Quotes:
“You'll hear parents say that commonly, they felt like their child was gone and replaced by an alien or another child.”
“They did a study and found that 58% of parents of kids with PANS or PANDAS had been ridiculed at some time or told they were crazy and there was nothing wrong.”
“As a caretaker, whether you're a parent, or a brother, or a sister, or a physician, you have to pay attention.”
“The enemy in this story is the modern medical model.”
“Your immune system's job is to test what comes into you.”
