Below is the list
the list of the problems treated in the EPD Study 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, thought the list is growing. If you don't see your problem listed here, please call us.

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: Forouz treats many patients
with symptoms because they were exposed to
toxic molds in their homes, at work or at school, and she may give legal testimony regarding
mold issues. The courts in New Mexico are very difficult when it comes to mold exposure, and we've personally had a very important case thrown out of court here for no other reason except the judge felt one of the patients persuaded the others that mold was a problem. If you live here, beware!
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, ulcerative colitis and many, many others. We
employ active immunization for these problems, based on the principals of
molecular mimicry, and now are using autologous LDA vaccines, the newwest development in LDA treatment.
Natural Hormone Treatment: We use natural (Armour)
thyroid and other thyroid compounds, natural hydrocortisone (Cortef), natural estrogen, progesterone and testosterone for the treatment of the symptoms of menopause, fatigue and
most health
problems related to hormonal deficiency. Forouz is extremely thorough in her investigation of these issues, and will find the treatment you need if your situation is complex.
