Our 22 year old daughter has Autoimmune Encephalitis. She has or has had the intrusive thoughts, eating disorder, abrupt onset OCD, enuresis, panic attacks, sensory issues, agoraphobia, sound sensitivity. She also has hypothyroidism, POTS, Raynauds and MCAS. She's been flip flopping being positive and negative for strep and mycoplasma. She's been positive for heavy metals and mycotoxins. She has been hospitalized twice in one year with colitis. I am totally convinced that these infections are mostly being spread through the childhood v@xes. I have found articles indicating that the some of the v@xes have strep and mycoplasma in them. Our daughter is getting IVIG treatments now. We're praying this works. This video was very informative. Thank you all for covering the treatments you use and bringing attention to these illnesses.
