This is why these people who have these genes are at increased risk of contracting mold disease. This subgroup comprises 95% of cases of this disease.
Among these people, 2% are particularly prone to this disease and have a “faster and more virulent” type of these genes. Also, if you are not vulnerable to this disease, it does not mean that you have no chance of getting it.
In the case of mold vulnerability, people cannot distinguish certain specific toxins as toxins, and this is the case with mold, and so they continue to circulate in the body. These toxins, in turn, cause a continuous inflammatory response.
Mold disease due to water damaged construction is a serious health problem because it is a state of chronic inflammation due to a weakened immune system, and it does not heal on its own, thus causing various other untreated conditions. This disease is written in the DNA and once it is activated, the symptoms and the inflammatory response can be long lasting.
The diagnosis of SIRS is established if the patient meets all the criteria stated above:
Abnormalities documented by visual contrast sensitivity tests
A genetic predisposition to a disease linked to biotoxins, based on an identification of an HLA sensitivity haplotype (these are the human leukocyte antigens, markers of the immune system).
History, symptoms and signs of exposure to biotoxins. History should include exposure to toxin-producing molds as documented by the ERMI test. Additionally, in the case of microcystins, ciguatera, etc., the history implies probable exposure or laboratory evidence of exposure.
Biomarkers consistent with vascular, neuroimmune and endocrine abnormalities specific to SRIS. In the case of consistent exposure to biotoxins, an abnormal SVC test, or a susceptible genotype, you will likely have the laboratory abnormalities seen in SRIS.
Therefore, if you think you are exposed to mold and are experiencing some of the symptoms, you should do the following:
Learn and research everything about mold disease
Test the house for mold. You can find an environmental professional to inspect the home or office, or do an ERMI test. The price of this test is 300 euros and you can do it yourself. If it is positive, you should hire a professional to fix the problem.
You can work with a clinician trained in the Shoemaker protocol, and examine your susceptibility to mold illness.
