NOTE: This post, originally written back in 2019, received a make-over in 2023. The original post was riddled with so many products that were purse bursting expensive and, I believe, ultimately caused kidney and gallbladder problems so I cannot recommend them. We had a huge crash and I felt my entire being just melt away after we had come so far. It was a huge let down. I was very disappointed in our doctor, the products, and mostly myself so I went back to the drawing board, found new modalities – namely Biofeedback. I went back to school to learn how to recover as it was clear we just could not receive any help. We were able to get back on track but it took a couple of years of education, research, money, trial, error, and a whole lot of patience.
The number one (and terribly loaded) question I’m asked is “which herbs did you use?” or “What protocol did you follow?” So, I’m listing everything in this post. A loaded question gets a loaded answer and this one IS loaded with information.
Detox (for us) has meant getting rid of symptom-causing pathogens. We also needed to detox biofilm, biotoxins like ammonia and mold, metals, retro-viruses, and other toxins whether they naturally came out with the parasites or pathogens or were individually targeted.
Many of the of the products we used in the beginning came from the professional line of Cell Core Biosciences products which can also be obtained at the Microbe Formulas website. A handful of these I might still recommend, case by case. However, if the organs are not properly working, namely liver and kidneys, you simply should not do this alone. You have to have good functional organs – the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, leaky gut healed, and the ability to evacuate feces beforehand. We used all of the below, and probably the only ones I would suggest to friends today are Paras 1 and 2, and Biotoxin Binder – and only IF the client is able to regularly drink large amounts of liquid to flush out the system. I have found other, less expensive items and protocols that work efficiently and safely, without all these costly products and pills.
- Para 1
- Para 2
- Kidney and Liver Detox
- Lymph Detox
- Biotoxin Binder
- HM-ET Binder
- Viral and Toxins Binder
- Biomolecular Oxygen
- Bio-Active Carbon Minerals
- Bowel Mover
- MitoATP
- ViRadChem Binder
- Tudca
- L-Glutathione
But there were others we needed for parasites and Lyme co-infections. As part of my 2023 update – we used all of these below in 2019; however, I deduced that part of PANS for us was chronic Lyme. I began following Buhner’s plans for Lyme. As a practitioner myself now, I still revert back to mostly Buhner’s protocols, classic homeopathy, and some products from Des Bio and Anova health for supports. These are minimal and affordable.
- Morinda Supreme
- Clarkia
- Formula III from Nature’s Pharmacy
- Prep Phase by Systemic Formulas
- Body Phase by Systemic Formulas
- Brain Phase by Systemic Formulas (up and coming)
Apex Energetics products helped leaky gut and provided support.
- Repair Vite, Repair Vite – SE, Repair Vite – GT As a 2023 Update, I would not recommend this. We used Biofeedback and Intestinal Restore and Des Bio products for a more effective and lasting healing.
- Clear Vite PCH
- Neuro-Flam
- Neuro – O2
- Vitamin D3
Also used as a binder for extra ammonia from both die off and protein digestion:
- N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) from Zymogen
I also used an array homeopathics on the side. I want to interject here that homeopathics are my number one go to for ailments because as long as the immune system is still fairly intact, homeopathy alone will cure most issues. I have witnessed it countless times using it solely in our home for about a dozen years. I also became a clinical, classical Homeopath myself. However, I have also witnessed that when the immune system is too far debilitated with systemic and chronic infection, classic homeopathy alone cannot make the body function properly the way it can with an intact immune system. Herbs and supplements better that main role while using binders to alleviate the die off symptoms. As we had more immune healing, homeopathics became more effective; but herbs allowed me better detox control and support until we got to that point. Homeopathics are very case specific and require a homeopathic intake to prescribe, especially so with chronic symptoms on board. If you are looking for a professional homeopath come over to New Leaf Holistic and book an appointment.
Other herbs I used came from Sage Woman Herbs and Woodland Essence.
- Ashwagandha (adrenals in the pm)
- Chinese Skullcap
- Cryptolepis
- Rhodiola (adrenals in the am)
- Milk Thistle (liver)
- Dandelion (liver)
- Passion Flower (anxiety)
- Cordyceps (lung support)
- Chinese Cat’s Claw (for damaged physiological structures)
- Stephania (Bell’s palsy)
- Bidens Pilosa (excellent anti-inflammatory and calms digestion tract)
- Red Sage (lymph drainage)
- Dan Shen
- Greater Celandine
- Bacopa
Other detox aids we used to either soothe, support, or further detox:
- Ionic Foot Bath (further detoxes, so be careful!)
- Castor Oil Liver Packs
- Infrared Heat
- Massage
- Reflexology
- Chinese Body Clock
Miscellaneous Supplements:
- ALA
- Magnesium
- Liposomal Glutathione
- Zinc
- B6 (as P5P)
- Vibrant Blue Oils (essential oils) – I used spleen, kidney, bladder, gall bladder, nerve repair, liver, parasympathetic, thyroid, and anti-inflammatory.
- Vitamin B-12
- NAC
- Vitamin C
- Quercitin
Diet was also key.
- AIP protocol
- Organic food
- Filtered water
- Remove food allergens
- Remove inflaming foods – gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, nightshades, sugar, GMO’s
- Be aware of oxalates, salicylates, phenols, and histamines and adjust diet.
This has been a long haul since I had to take care of ailing members as well as go back to school. If you are coping with PANDAS – the flares, auditory hallucinations, severe OCD, rages and aggression – then I would seriously look into healing by detoxing. It really has helped us, although if your case is severe, plan on it taking a couple of years. If your immune system is still pretty good, you most likely will snap back very quickly! But the cases I have experience with are very extreme and severe with organ problems and a high level of debility, so this is the angle I am coming from. Over the last 10 years, Biofeedback has been, by far, the top aid for recovery. It was so good that I went back to school to become a Certified Biofeedback Specialist. Today, I can use this to glean useful information, deliver frequency to reduce the stress surrounding these ailments, and retrain muscles and brain waves of the body to help it to wellness again. Our life of sheer hot-mess-hell has been turned around. Bright futures are replacing abysmal uncertainty. I now have rest instead of sleepless nights followed by trauma filled days. I still read about parents treating PANDAS with astronomical amounts of antibiotics and psychotropic drugs which points to doctors who really don’t understand the massive amounts of damage alongside die off being caused. Parents don’t understand why cure isn’t happening and why symptoms get worse. PANDAS is not mental at it’s root anyway so why the psychotropic drugs? If you’re looking for a better way come over to New Leaf Holistic and lets work together.
