Your child was totally fine one day… and the next, they’re anxious, have tics and OCD symptoms, can’t focus, or are acting like a “different kid.” 😔

You’re hoping it’s just a phase, and maybe it is.

❓But what if it’s actually PANS or PANDAS?

PANS (Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections) are a type of autoimmune brain inflammation that can cause sudden or gradual changes in mood, behavior, and learning.

It happens when the immune system, while fighting infection or toxin, accidentally attacks the brain.

Triggers can include:
🦠 Strep (even in the nose, skin, or gut), Lyme and confections
🦠 Viruses like EBV, influenza, or COVID-19
🌱 Mold, toxins, or heavy metals
🧬 Metabolic disturbances
💭 Psychologic stress

Symptoms can look “psychiatric” but are really rooted in neuroinflammation.

Awareness is the first step to healing, because PANS/PANDAS is too often misdiagnosed, or simply missed.

With an integrative, functional medicine approach, we can calm inflammation, find the root cause, and rebuild resilience from the inside out. 🌿

Today is PANDAS/PANS Awareness Day.❤️🧠

Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders associated with Streptococcal Infections, or PANDAS, is a common autoimmune disorder with far-reaching movement, behavioral, and cognitive consequences. Although we focus on the pediatric population by definition with PANS and PANDAS, immune-mediated OCD/Tics/Neuropsychiatric Disorders can also affect adolescent and adult populations and should always be considered when specific signs and symptoms emerge. Both PANS and PANDAS are clinical diagnoses differentiated by the abrupt onset of symptoms as listed below.

🔸Diagnostic Criteria🔸
◾️Abrupt, dramatic onset or recurrence of OCD
◾️Acute-onset anorexia and/or severe, restrictive eating disorder
◾️Concurrent presence of two of the following neuropsychiatric symptoms with severe and acute onset:
▪️Separation Anxiety
▪️Emotional lability
▪️Behavioral/developmental regression
▪️Sensory/motor abnormalities – handwriting deterioration
▪️Deterioration of school performance
▪️Urinary symptoms (urgency, frequency, enuresis)
▪️Sleep disturbance (difficulty falling asleep, REM disinhibition/restless sleep)

🔸Additional Signs and Symptoms🔸
There can be many signs, symptoms, and comorbid diagnoses noted in children with PANS/PANDAS including irritability, personality changes, aggression, uncontrolled agitation, fear about bedtime regimen, fidgetiness, emotional lability, motoric symptoms (tics, motoric hyperactivity, compulsive rituals), sensory defensiveness, impulsivity, depression, dysthymia, ADD, and ADHD in addition to those presented in the graphic below.

🚨 If you suspect that your child has PANDAS/PANS, it is essential that you get proper treatment immediately.

Below are helpful links that discuss symptoms, treatment options, as well as where to find a qualified physician to treat PANDAS/PANS:

Just a friendly reminder this October to watch out for pinkwashing… I was just in target this weekend and already saw the pink ribbon popping up. One of the things that truly gets under my skin is pink washing.

Pinkwashing happens when companies slap a pink ribbon on products in the name of “breast cancer awareness,” while those very same products may contain hormone disruptors, carcinogens, or other harmful ingredients that actually contribute to cancer risk.

Supporting breast cancer awareness should never come at the cost of our health or be used as a marketing gimmick. This month (and every month), let’s choose to support organizations and products that are truly aligned with prevention, research, and wellness, not just profit.

Awareness is important. But honesty matters more.

Follow for lower tox swaps for every budget and little ways you can improve your overall toxin load!

From
Brain and mental health are not political issues—they are sacred human rights.

With the sponsorship of the White House Faith Office, I had the honor of presenting in the Roosevelt Room of the West Wing today to HHS Secretary Kennedy on the urgent need for a National Brain Health Revolution. We are at a crossroads:

• 25% of Americans are on psychiatric medications.
• Anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and addiction are at epidemic levels.
• More than 1 billion people worldwide are struggling with brain and mental health challenges (WHO).
• Su***de in young people has increased 746% since 2000.

But this crisis is also our greatest opportunity. If we shift the conversation—not from “mental illness,” but to brain health—we can transform how we care for ourselves, our families, and our communities.

1 in 2 Americans will face a mental health challenge in their lifetime. If it’s not you, it will be someone you love. Brain health does not discriminate. It affects every race, every religion, every political party. This is not a partisan issue. This is a human issue. A sacred issue. And it’s time to unite behind a bold vision: a future where brain health is the foundation of a healthier, stronger, more purposeful nation.

