Does your child have rages, OCD, tics, aggressive behavior, prolonged tantrums and/or anxiety? Is your child exhibiting sudden behavioral changes or a developmental regression? Your child may have PANS. PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) is an umbrella term which includes diagnoses such as PANDAS, PITANDS, and Autoimmune Encephalitis--all of which describe a condition marked by concerning psychiatric and physical symptoms that often appear suddenly. Children in the US are being diagnosed with PANS at a very concerning rate. What is behind this epidemic? What makes a child vulnerable to these conditions? Most importantly, what can be done to bring to bring our kids back to good health? In this book you will learn:• What PANS, PANDAS, and Autoimmune Encephalitis are and why so many children are being diagnosed with these conditions.• What causes PANS.• Why PANS is so commonly seen in children with autism.• How PANS is treated.• How to get to the root cause(s) of PANS.• What parents of children with PANS have done to bring their children back to good health.• What leading PANS experts have to say about the cause and treatment of PANS. Epidemic Answers is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to reestablishing vibrant health in our children and ourselves through education, empowerment and prevention."Brain Under Attack is an ambitious undertaking for even the most savvy physicians and scientists regarding the increasing prevalence of neuro-autoimmune disorders (PANS) now facing our children. With statistics indicating that as many as 1 in 200 children are now affected with PANS, parents will again be challenged with a condition of significant disabling severity, with a paucity of resources for assistance. This book provides the reader with the necessary tools to help their affected children via the provision of an excellent overview, case studies, opinions from experts, resources and glossary of terms in a compelling, parent-friendly format, while being current with the latest information available from the field of integrative medicine. An up-to-date laboratory assessment on how to test for PANS is also discussed. Kudos to Lambert and Rickert-Hong for bestowing this handbook for parents and practitioners alike!"--Michelle Perro, MD, Pediatrician and Co-Author of the Bestselling Book What’s Making our Children Sick?"Brain Under Attack is a must-have resource! Parents are now armed with all the information needed on how to treat these conditions effectively, combining treating the root cause along with incorporation of integrative modalities. Brain Under Attack puts the power back in your hands and allows you to take charge of your family’s health in a safe and natural way!" --Madiha Saeed, MD, Board Certified Integrative Family Physician and Author of The Holistic Rx"This little gem of a book takes a "Total Load" approach to this elusive illness. Instead of treating those difficult behavioral symptoms and suppressing the immune system with gut-disrupting drugs, learn about possible underlying environmental triggers, infections, and lifestyle factors that are contributing. Read heartfelt parent stories from some who have healed their kids, and find practitioners who will treat you with respect as a member of your loved one's healthcare team. Let this well-researched book be your most helpful guide."--Patricia S. Lemer, MEd, MBA, Author of Outsmarting Autism and EnVISIONing a Bright Future“A lifeline…. An empowering and actionable compilation of clinical insights paired with the stories of loving and courageous families rescuing their children, against all odds. Brain Under Attack is an important resource for improving our understanding of these conditions and getting children the support they need.”~ Kathleen DiChiara, FDN-P, Functional Nutrition Practitioner, Author of The Hidden Connection and Resilience
