PANDAS – The Detox Depot

Hellward Plunge

Posted on June 23, 2020December 10, 2023 by Annie Eskeldson

I have been an absentee blogger for months as all of my time and energy has been poured into doctoring one of ours back to health, again.

I still can’t believe he could tank so low after we had recovered so high. This upheaval was unbearable after achieving a doable level of life.

In addition to improved physical health, we had gained a degree of emotional healing as the final visuals of property damage were getting sorted alongside the heavy emotions surrounding the PANDAS/PANS trauma we’d lived for so many years.

We had healing. I was happy. I was helping others along the same treacherous path.

And out of nowhere, we were rudely side-swiped with organ problems. Gall bladder and liver were the issue at first; kidneys and bladder were to follow. The organs were clogged, full of stones, and basically a rat’s nest of dysfunction and intolerable pain on top of the leaky gut, full blown eczema, and parasite problems that were already obvious.

In the very moment when our doctor was identifying the problems of our backslide, I instantly dissolved into a puddle of anxiety and grief. I felt alone and medically deserted, once again. A migraine overtook me so bad that I was not cohesive, and I could no longer speak. I was in shock. An appointment for my son suddenly became mine. The doctor gave me some pressure points to compress and after about twenty minutes, my head pain along with the panic drained like rushing water from my brain. I cried, uncontrollably, for two hours while my shivering body craved sunlight so desperately that, like a cat, I followed the sun around the windows of our home to stay in it’s beams.

Once the migraine pain was gone and my emotions settled, I immediately braced myself to carefully prod along, one step at a time, to solve these gargantuan organ problems. My resolve became stronger than ever.

I’m happy and proud to say that five months later this roller coaster ride of medical complications has taken me on a journey, once again, that may provide insight for others.

I’m going to be writing about how we are solving our gall bladder, liver, and urinary tract problems including liver and kidney stones which I hope others find helpful and mind blowing. These posts will be soon to follow as I’m still gathering my overwhelming thoughts and every day of success is another brick of proof. I will include resources and supplements we used.

I want to address what caused the downward plunge so others can maybe avoid the same pitfalls. Why did we go down so hard and so dramatically after gaining so much ground? What happened? After all, we spent years and thousands of dollars on healing. Was it a complete waste?

The answers here are many, so I’m just going to list them.

First, detoxing too fast with organs that are weak is a no-no. How fast is too fast? That’s individual. For one of my family members even slow is too fast. He needs ultra-micro slow. In my opinion, needing to add bile salts is a red flag that you are moving too fast. Some may indeed just need the support. However, if auto-immunity is why you’re detoxing (PANDAS, PANS, ASD included), I’d proceed with caution.

Second, binders. We used doctor prescribed binders that you can get from Microbe Formulas. We’ve successfully used them all, but one particular binder that binds viruses, radiation, and chemicals has a formula that has recently changed. We were using the old formula and people were complaining about urinary problems like we were….a year ago. They have since changed the formula, so hopefully others do not have issue like we did., but to say that I’m upset about using a binder that was causing urinary problems is an understatement, because this is what started clogging the whole system. When using binders it is very important to drink a ton of water. Microbe Formulas recommends three times the amount of water normally consumed.

Third. Without our permission or knowledge, our electric company trespassed onto our property and installed a smart meter which I have vehemently refused for years because of the sensitivity my family has to EMF, WiFi, and radiation. This installation aligns perfectly with our decline in health.

In conclusion, this is just an update to where I’ve been and a short list of stumbling blocks. My next posts are going to outline the amazing journey we have been on recovering from some major organ disorders.

I will give you a little hint and mention that we have been using Biofeedback the last four months with incredible results. A trusted bestie in the trenches recommended it to me. I will write more specifically about how we have eczema all clear (again), leaky gut healed, ulcers healing, liver and kidney stones on their way out and so much more from just four short months of biofeedback.

I’ll be back soon to write about healing the gall bladder and liver. See you then!

detox, PANDAS, Parasites

Perspective on Pandas and Parasites

Posted on June 9, 2019October 22, 2019 by Annie Eskeldson

Based on pieces of our own puzzle plus reading the experiences of others, I have a theory that PANDAS has a strong chance of cure simply by getting rid of parasites because parasites are at the root of PANDAS more than strep. In fact, I think PANDAS may just be a symptom of chronic, systemic parasite infection.

What we experienced with PANDAS was recurrent strep infections via sore throats and peri-anal strep. We had ‘flares’ seemingly coming from nowhere but over time ‘triggers’ were identified and heaven and hell were routinely moved to avoid them. We experienced debilitating OCD that could burn a full 8 hours and included aggression and rage. We also had auditory hallucinations.

