Before EPD, 23 months ago, I was unable to eat anything because I was allergic and intolerant of other foods. I had gone through at least 35 anaphylactic shocks, was in the ICU constantly because of my allergies especially to inhalants. These could be from various perfumes, cleaners, deoderizers, scents from popcorn, rice, oranges, etc. I would react to smoke from fireplaces, and gas fireplaces. I had severe reactions to all phenols. I was in my house for almost a year because I couldn't go out in public. Both my family doctor and my allergist contemplated on putting me in a sterile hospital ``bubble`` because they feared for my life. I refused to live that way and I knew I had risks even doing the EPD, but I had to try it. I could die anyways, just by any of the allergens. Before starting EPD, I did the anti-candida protocol, plus I had ten weeks of vitamin and minerals intravenous treatments. We did the cup method for the first four times of ex-theta. I had antibiotics, gut prep, plus a long list of other things. I drank vitamin water ONLY during my whole EPD period. I did this for several EPD's. Then I started eating baby foods called the Mere Poule which has no preservatives, or anything artifical. I mixed twenty ingrediants together. I took one tablespoon per hour to start letting my body get used to this. I did this for another two EPDs. Then I was able to eat many foods with the exception of rice and corn. I started eating just EMU or ostrich through the EPD time and I still do that today after 11 shots. I have my life back, I go out in public and have no problem. I now have my own fireplace at home and have no problems. I can tolerate pretty well all scents with the exception of a few perfumes, but it is FAR from where I was two years ago. I haven't been hospitalized in over a year for anaphylaxis. For me, that is a miracle. I think it is very important in the way one prepares for an EPD , as well as during the time and after EPD. I go to extremes to clean out my room and I stay there the three critical days, NO EXCEPTIONS. I find many will get tired of being so strict and may start to cut corners which can be vital and may end up doing more harm than good. Drinking lots of water is essential. It is well documented that if not enough water is taken, EPD will fail. Hope this helps some, Kathryn ********************************************************** The #1 EPD list rule - NEVER POST A DOCTOR'S NAME!!!!
