Is it Mould illness or CIRS?

  • Understanding the Difference.  It’s important to clarify that while mould exposure can lead to health issues, not all mould-related health problems are CIRS. CIRS is a specific condition characterized by a wide range of symptoms and systemic inflammation resulting from a prolonged immune response to a biotoxin, including but not limited to mould.
    Diagnostic Criteria: For CIRS, reliance on specific biomarkers through blood tests is key. These markers can include C4a, TGF-beta 1, MMP-9, and others that indicate a systemic inflammatory response. While the simple urine mycotoxin tests provide useful information, blood biomarkers can provide a clearer picture of whether a patient is suffering from CIRS or another mould-or bacteria and possibly chemical related health issue.
    Environmental Assessments: Any form of inflammatory response illness requires thorough environmental assessments to identify and mitigate sources of mould and other chemical and biotoxins. However, the approach for someone with CIRS may also include more detailed health assessments and a personalized treatment plan that addresses the systemic nature of the illness.
    By addressing these aspects across different stakeholders, the functional and medical practitioner doctor can contribute significantly to the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of mould and building-related illnesses, ensuring a more targeted and effective approach to improving their patient outcomes.
  • Building Forensics offer the healthcare professional  and functional medicine professionals the widest range of environmental assessments and risk reduction protocols to enable them to provide enhanced and effective treatment.

Common Mould Sickness Misdiagnoses - Is This Really My illness?

Many suffering mould illness symptoms embark on a treatment plan to improve the immune system , but this may not be adequate if your continuously exposed to bacteria, mould and other inflammagens. You’re not giving the medication a chance to succeed. Invariably its not the mould or contamination you can see that is affecting your health, but is the invisible, sub-micron particulates carrying inflammagens into your bloodstream through lung function. These are often emanating from closed hidden cavities and we investigate these too.

Conventional Diagnosis overtaken by Science

Many may find conventional medicine  doesn’t provide suitable treatment for their symptoms. The British Medical Journal and British Medical Association have in 2024 suggested that perhaps 50% of patients are misdiagnosed.

Many have turned to Functional Medicine practitioners and a new breed of healthcare professionals. 

The new approaches take into account novel and often new diagnosis methods and of course treatment. Today, many realise illness’s are the result of environmental exposure but are limited to established markers like Ozone, CO2 Carbon monoxide.

 Today new technology developed for COVID, and the advances in AI  has revolutionised diagnosis and treatment. Building Forensics specialise in the assessment of Indoor Air Quality specifically identifying “Inflammagens” and chemicals capable and known to cause inflammatory response in its various forms.
