NORMI Trademark Establishes Medical Advisory Board to Strengthen Assessment & Remediation Standards

Board Led by Environmental Illness Expert, Dr. Andrew Heyman, MD, Brings Clinical Insight to Mold Remediation Practices
Abita Springs, LA - The National Organization of Remediators and Microbial Inspectors (NORMI Trademark ) proudly announces the formation of its Medical Advisory Board, chaired by renowned environmental health expert Dr. Andrew Heyman, MD. This initiative represents a major milestone in aligning remediation practices with medical science - giving indoor air quality (IAQ) professionals, mold remediators, and water damage restoration specialists the tools to deliver safer, more effective outcomes for clients affected by mold-related illness.

The Medical Advisory Board will help refine NORMI's training programs and enhance industry best practices - particularly through validation of the Level Four Protocol, the foundation of the NORMI Certified Remediation for Sensitized Individuals (NCRSI Trademark ) credential.

Why It Matters for IAQ and Mold Professionals

For years, remediation teams have faced a common challenge: the home or building is "cleaned," but the client still experiences symptoms. The problem? Most protocols aren't designed with environmentally sensitized, chemically sensitive, or immune-compromised individuals in mind.

The Level Four Protocol, now endorsed by top environmental medicine professionals, fills that gap - empowering contractors to:

*
Address mold and microbial contamination beyond visual or structural signs

*
Reduce biotoxin loads for clients with inflammation, asthma, MCS, and related sensitivities

*
Prevent callbacks, post-remediation complaints, and loss of trust

"Too often, our members fix the building, but the people inside stay sick. With this collaboration, we now have a protocol that speaks to both sides of the equation," - Doug Hoffman, Executive Director, NORMI Trademark

Bridging Remediation and Medicine

The Medical Advisory Board, chaired by Dr. Heyman, includes leading figures in functional medicine, neuropsychiatry, and pharmacology who understand the health consequences of poor indoor environments:

*
Dr. Andrew Heyman, MD - Medical Director of Integrative Medicine, The George Washington University

*
Jim LaValle, RPh - Clinical Pharmacist and Metabolic Health Expert

*
Ray Solano, RPh - Compounding Pharmacist, Functional Medicine Specialist

*
Dr. Ross, MD - Director, Virginia Institute of Neuropsychiatry

*
Allison Remy, PA - Integrative Health Practitioner

"This collaboration is long overdue," said Dr. Heyman."Patients are being treated for mold-related illnesses while still exposed to the source. The Level Four Protocol finally gives remediation professionals a clear path forward. The NORMI Trademark Medical Advisory Board has reviewed the NORMI Trademark level 4 protocol and validates it as implemented by the NORMI Trademark trademarked NCRSI (Certified Remediation for Sensitized Individuals) professional, as medically sound remediation and offers a superior alternative to the industry standard which often fails the needs of sensitized patients."

Protocol Approved and Aligned with Industry Standards

The NORMI Level Four Protocol was officially reviewed and endorsed by the Medical Advisory Board as the most effective remediation model for sensitized individuals. It is fully aligned with IICRC S-520 and provides a step-by-step framework for assessing and remediating complex indoor environments.

Professionals who earn the NCRSI Trademark credential through NORMI training are now equipped with a clinically validated process that enhances credibility and improves outcomes.
