PANS/PANDAS and Immune Recovery
The immune system plays a critical role in a child’s health, behavior, and development. When the immune system is dysregulated, it can trigger sudden and distressing changes in mood, behavior, and physical health. Conditions like PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections) demonstrate how infections and immune activation can profoundly affect the brain. At BRFMedicine, we recognize that immune dysfunction often lies at the root of many challenges children face—and recovery begins by restoring balance.
Challenges Often Seen with Immune Dysregulation
These conditions are often overwhelming for families because they affect both physical health and emotional well-being, sometimes appearing suddenly and without warning.
Our Approach at BRFMedicine
At BRFMedicine, we use the best of integrative and functional medicine to uncover and address the underlying drivers of immune dysregulation. Instead of treating symptoms in isolation, we look at the bigger picture—how the gut, infections, environment, and immune system interact to shape your child’s health.
By working to restore balance at the root level, we aim to reduce both the physical and neurological symptoms of immune dysregulation.
How We Can Help
When the immune system is supported and balanced, children often experience:
At BRFMedicine, our goal is to uncover what’s driving immune imbalance and provide practical, science-based care that helps children move toward lasting recovery.
