I've been using EPD in my practice for several years now. I wish I would

have known about the treatment a lot earlier, so that I could have helped a

lot more people much earlier.

Not only is EPD effective in the treatment of food and inhalant allergies,

I also use it for patients suffering from CFS, where allergies don't seem

to play any role at all. The reason being that EPD has a modulating effect

on the immune system, and CFS patients, per definition, have depressed or

imbalanced immune systems.

Yes, EPD can have side effects, but that doesn*t mean everybody suffers

from them. What*s more is that the patient, to some extent, can control

whether or not there will be any side effects. Let me expand on this:

EPD treatment generally doesn*t work like an aspirin, where you get

immediate results. It tends to take numerous injections before any progress is

felt, since one injection **builds** on the next one (cumulative effect). The

EPD vaccine consists of a mixture of food extracts in combination with

beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme. The presence of this very enzyme is absolutely

essential for initiating the healing process of the immune system. Without

the enzyme, the immune system doesn*t get triggered to modify its

response and stop overreacting. So, in and by itself, beta-glucuronidase is the

key to opening the door to a locked up immune system.

People may experience different reactions after an EPD injection. The vast

majority doesn*t notice anything bad whatsoever. A small fraction may

experience flue-like symptoms for a couple of days; some get depressed; and

only very rarely does anybody feel really sick. I have never seen anybody

collapse or get admitted to hospital after EPD. Nor have I heard any other EPD

doctors report these things.

The reason I said people can influence their EPD reactions has to do with

the fact that there is a fairly strict protocol which should be followed

around the time of the injection. For instance, some patients don*t want to

bother with a restricted diet, or have no desire of moving their pets out of

the house for a couple of days, or insist on reading stacks of glossies

(chemicals!). Doing this may turn on you, in the sense that 1) the injection

doesn*t get a chance to take full effect, and 2) some people may actually

create new sensitivities (this is temporary, but still unpleasant and

unnecessary).

To make a long story short: given the proper guidance and support, EPD is

an extremely effective tool in treating food and inhalant sensitivities in

general, and CFS in particular.

This mailing list is a discussion forum for people interested in and/or

undergoing Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization, a relatively new immunotherapy

treatment pioneered in Europe by Dr. Leonard M. McEwen. The pricipal

investigator in the United States is Dr. W. A. Schrader, Jr., whose EPD
