Plan B for PANS

About · How this started

I was the mom looking for Plan B.

Then I became the one building it.

I'm Rachel. A mom of three, two with PANS. When my son was eight, he woke up a different kid — and then told me he wanted to die. That was year one: acute crisis. It was the hardest year of my life. There was a moment I nearly took my own — I couldn't hold the pain of watching my children suffer.

I visited every top PANS doctor I could reach. We went through multiple rounds of antibiotics. None of them helped. We ended up homeless for a stretch because of mold exposure. The doctors at the top of the field couldn't help us.

What eventually healed him wasn't hidden in a paper or behind a paywall. Biomagnetism, classical homeopathy, targeted functional medicine, nervous-system regulation — each one held a piece. He's 99% healed now. I still can't tell you exactly which part did what.

The problem was never missing information. The problem was that nobody in the system could see it all at once.

The microbiome person understood the gut but not methylation. The methylation person understood genetics but not mold. The moms who had already gotten through had figured this out — leaving breadcrumbs for each other in encrypted threads and 3am searches. When one found a real answer, her family needed her back. The threads went cold. The next family stayed lost.

When I quietly offered to help, 300 families wrote back in twelve hours.Desperate. That's the scale of the need.

So I built Plan B. A coordination layer. Minta reads every modality outside the standard protocol, every published teaching, every cohort study we can put on the record, and reads your kid's full story on top of that. She synthesizes all of it into guidance specific to your child. She doesn't replace your practitioners — she helps you use them together. And she gets sharper every time a family joins.

Your child does not deserve to rage, to be locked in their room, or to try to leave this world. There is always a Plan B — and I'm building it for them.
