My son was diagnosed with PANDAS a little over 2 years ago. We took him to a specialist and he was put on heavy doses of antibiotics. He was also prescribed Prednisone and was put on 3 motrin a day 3 times a day. After months of watching his health further decline and symptoms worsen, the doctor recommended IVIG. They did a blood workup on him and found his white blood cell count was dangerously low. This was when I knew I had to find another option. I found a man who had used essential oils on his son and had incredible results. I was desperate to try anything. We followed the structured plan and 9 and a half months in my son was close to 90% better. I can not tell you it was easy, it was a rollercoaster ride for sure. Today he only has slight flares when everyone around him is sick and his body is trying to fight it off. Out of my 3 children he is the only one who does not end up with a full blown flu or cold when the others are in bed with fever and out of school. His grades are back up from Cs and Ds to As and Bs, he is exceeding in all the sports he played prior to PANDAS, he no longer has any motor or verbal tics, all signs of OCD have vanished and his personality is back to happy, warm and funny. The only thing I still see once in a while is his ability to regulate emotion. There are times he can go from 0 to 100 in seconds. This could be a learned behavior from the full year of being ill, but I can’t be sure. Raindrop Therapy for kids with PANDAS uses a few different oils than the standard technique. I also used carrier oils for the “warm” oils like Oregano.
I would be more than happy to answer any questions I can.
Just to clarify – the essential oils I use are 100% pure and DO NOT contain chemicals. I consider them plant medicine. The only chemicals used on my son were the long months of antibiotics that we thought would help.
I will also say that some children do very well with the antibiotics and improve quickly, my son was not one of them.