The revolution has already begun. Join us in making brain health America’s top priority—because when we get our brains right, everything else will follow. More to come. 🇺🇸

Turns out they’ve known that Tylenol is a causative factor in the autism epidemic since 2018.

From the article: “The pharmaceutical company behind Tylenol privately acknowledged the likelihood of an association between its drug in pregnancy and neurodegenerative disorders like autism in children seven years ago, company documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.

“‘The weight of the evidence is starting to feel heavy to me,’ said Rachel Weinstein, U.S. director of epidemiology for Janssen, the pharmaceutical arm of Johnson & Johnson, in 2018.

“Johnson & Johnson marketed Tylenol at the time but in 2023 spun off its consumer products division into a separate company called Kenvue.“ Excellent article by Emily Kopp.

Headlines about Tylenol and autism have left many parents feeling confused 😟. What does the science really say? And what does the FDA’s new approval of leucovorin mean for families?

In my latest article, I break down:
✅ What the evidence really says (and what it doesn’t)
✅ Why no single factor “causes” autism
✅ Practical steps families can take now — to support detox, glutathione, and resilience
✅ What leucovorin’s new FDA approval means for children with autism and their families

My goal: replace fear and guilt with knowledge, hope, and action. 💙

Interesting…. So Tylenol themselves said way back on March 7, 2017 that pregnant women shouldn’t use their products.
It is well known and documented that it is a cause of liver injury and a leading cause of liver failure.
That certainly isn’t healthy for a developing baby!

In 2019 Tylenol publicly admitted that they never tested their product on pregnant women. And were asking people to reach out to them for coupons for thier untested products!

Does that make a difference for anyone? It’s Tylenol themselves saying it! Not someone you hate.

Finally people are asking the hard questions, digging deeper and trying to get answers! Finally parents are being heard and no longer gaslit! And somehow people are angry about it!

I am SO proud to say I know this amazing woman, her family and “Little Eddie” (whom I played with when he was just a baby!)
Keep fighting for awareness, keep sharing your families story and speaking openly and honestly Jackie!


Copy and pasted:

In the press conference today the President along with Sec. Kennedy, FDA head Marty Makary, NIH head Jay Bhattacharya and CMS head Mehmet Oz annihilated the orthodox narrative about autism and vaccines. The President and his staff his staff validated much of what the parents of vaccine-injured children diagnosed with autism have been saying for years.

The President has said that parents of children with autism have been lied to, gaslighted and vilified for telling the truth about what happened to their

For perhaps the first time ever the federal government has recommended a treatment, Leucovorin, for the physical symptoms of autism

He mentioned he has known at least four children who were developing normally and then regressed into autism following vaccines.

He said there is obviously an epidemic going on and that it has to be something in the environment that children are exposed to.

The President said that the genetic research of the last twenty years has been a waste of time and that the causes on autism must be environmental.

He said that mercury must be taken out of vaccines.

He said that aluminum must be removed from vaccines.

He said that the MMRV vaccine should not be used.

He said the measles, mumps, rubella, (MMR) should be broken up into separate shots for safety reasons, which has been the practice in Japan for a generation.

The hep b should not be given before 12 years old.

He said that multiple shots given to children should be broken up into four or five visits.

He unequivocally said women must not take Tylenol Acetaminophen/Paracetamol) while pregnant or give it to their infant children.

The President couldn't have made it clearer that he and his administration believes vaccines are a major, if not the major, cause of autism.

Another one I’ve been sharing about for years! It’s great to have more and more medical data coming out to support what we in the Holistic world have been saying!
{Repost Well Rooted Pediatrics}For decades, tonsil and adenoid removal have been considered “routine” childhood surgeries.
But new research challenges that belief.

A massive study of 1.2 million children, published in JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, tracked long-term health outcomes after these surgeries and found some alarming patterns:

😮 Tonsillectomy was linked to a nearly three-fold increase in the risk of later developing upper respiratory conditions like asthma, pneumonia, and chronic sinusitis.

😮 Adenoid removal, with or without tonsillectomy, was associated with higher rates of allergies, ear infections, and sinus issues over time.

This doesn’t mean these surgeries are never necessary — but it does highlight why exploring root causes and conservative options first is so important.
