I couldn’t even continue to read till the end because I just wanted to say I’ve been down this road. My whole family was sick with CIRS one child w Lyme was particularly effected by the mold. I too had a consultation w Dr. Shoemaker. Put him on speaker and have a scribe with you. He is terrifyingly intelligent and with brain fog, it’s hard to comprehend everything he says.

I’m happy to speak directly to you as a fellow sufferer. It was the hardest part of my life and happy to say we are healed. Forever changed and vigilant but much much healthier. Please let me know if I can help or support you in any way. The Lord’s blessing to you dear Celia for health and healing.

Me, too, Celia. But I am now nearly 100% healed. In my case, the traditional, establishment lab stool samples "missed" finding, gasp, 6 parasites, 2 worms + eggs, and candida - ALL living "on top" of the mold. Once my naturopath killed them off first (6 months) we then proceeded to kill the mold from below my neck (90 days). Done. We are now in the final weeks of treating my eyes, sinuses and brain. We are using Natacyn eye drops (much cheaper from Canada) and BEG compounded nasal spray. My vision and brain fog are now finally on the mend. Hugs and prayers to you, Celia, on this most difficult journey!

Celia! You have given the world so much with your research and writing.

So - no advice - just support.

And a prayer that you find the promised land.

Thank you. For sharing so poignantly how you are coping, understanding, and healing from obstacles that deter you from living well, thank you. I have not heard of CIRS, and look forward to learning more about it. You will make an excellent ambassador. 💕

You'll likely receive hundreds of advice comments on this one, Celia! So I will skip any advice giving.

What I want to say is that my partner and I have lived our own versions of your wild medical (alternative and conventional) journey. One step along that road involved an extended mold exposure that flattened us both (and our two cats ... very tough).

Anyway, my partner found Cholestyramine to be of profound benefit. I'm not at all sure where she'd be now without having taken it a good long while, rather religiously. Having been pummeled by western medicine for decades, she'd mostly sworn off it. But she was in dire condition, and Richie Shoemaker's books gave hope. Cholestyramine it was, and it was a great boon for her.

Okay - one 'advice' point. My partner found the Cholestyramine WITH sugar more effective for her system than the version with some other kind of sweetener. She tried both - there was, for her a notable difference in efficacy.

Wishing you tremendous success, a day at a time, because clearing these things can take time. But we already know you have what it takes - sufficient patience, barrels of fortitude, and lots of loving support from all sides ... and, damn, you've even got a rooster now!

Big love and all the best ~

Good luck with your treatment, Celia. Really enjoy your writing. Your story about the rooster was delightful, witty, and a day brightener - thanks for sharing! The pictures were awesome. A beautiful rooster in many ways!

I love your rooster. Thank you for this essay. After three out of five people in my household had strange illnesses for our age, I outgrew the old paradigm and began to consider all environmental exposures together -- the unique interaction that perhaps cannot be untangled in each of us. Our new electromagnetic reality now contains frequencies unknown to us and changing at all times. These frequencies are not labeled, and We The People are unable to measure the synthetic waves as we move about. We have no idea how they impact us, although the science is very clear. These frequencies confound all previous Knowledge on heavy metals and toxins, including mold. New frequencies explain flu-like and covid-related illness prior to injection campaign rollout. Different frequencies 'cause' different things to happen and to grow, mold included. Changing the frequencies in our surroundings changes our microbiomes. Main conclusion of this epidemiologist: no amount of ancestral nutrition or supplementation or positive intent can make up for the harmful effects of ongoing chemical and/or electromagnetic poisoning, or the biological results from their changing and infinite interactions. Alternative medicine is better in one way -- the patient is not gaslit. This feels SO good -- to be listened to, but there is little recovery happening, even in alternative medicine! This is because we are being poisoned, in an ongoing fashion, via water, food and now atmospheric chemicals and frequencies that are not even acknowledged. Alternative medicine fails to account for ongoing poisoning, and until this is addressed, recovery is not likely, even if everybody were to shift to alternative medicine. The most reasonable recovery attempt is to eliminate any metal in one's mouth and body, wireless from one's surroundings, and give the body rest, clean water, nutrients and time. I love the new biology / terrain concepts and science of water, but doubt that these concepts can overcome military-grade operations bombarding synthetic frequencies, pulsed and beamed. I keep wondering: is it possible to express freedom if poisoned?

