CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, affects children too! And often can be treated far easier than the treatment for adults. Today, we have a very special guest, Pediatrician and FIRST EVER Shoemaker certified doctor, Dr. Scott McMahon. We ask him all the big questions about CIRS in children: how to diagnose, how to treat, how it manifests, and how to get your pediatrician on board with the Shoemaker Protocol. Disclaimer: this is not medical advice, please consult a CIRS literate doctor for help treating you or your children’s CIRS. ALSO: Stay tuned until the end for EXCITING news about CIRSx 2025 and the first ever CIRS online Summit!
