Understanding Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)
Chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) is a multi-system illness caused by exposure to biotoxins, most often from mold in water-damaged buildings. In people who are genetically susceptible, the immune system cannot clear these toxins, so inflammation stays switched on and affects the brain, hormones, gut and muscles. At Today’s Integrative Health, your provider uses specialized labs, visual contrast testing and an environmental history to confirm CIRS, then follows a structured treatment protocol to remove toxins and restore balance.
Common Symptoms of CIRS and Mold Illness
CIRS affects many body systems at once, so symptoms are often wide-ranging, including:
- Chronic fatigue and weakness
- Brain fog, poor memory and trouble focusing
- Headaches and light sensitivity
- Muscle aches, joint pain and cramps
- Sinus congestion, cough and shortness of breath
- Numbness, tingling or “electric” sensations
- Abdominal pain, diarrhea and appetite changes
- Night sweats and trouble regulating temperature
- Excessive thirst and frequent urination
- Anxiety, mood swings and poor sleep

CIRS Q & A
What causes chronic inflammatory response syndrome?
CIRS is most often caused by exposure to mold and other toxins in water-damaged buildings. It can also follow tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease, or exposure to certain algae and bacteria. About one in four people carry genes that make it harder for the immune system to clear these biotoxins, which is why some family members get sick while others do not.
How is CIRS diagnosed?
CIRS is diagnosed through a combination of symptom review, exposure history and specialized testing. At Today’s Integrative Health, testing may include a visual contrast sensitivity (VCS) test, inflammatory and hormone markers such as MSH, TGF-beta 1, MMP-9 and C4a, and genetic (HLA-DR) testing. We may also recommend testing your home or workplace for mold.
How is CIRS treated?
CIRS treatment follows a step-by-step protocol that starts with removing you from the source of exposure. Your provider then uses binders to clear toxins, treats hidden infections such as nasal MARCoNS, and corrects inflammatory and hormone markers one at a time. Nutrition, gut support and lifestyle changes help your body recover and stay well.
How long does CIRS treatment take?
Most patients need several months to a year of treatment, depending on how long they were exposed and how many steps of the protocol they need. Many people notice improvements in energy and brain fog within the first few months. Your provider retests your labs along the way so you can see your progress.