I know a lot about CIRS and toxic mold, all learned the hard way over 22 years. Too much to write. You can call me. 24% of the population has a genetic marker for inability to process toxins in their body, related to glutathione, so they accumulate. Ozone treatment helps. I went to a doc for IV ozone but then bought my own equipment to do at home more frequently - rectally, also in ears and can make ozonated water. You might want to test for SIBO and get a stool sample and maybe genomic test to compensate for genetic issues. You should take a vacuum sample from your house for an ERMI test - Environmental Relative Moldiness Index and send to EMSL. It doesn't go by location so much as building materials and water intrusion. I had impaired executive function. I would write about real things that happened, timeline of mold exposure, etc but NOT theoretical pieces with logical sequences. There's lots more. I was an advocate for the Global Indoor Health Network and testified in DC Council about mold in building. I am in a condo building where I don't have control over the common elements, they denied mold and retaliated against me. I will write you directly so you can call me.

Hi Celia, glad to read we, all of us are not alone. It;s a journey. Always more to learn. As long as i improve, I don;t care if I am ever "alright" again. No one is alright.

Judy Cho rocks. She is how I found Grant Genereux

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OC4dwGp8Q0

and

Garrett Smith

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iix5vSYu8Gg

They prove out the mechanisms behind all the intoxicants, mercury, mold, vitamin A,............

Grant's living his experiment improving from worse brain inflammation symptoms than you. Do well as you can with CIRS protocols and keep learning.

I just finished 12 years of paleo/keto and am now 4 months back into 40/30/30 diet. probably more like 20/50/30. I might be even lower on carbs. What I'm finding is that some carbs help via fiber. Soluble fiber makes it possible to dump toxic bile out of the colon before it is reabsorbed (with the toxins) back into the bloodstream and liver.

I found keto cpmbined with intermittent fasting relieved most symptoms - until I started eating organ meats. Then I learned about Paul Saladino's problems as he migrates from keto carnivore to getting crazier with fruit and honey and meat and organs eating nose to tail. Then I learned about Shawn Baker being wrecked in bed 3 days after eating an apple.

What I think we;re all learning is that it's not about this or that toxin so much as what and how the toxins impair our immune and detox mechanisms. Case in point:

https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/conversation-with-dr-sabine-hazan

Who would have thunk that cv984 and the vax ruin the bifido content of our colons?

So all my advice is please keep learning and telling us what you find out. 30 years ago Mercola was my doc and he was learning and changing his views on these same topics. It all keeps going. You keep going too please.

BTW, you need to get that bird some girlfriends. Just make sure they are younger so they learn who is boss first. Too bad his former owners sent a boy to do a mans job. If they had let him mature better before sending him in, he probably would have done well. You might be surprised how easy it is to raise 3 chicks into pullets and integrate them into your yard. he will help you too.

As a chicken person, I think the hens attacked the rooster because he was so young. Chickens can be brutal when another chicken(s) are introduced. I learned the hard way!

Our first rooster was a volunteer - he was literally walking down the road when he found our flock. The hen lowest in the pecking order, named Penny, was very flirty with him. She would rub back and forth along the gate and coo at him. The first night he roosted on our back porch. The next morning I walked down to the chicken area and opened the gate. The rooster walked in and the 'head' hen flew at him, aggressively, three times and then it was fine. Penny, was now following Rodney the rooster everywhere! I'd close them in at night and she'd be squished on the roost next to him. Unfortunately, a few weeks later he sacrificed himself trying to protect them from a fox. I have mad respect for roosters.

We now have a rooster named Ted. He's gorgeous and the hens seem to like him.

As for your health, I'm praying for you and your new doctor. I've never heard of CIRS, I'm off to learn more.

I am filled with admiration for you, Celia. That you could live and labor under such an affliction, and still bless all of us with your insight, wisdom and heart...! How you do it all — do what you do — is a (beautiful!) mystery to me. All I can do is send you LOVE and bless you for educating all of us in what it is like to somehow manage with a brain and body that doesn’t always cooperate the way that it “should.”

PLEASE DON’T add this to your “to do” list — you don’t need that!! But for those reading here who are interested, I did talk about Celia’s book in my latest Rumble video: https://rumble.com/v2etfz2-all-in-for-trump-now-harold-rosen-celia-farber-and-more-episode-112.html
