ModerateGBS: 77 (Moderate-High Risk)detox

Mold Detoxification Protocol

Developer: Neil Nathan, Ritchie Shoemaker

4-12 months, sometimes longer depending on exposure and genetics

Protocol Overview

Comprehensive protocol combining environmental remediation, binders, detox support, and immune modulation for mold/mycotoxin illness. Goes beyond Shoemaker's cholestyramine to include multiple approaches.

Conditions Treated

Mold illness (CIRS)

mycotoxin exposure

chronic inflammation

Protocol Steps

Remove from exposure: Essential first step - test home/work (ERMI, HERTSMI-2 tests), remediate or move

Nasal sinus treatment: BEG nasal spray (Bactroban-EDTA-Gentamicin) for MARCoNS if present, or silver spray

Binding phase: Cholestyramine 1 packet 4x daily OR Welchol 3 tablets 2x daily OR activated charcoal 2-4g 3x daily, away from food/meds

Alternative binders: Bentonite clay, zeolite, chlorella (rotate binders every 2-4 weeks)

Support detox: NAC 1800mg, glutathione (liposomal or IV), milk thistle, vitamin C 3g

Reduce inflammation: Omega-3 fish oil 3-4g, curcumin 1-2g, VIP nasal spray (prescription)

Support mitochondria: CoQ10 200-400mg, PQQ 20mg, D-ribose, acetyl-L-carnitine

Address MSH: If low, VIP nasal spray or other MSH support

Diet: Anti-inflammatory, low-mold diet (avoid coffee, peanuts, dried fruits, aged cheese initially)

Monitor: Retest mycotoxins (urine), CIRS markers (C4a, TGF-beta1, MMP-9, VCS test), symptoms

Contraindications & Risks

Severe constipation with binders, bile duct obstruction, nutrient deficiencies if binders used long-term

Important Notes

Environmental removal is 80% of solution - can't detox if still exposed. HLA genetics determine who gets sick (24% of population susceptible). MARCoNS (multiple antibiotic resistant staph) in sinuses perpetuates CIRS. VIP nasal spray helps but hard to obtain. Binders are temporary - months not years. Many patients dramatically improve once out of moldy environment and using protocol. Great Plains and RealTime Labs offer mycotoxin testing.

Critical Safety Warning

This protocol is documented for educational purposes only. The Gabriel Bullshit Score (GBS) of 77 reflects significant institutional response and controversy. Some alternative health protocols have resulted in serious harm or death.

Always consult with qualified healthcare professionals before beginning any treatment. Do not delay or forego proven medical care.

About GBS Score

The Gabriel Bullshit Score reflects the magnitude of institutional response, controversy, and documented concerns. Higher scores indicate greater institutional pushback, not necessarily inefficacy. This is a research tool, not medical advice.
