Mould Biotoxin Illness (CIRS)

Is the environment you live or work in making you sick?

 

Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) or Mould biotoxin illness is a complex chronic health issue that develops due to exposure to water-damaged buildings. Adrian brings a naturopathic approach which includes a deep evidence based understanding of western herbal medicine to manage CIRS.

Complex Illness

Complex illness involves a spectrum of disorders that are often difficult to diagnose and treat by traditional medical practitioners. A common diagnosis is myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or fibromyalgia. However, these labels typically don’t identify the underlying drivers of illness. Common underlying drivers may include chronic infections (e.g. tick-borne, stealth or viral infections), mast-cell activation syndrome (MCAS), toxin exposure (heavy-metals, chemicals, mycotoxins), trauma, and gut dysfunction.

Gut Microbiome Health

Adrian is a strong believer that the gut microbiome is pivotal to restoring health and is the cornerstone of naturopathic medicine. The gut microbiome is the complex community of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes, residing in the gastrointestinal tract. This ecosystem plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and well-being. If you experience digestive issues, food intolerances, allergies, autoimmune disease, mental health issues, or metabolic disease, gut microbiome imbalances may be an underlying driver of dysfunction.

A synergistic approach

Adrian and Dr Anjana have cultivated a collaborative partnership over 10 years. This is characterized by a natural synergistic approach that enhances the quality of care they provide to their clients.
