Conventional medicine has been thinking about chronic pain and depression in entirely the wrong way. After years of research, we now know that conditions like chronic pain, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, chronic Lyme disease, long COVID, pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus (PANS/PANDAS), treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) are not diseases themselves, but symptoms of an immune-mediated neuroinflammatory condition. In other words, an inflamed brain or “brain on fire.”

The Foundation for Total Recovery, Inc. is a 501(c )(3) non-profit established in 2015 to help better understand, diagnose, treat, and prevent the progression of immune-mediated neuroinflammatory disease. We do this by providing important resources to help educate the medical field, researchers, patients and their caregivers on the latest information on these chronic conditions.
