Ritchie C Shoemaker MD has been involved in the field of medical evaluation and treatment of patients sickened by exposure to the interior environment of water-damaged buildings for 16 years. He has diagnosed and treated over 7000 patients; written and published multiple academic papers in peer reviewed literature; as well as three books, with the last published in 2014, State of the Art Answers to 500 Mold Questions. He lectures widely in the US and internationally. Since his medical retirement in January 2013 he has continued research into the basic genomics and brain inflammation effects of exposure. Through his website, www.survivingmold.com, he has trained physicians to certify in his treatment protocols.
During our last show with Dr. Shoemaker Episode 235 on 2-10-12 we discussed the latest research on what he and some colleagues have labeled Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) from Water Damaged Buildings (WDB). Since then Dr. Shoemaker and his colleagues have been using brain imaging combined with an FDA cleared software that correlates with symptoms and physiology. The program is called NeuroQuant�??�?�® and we will LEARN MORE today about how Dr. Shoemaker is using the Union of Genomics and NeuroQuant�??�?�® in his research on CIRS-WDB.
