He lectures often on adverse human health effects caused by exposure to WDB; He has coined the phrase "chronic inflammatory response syndrome, (CIRS)" which touches on how mold exposure causes chronic, multisystem, fatigue-based, inflammatory disorders. In 2017, he was awarded a patent for diagnosis and treatment of CIRS. Additionally, he has conducted a study on grey matter nuclear atrophy in the brain and how inflammation affects the brain. He has taught students from at Johns Hopkins Medical School, the University of Maryland Medical School and Milton Hershey Medical School, in addition to practicing physicians.
An expert in his field, Dr. Shoemaker holds a Bachelor of Science and a Doctor of Medicine from Duke University. Utilizing his expertise in the industry, he has authored eleven books such as "Lose the Weight You Hate," "Mold Warriors," "Surviving Mold: Life in the Era of Dangerous Buildings," and "A Primer in Transcriptomics."
