CIRS/Mold Biotoxin Illness
Are biotoxins the root cause of your health issues?
Biotoxin Illness or mold sickness is a multi-system inflammatory response to the exposure of biotoxins affecting the entire body. Biotoxins are hazardous organic substances usually found in water damaged buildings, that can cause significant damage to your health.

Instead these toxins live and circulate in the body, triggering chronic inflammatory immune responses.
