            Below is the list the list of the problems I treat that can be a result of allergy of all types.  Most of my patients have classical and non-classical inhalant, food and chemical allergy.  The primary method of treatment I use for many problems you see listed listed is LDA immunotherapy.  The list below is a fairly complete compilation of conditions that have been shown to respond to both EPD and LDA immunotherapy.

1.      Rhinitis, perennial (runny nose, nasal congestion, etc., year `round)

35.  Chronic fatigue, not of sudden post-viral onset but of gradual onset

2.      Rhinitis, seasonal, allergic (above but seasonal, hay fever, etc.)

Some other primary modalities I use, and problems I treat, are listed below:

Oral and IV nutritional treatment.  These include patients with chronic fatigue, bacterial and viral problems, acute and chronic asthma and nutritional deficiencies.

Toxic Mold Exposure: I treat many patients with symptoms because they were exposed to toxic molds in their homes, at work or at school, and as a recognized "expert" witness I give legal testimony regarding mold issues.

Dietary treatment: We offer a temporary diet to many new patients who have sensitivities to foods (known problems and the ones they don't recognize), and these problems are causing them to be continually ill.

Autoimmune diseases: including systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, autoimmune degenerative arthritis and others.  We employ active immunization for these problems, based on the principals of molecular mimicry.

IV EDTA and Plaquex chelation therapy: for patients with cardiovascular disease, and I am a member of the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) and use ACAM's standard treatment protocol, and now also Plaquex.  Treatments are usually administered weekly for 20 treatments, then every 2 weeks for 3 months, and then patients are encouraged to receive treatment monthly.  However, frequency of treatment after the initial 20 treatments is usually determined by patients' responses to therapy.  Some patients find that they may experience some of their old symptoms starting to surface after, say, 6 weeks.  Those patients usually advise me how often they require treatment.

Natural Hormone Treatment: I use natural (Armour) thyroid, cortisone (Cortef), natural estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and other natural hormones for the treatment of the symptoms of menopause, fatigue and most health problems related to hormonal deficiency.
