The Genie Test New Window on Chronic Inflammation

Mycotoxin - June 2021

<h6>Eric Gordon, M.D.   </h6>
Yeah, so welcome, welcome back. This is another edition of Mycotoxins and Chronic Illness, and my pleasure to continue a conversation with Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker. For those of you who don&#8217;t know, Dr. Shoemaker is the pioneer in mycotoxin illness, but especially in the areas of water damage and just chronic inflammatory response syndrome. I mean, he is the man who coined the term, and he&#8217;s the man who has developed the treatment tools that we all use every day, and someone who I have learned from, and continuing to learn quite a bit. He has developed, with the help of Jimmy Ryan, a PhD scientist, he has been working on the GENIE test. And we talked about that at length our first episode, we&#8217;re gonna talk just a few more minutes about it, because I wanna talk a little bit about, touch upon COVID, hypocoagulation, and then a few minutes on glucose. And then we&#8217;ll talk a little bit about and wrap up talking about water damaged buildings and what is it in them that may be causing our problems. 
So, Ritch, COVID. I mean, I said I&#8217;ve had not much experience with COVID patients, I guess, thankfully, though I do feel like I&#8217;ve been left out, but when I did see a handful and I got blood work on them within the first week of either symptoms or exposure or positive tests, and I was very impressed with how elevated their D-dimers were and their ferritins right off the bat. I mean, in some of these people, their D-dimers were, you know, not high enough to get a hospital excited. They were only like two times normal or three times normal, but they were essentially asymptomatic. And so to me, it looked like, perhaps a lot of long-term COVID symptoms are because of these maybe initially silent microemboli or micro-thrombotic events. And I was wondering what your take is on that and if you&#8217;ve seen anything that correlates with that, looking at COVID patients and the GENIE test.
