Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) corrects chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) acquired following exposure to water-damaged buildings
@article{Shoemaker2013VasoactiveIP, title={Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) corrects chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) acquired following exposure to water-damaged buildings}, author={R. Shoemaker and D. House and J. C. Ryan}, journal={Health}, year={2013}, volume={05}, pages={396-401} }
Exposure in
water-damaged buildings (WDB) to airborne bioaerosols including metabolic products
of toxigenic fungi, bacteria and actinomycetes; and inflammagens, can lead to
a persistent innate immune inflammatory illness. [...] Key Method Here we report
an open label trial of 20 patients with refractory CIRS-WDB illness who took replacement VIP in a nasal spray for at least 18 months with confirmation of
durable efficacy and absence of significant side effects.Expand