Because our health is already damnably compromised by ‘modern’ medicine, I had zero interest in their ‘help’ with PANDAS. Seeking natural alternatives led us to parasites, Lyme and co-infections, retro-viruses, and a whole bag of biotoxins, biofilm, and metals clogging up neurotransmitters and preventing methylation. The parasites had established a firm root as evidenced by this hot mess and worse, PANDAS symptoms.

We did treat, all naturally, and as we got those parasites under control, guess what else dissipated?

PANDAS. In fact, we are now symptom free.

Even though treatment has so far lasted 18 months, the symptoms of PANDAS began to disappear after the first 4 months and gradually faded until completely eradicated by 18 months out. No IVIG or Stem Cell Therapy necessary, just detox.

Researching Dr. Klinghardt, Stephen Buhner, going through our experience and education with Dr. Moore in addition to reading the cases of others has led me to conclude that PANDAS is actually caused by underlying parasites. Why? Why would I believe in this versus the strep theory? Because, undeniably, strep infection is present as determined by blood tests.

My first clue is what I’ve witnessed in my own home. I was shocked that treating parasites also got rid of PANDAS. I had no expectation of that. Many people believe their ASD issues are actually PANDAS and Dr. Klinghardt has found that 99% of his patients with ASD also have Lyme. There seems to be a connection there.

In addition, so many of the stories I read are about patients who seek out conventional doctors who typically do not hunt down parasites and even when they do, they are unaware that lab tests for parasites are mostly false negatives. But what conventional doctors do test for frequently is strep. And what they find is very high numbers of DNase B antibodies, thereby believing that strep is causing the PANDAS.

If you study parasites, you will learn that parasites are incredibly clever, manipulative, and focused. They can control their host, making the body act out in ways it normally wouldn’t: tics, meltdowns, flares, rage, aggression, OCD, hallucinations, etc. They are busy building their infrastructure called biofilm that clogs neurotransmitters so the brain doesn’t receive commands, hormones don’t fire correctly, and methylation genes get switched off so that toxins like metals, ammonia, and mold can’t get out of the body causing sensory problems, speech delays, and non-verbal issues. Oddly sounds like ASD, doesn’t it?

Parasites are so efficient that they will even employ other parasites and pathogens to do their dirty work. They easily destroy the gut biome (ASD), and a pathogen like strep could be coerced by a parasite to continue its attack of the basal ganglia of the brain on behalf of the parasites, and, in return, it will be allowed to live and proliferate. Strep numbers then grow out of control, being easily identified by blood tests from which conventional docs determine strep as the cause of PANDAS.

But really, it’s the parasites that are in control. Put another way, it’s the parasite infection that is causing the PANDAS. In other words, PANDAS is a symptom of parasite infection.

Another clue that parasites are the culprit comes from case studies about patients who are treating strep and experience exacerbated symptoms. Those over the top reactions are eerily similar to die off or herx. Patients herx because they are killing too fast and not just killing strep, but rather parasites. Mistakenly, they are taking no systemic binders nor have any concern for the gut or detoxing organs. They’ve fallen for the ‘infection means an antibiotic blowtorch’ approach and now they’re seeing the blow-back (behaviors) of killing pathogens (unbeknownst, parasites) too fast, without binders, without organ support, without healing the gut.

Because we see a natural doctor skilled in healing the whole body, we were able to keep our die off at a minimum by re-adjusting (herbal) antibiotic dosages, reducing detox and titrating back up, using systemic binders for toxins, always supporting the detox organs, and healing the gut. But I don’t see this vocabulary from patients using conventional medicine. They believe the antibiotics are killing strep only while parasites aren’t even on their radar. They don’t understand the worsening of symptoms as it is related to herxing and are unaware of the need to bind those toxins given off by dying parasites to cool the exacerbated symptoms. They don’t have the vocabulary or the tools because their doctors don’t think outside of the synthetic drug box.

In addition, the conventional meds are long term. Why? It’s not that it takes so long to kill a strep infection. I have two ideas: one is that the parasites protect their investment – that is the strep, and two, while the antibiotics do get some of the strep and parasites, initially, it’s not a specific enough antibiotic to target parasites and they easily build up a resistance to synthetics anyway. This doesn’t happen with herbal antibiotics which are much more potent, efficient, and safe.

Another clue is both the success and failure of IVIG and Stem Cell Therapy. For some it works, for others it works after several attempts, or it works for awhile then symptoms all return, or it is all together unsuccessful. My theory here is that the successes happen in bodies who have already detoxed, or detoxed enough that the new, healthy, or oxygenated cells are strong enough to beat the rest of the infections. Or, it works in bodies that aren’t too far down yet. The failures happen because the bodily environment is still toxic. New cells have been introduced into an environment filled with parasites, biofilm, metals, biotoxins, glyphosate, leaky gut, and an over-all immune system that doesn’t yet work. The new cells cannot survive here and they die, just like the cells before them. You have to detox before getting IVIG or Stem Cell Therapy or else it’s a waste. In my further opinion, if you detox enough, IVIG or Stem Cell Therapy will not be necessary.

