Summary (generated — provider review required)

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is an endogenous neuropeptide with broad regulatory roles in immune modulation, vasodilation, and neuroendocrine signaling. In the chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) / mold-illness literature associated with Shoemaker protocols, intranasal VIP is discussed as a later-stage intervention after other corrective steps.
