Brewer protocol
Dr. Brewer developed a treatment protocol after publishing his research findings on the effects of mold in chronic illness, which were co-authored with Jack Thrasher and Dennis Hooper. The protocol involves:
 * Use of intranasal sinus products to remove the biofilm from the nose and sinuses
 * Use of powerful antifungals, typically amphotericin and nystatin to destroy the mold or mycotoxins

The Brewer Protocol aims to improve health by removing colonized mold or mycotoxins in order to stop frequent infections of the nasal passsages and sinuses.
