Eventually I will post the links to the studies but in a nut shell LDA stimulates production of T regulatory cells, and there is evidence surmounting that these cells in turn promote the growth of Th 17 cells which have a powerful effect on killing extra and intracellular candida. so the T reg cells not only stop inflammation, allergies and autoimmune responses, they generate cells that kill pathogens. This is one of the reasons why LDA has been more successful for autoimmune diseases and allergies than any other available treatment to date. But LDA must be coupled with other treatments and diets to get the full benefit. If your pathogen is primarily bacterial you need to take Antibiotics with it, if your problem is fungal you need an anti fungal with it, if you have heavy metal poising you need to detox it, and in all cases you need to follow a diet that promotes growth of good bacteria in the colon get plenty of sleep and exercise both of which support immune function. Do this for several years and bingo that is the cure! Don't let LDA deceive you because typically it allows you to eat whatever you want including sugars and alcohols after the critical times, but don't do it. Go on the very mixed diet and stay strict with you regiments for the first three weeks after the shot and then be very careful adding foods slowly, keep this until cure is reached.
