Dr. Yale (Yoel) R. Smith, MD, at The Center for Anti-Aging Aesthetic and Rejuvenation Medicine (CAARM), is recommending Visual Contrast Sensitivity (VCS) testing for readers who have been exposed to mold or who are living or have lived in water-damaged homes. This test can identify a condition called Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), often triggered by mold exposure.

CIRS is marked by a wide range of seemingly unrelated symptoms—including digestive issues, brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, sinus issues and mood swings—and often remains undiagnosed. The VCS Test is a quick, non-invasive online screening tool that measures the eye’s ability to detect contrast. “Many people live with chronic symptoms without realizing they’ve been exposed to biotoxins,” says Dr. Smith. “This $20 online test can be the first step toward getting real answers and effective treatment. The test takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete and is 97.5% accurate in identifying contrast sensitivity deficits associated with biotoxin illness.”

Dr. Smith, founder of CAARM, is now in the examination process to be certified as a CIRS Proficiency Partner Diplomat. He follows the Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker Protocol for diagnosing and guiding patients through personalized, evidence-based recovery.
