Questions swirl around Jordan Peterson's health as daughter asks for prayer

by Mitti Hicks

Questions continue to swirl around Canadian psychologist and author Jordan Peterson's health after his daughter asked for prayers for her father, who is out of the hospital but still not doing well. 

"He's still not doing well, but he's not doing as badly as he was," his daughter, Mikhaila Fuller, wrote on Instagram. "Prayers are still much appreciated." 

She went on to say that the family still is not 100 percent sure of what is going on with Jordan's health, but they have a great team of specialists treating him. 

"We're waiting, hoping, and praying for recovery," Fuller added.

Fuller's post comes after Peterson, 63, was diagnosed with chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), the Christian Post reports. 

In August, she announced that he would be stepping away from his public commitments to focus on treatment. A few months later, he reportedly spent nearly a month in intensive care and was unable to communicate with relatives for weeks. 

According to Dr. Hina Zaman, CIRS is a multi-system, multi-symptom condition that's triggered when the body's immune system has an inappropriate and ongoing response to environmental toxins, particularly from mold, Lyme disease, and other sources. Common symptoms include profound fatigue and weakness, cognitive difficulties, joint pain without inflammation, unexplained muscle pain and cramping, and more. 

While Peterson does not identify as Christian, his views echo biblical concepts. His followers view him as "culturally Christian" because a lot of his work features the Bible's influence on present-day topics and politics.
