Low Dose Immunotherapy: Bringing Back a Healthy Life
begin to develop symptoms, ranging from sneezing, to diffi culty breathing, to chronic fatigue and pain. Whether the symptoms are acute or chronic they affect our daily lives, and, at times, can persist for a number of years and become debilitating. For some, prescrip- tive medications and herbal therapies have offered some relief, how- ever, may not have provided people with the long-term relief they need where they are not constantly taking medications on a daily basis. Low dose immunotherapy is the solution.

Low dose immunotherapy (LDI) is a form of immunotherapy that consists of dilute solutions of antigens enhanced by a small amount of beta glucuronidase. LDI stimulates T regulatory cells while suppressing other types of T cells that are on overdrive and causing symptoms that an individual is experiencing. This form of immunotherapy is ultimately restoring immune tolerance and al- leviating symptoms that a patient is experiencing.
hat happens when our immune system cannot tolerate what exists in our environment, whether it is externally in our surroundings or internally within our bodies? We
Low dose immunotherapy has been used very successfully since the ‘60s for treating multiple conditions, including auto- immune disorders, Lyme and co-infections, autism, PANDAS, gastrointestinal conditions, food and environmental allergies, skin conditions and more. The dose prescribed for an individual is very specifi c and varies from person to person and is administered sublingually. Once a dose is found to provide a relief in symptoms it is given every 7 weeks. Symptoms decrease gradually over time, and dosing becomes every few months, then every year. Eventu- ally a patient is no longer in need of it. If a patient experiences any symptoms prior to 7 weeks, a lower dose can be given to help al- leviate their symptoms prior to 7 weeks. Low dose immunotherapy is a safe and effective treatment that centers on re-establishing the health of an individual and bringing back a true quality of life.
