Guest guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 We use an advanced immunotherapy in my office called LDA <http://www.drshrader.com/lda_therapy.htm> (Low Dose Allergens), short for ultra low dose enzyme enhanced immunotherapy. It was developed from EPD immunotherapy <http://www.drshrader.com/pr02.htm> (enzyme potentiated desensitization) EPD immunotherapy was discovered and developed by a brilliant British allergist by the name of Dr. Leonard McEwen. It is a type of immunotherapy enhanced by the enzyme beta glucuronidase, given only every two months at first and less often as time progresses, that effectively treats a myriad of problems having to do with any degree of failure of the immune response. I began using EPD in 1990, and when I found it worked dramatically well for my own symptoms that had never adequately responded to any treatment, I decided to begin using it for many of my patients with allergy. Soon I found it worked so well I decided to speak about it publicly, and a number of other physicians across the country immediately showed an interest. From there I organized the American EPD Society, and we all joined forces to produce that largest study of any method of immunotherapy ever done anywhere. I published the first study of EPD in this country in 1993 <http://www.drshrader.com/new_page_3.htm> . The FDA wanted McEwen Laboratories to apply for FDA approval of EPD, since the material came from England and was not FDA approved. When the IND application was delayed for a number of reasons, not the least of which were financial, the FDA stopped importation of EPD in 2002. I then developed LDA, a substitute that was compounded in this country, by prescription, which I use today. EPD is no longer available <http://www.drshrader.com/epd_status.htm> in the USA, but it is used in Canada, Europe and several other countries.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 This is interesting. I found EPD therapy back around 1997 when I was looking for something for my grandson's allergies, and he started on the protocol. For about a week before the therapy he could only eat certain foods, and had a long list of things to avoid, and the gut had to be 'clean'. That meant anti-fungals. He seemed to be responding, but, surprisingly, we never saw the doctor. We'd travel a long distance to get to the office, get the shot and go home. Nobody ever spoke to us about the therapy. This protocol was in the 'study' stage here in America, and this doctor was suppose to be part of the study. After about 5 or 6 shots, I learned about NAET and it was offered by a doctor who was a friend of mine, so we stopped the EPD and started the NAET. About a year later, the EPD doctor must have been gathering statistics to report to Dr. Shrader, and he noticed my grandson was missing. He wrote and then called so I told him why we quit. He apologized and asked us to come back offering two free shots (and they were expensive) but first he wanted on a round of Sporonox. I just had him on supplements to clean out the gut and I argued against it to no avail. I finally relented and two days into taking the Sporonox he came down with WJS scaring all of us including the doctor. Immediately we went to prayer and God was merciful but that ended the shots. rheumatic more info from the last note I sent > We use an advanced immunotherapy in my office called LDA > <http://www.drshrader.com/lda_therapy.htm> (Low Dose Allergens), short > for > ultra low dose enzyme enhanced immunotherapy.
