Why Haven’t I Ever Heard of Biotoxins & Biotoxin Illness Before?

You probably have heard of it, only it was called something else like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFIDS), Fibromyalgia, Chronic Lyme Disease (CLD), Mold Illness, or ADHD (see “Other Names for Biotoxin Illness” below). The discoveries and the science behind how biotoxins are involved in these illnesses and disorders is fairly new. Ritchie Shoemaker, MD presented some of our most recent Chronic Fatigue research and treatment findings at The International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome conference held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in January of 2007. We have also just completed a soon to be published ground-breaking study on the health effects of mold exposure. Many progressive doctors around the country endorse the use of our on-line test and the cholestyramine-based treatment protocol pioneered by Ritchie Shoemaker, MD. Remember though, that medical advances are ultimately driven through peer-reviewed publication in medical journals. These studies are expensive and time consuming and our recent peer-reviewed publications will help advance these discoveries into mainstream medicine. Soon many more doctors will be aware of biotoxins and the role they play in chronic illness.

That said, many leading experts in mold exposure, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and Acute or Chronic Lyme Disease (CLD) are familiar with, and use our screening test and cholestyramine protocol. For example, Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, Chief Medical Officer of the Fibro and Fatigue Center Clinics, has included a chapter on Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker’s biotoxin discoveries and how they relate to CFIDS and Fibroymylgia in the updated revision of his book titled From Fatigued to Fantastic!, which was published in 2007. Additionally, Dr. Shoemaker testified about the human health effects of mold exposure for the US Congress in January of 2006.
