Featured Publications
A Call to Arms
Ritchie C. Shoemaker, MD
Dr. Shoemaker's forthcoming book on the fight against Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome — a call to confront the science, the buildings, and the inertia that have surrounded CIRS for decades.
Surviving Mold: Life in the Era of Dangerous Buildings
Ritchie C. Shoemaker, MD
The foundational book on biotoxin illness, CIRS, and the Shoemaker Protocol framework — written for patients, families, and practitioners seeking to understand what is happening in the body and why each step of the protocol matters.
Mold Warriors: Fighting America's Hidden Health Threat
Ritchie C. Shoemaker, MD
A detailed account of the science and clinical evolution of CIRS diagnosis and treatment — the biomarkers, the protocol, and the patients who shaped the field.
Desperation Medicine
Ritchie C. Shoemaker, MD
The origins of the Shoemaker Protocol — the early cases, observations, and reasoning that led to the identification of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome.
CIRS Foundations Monograph
Biotoxin University
A university-issued overview of the CIRS biological framework — innate immunity, the biotoxin pathway, and the logic of the stepwise protocol. Designed as a companion to the foundational curriculum.
Biotoxin Pathway Reference
Biotoxin University
A structured reference covering the innate immune biotoxin pathway — how exposure triggers activation and the downstream inflammatory cascade.
PANS/PANDAS: A Family Education Guide
Biotoxin University
A plain-language educational guide for families navigating PANS, PANDAS, and pediatric neuroimmune symptoms — what these terms mean, how immune activation intersects with behavior, and what questions to ask. Not a diagnostic or treatment manual.
Pediatric Neuroimmune Foundations
Biotoxin University
An educational introduction to the intersection of infection, immune activation, and neuroimmune symptoms in children — framed as exploration, not causation or cure.
Autism, Inflammation & the Brain-Body Connection: An Educational Exploration
Biotoxin University
An educational exploration of how immune activation, neuroinflammation, and environmental exposures may intersect with autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions. Exploratory in framing — no causation or cure is claimed.
Apraxia & Motor Planning: An Educational Foundation
Biotoxin University
An educational foundation on apraxia, motor planning, and speech development — examining how brain-body communication and immune stress may intersect. Framed as educational, not diagnostic.
Lyme & Tick-Borne Illness: A Foundations Guide
Biotoxin University
An educational introduction to Lyme disease, tick-borne illness, co-infections, and the immune dysregulation that may accompany chronic symptoms — examining overlap with inflammatory illness without overclaiming or providing medical advice.
ERMI & HERTSMI-2 Guide
Biotoxin University
A guide to dust-based environmental scoring in the Shoemaker framework — what ERMI and HERTSMI-2 measure, how they are interpreted, and their role in building assessment.
Medically Sensitive Homes: An Environmental Education Guide
Biotoxin University
Environmental education on indoor exposures, HVAC, dust reservoirs, small particles, and remediation considerations for medically sensitive occupants — not environmental clearance instructions.
Chronic Inflammation Foundations Reference
Biotoxin University
A foundational reference on inflammation, innate immunity, cytokines, immune priming, neuroinflammation, mitochondria, and mast cell activation — the shared biology that connects all the schools.
Practitioner Reference Binder
Biotoxin University
A structured reference binder supporting practitioner education — organized by biomarker, body system, and inflammatory pathway. Educational reference, not a clinical manual.
Patient & Family Education Pack
Biotoxin University
Plain-language educational materials for patients and families — what CIRS is, what the biomarkers mean, and what to expect across the protocol, without clinical instruction.
CIRS 101 Course Companion
Biotoxin University
A companion workbook aligned to the CIRS 101 foundation course — structured exercises, concept reviews, and self-checks to reinforce understanding.
Biomarker Study Guide
Biotoxin University
A study guide for the body systems and biomarker course series — covering VCS, complement split products, MMP-9, C4a, TGF-beta-1, and VIP in plain language.
GENIE Transcriptomics Archive
Biotoxin University
An archive document summarizing GENIE gene-expression concepts — the hypometabolic pattern and its significance in CIRS systems biology.
SAIIE Framework Paper
Ritchie C. Shoemaker, MD
The SAIIE causation framework as an educational archive item — Sequential Activation of Innate Immune Elements as a method for demonstrating biological causation.
