What is CIRS?
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, or CIRS, is a complex and multi-systemic condition characterized by an abnormal immune response to environmental toxins such as mold, fungi, bacteria, and other biotoxins. These toxins can be found in water-damaged buildings, causing individuals to experience a range of debilitating symptoms.

What is Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)?
CIRS is a condition that occurs when the immune system becomes dysregulated in response to a biotoxin exposure, such as mold or other environmental factors. It is characterized by a chronic inflammatory response that can affect multiple body systems.
What causes CIRS?
CIRS is typically triggered by exposure to biotoxins produced by certain types of molds, bacteria, or other environmental factors. The immune system responds to these biotoxins by producing inflammatory cytokines, which can lead to a wide range of symptoms.
What are the symptoms of CIRS?
CIRS can cause a variety of symptoms that affect different body systems. Common symptoms include fatigue, headaches, anxiety, depression, cognitive difficulties (brain fog), respiratory issues, joint pain, and gastrointestinal problems.
How is CIRS diagnosed?
Diagnosing CIRS can be complex, as it requires a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's medical history, symptoms, and exposure to biotoxins. Laboratory tests, including markers of inflammation and immune system function, may also be used to help confirm the diagnosis.
What is the role of VCS testing in CIRS?
VCS testing, or Visual Contrast Sensitivity testing, is one tool that may be used in the evaluation of patients suspected of having CIRS. It assesses the individual's ability to detect changes in contrast and may be indicative of an impaired immune response.
Can CIRS be treated?
Treatment for CIRS typically involves addressing the underlying biotoxin exposure and supporting the body's detoxification processes. This may include avoiding further exposure to biotoxins, using binders to remove toxins from the body, and supporting immune system function.
What should I do if I suspect I have CIRS?
If you suspect you have CIRS, it's important to consult with one of our CIRS and mold specialists who is knowledgeable about the condition. They can perform a comprehensive evaluation and recommend appropriate testing and treatment options based on your individual circumstances.
