Mold toxicity, also known as biotoxin illness, is a chronic condition caused by prolonged exposure to toxic molds and other harmful environmental toxins. These molds can grow in damp environments, such as water-damaged buildings, and release mycotoxins that trigger various health problems when inhaled or absorbed by the body.
Mold toxicity can lead to Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), a condition where the body’s immune system remains in a constant state of inflammation. Without proper treatment, mold toxicity can result in debilitating symptoms that affect your quality of life.
Dr. Olusegun Oseni, a Shoemaker Protocol Certified Physician, provides specialized care for individuals suffering from mold toxicity, CIRS, and related biotoxin illnesses, such as Lyme disease.
Symptoms of Mold Toxicity and Biotoxin Illness
Mold toxicity and biotoxin illness can present a wide range of symptoms that vary from person to person. Some common symptoms include:
- Fatigue and Weakness
- Cognitive Issues (Brain Fog, Memory Loss)
- Chronic Headaches or Migraines
- Shortness of Breath
- Muscle and Joint Pain
- Sinus Problems and Chronic Respiratory Issues
- Digestive Issues (IBS-like Symptoms)
- Mood Disorders (Anxiety, Depression, Irritability)
- Sensitivity to Light or Sound
- Unexplained Weight Gain or Loss
If you’ve experienced any of these symptoms, especially after exposure to water-damaged environments, it’s essential to seek expert evaluation and treatment.
Conditions Treated
At Lung & Sleep Specialists of North Texas, we provide comprehensive treatment for a range of biotoxin-related illnesses, including:
- Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)
CIRS is a multi-symptom, multi-system condition that occurs when the body fails to recover from biotoxin exposure, leading to chronic inflammation. CIRS affects numerous organs and systems, including the immune system, brain, and respiratory system. Dr. Oseni is highly experienced in diagnosing and treating CIRS using the Shoemaker Protocol. - Biotoxin Illness
Exposure to biotoxins from molds, bacteria, or algae can trigger long-term health issues. The buildup of these toxins in the body can overwhelm the immune system, causing ongoing inflammation and severe health consequences. Biotoxin illness is complex and requires a targeted approach to eliminate toxins and restore health. - Lyme Disease
Lyme disease, caused by a bacterial infection spread through tick bites, often presents with symptoms similar to mold toxicity. It can also trigger CIRS and biotoxin-related symptoms. Dr. Oseni provides advanced treatment for Lyme disease, helping to address both the underlying infection and its related biotoxin effects.
Shoemaker Protocol for Mold Toxicity and Biotoxin Illness
Dr. Olusegun Oseni is one of the only practitioners in Texas certified in the Shoemaker Protocol, a scientifically proven, evidence-based approach to diagnosing and treating mold toxicity and biotoxin illnesses like CIRS. Developed by Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, this protocol is the gold standard for biotoxin treatment.
The Shoemaker Protocol involves a multi-step process designed to identify the source of biotoxin exposure, eliminate toxins from the body, and reduce chronic inflammation.
Steps in the Shoemaker Protocol:
- Initial Evaluation and Diagnosis
Dr. Oseni begins with a thorough evaluation, including a detailed health history and lab tests to assess the extent of mold exposure and inflammation. Testing often includes HLA-DR genotyping, MARCoNS testing, and visual contrast sensitivity (VCS) testing. - Removing Exposure
A crucial step in treating mold toxicity is removing the source of exposure. Dr. Oseni will work with you to identify potential environmental sources of mold and biotoxins in your home or workplace, providing recommendations for remediation. - Detoxification
Once exposure is controlled, Dr. Oseni will prescribe binders and other detoxification agents, such as cholestyramine or Welchol, to help bind and remove biotoxins from the body. These agents work by binding to toxins in the digestive system and preventing them from being reabsorbed. - Addressing Chronic Inflammation
With the removal of biotoxins, Dr. Oseni will focus on reducing the ongoing inflammation caused by the immune system’s overreaction to biotoxins. This may include therapies like VIP nasal spray (vasoactive intestinal polypeptide) and other targeted anti-inflammatory treatments. - Hormonal and Immune Support
In some cases, mold toxicity and CIRS may disrupt hormone levels and immune function. Dr. Oseni incorporates integrative treatments to restore hormonal balance and strengthen the immune system, helping the body heal from within.
