consume the foods he made a fuss about, Shloimy Joann’s clear instructions, I was excited to get
was still unrecognizable.Of all my children, Shloimy
had always been the most relaxed one in the bunch.
He was the child who would never fight with anyone,
the A+ student. I believe that things were easier
because it was him, but things were not simple at
all. Poor Shloimy. All this time, he was still
succeeding in school, but it took arduous efforts on
his part to achieve what had once been so simple for
him. But even while he was still doing well, as his
mother, I saw this wasn’t him. One day, in a phone
conversation with my sister, I expressed my
frustration regarding Shloimy’s mystery. I reviewed
the many different avenues we’d tried and how
none of them seemed to rid Shloimy of his
uncharacteristic symptoms. In exasperation, I asked
her what she thought we should do next. Having no
prior background on this condition, my sister was
kind enough not to leave me hanging. “How about a
Google search?” She asked me. Right then and
there, she entered“PANDAS help” into her search
bar, to be greeted to an array of options. While
Google is an amazon of ideas, many of which are not
necessarily helpful, one website caught her
attention. On PANDAS Hope for Healing, my sister
found the story of my life, told by a woman named
Joann Cook. This mother, too, experienced a
harrowing few months while her child exhibited
strange symptoms that no doctor or alternative
Bulletin
healer could find a cure for. Finally, when she found
a solution that worked for her child, she was eager
to share it with parents around the world. Joann’s
son’s salvation came in the form of essential oils,
which she massaged in a very targeted approach.
While I had never cared for essential oils, my
desperation did not allow for cynicism. Besides, I
had nothing to lose. Curious to learn more, I filled
out an online form that would give me the
opportunity to communicate with Joann and see
how I could help my child. Two months later, she
got back to me. As a free service, and without any
affiliation to aparticular essential oils brand, this
messenger from Hashem guided me step by step in
learning the targeted approach for natural PANDAS
healing, which she calls the Raindrop Method. In
preparation for my first conversation with Joann,
she asked me to buy 12 different essential oils so I
can do hands on exercises with her guidance. When
we spoke, she explained her technique, which
involves massaging essential oils into the spine and
sole. As she explained,Hashem created the body as
an amazing self-healing organism if given the right
resources. While essential oils are not medication,
they are an all-natural tool to help aid and support
the body in the natural healing process. Once I had

to work. Twice a week, Shloimy was treated to
an all-natural, relaxing treatment session. The
invigorating aromas of the essential oils were a
bonus for both of us. Before I took this route
with Shloimy, I checked with his pediatrician
to ensure that we wouldn’t be causing any
harm. Thankfully, he gave me the go ahead,
recommending that we come in for bloodwork
to ascertain that the numbers were indeed
going down. As Joann prepared me
beforehand, during the first six weeks of the
treatment, Shloimy experienced ups and
downs. There were days when the old Shloimy
reemerged, only to be rapidly replaced by the
restless, fearful child who had taken his place.
But when we went to take a blood test at the
doctor, we were excited to learn that his
numbers were finally moving. “I don’t know
what you’re doing,” the doctor told me, “but
keep doing whatever you’re doing because it’s
working.”And then, after three months, when
his symptoms were starting to disappear
completely, we were forced to stop the
treatment. It was time for him to go to summer
camp. Although he was back to his old self
when he boarded the bus to camp, I felt my
apprehension in every muscleas I waved him
off. Would his symptoms return or were they
gone forever? The miracle was yet to come.
Baruch Hashem, the camp season passed
uneventfully. Every time he called and I heard
his calm, happy voice, I allowed myself to relax
just a bit more. Today, two years later, there is
no sign of Shloimy’s PANDAS. He made a
complete turnaround. He’s the calm, happy
child we always knew him as. He’s Shloimy.
After meriting to find an effective,
natural solution for Shloimy, I was
filled with a burning desire to help
others who are still seeking wellness
for themselves or their children.
Since Joann’s Raindrop Method has
been so effective in restoring health
and hope for us, I am happy to share
her technique—which is effective
for a variety of health issues—with
the community. I hired a massage
therapist who familiarized herself
with this technique, as well. The
therapist performs the technique for
her clients.
