Body
This is the deepest section of the site, and it's mostly about conditions conventional medicine handles badly.
Illness from water-damaged buildings, persistent inflammation that doesn't resolve, symptoms that get dismissed because a standard panel came back unremarkable. These are real, they have mechanisms, and there are things that help.
CIRS and mold illness
The main cluster. Start with the overview if you're new to it.
CIRS and sick building syndrome
What happens when a water-damaged building sets off an immune response that doesn't switch off, why standard testing misses it, and what actually helps.
Supplements for mold exposure
Which binders work, why drainage has to come first, how to sequence a protocol, and the timing mistakes that stall recovery.
The vagus nerve and CIRS
Why you feel exhausted and foggy while your labs look fine.
Does mold cause acid reflux?
How mold exposure produces reflux and heartburn through the airways and the immune system.
Can mold cause swollen lymph nodes?
What swollen glands mean after mold exposure, and which patterns need proper attention.
MCAS vs MCS
Mast cell activation vs multiple chemical sensitivity: how they differ, how they overlap, and the research that MCS may often be mast cell activation.
MCAS symptoms
The full mast cell activation symptom list by body system, the episodic multisystem pattern that flags it, and how it is confirmed.
What causes multiple chemical sensitivity?
The proposed mechanisms behind MCS, from receptor and nervous-system sensitization to mast cells and detox genetics, graded by evidence.
Low dose naltrexone
LDN is prescribed widely for fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, autoimmune conditions and chronic pain, often by the practitioners people reach after conventional treatment hasn't helped.
Trauma and chronic illness
Early adversity shows up as measurable inflammation decades later, which puts it squarely in the same territory as the rest of this section.
What is a dysregulated nervous system?
Why a nervous system stuck in defence and an immune system that won't stand down are closely related problems.
The science of trauma
The full cluster: dysregulation, dorsal vagal shutdown, the window of tolerance and the four trauma responses.
