A short transcript excerpt from Aaron Hartman, MD (CIRS Episode 1) describing a general treatment strategy for biotoxin illness: remove exposure, support detoxification, re-regulate the dysregulated immune system, and address downstream damage (dysbiosis, gut issues, nutrient and fatty acid deficiencies, hormone imbalances). The speaker emphasizes that these steps are broadly similar across exposures and shares a clinical anecdote about patients and mold-related exposures.
