JulieMc Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Has anyone tried homeopathy, functional medicine, or gfcfsf diets to treat PANDAS? If so, was it successul? I just talked to a friend of mine last night who said she treated her son with lycine, Virastop, Vit. c, and olive leaf extract. She successfully recovered her son from full-blown autism, PANDAS, sensory issues, etc. He recently lost his diagnosis. So, I trust what she says.
Stephanie2 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 In terms of autism, we have had tremendous success with biomedical but it is constant upkeep and expensive. In terms of pandas, the one thing that helped the most is zithromax, followed by spironolactone and LDN. My 6yo had one mid-dose IVIG infusion and it helped but only temporarily. Steroids have also helped. We do a lot ot support the immune system and methylation pathway, mitochondrial dysfunction which I think all need to be managed to help the body to deal with infections. We are out of the acute crisis of pandas, but have found that the chronic use of antibiotics just wreak havoc on our boys' guts and therefore we are looking into other alternatives, including the treatment of lyme and/or homeopathy.
