Short excerpt from a YouTube episode (CIRS Episode 2) by Aaron Hartman, MD arguing that biotoxin exposure is ubiquitous but is a treatable and manageable condition. The speaker emphasizes identifying an individual's current biotoxin burden (not aiming for sterility), working within realistic environmental limits, and leveraging control of environmental inputs/epigenetics to mitigate genetic predisposition while teaching patients detoxification strategies.

Biotoxins are everywhere, and that's not meant to scare anybody or make them agoraphobic. The reality is that this is a very treatable, manageable condition. The goal is to identify your current ongoing massive biotoxin burden. We're not looking for biotoxin free. That is unrealistic. No one's going to live in a sterile environment. This is minimal. This is what can the system handle as I get it balanced and better and ramp up and teach this individual how to detoxify in a better way, despite their genetics. Genetic predisposition is just that, predisposition. But if you can control the environmental input, epigenetics, then you're able to better push that patient in a positive direction and teach them how to own it along the way.
