Low dose immunotherapy, (LDI)
Low dose immunotherapy, (LDI), is a revolutionary treatment from Germany that has been shown to provide dramatic relief of symptoms and improvement in health for patients with a wide range of chronic illnesses, including Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Hashimoto’s, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, interstitial cystitis, lupus, smoldering infections such as Lyme and Epstein Barr, Herpes, Shingles. It is effective and originally used for chronic allergies in it’s original form.
A desensitization of T cells (the part of the immune system that was over-reacting to the antigens) occurs. When the over-activated T cell portion of the immune system is reduced, the depressed immunity is enhanced, which can effectively destroy intracellular infections.
So, for example, let’s say that the patient’s LDI dose included antigens to Lyme bacteria. The LDI diminishes the abnormally activated immune system cells, which is the major cause of symptoms in chronic Lyme disease, but allows the immune cells to take over and effectively attack the Lyme bacteria in the cells.
LDI can be administered by intradermal injection or by sublingual dosing every 8 weeks for year 1 and every 12 weeks for year 2. A subsequent 6-12 month routine booster is recommend to maintain.
Can this be done remotely? Yes, energetic testing remotely can identify the antigens you need and they can be shipped to you.
Low Dose NaltrexonePlease add this service: not a charge associated with it.
Low Dose Naltrexone, also known as LDN, commonly used as a treatment option for our patients suffering from inflammatory states such as: chronic infections (Lyme/Epstein Barr/Herpes/Shingles), chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Crohn’s disease, central nervous system disorders, any immune disease and thyroid-related conditions. LDN is a prescription medication that works to reactivate cells, build up your own endorphins and boost your body’s immune system.
How does this affect those with autoimmune disease?
Naltrexone was once known for treating drug and alcohol addiction at high dosages. However, in extremely low doses (LDN), it now has a much wider use and holds great promise for the millions of people worldwide who suffer from immune deficient or inflammatory illnesses. Newer studies show that autoimmune diseases results from immunodeficiency, which means the immune system’s ability to fight infectious disease is low or even absent. LDN is known to help normalize the immune system and is a helpful treatment option.
How Does LDN Work?
LDN normalizes your immune system by turning off the cells that cause autoimmunity (war) and diminishing the release of inflammatory chemicals in the body and brain. By boosting the immune system, it activates the body’s own natural defenses, thereby stimulating immune function in patients with immunodeficiency and reducing antibody production in patients with excessive antibody production, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease.
LDN is known to assist the abnormal inflammation and immune dysfunction seen in Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Graves’ disease. It actually works to improve tissue T3 levels, thyroid resistance, thyroid transport and even leptin resistance in these disorders.
LDN also works with your body’s immune system through its interactions with your body’s endorphins – peptides produced in the brain and adrenal glands that act as the body’s natural painkiller. The major role of LDN is to block the body’s opioid receptors for just a very few hours. Those are the same receptors used by the body’s endorphins. The body responds to this by greatly increasing its endorphin production, and those higher levels last all day – far after the blockade by LDN has ended. Endorphins turn out to be the major normalizer of your immune system.
Though most commonly referenced in relation to you mood, endorphins also play a role in pain relief, growth of cells and angiogenesis (the growth of blood vessels that feed a tumor). As LDN inhibits endorphin production and allows your body to naturally produce more, stimulation of the immune system occurs, pain reduces, and overall sense of well-being is improved. Higher doses can also aid in weight loss.
