What is Low Dose Immunotherapy?
LDI is a form of immune desensitization that works by modulating the immune system and restoring the tolerance for toxins or other foreign substances that induce an immune response in the body (antigens).
It’s grounded in a root cause approach that seeks to restore optimal immune function rather than avoid triggers indefinitely or by relying on conventional medicine approaches that are merely bandaids for symptoms (allergy shots, steroids, etc.).
LDI helps the immune system respond *just right* so it can protect you from real danger without mistakenly attacking your body, foods you consume, or environmental antigens.
What Conditions Can LDI Help?
Allergies of all types
Lyme & tick-borne illness
PANS/PANDAS
Chronic Strep
Mold Toxicity
Skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis
Autoimmunity
Yeast/Candida
Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections
& many other conditions
How is Low Dose Immunotherapy Used?
The successful use of LDI requires identifying the antigen(s) that are causing the symptoms. This can be straightforward, such as using the Lyme disease antigens to treat the chronic inflammatory response from Lyme disease. Other times, it takes a deep dive into a person’s history, symptomology, slope of health, etc. to be able to identify which antigen has triggered the immune dysregulation. It is not uncommon for multiple antigens to be used to find the correct antigen(s) in complex chronic illnesses.
While LDI is not a quick-fix, it takes time to determine the correct dose for each person and re-establish the ideal tolerance, but the results can be truly life-changing.
How does Low Dose Immunotherapy work?
LDI provides exposure to a broad spectrum of potential antigens (environmental allergens/toxins, or pathogens) in extremely low concentrations. These low and periodic exposures allow the immune system to down-regulate its response to the target substances by re-establishing tolerance in regulatory T-cells.
Doses are administered sublingually (under the tongue) every seven to eight weeks at a concentration customized for each patient. Once the ideal concentration is reached (and this step can take several doses or tries to refine), patients see a dramatic improvement in symptoms.
Please note that LDI is not a quick-fix. It takes time to determine the correct dose for each person and re-establish the ideal tolerance, but the results can be truly life-changing.
