Recently I attended a seminar with Professor Douglas Kell and Morley Robbins. Their focus? The tangled relationship between iron, copper, and something called microclotting, and how this triad underpins many of the chronic symptoms we see in children with autism, PANS, and PANDAS. Much of what they shared echoed what we already work with clinically.…

When Folate Can’t Get In: The Hidden Block That’s Sabotaging Your Child’s Brain
Folate and the Brain: Why Leucovorin Alone Is Not the Answer If you’ve been told your child might have low folate in the brain, you may have come across terms like folinic acid, leucovorin, MTHFR, or folate receptor antibodies. For many families, the next step seems obvious: add folate. But in practice, the story is…
Case Study: From Meltdowns to Milestones: Joseph’s Transformation
Case Study: From Meltdowns to Milestones: Joseph’s Transformation Before Joseph was four, diagnosed autistic, with a speech delay dominated by echolalia. His diet was alarmingly restricted: only crisps, fruit puree pouches, and occasional crackers. As a baby, he had eaten well, but after hospitalisation for bronchiolitis at eight months involving multiple procedures, he began rejecting…
Spike Protein: What You Need To Know
Two days ago, I attended a webinar that I can’t stop thinking about. It wasn’t polished. It wasn’t cautious. But it was urgent, direct, and for many of our patients essential. If your child has PANS, PANDAS, long COVID, or sudden, unexplained neuropsychiatric symptoms, what was discussed needs to be on your radar. The Spike…
Case Study: Ava’s Journey – Reclaiming Calm, Cognition and Confidence
Case Study: Ava’s Journey – Reclaiming Calm, Cognition and Confidence Before Ava was 14 and falling apart. Once top of her class, she’d stopped going to school. She was awake all night, eaten up by anxiety, haunted by intrusive thoughts, refusing most food, and unable to cope with noise or light. Her mum said it…
Oxalates: The Hidden Toxin Hijacking Your Child’s Health
I’ll never forget the day I met a nine-year-old boy with autism who was in constant distress: He rubbed his eye until it bled, desperate for relief.He woke soaked through the night, unable to control his bladder.He slept for barely two hours at a time, leaving him exhausted and irritable. A routine urine organic acid…
When Socks Feel Like Sandpaper: Reversing Sensory Overwhelm
When a child reacts intensely to everyday sensations, like the seams on a sock or the hum of a light, it is not simply “picky” behaviour. These reactions often stem from an overwhelmed and inflamed nervous system. What’s particularly striking is that these sensory symptoms can fluctuate — one day a child might tolerate their…
Rebuilding the Microbiome: Where to Start and What Actually Works
Nearly every child we test has a gut microbiome that’s barely functional. Lactobacillus? Gone.Bifidobacteria? Gone.Inflammation? High.Pathogens? Thriving.Resilience? Non-existent. The good news? You can rebuild it. But you have to start at the beginning – and that doesn’t mean throwing probiotics at the problem. Step One: Fix the Environment You can’t grow a healthy garden in…
When Energy Vanishes: The Mitochondria Recovery Guide for Parents of Children in Crisis
Mitochondria are often called the powerhouses of the cell, but that barely scratches the surface. These tiny organelles don’t just keep the lights on. They are the command centres. They decide when to repair and when to retreat, when to launch an immune attack and when to stand down. They control inflammation, send out distress…
The Vitamin D Trap: What Blood Tests Don’t Tell You
Have you ever wondered why your child reacts so strongly to certain foods, environmental triggers, or even absolutely nothing at all? Did you know that mast cells, the immune cells responsible for allergic reactions, can spontaneously release histamine without an allergen, infection, or any clear trigger? And what if that was happening because their vitamin…
