NEW EPISODE! Dr. Shoemaker on Episode #211 of the BetterHealthGuy Podcast!

"My guest for this episode is Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker.  Ritchie Shoemaker, MD is a recognized leader in patient care, research, and an education pioneer in the field of biotoxin related illness.  While illness acquired following exposure to the interior environment of water-damaged buildings (WDB) comprises the bulk of Dr. Shoemaker’s daily practice, other illnesses caused by exposure to biologically-produced toxins are quite similar in their “final common pathway.”  What this means is that while the illness might begin acutely with exposure to fungi, spirochetes, apicomplexans, dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria, for example, in its chronic form, each of these illnesses has similar symptoms, lab findings, and Visual Contrast Sensitivity (VCS) findings.  Taken together the inflammatory illness from each of these diverse sources is known as  Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome"
