Treating CIRS is treating the root cause... I was no carb and exercised every day for years, it wasn't until I figured out CIRS and started the Shoemaker protocol that I got better. He really have no clue what CIRS even is....

[willowraine]

Moved from Oregon to Maui and got so sick from mold that I literally almost died. Looking back I now realize I had a mold sensitivity my whole life. It has taken me 10 years to heal from that. Mold illness is absolutely real for some of us.

[AnaLevy]

Doctors certainly in Australia, in my opinion haven’t got a clue mostly, unless you are bleeding to death or having a heart attack.
I’m not blaming them, but have no confidence anymore.
After the lies since 2020 confidence is zero.
Thank you for your genuine care and desire to help people heal and re gain health.

[peterwu]

Dude - you have inspired me to get back to keto in hopes of finding relief from all kinds of discomfort. I hope that in the long run my health will improve. I appreciate you.

[ronelpieterse]

Dr Rob, from my heart to yours. I agree a syndrome is not a diagnosis but a constellation of symptoms. I agree SIBO is not a diagnosis but another symptom. It took me a year to get my diagnosis and it DID need expensive tests (Heavy metals? Negative. Gut health? All good. Genetics? Nothing major. Cirs/mcas? Negative!) But since my family & doctors told me it was all in my head, while I was slowly becoming less functional to the point of not being able to work, I needed a diagnosis. Btw: I have really excellent metabolic health, and LOW inflammatory markers due to my very disciplined ultra-low carb lifestyle but still sick! So I continued searching while almost bedridden...
Mold testing? Bingo! Levels that was supposed to be <10 were > 480! It is especially neurotoxic & was messing deeply with my nervous system. No doctor found this or treated this, I FOUND IT as I needed to understand my weird symptoms and I cannot explain the extreme relief just knowing what the real cause was & giving me something to target (e.g. finding & fixing the leaking pipes in my walls, resulting in sheets of very toxic black mold behind the tiles). Still trying to get rid of all the mold in my body, which will take time, but my progress is directly testable in a lab.
Please, there are nuances to this to be honoured.
There are really really sick people who don't need to be told it's not real or only in their head when they know their bodies best.

CIRS is not a description in a vacuum. It is the only scientifically published and medically grounded framework we have to date to properly diagnose and treat a very specific profile of immune dysregulation. This is an incredibly specific and carefully thought out differential diagnosis that will rule out people who do not meet criteria.

We know the cause of the immune dysregulation in CIRS extremely well. It is triggered by biotoxins produced by specific microorganisms, including gram positive and gram negative bacteria, fungi, as well as recluse spider bites, pfiesteria, dinoflagellates, cyanobacteria, and tick borne infections. These patients will exhibit T-cell deficiencies that render them unable to properly produce antibodies in response to these biotoxins.

You fail to mention that 20-24% of the population in the US carry haplotypes from the HLA class II genes that drive defective/poor antigen presentation to the adaptive immune system. Over 90% of CIRS patients carry one of these haplotypes, and this sets them up for a chronically overactive innate immune response coupled with an inefficient adaptive immune response.

More importantly, the treatment that you casually reference, the Shoemaker protocol, is the only medically validated and published protocol that has been shown to put the illness into remission through the correction of very specific biomarkers tied to innate immune overactivity, endocrine dysregulation (which is not just any kind of endocrine dysregulation, it is very specific to deficiencies in two neuropeptides: alpha MSH and Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide), and brain volumetric abnormalities through an FDA approved brain scan (again, very specific patterns of brain abnormalities, not just any kind of swelling or atrophy). The success rate of this protocol is far greater than anything we have to date to treat these people (and I am one of them).

These patients will not respond to any conventional treatments, neither will they respond to the best functional medicine remedies. As a result, these patients spend years jumping from one doctor to another, including functional doctors, without any hope or resolution.

I am incredibly baffled by the lack of understanding that this video has on the subject and what is really unfortunate is that you had an opportunity to evaluate the topic of CIRS with a critical but open and respectful mind. Instead, you chose to appeal to the rather simplistic and false "binary opposition" dichotomy and throw vague insults to a large community of patients that continues to receive an unprecedent backstab from a large section of the medical community.

