Too often, parents are told their child doesn’t have PANDAS because strep tests or A*O antibodies are negative during a flare.

❌This is a basic misunderstanding of the pathophysiology of PANDAS. PANS/PANDAS can be diagnosed without any tests.

So where does testing come in? 🧪
• To rule out other conditions that look similar but require different treatments
• To give an initial direction for therapy
• To monitor inflammation or total body burden of toxins/infections

Dr. Scott has been invited to be a featured speaker at the annual ILADS conference in San Antonio!

The first step in our Fully Functional Process is to IDENTIFY. This is all about uncovering what may be harming your health, such as toxins, triggers, and stressors.

Many chemicals are added to food to make the color more appealing, to make the food taste better, or to increase its shelf life. There are at least 150 peer-reviewed articles in the medical literature which clearly document the harmful effects of food additives and preservatives. It’s worth taking a closer look at the food we’re consuming & how it’s making us feel!

*Please note we never recommend restricting or changing the diet of children with food restrictive behaviors or weight loss. Speak with your doctor before making dietary changes*

For far too long, PANDAS and PANS have been dismissed because they don’t fit neatly into traditional psychiatric frameworks. Children with PANS & PANDAS aren’t just “acting out”— they’re experiencing real, immune-driven brain inflammation. It’s time to expand our understanding of mental illness and advocate for better recognition, research, and treatment. **Once you see enough patients through our framework, you will understand there is no such thing as “Mental Illness”, just unduagnosed medical conditions like PANS which give symptoms — but the symptoms are not the cause.

Trouble sleeping is not just a symptom—it’s a signal. Insomnia is common in kids with PANS/PANDAS and may point to something deeper.

If sleep is a struggle in your home too, just know you’re not alone. 💛

The symptoms of PANS/PANDAS are the same, but an individualized treatment approach is necessary for healing!

Symptoms can include (but are not limited to) severe neuropsychiatric symptoms such as food refusal, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), sleep disturbance, anxiety, defiant behavior, tics, and trouble with bladder control. Often these symptoms appear suddenly.

Give us a call or visit thepandasdocs.com if you’re interested in becoming a patient! We can only treat US residents at The Center For Fully Functional Health and the first visit must be done in person in Carmel, IN.

Reducing symptoms in PANS and PANDAS is best accomplished by using a wide range of therapeutics, including prescription medications,supplements, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

There is not a “one size fits all” approach to healing. Make sure your practitioner takes a multi-faceted approach and provides individualized care!

One of the main things we try to manage and reduce in children with PANS and PANDAS is inflammation. Did you know stress causes increased inflammation in the body? Stress can be caused by different triggers for different people.

With each patient, we are trying to eliminate stress to decrease inflammation and shorten the time to complete recovery for the patient.

There are many misconceptions about hypnosis. We’ve all seen movies or TV shows where a victim is unknowingly “hypnotized” by the villain and forced to do terrible things against their will, with no memory of the events afterward. Though created entirely for cinematic drama, those plot lines have cultivated a lot of fear and mistrust about hypnosis.

We have many Christian patients in our practice question whether hypnosis aligns with their beliefs, in large part because of misunderstandings fostered by pop culture.

When used correctly it can be a great healing tool! For more information check out our free blog post:

There is also more detailed information pertaining to hypnosis for PANS/PANDAS written in Dr. Scott’s book!

Nearly 100% of our patients with PANS and PANDAS have evidence of mold exposure.

Mycotoxins are organic poisons released by molds. There is evidence that mycotoxins are neurotoxins and exposure can cause neuropsychiatric symptoms.

If a home has no evidence of visible mold, a positive environmental mycotoxin test may indicate hidden mold, past mold which is not active, or mycotoxins which have been transferred on belongings from another location.

If you suspect mold exposure, We recommend an in-person mold inspection from a qualified professional as the first step!

When evaluating root causes in PANS/PANDAS, vitamin D is a non-negotiable piece of the lab workup.

Vitamin D supports the immune system’s ability to respond without overreacting.

It’s essential for proper brain development and homeostasis, immune modulation, antioxidant processes, and the inflammatory response. Studies have shown lower levels of vitamin D in patients with OCD, and there is a direct correlation between symptom severity and deficiency.

Vitamin D is an essential and low-risk place to evaluate in your healing journey. Talk to your doctor about supplementation if needed and make sure to get outside this summer as well ☀️

Gluten and glyphosate may play a role in brain and immune health, especially in kids with PANS or PANDAS.⁠
⁠
That said, we never recommend restricting or changing the diet of a child with food restrictive behaviors or weight loss concerns. Dietary shifts should always be supported by a healthcare provider. 💚⁠
⁠
If you’ve made any dietary changes, has it helped you on your healing journey?!
