How to Treat Underlying Infection That Causes ADHD, PANS / PANDAS, OCD, and More...
A lot of children respond very quickly to the Mucuna pruriens protocol for ADHD, but some ADHD kids also need another form of treatment to overcome ADHD symptoms permanently.Sydenham’s chorea is a “movement disorder” that’s caused by a low-level Streptococcus pyogenes infection. This is the same pathogen that causes strep throat. Streptococcus pyogenes can inhabit the body and mimic the appearance of human muscle tissue using a strategy known as “molecular mimicry”. It may work in concert with other pathogens like Coxsackievirus (which can also do “molecular mimicry” of human muscle tissues) to cause a child (or an adult) to be unable to sit still. The epidemic of St. Vitus dancers in the 1500s was likely caused by a low-level infection with Streptococcus pyogenes or another hemolytic pathogen that can cause muscles to be constantly moving (so as to produce packets of energy that the pathogens can use for their own benefit) and anemia to be a constant problem.

The combination of Streptococcus pyogenes or Coxsackievirus (or another similar type of pathogen) infection that depletes muscle-energy while causing anemia or iron-deficiency causes the child to be in a state of constant exhaustion combined with a state of constant, necessary movement that’s very hard to control. In order to overcome this type of infection as an underlying cause of ADHD, we recommend Cinchona officinalis prepared as a decoction at a dose of 15 mg/kg of the child’s body weight. This decoction can be placed in a bottle of bubbly water to be sipped at slowly over the course of 8 hours daily. Most kids like this drink well enough that they’re willing to drink it daily for 4 to 6 weeks as a part of their treatment. We’ll discuss how to prepare this drink in greater detail later.We recommend that all ADHD kids do at least 2 weeks of treatment with Cinchona officinalis at the proper dose, especially kids with autism or PANS / PANDAS. The change can be quite dramatic in children who are afflicted with this problem.

Artemisia annua:In addition to the 4-6 week treatment with Cinchona officinalis, we recommend that parents administer Artemisia annua daily at a dose of 2.5 grams administered in 2 doses (1.25 grams each) in the morning and in the evening. The child should also spend at least 30 minutes in the sunlight daily (without sunscreen) in order to activate this herbal cure for infection that causes ADHD symptoms.

Artemisia is prepared as a tea. Do not boil Artemisia but rather, pour water (500 mL) that has been brought to a boil over the Artemisia powder so that it can steep for 15 minutes while it cools. Filter it before administering it to your child.
Give your child 2 weeks of treatment with Artemisia annua in combination with Cinchona officinalis as the initial daily protocol.

Methylene Blue:After 2 weeks of treatment with Artemisia annua and Cinchona officinalis, continue to administer Cinchona officinalis and also give your child methylene blue (pharmaceutical grade) at a dose of 1-2 mg / kg orally.
Begin by giving your child one low dose of 0.5 mg. Wait for 24 hours and make sure your child responds okay to this treatment.
Add stevia and water to the methylene blue to make it palatable for your child. Note that it can upset the stomach when given quickly. Have your child take the methylene blue and then give them a snack about 10 minutes later to settle the stomach.
It’s important to get the dosing correct so check and double check your math in regard to the methylene blue dosing before you begin to administer the first doses of this treatment. Add up the total amount of methylene blue for the day and then administer it in 5 to 6 divided doses. You should not give your child the entire daily dose at all once as it will cause the child to vomit.
The Mucuna pruriens Protocol: Overcome Dementia, Addiction, ADHD, Mood and Mental Health Disorders
For 4 consecutive days, give your child methylene blue at a dose that’s based on their weight. Continue to give your child Cinchona officinalis but take a break from Artemisia annua during this time.Your child should spend 10-15 minutes in an infrared sauna twice daily. Do this part of the treatment about 2 hours after your child takes a dose of the methylene blue (when the methylene blue reaches its peak concentration). The infrared light in the sauna will react with the blue in the methylene blue to kill pathogens that cause ADHD, PANS / PANDAS, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and symptoms of autism / ASD.
After your child completes the methylene blue treatment, go back to working with Artemisia annua and Cinchona officinalis for up to 3 months or until symptoms resolve. Administer methylene blue once monthly in cycles, if necessary until ADHD symptoms resolve.
