Here are a few resources that may be useful for you. Detoxing should be under the supervision of a medical specialist. It can mobilize things that your body stored to try to minimize exposure to them, and in detoxing, you can be exposed to these toxins again. There are different detox pathways in the body, and detoxing is a normal process that happens in life as your body breaks down compounds it uses, for example hormones in the body that control various processes, as well as dealing with toxic substances. If you are unable to drive, perhaps a telehealth visit with a provider would be beneficial.

Environmental Medicine Doctors
There is a provider finder link for them at https://www.aaemonline.org/

Functional Medicine Doctors
There is also a provider search at Forum Health for functional medicine doctors.

The pioneer in the field of Environmental medicine was Dr. Rea. You can contact the practice he founded at https://www.ehcd.com . There is some information on their website and they do treat toxicity.

Here is a link to their page about Mold

These are links to manufacturers of supplements often prescribed by doctors to aide in detox.

Some pharmacies sell these over the counter such as specialty pharmacies that do compounding like https://www.waucondapharmacy.com/

There are also online pharmacies that sell supplements for detox and you may be able to talk to a pharmacist about what may help you.

I hope some of this can help you find what you need.

I’ve been following Shoemaker for the past few years. I have reached out to a number of doctors that are certified and none of them will return a call to me or to my primary care physician. I most definitely need to do this guided by a educated doctor and not go through this on my own with the supervision of a doctor because if they don’t specialize in this they don’t know anything about it and will not take part. It’s so complicated and with all the confusion in my head now because of CIRS I am having a hard enough time just getting through the day because I feel like I’m a complete idiot. I did find a doctor in my state that I can call off of your list. One of your lists was not accurate in giving me a doctor. It turned out to be just a PDF on the environment. If you would like that information please let me know so that his name can be removed from the list. I already know what I should eat and what I shouldn’t even though there are a number of contradictions in the information online. There’s absolutely no possible way I can tell my PCP to keep ordering all these tests and then go and get the medication‘s on my own in the correct dosages and know how long I need to be on each medication or supplement until need to move onto the next and so on. This whole thing has to be controlled by a doctor. I am in bad shape and got this way very quickly! It had CT scans on my head, chest and abdomen and every organ is inflamed and I have kidney stones. Sodas my dog. I will definitely call the one doctor and see if they will just do virtual visits because they are several hours away. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that they will take my insurance! I’d be perfectly OK with that doctor just ordering tests, ordering supplements and telling me exactly what to do because I will stick to it no matter what. Thank you!