All of this is based on published studies and data continues to come out every year pushing our understanding and the role of innate immune activation in chronic illness. If you need help finding those studies and having a serious discussion about the topic, I will be more than happy to help.

Please do better, for the sake of these patients, and for yourself.

I am a psychologist, not a physician, but I worked in a federal grant program training primary care medicine residents. How physicians think scares the crap out of me -- Dr. Cywes excepted. He is a truth teller and WANTS TO FIND CAUSES, not just treat symptoms. One of the most significant things I learned teaching at that medicine residency, is that a SYNDROME is nothing but a bunch of symptoms that occur together -- that's it. IT IS NOT A DIAGNOSIS. Thank you, Dr. Cywes

[hilpilmendo]

This doctor has put tears of joy in my eyes today!!

[SwazersC]

Thank you, Doc. You're bang on as always. You nailed the hypothyroidism paradym. I got " diagnosed" with hypothyroidism 17 months ago. All my doctor wanted to do was stick me on meds. I diagnosed myself. Hashimotos. My doctor reluctantly tested antibodies. I was correct, Hashimotos. Even after that, my doctor refused to treat my autoimmune. Will only prescribe synthetic T4. I became my own health advocate. Became carnivore. Lost 94 pounds. Changed my life for the better. I appreciate you as a valuable human being and a true doctor. Thank you for your valuable work.

[Tiewaz]

Most of my life, I was usually diagnosed with stuff that was a "there's no treatment for this, " such as arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis. Or just, "You have X, you need to take Y medication." I was on high blood pressure medication and then when I went for a dental procedure, they refused to do it because my blood pressure was insanely high. (The nurse told me it was something like 190's/100+.) I was, like, WTF, I'm already on BP meds. They wanted me to just increase the dosage. I said feck that and went intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet. Off all prescription meds now and hoping to no longer need OTC pain meds as much eventually.

My CIRs doctor has helped me and also doesn't sell anything.

[metaljam]

Every time I go to the doctor (which is not often, maybe once every two years), they spend five minutes with me and give me a prescription. They never spend any time asking questions about lifestyle and diet. Maybe the standard question on how much you drink, how often you exercise. I stopped going, changed my diet to KETO, don't eat breakfast, don't eat sugar, and ALL my symptoms went away. I don't take any medications anymore, I feel great, look great, maintain ideal weight and 18% body fat without any effort. How the doctors became so robot like, and prescription based is beyond me. Why are we having to pay so much in health insurance for this crappy service?? Thanks you Dr. Cywes for changing my life!

[sofab]

Interesting. Dr. Cywes, please may I ask how many seriously ill people with a CIRS diagnosis have you treated and restored to full health?

[hawaiingirlbeth]

I so wish I could afford an appointment.
I genuinely appreciate you talking about eating disorders. Struggled 30 dam years 😞

[rosemaryeveleigh]

I had a laugh watching your video. I go to the Dr. The other day for a 3 monthly check up. Firstly he takes my Blood Pressure after which he tells me it is excellent. My sugar was 6.1 before breakfast and he did the test again it was 5.8.
I take no Statins anymore but see a dietician and I feel healthly and have lost weight. My Primary Dr is impressed. Dr Cywes thanks to you for info on statins.

[lorrenzom]

I’m getting a South African 🇿🇦 accent is our beloved Dr from South Africa

[dalerwhaler]

lived with it for 20 years ever since toxic mold from my hvac poisoned me between 2005 to 2009. YES the root cause can be healed thru the shoemaker protocol. In 2018I got to the vip stage I felt so much better that I stopped treatment and lived life finally
Feeling great up until 2022. Then I was reexposed in a water damaged office. I am back again on the shoemaker protocol. Looking forward to getting back on vip Once I pass the vcs Visual test and get other lab markers in line. Doctor you are clearly ignorant. And if the followers of this video want to believe you, it's to their own unfortunate loss of the potential of regaining their health.

[TofuCommando]

Fantastic info as usual! Love your videos

[gins]

I have had friends who throw around SIBO and CIRS acronyms as though these are diagnoses which explain their health problems. The idea of controlling health outcomes through dietary interventions is viewed as though it is radical indoctrination I have fallen prey to.

[nancyshinen]

Doc....You had me at "unless you are a cow"...🤣🤣 I agree with your info.
