PANS and PANDAS Support Protocol
Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS).
As a naturopathic and functional medicine doctor, I’ve crafted this evidence-based protocol to support children and families facing the challenges of PANS and PANDAS.
Introduction
Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) are disorders where a child’s immune system mistakenly attacks the brain following an infection—like Streptococcus in PANDAS, or other triggers like viruses in PANS. This can lead to sudden, dramatic symptoms such as obsessive-compulsive behaviors (OCD), tics, anxiety, mood swings, or even handwriting changes, often leaving parents searching for answers.
My approach focuses on addressing the root causes—think inflammation, immune overactivity, and gut-brain imbalances—while supporting the body’s natural healing processes with a personalized, science-backed plan.
Why This Protocol?
Guided by functional medicine principles using the naturopathic approach to address the potential root cause of dysfunction. Inflammation and gut health play important roles in neuroimmune conditions like PANS and PANDAS. It’s designed to calm the storm of symptoms with practitioner-grade supplements, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle strategies tailored to your child’s unique needs.