Having a mathematical, analytical mind, I naturally try to find patterns from research, experience, and case studies which could be generally applied in the face of medicine which isn’t an exact science. Most cases are specific and individual, at least on the surface. But my theory holds a thread of commonality at its core which could provide cure. Disease is caused by toxins that enable the parasites (everybody has them) to overrun the body by destroying the gut, immunity, the organs, and the blood causing extreme symptoms such as ASD, PANS, PANDAS, cancer, every auto-immune disease, and pre-mature death.

Before you decide that’s a little broad, remember, at our house, we did get rid of PANDAS by thoroughly cleaning the body of parasites. Going farther. I believe we are healing the immune system so that it can control parasite numbers all by itself. It’s not just working for PANDAS, but also for PANS and ASD, in more than just one patient.

And, we’ve done it all naturally.

Asd, Pans, Pandas, Lyme, and Parasites

Posted on April 17, 2019December 23, 2023 by Annie Eskeldson

I have spent countless hours reviewing medical journals and articles, as well as poring over experiences posted in medical/parental support groups in hopes of finding help for my family coping with severe ASD. The anguish I read and the agony we have lived has fully traumatized me. I have worked so hard on these issues in our home, and I know you have too. I have done everything minus stem cell and now I wish I had started here, with parasites, first. I hope I can save you years of distress. (Edit 2023 – I just went back to college. It was clear that no one could help us. I focused on Homeopathy, Biofeedback, and natural medicine. It is clear to me still, that detox needs to happen, but Biofeedback, Homeopathy, and Herbal were the clear winning protocols for us and what I focused on in school. I opened my own practice and there is a link below the article if you would like help.)

We had been through the whole ASD debacle which, for us, is vaccine injury and vitamin K poisoning as per pediatrician MD and immunologist MD/PhD.

I have been recovering our family for about 15 years, half of which I didn’t even realize I was using biomed. Diet and gut were obvious issues that I somewhat addressed during the early years. But intentionally, I have used biomed for over seven years implementing diet changes, supplementation, safe chelation which was incredibly helpful for one of mine; scores of blood, urine, stool, and hair samples, allergy shots, camel milk, homeopathy, MAPS doc, tons of therapy, the whole nine yards.

But nothing kicked recovery square into high gear like connecting the dots of ASD, PANS, PANDAS, Lyme and parasites. Once this connection was made we got full relief from PANDAS, became able to control PANS while ASD and Lyme continue to die a slow death.

We did not use a single (pharma) antibiotic, we definitely did not use a single psychotropic drug. And, from my research, all of the above makes things worse.

Why?

Because the body is already boiling over with infection, the gut is often so wholly ruined, and the immune system can no longer methylate (process) the destructive properties of synthetic drugs out of the body. Let’s get real here. The toxic, chemical ingredients of pharma drugs aren’t recognized by the body as healing. There is nothing in the body composed of those chemicals. How could the body be healed by anything that un-natural, indeed toxic?

The strain causes the body to completely snowball as it tries to rid itself of manufactured medicine. What’s worse, the drugs are suppressive, pushing illness further into the body, exponentially risking further auto immune disease. We need infections to come out, not cram them back in. We see this all the time with eczema and steroid use: eczema >asthma>food allergies>leaky gut>Crohns> ASD or other mental illness. We are brainwashed to not see the association, but critically connecting the dots reveals that steroid use, especially, causes mental and behavioral problems. Nowadays, so many of us are eyewitnesses to the destructive nature of Western medicine that it is difficult to defend it anymore.

We manage the complications of PANDAS and PANS, ASD, Lyme and co-infections by detoxing parasites and infections using biofeedback, herbals, homeopathics. As a side note, we have also regenerated the organs as well. Namely the digestive organs, thyroid, kidneys, and liver. Lyme can do a lot of damage to the organs so restoring them is important. Signs that these are healed are regular and proper bowel movements without pain, better emotions and mental ability, reduced food allergens, eczema clearing up, regular urination without pain, gallstones and kidney stones reduced or eliminated, and the colic of the same organs reduced and eliminated as well.

The surprising benefit of parasite and infection detox was witnessing the symptoms of ASD, PANDAS and PANS melt away. It was gradual, yet obvious, and despite the length of time it takes to properly detox, it did not take long for the benefits to appear. Flares lost intensity and frequency, triggers disappeared, trivial incidents causing psycho-drama lasting for hours no longer tormented us, auditory hallucinations ceased, OCD and repetitive questions stopped, and symptoms of ‘ASD’ improved. One of my family members dropped a whopping 75 points from ATEC score and finally became potty trained at the age of nine. These are just a handful of many examples.
