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 and 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 three injections every
two months and for a maximum period of two 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 ten 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
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. EPDs
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.
