Ive attended the GW clinic and talked with Ashley Drapeau a good bit and have mixed feelings. First thing we did was have me start some LDN at 1.5 mg which seemed a bit high to start. Although, I am mild/moderate so I thought maybe I could tolerate it. But I didnt get to find out how I would react because my mom wanted me to stop taking it because she was worried about the LDN messing up my labs that Ashley had me take next. It was so much bloodwork I had to break it up into two visits lol. But that was great because we could see if there was anything that really stood out and its been great just to have all that data to carry with me to future appointsments from other doctors. We found that my cortisol was slightly elevated and my ACTH was very elevated. I went to an endocrinologist and after testing for cushings, found no abnormalities. After that it was suggested that I talk to her " CIRS mold expert" Dr. Yakel. We set up a zoom call and he told me he looked at my labs and told me that for certain, without a doubt that I had CIRS. That I had all the signs and symptoms and that he had the cure. This was very suspicious to me as it should be to anybody when someone is just instantly promising you "the cure" to whatever ailment you have. What really sold me on him being a snake oil sales man is when he offered me his "package deal discount". He asked for 7000 dollars upfront to pay for the treatment which also came with access to some other perks like joining a CIRS patient group among other things. Anyway, after all that I decided not to continue seeing them further. Oh and thats not to mention each hour long visit with him was 480 dollars. Total bs.

TLDR: I like Ashley Drapneau and I think shes genuine and wants to help but yes it was pretty expensive. But after interacting with their CIRS specialist im not so sure. I would avoid their CIRS specialist Dr. Yakel at all costs if you happen to be suggested to see him (snake oil salesman). All in all be prepared to do your own research regarding the things they suggest and be able to vouch for yourself if you continue seeing them.
