Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI)
Low-Dose Immunotherapy (LDI) is a revolutionary treatment to help modulate the immune response in patients with autoimmunity, Lyme, chronic infections, eczema, and other inflammatory conditions.
It’s grounded in a root-cause approach that seeks to restore normal immune function rather than avoiding triggers for life or relying on steroids and antibiotics.
Many patients who felt that they’d tried everything and run out of options have seen breakthrough results from this highly safe, effective, and convenient therapy.
Restoring Tolerance & Supporting Immune Function
You can think of LDI in terms of the Goldilocks story. It doesn’t make the immune system overactive nor suppress immune function and leave you vulnerable to infection.
LDI helps the immune system respond just right so it can protect you from real danger without mistakenly attacking your body, environmental antigens, or the foods you eat.
How Does Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI) Work?
LDI treatments provide exposure to small doses of internal microbial antigens to help the body retrain immune tolerance. 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 7 days at a concentration customized for each patient until the core dose is established. Once the ideal concentration is reached, 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 patient and re-establish tolerance, but the results can be life-changing!
What conditions can LDI help treat?
This therapy is effective for patients who have lost immune tolerance to certain environmental antigens, internal antigens or infections and are suffering from widespread inflammation or attacks on their tissue by the immune system.
It can be very successful for those with:
- Autoimmune disease
- Lyme and tick-borne illnesses
- Mast cell activation syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Inflammatory Arthritis
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosis
- Inflammatory bowel syndrome
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Chronic GI Symptoms
- Eczema/Dermatitis
- Endometriosis
- Interstitial cystitis
- Severe environmental allergies
What kind of results can I expect with LDI?
Once we determine a core dose through the titration process, many patients see their inflammatory symptoms resolve entirely or dramatically improve until their next scheduled dose. Over time, patients may also be able to go longer between doses until they only need one or two treatments per year.
As with any therapy, you will see the best results when it’s paired with a whole-body approach to health that incorporates diet, movement, stress relief, and sleep.
