It’s Not Just a Virus began as a way to reach parents with children who have been diagnosed, or suspected to have, PFAPA (periodic fever, apthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, adenitis) or other PFS (periodic fever syndrome). Kate Bryant, MSEd, NTP, RWP has written books (found in resources or Amazon) on getting a diagnosis, and about functional help for PFAPA/PFS children.
Kate’s mission is to help educate, guide and support parents/individuals who want to functionally improve their condition. Kate can work directly with you and your child to address the root cause(s) of your child’s symptoms and work on resolving those symptoms with Nutritional Therapy and Restorative Wellness work. This means working on episodes and flares of unexplained fever and more. Working with Kate entails nutrition and lifestyle adjustments that help control symptoms. There is more to it than just a virus – and as an NTP/RWP Kate can support you to find your specific triggers and remove them. Get a FREE Strategy Session here.

Our Story
We have been there! My son showed signs of PFAPA (a periodic fever syndrome) at 8 months old. I followed clear steps to determine his diagnosis. Following that work, I started practicing nutritional therapy years later when I realized that the medical profession wasn’t helping our family get to the root cause of his episodes. We were able to stop his episodes and learned how to control symptoms through my nutritional therapy and restorative wellness practice work. Changes in specific triggers and balancing his gut made the difference in his life. He is now 15 years old and has been episode-free for over 7 years. We continue to balance his nutrition and lifestyle to control his symptoms. In addition, I myself live this lifestyle with a diagnosis at 21 years old with SLE (lupus), I learned how to manage this condition as well. I have been symptom-free for 11 years.
