Desensitization For Candida 

There is a relatively effective though one-dimensional treatment for candida yeast infection called immunotherapy. 

In this treatment yeast infection patients are ordered to avoid the consumption of basically all yeasty foods and sugary foods. 

They are given allergenic substance in dilute doses normally in the form of oral drops or injection to enhance the immune abilities of the body and reduce the allergic response. 

The method also called Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization (EPD) was developed by Len McEwen, M.D. (London) in the mid-60's. 

The newest form of this treatment is called Low Dose Allergens or LDA. 

In this treatment the patients receive up to 3 injections every two months and for a maximum period of 2 years, depending on the patients response to the therapy. 

The enzymes are supposed to enhance the candida infection strength and may treat several other groups of allergens along the way. 

The EPD treatment for candida yeast infection goes like this:

For a period of 10 days before the first injection, the patients are given Sporanox. 

Which is an anti-fungal for systematic candida. 

And De-Nol an anti- gastric ulcer agent that reduces the ability of candida to plant its roots in the mucus linings of the intestinal tract. 

For approximately 3 days before the injection, patients undergo a semi-fast. 

In which they need to avoid the consumption of all food allergens. 

These combined with the intake of the following supplements that improve the effectiveness of the EPD treatment: Zinc, Folic acid and Vitamin D3. 

The response of the EPD treatment for candida yeast infection varies among patients. 

Some patients may experience sudden and dramatic improvement that wears off in time while some need increased doses through longer intervals until improvement is maintained. 

Either way, EPD is not a permanent solution for candida. EPD is after all a one-dimensional treatment that focuses merely on the dietary and allergy reaction factor that trigger candida overgrowth. 

EPD s effects wear off in time and If you have significant gut problems, bacterial infections, parasites or systematic candida, EPD will not work. 

The only way one can ever overcome candida yeast infection is by tackling all candida-contributing factors, the holistic way, not just the dietary or allergy triggering factors. 

By fixing the internal cause of candida overgrowth, all candida related symptoms would banish, permanently along with the feeling of increased energy, improved vision, health and well-being.
