Summary

Beech 19036 was chronically ill with long COVID after a Covid infection that caused no respiratory symptoms. After the Dr. Shoemaker CIRS protocol, including mould avoidance, binders and VIP nasal spray, they said about 80% of their issues remitted and they felt better than ever. By February 2025 they were still much improved, crediting the binder cholestyramine and a gut-focused diet for the gains.
