRS is caused by bacteria call Actinomyces and not mold

• WDBTs can develop as a result of undetected leaks, old and ongoing flood damage

• A person can carry Actinomyces on their skin from one household to another and continue to reinfect themselves

• OWM’s sophisticated and comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach eliminates further exposure to WDBTs and guides clients toward recovery

The Experience

The OWM approach includes intensive investigation, specialized testing, and natural integrative therapeutic interventions that are not performed in traditional medical offices. OWM Integrative Wellness Clinic will guide you from start to finish on the journey of recovery from this challenging and typically unrecognized illness:

GENIE Testing

This advanced genetic test is used for the diagnosis of an individual's toxin exposure and its effects on various aspects of their metabolism and anatomy.

MARCONS Nasal Swab Testing

A special test is performed in our office to diagnose the presence of MARCONS in the nasal passages. This infection is frequently present as a result of mold and water damaged related toxin-related illness and secretes toxins that further exacerbate CIRS.

Comprehensive Lab Work Up

Specialized blood analysis is used to assist in the diagnosis of CIRS and is then followed to make that all abnormal markers are normalized with our therapy.

Removal Therapy Phase

This phase focuses on removing offending infections and toxins to clear a path to recovery: Welchol is used to pull circulating toxins from the body. A nasal spray is used to eradicate frequently coexisting MARCONS nasal infections. Home remediation and cleaning to reduce ongoing toxin exposure.

Reparative Therapy Phase

We use advanced techniques to guide a cellular repair and energy production that is damaged by the CIRS illness: Intravenous infusion of essential amino acids, antioxidants, and energy substrates such as NAD. Intravenous ozone and ozone dialysis are used to improve brain and body cell oxygenation, energy production, and repair. Peptide therapy is used for the promotion of repair of CIRS-related cellular damage.

Vasointestinal Peptide Therapy

This therapy is the final stage of the Dr. Shoemaker CIRS protocol and is used to help repair injured brain and nervous system cells. VIP therapy can only be started once all the previous phases of treatment have been completed.
