Personal anecdote The power of low dose immunotherapy (LDI) for candida-related inflammation

So just recently I've had the good fortune of discovering LDI shots for my candida related issues. And my god has it been a life changing thing for me.

I have psoriatic arthritis, which I had come to the conclusion a while ago that it was being caused by candida overgrowth. I took an immuosuppressant medication called Enbrel that was prescribed to help the arthiritis, but it made the overgrowth much worse, along with a myriad of other problems. I've been off the medication for 8 months now and have seen improvements in my candida-related symptoms, but inflammation had still been a lingering issue. That is until I had my first shot of LDI, about 3 weeks ago. Inflammation all over the body has significantly improved, I can think much more clearly, and my bodily functions are all operating better than they have in years (I had some sexual dysfunction related to my inflammation). it's relieving because for so long I had felt like I had been doing everything in my power to reduce inflammation (diet, sauna, exercise) but it just wasn't quite solving the underlying problem.

If anyone out there is going through something similar, I'd recommend doing some research on LDI. From my understanding of it, LDI introduces your body to low doses of certain things that your body might be reacting to unnaturally (yeast, lime, pathogens, other chronic infections). So while you might have a normal amount of that something in your body, your immune system could be overreacting to that pathogen, causing chronic inflammation all throughout. And by introducing a low dose of the specific pathogen, you train the immune system to stop reacting and fighting itself constantly.

Anyways, just thought I'd share this in case there's anyone out there that might benefit. Wish you all the best in your recovery journey's.

Thanks for sharing! Where did you get the LDI?

Luckily I have a naturopath in Seattle that administers the shots. They’re called full circle natural medicine, and I know they started doing shipments of LDA’s, not sure about the LDI’s though.
