ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
What if a child's neuroinflammation began long before the first symptoms appeared? In this episode of Demystifying PANS/PANDAS, Dr. Somer DelSignore joins us to speak about congenital vector-borne infections and how in utero exposure to pathogens and maternal immune activation may influence brain development, immune programming, and later neuropsychiatric or developmental challenges.
They explore why pregnancy timing matters, which early signs may raise suspicion, why negative testing does not always rule out transmission, and how hidden infectious burdens can sit beneath labels like PANS, autism, or autoimmune encephalopathy. Dr. DelSignore also shares the thinking behind her RESET Protocol and why lasting recovery often requires addressing inflammation, infections, gut health, toxins, detoxification, and nervous system support together.
