Shoemaker Protocol
What is the Shoemaker Protocol?
In coastal regions, like Florida and Louisiana, exposure to biotoxins is high.
From water-damaged buildings to red tide and green algae, biotoxins have devasting effects on those who are genetically susceptible. Exposure to mold and toxins can cause persistent fatigue, poor concentration, memory impairment, tremors, and neuropathy. Other symptoms of mold and toxin exposure include muscle pain, headaches, and sinus pressure.

What is the The Shoemaker Protocol?
The Shoemaker protocol is designed by Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker to treat patients with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) from Water Damaged Buildings.
In this condition, patients will develop multiple symptoms and affect multiple body systems that emanate from inflammation in the body and brain.
The Shoemaker Protocol is very thorough, including:
- Guidance for removing patients from exposure
- Accurate diagnosis
- A step-wise approach to reducing inflammation, removing toxins and building enduring resilience
The treatment has been published in multiple medical journals. It is most effective treating conditions such as chronic inflammatory syndrome (CIRS) and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)
According to this study, Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is a “chronic biotoxin illness that affects as many as one in four people in the United States.”
Physician-researcher Ritchie Shoemaker began a series of studies starting in 1998. He eventually developed a thorough description of an illness caused by “poor clearance of biotoxins produced by certain algae, dinoflagellates, and molds.” Dr. Shoemaker named it the Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome and developed methods to diagnose and treat it.
Now, let’s start with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) basics. This type of illness is described as a multi-symptom illness due to exposure to biotoxins. If left untreated, CIRS may become debilitating, and this is due to the ongoing inflammation, which may affect virtually any organ in the body. The main problem with CIRS is that most patients get misdiagnosed.
To those who are not familiar with the illness, CIRS may look like allergies, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, among others. Once patients start receiving treatments for one of the conditions mentioned above, the conditions don’t improve. This is why it’s essential to get the proper treatment as soon as possible.
We use the Shoemaker Protocol to help treat patients like you with chronic inflammatory syndrome (CIRS) and chronic fatigue syndrome, and are located in Hollywood, Florida, convenient also to Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
Mold and Toxins
A chronic pattern of such effects may indeed be due to Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), also known as biotoxin illness, which impacts up to 25% of the population who are genetically susceptible and whose immune systems are unable to process biotoxin exposure. Sadly, because physicians are often not aware of CIRS, patients are frequently misunderstood or even misdiagnosed by the clinical community.
At Rezilir Health, however, we demonstrate how this condition is eminently treatable when patient care is facilitated by a clinician skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of CIRS. Most scientific research on biotoxin illness results from studies done by Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, whose developments in the diagnosis and treatment of this illness have established a process by which physicians are certified in his Shoemaker Protocol. Rezilir Health’s Co-Founder, Dr. Craig Tanio, is certified in the CIRS protocol by Dr. Shoemaker and is successfully treating patients for this condition.
In the treatment of CIRS, Rezilir follows an evidence-based approach that relies on published research, clinical judgment, and patient values and preferences. For optimal results, we encourage patients to become an active participant in their own healing by familiarizing themselves with CIRS literature and treatment protocol, establishing mutual accountability and what we here at Rezilir call a “commitment practice.”
As treatment commences, we measure objective biomarkers of inflammation to better understand its triggers. Rather than just guessing or running a single test, we conduct a more thorough investigation that includes blood work, neurologic imaging, and even direct measures of gene activity or transcriptomics.
We go beyond surface-level fixes, instead taking a multi-pronged approach to your healing.
Our practice has an indoor environmental specialist on-site, as we believe that getting a true assessment of all variables is what it will take to progress your recovery.
Once we understand the causes of your issues, we will work with you to limit further exposure, get toxins out of your system, reduce inflammation, and strengthen your resilience to further exposure. We understand the damaging effects of these conditions on patients and families. As such, we are dutifully committed to achieving better outcomes with the appropriate amount of empathy and support.
How Rezilir Health Can Help with Mold Problems
Are you currently suffering from mold sickness? Biotoxins have devastating effects on genetically susceptible people, from water-damaged buildings to red tide and green algae. Exposure to mold and toxins can cause persistent fatigue, poor concentration, memory impairment, tremors, and neuropathy.
Other molds and toxin exposure symptoms include muscle pain, headaches, and sinus pressure. A chronic pattern of such effects may be due to Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), also known as biotoxin illness, which impacts about 25% of the population. Especially for those whose immune systems are unable to process biotoxin exposure.
Sadly, because physicians are often unaware of CIRS, patients are frequently misunderstood or misdiagnosed by clinicians and doctors. Most scientific research on biotoxin illness results from studies done by Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker. His developments in the diagnosis and treatment of this illness have established a process by which physicians are certified in the Shoemaker Protocol.
At Rezilir Health, our experienced mold doctor can demonstrate how this condition is eminently treatable, primarily when patient care is facilitated by a clinician skilled in diagnosing and treating CIRS. Rezilir Health’s Co-Founder, Dr. Craig Tanio, is certified in the CIRS protocol by Dr. Shoemaker. Our clinic has successfully treated patients for mold and toxic exposure in Florida for many years.
