SPEAKERS: Kunal Garg and Dr. Ozdemir
TITLE: PANDAS and ZEBRAS: Rethinking Neuropsychiatric Diagnoses Through the Lens of Lyme Disease and Co-Infections
DATE: Wednesday 14th May 2025
TIME: 18:00 BST
19:00 CEST (Central European Time), 13:00 EDT (Eastern Time)
DESCRIPTION:
In the world of medicine, the phrase “When you hear hoofbeats, think horses—not zebras” reminds clinicians to consider common diagnoses first. But what happens when the horses don’t explain the symptoms?
Join Dr. Aylin Ozdemir (Dr. O Care, USA) and Kunal Garg (Tezted Ltd, Finland) for a groundbreaking webinar exploring the hidden layers of complex paediatric and adult neuropsychiatric cases. This session introduces a compelling body of clinical evidence pointing to Lyme disease and co-infections – the ZEBRAS too often overlooked.
What You’ll Learn:
- How patients with PANS/PANDAS and psychiatric symptoms are often treated for the “smoke” while the “fire” (underlying infections) remains unrecognised.
- Case evidence from a recently co-authored case series by Dr. Ozdemir and Kunal Garg showcasing patients misdiagnosed with Parkinson’s, MS, lupus, autism, and psychiatric conditions – until comprehensive Lyme and co-infection testing uncovered the true culprits.
- Integrative treatment strategies – including antibiotics, immune modulation, detox protocols – that led to long-term recovery in patients once considered incurable.
- The role of the CARE Guidelines in crafting structured, meaningful case reports and series that can drive clinical awareness and change.
- Why many “neuropsychiatric” symptoms may actually be immune-driven, infection-induced phenomena – and how to identify them.
Whether you’re a clinician, patient, caregiver, or stakeholder in chronic disease care, this webinar will provide critical insights into the diagnostic blind spots and therapeutic breakthroughs surrounding neuropsychiatric Lyme disease and its co-infections.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Kunal Garg is a biotechnology and nanoscience expert specialising in diagnostic solutions for infectious and chronic diseases. He is the co-founder, CTO, and shareholder of Tezted Ltd, a Finland-based in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) manufacturing company. Kunal leads the development of innovative ELISA-based multiplex tests, including those for tick-borne diseases, viral reactivation, autoimmunity, and mycotoxins. His work focuses on expanding diagnostic accessibility, particularly in emerging markets like India and Mexico, where he is establishing distribution networks and clinical laboratories. With a strong entrepreneurial drive, Kunal actively engages in product development, regulatory compliance, and market expansion while continuously building his expertise in business, finance, and economics.
Dr. Aylin Ozdemir is a respected leader in paediatrics and integrative and functional medicine, widely recognised for pioneering evidence-based approaches to advanced medical care. Since 2001, Dr. Ozdemir has served as the owner and medical director of Paediatric Associates of Jacksonville, a legacy paediatric practice originally founded in 1932, which she continues to guide with vision, innovation, and clinical excellence.
Dr. Ozdemir completed her medical degree at the University of Istanbul and pursued postgraduate training at Queen Mary’s Hospital for Children in the UK. She then undertook her paediatric residency at both the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (University of Pennsylvania) and Long Island College Hospital (SUNY). Her dedication to integrative medicine led her to complete the prestigious Fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona under the direction of Dr. Andrew Weil from 2010-2012. She further advanced her knowledge with specialised training in Integrative and Holistic Medicine at Scripps Centre for Integrative Medicine and in Nutrigenomics at Bastyr University.
Dr. Ozdemir’s expertise in understanding and implementing numerous paradigms such as how the environment, genes and nutrition play a role in the whole patient systems approach allows her to practice a distinctive and extremely effective style of treatment and care. In her approach, she uses multiple conventional and integrative medicine disciplines that allow her a choice when customising a patient’s care plan.

SPEAKERS: Dr. Sarah Myhill
TITLE: Water: The Single Most Important Molecule for Life – How it impacts on energy delivery mechanisms and inflammation with implications for management
DATE: Tuesday 7th October
TIME: 19:00 BST
20:00 CEST (Central European Time), 14:00 EDT (Eastern Time)
DESCRIPTION:
Water: the single most important molecule for Life – how it impacts on energy delivery mechanisms and inflammation with implications for management.
Water makes up 99% of all molecules in the body – it holds enzymes, cell membranes, and all by chemical machinery in the correct 3-dimensional shape for perfect energy delivery mechanisms. The special quality which allows this is fourth phase or exclusion zone water. The quality of EZ water directly ties in with inflammation.
This talk will discuss the physical properties of EZ water, the implications for energy delivery and inflammation and most importantly what we can do about it with respect to the prevention of disease.
