A post in Above The Chaos
On a recent podcast, two well known doctors made the claim that around the world, up to 80% of homes and buildings (schools, workplaces, apartments, military housing, etc.) are affected by the invasion of living microbes such as mold, fungi, and bacteria, largely as a consequence of water damage.
This is being increasingly linked to an array of devastating chronic disease, from chronic headaches and abdominal issues, to flulike symptoms, to obesity, Parkinson's, Alzheimers, etc. via the basic mechanism of Chronic Immune Response Syndrome.
We are now understanding that Chronic Inflammation is the core driver of Chronic Disease, and that Chronic Inflammation is occurring as a result of the response of our immune systems to toxins in our built environment and food systems.
In this post, I link the learnings out to other ongoing conversations with experts on food systems and brain disease.

Jordan Peterson recently published a podcast titled "80% of Homes are Fostering Chronic Illness" with Dr. Scott McMahon and Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker.
In an interview focused on the specific issue of biotoxins in the Built Environment, Drs. McMahon and Shoemaker present overwhelming evidence that the core driver of a variety of Chronic Disease is Chronic Inflammation, or Chronic Immune Response Syndrome (CIRS).
Recently I was talking with Dr. Dung Trinh, a leading expert on brain disease, whose findings arrived at the same basic conclusion: the core driver behind Chronic Disease, generally, and brain disease, specifically, is Chronic Inflammation.
And the core driver of Chronic Inflammation is the immunological response to toxins in our food and environment.
Dr. Trinh and other medical professionals have estimated that approximately 80% of all health issues are lifestyle related, and therefore unnecessary, treatable, and preventable. Within this category we can include Environmental Toxicology.
Even for disease that has its roots in genetic factors, we are discovering that lifestyle, mindset and environmental factors can turn on or off, activate or deactivate, the genes controlling the expression of various diseases and potentials.
When the issue of Environmental Toxicology is finally is understood by the public, particularly as it relates to food systems and the built environment, it will become one of the greatest and most devastating scandals and remediation projects in history.
Imagine waking up one day to find out that the vast majority of the disease and suffering we and our loved ones are experiencing is not only unnecessary, but being driven by conscious and alterable acts and omissions. If you haven't already awakened to this, I pray that Today Is The Day.
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is a complex and multi-faceted condition.
The basic mechanism can be conceptualized as:
In simple terms, the core driver of an array of chronic disease and Suffering is inflammation resulting from the response of the immune system to toxins in our food, drink, and environment.
Since the core driver of Chronic Disease is Chronic Inflammation caused by the response of the Immune System to toxins, it becomes crucial to look at the sources of Toxins capable of triggering such an immune response.
There are a few obvious categories:
For example:
A hypothesis is that Toxins would affect the most sensitive creatures first, and work their way up through the Living System. Therefore by the time we are diagnosing the issues at the human level, the microbiome, plant, insect, and animal systems have already suffered similar consequences (and possibly collapse).
In short, there is growing evidence that we are destroying the Living System, and our Selves, in the process.
In terms of scale, if ~80% of buildings are affected, and virtually the entire food system, and the air, water, and microbial systems are interconnected, these issues touch virtually every family on Earth.
The good news is that because we, human beings, are creating the problems, we also have the power to transform them.
First, by becoming aware of and understanding the issues.
Second, by stopping exposure to our selves, our families, our communities, and our environment. Do no harm.
Third, by climbing the ladder of healing and regeneration from the inside out.
