Ensuring adequate hydration helps maintain intravascular volume, reduces blood viscosity, and supports renal perfusion, and prevents volume depletion during IVIG infusions. Dr. Adame recommends our families to hydrate their child before, during, and after the infusion to reduce the risk of side effects from IVIG.

- Perfectly Balanced Electrolyte Mix Based on WHO's Oral Rehydration Solution
- Plant-Based and Vegan

We start with a thorough review of previous records, lab work, diagnostic testing, in-depth intake forms, and treatment goals. Followed by:

1) Diagnostic
- Extensive initial lab work including infectious triggers (NOT just strep), micronutrients, allergy testing, screens for autoimmune, MTHFR, and other conditions. I send the order to the lab of your choice and you can use your insurance.

- FRAT testing if indicated or requested by family

2)Treatment
(Holistic/Non-Pharma)

- NSAIDs (short term)
- Antibiotics (tailored to history and lab results, short term)
- Steroids (tailored to history, exposure, previous response)
- IVIG (I order serial monthly infusions for one year, but the ultimate infusion pattern is determined by insurance approval, patient outcome, and family preference)
- Referral to ENT for tonsillectomy
- Low Dose Naltrexone
- Leucovorin
- Magnesium (at high doses to support stress reduction and sleep)

How To Make An Immune-Boosting Ginger Turmeric Shot

In a high speed blender, mix some water with:
✅ Palm-sized amount of fresh, peeled ginger
✅ 1/2 to 1 Teaspoon of Turmeric
✅ Juice of 1 lime (zest too)
✅ Cinnamon

01/23/2026

Truvaga, a non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulator (niVNS), is a portable, natural, non-pharmaceutical option for anxiety and sleep support.

Dr. Adame recommends Truvaga for:
- Improved Sleep
- Stress Reduction
- Enhancing parasympathetic tone ("rest and digest")
- Reduce sympathetic arousal ("flight, flight, or freeze")
- Reducing Pain
- Procedural Pain and Anxiety (Dr. Adame is a needle-phobe and uses Truvaga when she gets shots or lab draws!))

Truvaga works by delivering mild electrical impulses to the vagus nerve around the carotid artery which activates autonomic and limbic pathways to modulate sleep, stress, and vagal tone. Truvaga increases heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity after single and repeated sessions. Studies showed improvement in objective (blunted stress biomarkers) and subjective (perceived stress) outcomes.Truvaga works best with repeated use. Dr. Adame recommends THREE times daily PLUS as needed for optimal outcomes.

For our patients, you can try Truvaga next time you are in our clinic!

At Culver Peds we encourage families affected by PANDAS/PANS and other neuroimmune conditions to keep track of symptoms, interventions, response to interventions, and triggers to help us determine next steps in their child's treatment plan. We previously relied on Google forms, family's notes, and Dr. Adame's documentation in the chart to carry this out.

Now there is a new tool available to help families and doctors trend symptoms more effectively and streamline appointments.

The unhide® Solve Together Unified Platform, supported by the Brain Inflammation Collaborative, offers a secure, private platform to track symptoms, identify patterns, and share data with their doctor.

The unhide® Solve Together Unified Platform Benefits Patients By:
- Track Your Symptoms
- Connect Wearable Devices
- Link Electronic Health Records
- Download Symptom Data Reports to Share With Your Doctor
- Set Pacing Notifications (crucial in Post-Exertional Malaise)
- Connect To Research Studies
