Show by Soul & Survival

In this special episode, we welcome Kara, a mother who shares her family’s journey navigating PANDAS and her experience using Homeopathic Facial Analysis (HFA) to support her son, Derek. We discuss the emotional and practical challenges of managing his condition, including severe behavioural difficulties, anxiety, recurring infections, and the impact on his schooling and family life. Kara explains her previous experiences with classical homeopathy, what led her to explore HFA, and how learning about miasms and constitutional prescribing changed her understanding of treatment. We examine Derek’s case in detail, including remedy selection, dosing strategies, setbacks, and the role of conventional medical interventions. We also reflect on the progress Kara reports in Derek’s behaviour, confidence, friendships, and everyday activities, and the importance of education, persistence, and collaboration when supporting families through complex chronic conditions. Living with PANDAS: A Family’s Journey: we hear Kara’s account of Derek’s early symptoms, diagnosis, emotional dysregulation, behavioural challenges, and difficulties at school, exploring the impact on the entire family and their search for effective support. From Classical Homeopathy to HFA: we discuss Kara’s previous experiences with homeopathy, the challenges of inconsistent improvements and as-needed dosing, and how discovering Grant’s book, the podcast, and HFA education introduced her to a different approach. Derek’s Case: Miasms, Remedies, and Dosing: we examine Derek’s case history, his identification within the Brown miasm, and the process of repertorisation, remedy selection, and adjusting potency and dosing in response to his symptoms and progress. Managing Setbacks and Supporting Recovery: we explore the challenges of recurring infections, PANDAS flares, antibiotic treatment, and Derek’s tonsillectomy, discussing how homeopathic case management was incorporated alongside conventional medical care. Progress, Confidence, and the Value of Education: we reflect on Kara’s account of Derek’s improvements in emotional regulation, social participation, school life, and family experiences, while discussing how HFA courses and educational resources have helped her become a more informed and confident participant in his care.
