WHAT IS CIRS (CHRONIC INFL AMMATORY RESPONSE SYNDROME)?
Biotoxinexposure
• Biotoxins & inflammagensfrom water-damaged building or Lyme/stealth infections
Immune, gene, brain
• Defect in antigen presentation means toxins stay in body causing chronic inflammation that leads to gene dysregulation and brain changes
CIRS
• Multi-system, multi-symptom illness develops even if removed from WDB or infection eradicated

Intestinal barrier damage - mechanisms
• Damage to intestinal cells (enterocytes)
• Damage to tight junctions
• Intestinal cell “drop out”(Extrusion)
SIBO/SIFO
• Bacteria and/or fungi, that may be
normally abundant in the large intestine
flow into small intestine

SIBO & LG – WHY SO COMMON IN CIRS?
Bauche D., Marie, JC. (2017). Transforming growth factor β: a
master Regulator of the gut microbiota and immune cell interactions
Low MSH, VIP
- Key anti-inflammatory, immune modulatory and anti-microbial hormones in CIRS
- Low levels allow inflammation and pathogens to increase in gut
- Low levels (may) reduce gut motility
High TGF-β, IL-6 and other cytokines
- High TGF-β plus other cytokines (IL-6) shift gut towards inflammation(Th17 : Treg balance)
- Microbiota may also increase TGF-β
- If high enough autoimmunity starts to develop
Pro-inflammatory State
- Inflammation continues to fuel the fire of CIRS
- Perpetuates & exacerbates SIBO, leaky gut
- Multiple food sensitivities

SIBO & LG – NASAL INFECTION CONNECTION
• Bacteria e.g Multiple Antibiotic Resistant Coagulase Neg Staph (MARCoNS) drip down into gut
MARCoNS
• Antibiotic nasal sprays may drip down into gut and alter gut microbiota
• Possible alternatives:
• EDTA/colloidal silver
• XyliFos/LoxaSperse (Xylitol)
Nasal Sprays
