What is the Biotoxin Questionnaire?

The Biotoxin Questionnaire was developed as a screening tool by Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker in the 1990s when he was studying toxin exposure in patients.

The questionnaire includes 37 symptoms within 13 symptom clusters that cover several biological systems. It is designed to identify suspected biotoxin in an individual and inform further validated diagnostic processes.

If a person has 6 or more positive clusters, CIRS/mold physicians often follow up with one or more diagnostic processes:

• CIRS-specific labs (blood & urine)

• Visual Contrast Sensitivity (VCS) testing

• Neuroquant MRI

• Home dust samples - ERMI, HERTSMI-2, or EMMA

Including a biotoxin screening for all Emuna Healing clients allows us to provide additional education for individuals who may not be aware of environmental factors affecting their health.

Oftentimes, chronic illness patients are told that they are sick for the rest of their lives and must take symptom management medications to have a sufficient quality of life. Screening for biotoxin illness can provide hope and a new path to consider for treatment.
