Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization for Yeast Infections

Have you heardabout a certain thing called Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization (EPD)? It was developed by Len McEwen, M.D. (London) in the mid-60’s. The latest form of this treatment is known as Low Dose Allergens or LDA.

In this particular treatment the patients will be given up to three injections every two months and for a max period of two years, and it depends on the response of the patient to the therapy. The enzymes should enhance the candida infection strength and could treat many other groups of allergens along the way.

In a span of ten days before the first injection, the patients will be given Sporanox. This is an anti-fungal for systematic candida, and De-Nol an anti- gastric ulcer agent that lessens the capacity of candida to plant its roots in the mucus linings of the gastrointestinal tract.

For about 3 days prior to the injection, patients go through a semi-fast wherein they must keep from consuming any food allergen combined with the intake of the following supplements that improve the effectiveness of the EPD treatment: Zinc, Folic acid and Vitamin D3.

The reaction of the EPD treatment for candida yeast infection differs among patients. Some patients could experience sudden and drastic changes that wear off in time whereas some require increased doses through longer intervals up to the point where improvement is maintained.

Either way, EPD is not considered as a permanent solution for candida. EPD is a one-dimensional treatment that zeroes in merely on the dietary and allergy reaction factor that may being about candida overgrowth. EPDs effects go away in time and if you have very noticeable gut problems, bacterial infections, parasites or systematic candida, EPD might not be effective.
