Dr. Lauren Tessier, is a Naturopathic Physician licensed by the state of Vermont. Her practice, Life After Mold, uses a patient centered approach to help those suffering from mold related illness. Her approach is informed by my Naturopathic Medical education, in combination with Functional and Integrative Medicine. These tools allow her to truly address the entire person who establishes care with her.    Dr. Tessier's passion for treating those with mold related illnesses started when she moved to Waterbury, Vermont in 2013. She wanted to serve a small community in rural Vermont, however, nothing could have prepared her for what she was about to see. Waterbury, two years later, was still recovering from an unimaginable flood caused by Hurricane Irene in 2011. Patients sick with unexplainable rashes, allergies non-responsive to treatment, fatigue, breathing difficulties, neurological complaints, headaches, nausea, and general immune system dysfunction came to be seen, day after day. When the traditional western medicine and Naturopathic approaches didn't seem to work, that was when she decided to "dive deep" into what she suspected to be mold related illness.    Over several years and as a result of much time spent in research, education, and application of various protocols, she was able to develop approaches that got results. And after seeing many successful patient outcomes, she decided to develop a practice dedicated solely to the treatment of those suffering from illnesses relating to mold, biotoxins, mycotoxins and water damaged building exposure. Dr. Tessier takes great pride in that fact that Life After Mold is New England's ONLY CIRS certified Naturopathic Medical practice; and the ONLY CIRS certified Naturopathic Medical practice east of the Mississippi!   Additionally, Dr. Tessier is the Vice President of The International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI), The ISEAI is a nonprofit professional medical society that aims to raise awareness of the environmental causes of inflammatory illnesses and to support the recovery of individuals affected by these illnesses through the integration of clinical practice, education, and research.    Dr. Tessier received her Bachelors in Science from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Boston, where she graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's of Science in Premedical Sciences and Health Psychology. She then went on to undergo training as a Naturopathic Physician at the prestigious Bastyr University in Kenmore Washington. After earning her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, she returned to New England, finally calling Vermont home.

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about mold illness, Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), and "Life After Mold". About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Lauren Tessier. Lauren Tessier, ND is a Naturopathic Physician licensed in the state of Vermont. She received her Bachelors in Premedical Sciences and Health Psychology from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Boston and later became a Naturopathic Physician at Bastyr University in Kenmore, Washington. Her practice, Life After Mold, uses a patient-centered approach to help recover those that are suffering from mold-related illness. She combines naturopathic, functional, and integrative medicine to address the entire person. She is a Shoemaker Certified Physician specializing in the treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) which results from exposure to water-damaged buildings. In 2011, Hurricane Irene created an unimaginable flood in Waterbury, Vermont, and she was unprepared for what she would see next in her practice. Patients were ill with unexplained rashes, allergies that did not respond to treatment, fatigue, breathing difficulties, neurological complaints, headaches, nausea, and immune system dysfunction. When her normal approaches no longer worked for these patients, she dove deep into mold-related illness. Her practice is dedicated to helping those suffering with mold, biotoxin, and mycotoxin associated illness resulting from water-damaged buildings. As time passed, she came to the belief that the environment plays a role in all chronic illness. Environmental illness includes mold, heavy metals, glyphosate exposure, chronic infections such as Lyme disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Dr. Tessier is an Executive Board Member of the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI) which aims to advance medical knowledge surrounding environmentally acquired illness. Key Takeaways: - What are some of the environmental factors that may predispose an environment to water-damage and the potential for mold illness? - What are some of the illness-creating substances that are found in a water-damaged building? - What are common symptoms of CIRS? - Are there basic screening tests that can be performed of an environment before investing in an IEP? - How important are the HLA haplotypes in CIRS? - Is there clinical value in urinary mycotoxin testing? - Can molds encountered in a water-damaged building lead to colonization within the body? - When considering binders, what is absorption vs. adsorbtion? - Why is bile flow important and how might it be supported? - What options might help reducing inflammation in those with CIRS? - Are there downsides of exogenous glutathione supplementation? - How important is eradicating MARCoNS in CIRS? - How might VIP and Synapsin be helpful in those with CIRS? - What triggers Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and how might it be addressed? - When someone feels significantly worse, what rescue items might help to move through a detox or Herxheimer reaction? - Is there a role for limbic system retraining in CIRS?

Episode 15 of Vicious Talk with Benny P features an interview with my good friend Mike Mastroianni. We discussed his studies in premedical sciences, earning his Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences, and getting into medical school. This is part 1 of 2 of my interview with Mike. Happy Listening!

This week on Part II of our CRISPR series, guest correspondent Falguni Joshi continues exploring the nuances of the CRISPR patent dispute with Professor Sherkow and Steve Hollander. First, our guests explain the shift from a first-to-invent to a first-to-file system in the United States, the advantages of the change, and how the CRISPR patent dispute outcome would be different under a first-to-invent regime. Next, Professor Sherkow and Steve explore the procedural history from the interference proceeding through the Court of Appeals. Professor Sherkow explains why he thinks UC Berkeley’s chances of success on appeal are low. Our guests then turn to an interesting analogy, a foreign third party and practical considerations for UC Berkeley and the Broad Institute while the controversy is ongoing. This podcast wraps up with a conversation about the implications of the CRISPR patent dispute for the scientific and legal communities. Steven Hollander works in the area of not-for-profit and patent law and writes on the intersection of scientific innovation, bioethics, and law. He is a member of the New York City Bar Association's Bioethics Committee where he is the chair of the Patent Law Subcommittee. He received a B.A. from Washington University in St. Louis, a Certificate in Premedical Sciences from Columbia University, and a J.D., Cum Laude, from Maurice A. Dean School of Law at Hofstra University where he was an Associate Editor for the Hofstra Law Review. Professor Sherkow is an Associate Professor of Law at the New York Law School Innovation Center for Law and Technology, where he teaches a variety of courses related to intellectual property. His research focuses on how scientific developments, especially in the biosciences, affect patent law and litigation. Professor Sherkow has been a frequent commentator on patent matters in popular outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and NPR. He also has experience as a patent litigator at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in New York.   Music on this week’s episode: Clocks Set by Silent Partner: https://youtu.be/Ym8r-34xu0M Experimental by strange day: https://soundcloud.com/strange-day Our theme song is Roller Blades by Otis McDonald: https://youtu.be/Ym8r-34xu0M   Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/fordham-intellectual-property/id1158550285 and leave us a review!
